  • General
    • Product Name: Alpha ZV-E10 Kit Mirrorless Vlog Camera with 16-50mm Lens
    • Brand: Sony
    • Model Number: ILCZVE10L/B
    • Color: Black
    • Product Set: w/16-50mm Lens
    • Camera Model Family: Sony Alpha ZV-E10
    • Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Sensor Size: APS-C (22.2 x 14.8 mm)
    • Total Pixels: 25 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 6000 x 4000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
    • Digital Zoom: 1x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): RAW, JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
    • Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: 1/4000 (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Minimum Aperture: f/5.6 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
    • Maximum Aperture: f/3.5 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
    • Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Burst Rate: 11 frames per second
    • Self Timer: true
    • Self-Timer Delay: 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds
    • Shooting Modes: Auto, scene, and P, S, A, and M (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
    • Panorama Mode: true
    • Scene Modes: Portrait, Sports Action, Macro, Landscape, Sunset, Night Scene, Hand-held Twilight, Night Potrait, Anti Motion Blur (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
    • White Balance Modes: Auto, daylight, shade, cloudy, incandescent, fluorescent, flash, underwater, color temperature (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 24.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Lens
    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Sony E-Mount, Sony E-Mount (Full-Frame)
    • Lens Type: Standard Zoom
    • Minimum Focal Length: 16 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
    • Maximum Focal Length: 50 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
    • In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
    • Lens Series: Sony E (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)
    • Lens Model Number: SELP1650
  • Flash
    • Integrated Flash: false
  • Display
    • Display Type: LCD
    • Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: 6000 x 4000 (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
    • Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
    • Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
  • Video
    • Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
    • Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K (2160p) video recording at 120 fps (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)
    • Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 120 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
    • HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)

Q: Has anyone just bought the camera and over heated within an hour of filming?

A: Hi.. I just watched a video on this. There is a setting you need to change. It is set to standard heat shutoff.. Change this to high.

Q: I just bought this camera today but it will be delivered on 11/1. I am curious if this is safe to be charged on a power outlet with 220v or safer to connect the USB to a computer? Will be bringing this camera for an out of the country tour next month.

A: The camera comes with an adapter so you should be fine plugging the adapter into the wall. The adapter should have a chip inside that regulates charging. Depending on the computer port, charging might take longer, but should still be safe. I have even used my phone charger to charge the camera via usb c. Have fun on your trip! Bring sd cards and extra batteries!

Q: Did anyone else receive their new camera with the lens attached and no body cap in the box?

A: My purchase came the same way. Surprised there was no external battery charger either, just an adapter with usb cable and the batter.

    Awesome Camera for Beginners and Vloggers!

    I’m really impressed with this camera! The Sony Alpha ZV-E10 is super easy to use, even for someone like me who’s not a pro. The picture and video quality are amazing, and it’s perfect for vlogging or creating content. I love the compact design—it’s lightweight and easy to carry around. The 16-50mm lens it comes with is great for a variety of shots, and the autofocus works like a dream. Definitely worth it if you want something beginner-friendly but still packed with features!!

    Amazing Camera for Vlogging and Content Creation!

    I've been using the Sony Alpha ZV-E10 for a few months now, and I have to say, it's an outstanding camera! The image and video quality are incredible, and I love how sharp and vibrant everything looks. The 16-50mm lens is perfect for most situations, whether I'm shooting indoors or outdoors. It's lightweight, compact, and super easy to use, making it ideal for anyone starting out with vlogging or content creation. One of my favorite features is how great the videos turn out, with smooth focus and crisp details even in challenging lighting. Plus, the microphone input and the flip-out screen make it so much easier to record myself. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, user-friendly mirrorless camera!

    Small AND Mighty!

    There are about a million other reviews of this camera on the internet, so I'll try to keep this one brief, general, and not overly technical. I got myself this camera to break into the world of video and mirrorless shooting without breaking the bank. I'm coming from almost two decades of shooting with bigger, heavier DSLRs, and I can honestly say this little camera has been a lot of fun to work with! Yes, my go-to DSLR has video capability, but the ZV-E10 makes it so much more convenient and fun. I'm SO impressed with the precise, lightning-quick autofocus in video mode, and its compact size and light weight make it so much easier to maneuver. Did I mention it also takes fantastic still images? The one I provided with this review was taken with the included kit lens. I bought the package that also included the 15mm f/1.4, and it's an awesome lens! Basically no focus breathing in videos, beautiful bokeh, and excellent sharpness and contrast. Overheating hasn't been an issue for me, but I haven't shot with this camera for especially long periods of time, usually one or two hours. The only complaints I have are that the battery won't last you much longer than about an hour or two (because the camera lacks an electronic viewfinder and relies solely on the LCD display). I actually ended up getting the dummy battery AC adapter kit, and it's worked out excellently. My other gripe is I don't totally love that the SD card slot is located inside the battery compartment; it's kind of a pain to eject and pull out. Overall, this is a solid, versatile little camera! Don't be put off by its diminutive size; that's actually one of its strengths! I feel like I could carry it around all day versus my much heavier DSLR. If you're looking for a budget-friendly (relatively speaking) way to get started with video and/or mirrorless shooting, I say start with this camera! You won't regret it!
