Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall, this is a solid camera for creating polished and professional looking content. The ZV-E10 camera body is a solid and proven option that combines quick "get up and running" functionality for beginners with a full suite of advanced settings and on-device options for those that are more advanced. The battery is quick to charge (it charges in the device using USB-C or you can get a - sold separately - battery charger and extra cells) and provides solid, long-lasting power. You can use a standard SD Card or the faster SD Express card for even faster shooting. In use, the camera and included 16-50mm lens provide a good mix of portability and quality. Stills are amazing with the 26MP sensor in all light conditions (you'll note that there's no included flash, so you'll want to get one for the built-in hot shoe) and you get some good optical zoom with the included lens - which you can also replace with other e-series lenses for wide angles or telephoto zoom. Videos are wonderful in 4K or the 1080p high frame rate (slow mo) mode with good color and exposure - and the quality of photography REALLY helps get more viewers for your content. Most of the automatic settings are solid so you can set and forget or fiddle to your heart's content. The large flip out screen makes getting the right shot easy from EITHER side of the camera and the built in microphone is solid, with or without the included windscreen (the windscreen does block the hot shoe, so that might change your mind on using it). You can also connect an external microphone or display if you like, or connect a tripod or other device to the bottom screw mount. So if you're looking for a high end camera for vlogging or creating content (or, really general family use too), this could be just what you're looking for - and from a great brand in cameras with Sony as well - give it a try today!

The Sony ZVE10, and it's a excellent vlogging and content creation camera. The 24MP sensor is reliable. Face and eye detection works well. It is not going to lose you mid shot, which matters when you're recording by yourself. The 4K at 24p has no crop, which is great. You get slow motion at 1080/120p too. The moving touchscreen is necessary for vlogging or recording content by yourself. The built in mic is good and they include a windscreen which is nice. You can also attach a 3.5mm mic as well. This camera has Cinema Picture Profiles which has been nice to use and works really well for the videos I've recorded. 4K looks really sharp for video recording. I like the one button aperture adjustment to defocus the background. There also skin softening effects with settings of off, low, medium, and high. I've found this to be an excellent camera for content creation. The screen that flips out is a must have feature. The additional mic input, with a good built in microphone are great. The interchanging lens system gives this camera so much flexibility. This is a great camera that doesn't over complicate things, so that you can get start right away and then use the more advanced features as you learn them.

Review for Sony - Alpha ZVE10 and GP-VPT3 Multi-function Bluetooth® Shooting Grip I’ve been a content creator for a number of years and have a degree in Professional Photography. I’ve had a career as a still photographer and a videographer and have often wished my still camera could do better video or my video camera could do better stills. Finding the Sony - Alpha ZVE10 showed me that you can have both. The form factor of the camera is great for travel — lightweight and nicely balanced. The flippable monitor screen lets you see your work as you record, but I have to admit, I’m old school and would prefer to have a viewfinder for outdoor work. The built-in features of the camera like image stabilization and auto focus make vlogging much easier than most cameras and certainly superior to using (even a high quality) phone. Coupled with the GP-VPT3 Multi-function Bluetooth® Shooting Grip, I found it to be easy to shoot video that is both professional looking and engaging. I found some of the default settings for the camera to be perfect — such as the auto focus. Most of the time, it’s great, but when you want to seize control of the focus, it’s easy to touch the screen to manually focus. The camera even attempts to track where you touched. You can return to auto mode quickly. The image stabilization is top notch. Called SteadyShot, the Standard setting uses the stability function built into the Sony lenses, plus you can use the Active setting to further improve any shaking. The camera recognizes when you are shooting horizontally or vertically, which makes shooting for specific platforms very convenient. That said, the grip is great if you’re shooting horizontally, but not comfortable or convenient if you want to shoot vertically. It would be easy to fix this with a flippable head on the grip. While the camera allows you to download footage using either Bluetooth or WiFi, I found removing the SD card from the camera and reading it on my computer to be easier and faster, especially if your WiFi is spotty. Although I found the battery capacity to be more than sufficient for most of my needs, I would recommend having a spare for extended work, especially if you plan to review and/or edit your footage in camera while on site.
