    I recently had to put a new podcast studio together for my company and needed a new camera. I have a Canon m50 that i use for my home office but wanted a clean hdmi output this time around. I could’ve simplified my life by getting the m50 mk2 but they werent in stock at my store. I took a chance on this Sony Zv-E10 and couldnt be happier. My videos are so much better now due to me using the hdmi output vs the usb option i was using on the Canon. It took me a while to get use to the Son menu but once i did, everything was a breeze. Definitely recommend.

    The ZV-E10 is Sony’s latest entry to their Alpha camera line, intended for content creators. It’s clear this camera is designed mainly for video content and is focused on anyone who is looking to break into the vlogging craze and it really does excel in this arena, both from the feature set and price point. And it takes great still pictures as well. This kit comes with the ZV-E10 body and a Sony 16-50mm lens. This camera uses Sony E-mount interchangeable lenses so you have the ability to use a large selection of lenses to suit your shooting needs. The ZV-E10 is light and compact. Holding the camera, while small, feels stable in my big hands, although I prefer to use the camera on a grip like the Sony GP-VPT2BT Bluetooth Wireless Shooting Grip which also gives you a little extra distance if you are shooting selfies. There isn't a viewfinder on the ZV-E10 - this is accomplished with the LCD touch screen which swings out from the rear of the camera and can be rotated to the front or rear of the camera. While the display does have touch, it's limited to selecting focus points only. On the subject of focus, this camera has the fastest autofocus I’ve seen. Another thing that isn't on the ZV-E10 is a flash. However, you can add one via the multi-interface shoe. My favorite feature of the ZV-E10 is the Bokeh (background blur) button. While the same effect can be had by using settings for those familiar, the button allows you to not have to mess with any manual settings, just press the button and you instantly get a bokeh effect that looks great. Another great vlogger feature is the Product Showcase feature. Just press the button and the camera will automatically change focus from your face to anything that you hold in front like a product or part that you are explaining. No more using a hand to guide the focus. Finally, slow-motion, just push the button to get decent slow-motion shots - it doesn't get any easier. The ZV-E10 does offer two image stabilization options, Standard if your lens supports Sony’s Optical Steady Shot (OSS) and Active which adds a severe crop to your content. The camera also records all the gyro info in it's files so you can also use Sony’s Catalyst Browse software which adds another step in your workflow but does a better job and allows you to shoot with no stabilization to get a larger image. 4K video is very good aside from the rolling shutter when there is fast movement of the subject/content. Colors were accurate and did not require correction in post productiopn. Low light videos were just ok with the kit lens. Audio is captured with a 3-capsule microphone on top of the camera and it does a great job. There is a wind cover which works great as well. The ZV-E10 also has a microphone jack and headphone jack to monitor audio. You can also use the multi-interface shoe to connect to several Sony microphones. The ZV-E10 can be used as a webcam simply by connecting the USB-C and turning on streaming in the menu. Battery Life was as rated, I got about 90 minutes of shooting per charge. The menu does not allow touch control, you have to use the dials but after using it a few times and learning the layout of the pages it was easy to navigate. The menu is cluttered and a bit confusing however, it does provide plenty of personalization via the “my menu” setting. Formats I really like Sony’s ZV-E10. Shooting video on automatic right out of the box was easy to do and the results were pleasing. The camera isn't perfect or groundbreaking but it does what it's supposed to do for the price. Yes, I would recommend the Sony ZV-E10 to a friend.

    It was fun while it lasted. However, after 10 months of owning it, it randomly will not turn on. I changed the battery, a/c power, outlet and even sd card. It has no damage, but it is out of the exchange period with bestbuy. Thankfully it is still under warranty with Sony, but they don't take back cameras that won't turn on or provide exchange, they just provide repair. So now I will be without a camera until this long dragged out process is over with the shipping back and forth. With the brand name Sony and the high price you expect their cameras to last. Not quit working in less than a year. I used this for video conferences, now i will have to use the blurry webcam on my macbook.

    Unfortunately, the battery is just too weak to record longform live events. The picture quality is solid but since it’s video centric, it needs to have a video oriented battery that doesn’t die so soon.
