Mark, love your channel, very informative. I run a channel myself, recently bought the ZV-E10 and am disappointed with the stabilisation for so called vlogging camera. Do you think I should just buy a gimble for the ZVE10 or sell it and get the ZV-E1? And if so, what simple run and gun gimble would you buy? Thanks buddy.

I appreciate your real world feedback of the zv-e10. The rolling shutter really had me on the fence. There was a used one here with a feiyu g6 gimbal, grip, and kit lens all for about $600. I’m like … grrr….nah. Couldn’t be bothered with catalyst browse or put the gimbal stuff together all just for a few shots here and there. I’d say go for the e1. Zv1 has good stabilization. I have that and with the Ulanzi wide lens and active stab is good. Plus I can attach an ND too. I want to start experimenting with color grading so 10-bit is a selling point for me. Cheers man.
Wondering why, with all the bells and whistles, other resolution options aren’t available like it is on the Canon r5 and r5 c. Specifically “true” 4K mode. 4096 x 2160, or 2048 x 1080. Getting that little extra width is pretty cool.

Could you compare lumix s5ii vs zv-e1? Price and features are tempting on lumix but lens and features as well for sony
The E1 is good and all, but I need a beast workhorse than can record (effectively) forever without overheating. A7C it is, until we get the coveted A7Cii
Unless you can get the A7C super cheap…. I’m considering the ZV-E1 but I have a feeling when it gets warm where I live it won’t be great with 4K60. The cheap plastic build also is a concern. I have the ZV-1 and it won’t make me cry if I break it at it’s price.
Better 1080 sounds cool and as a digital creator I always found 4k to be way overrated. Until I recorded in 4k. I don’t plan on every going back. Not because there’s such a huge difference in resolution (no sorry I’ve seen some awful 4k). But because when you crop in POST, you’re still getting a crisp image. At least that’s my experience on iPhone. All this time and I had never thought about that. All this time I was zooming in on 1080 footage. Yeah not a good look. So for my content, I plan on sticking to 4k 30. Even if I’m not exporting in 4k. Just gives you more to work with. Just like taking a 32mp photo vs 12. Why did no one tell me about this!!

Mark ist the best! Comprehensive cool review. Hey Mark, I wanted to get a ZVE1. the only thing bugging me is that NOT-mechanical Shutter, which may not be helpful in flickering lights. I have tried shooting in flickering lights with a6300: that Sucks!! because you are bound to 1 shutter-speed 50pfs here in Europe. maybe 100 would also work at time, but not perfectly. Anything above or below that, forget it-no usable. Do you mean that with ZVE1, we cannot even choose that only single shutter speed, at which the banding disappears? This in my eyes, is a huge problem while donig some serious work, like short-films... where picture quality and cinematography matters a lot. Anything possible work-arounds? Thanks!

Between these two i would go for the zv-e1. I'm still baffled they did basically nothing to make it run cooler. The plastic body is a heat trap.
Not sure if you've heard, but, Sonyrumors has verified that there will be an A7Cii coming out this year. There will also be a "high end" APS-C Sony camera coming out, too. No details, yet. To be honest, I am starting to shift between the ZV-E1 and the Panasonic S5iix. It's a tough choice. The ZV-E1 has the 12mp sensor and low rolling shutter and low light performance. But, the S5iix has the ability to record raw internally, and record to an SSD. (I still have two 512GB Samsung T5 SSDs from my BMPCC4K days.) It's a tough choice.
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis
Жыл бұрын
It is a tough choice - but the S5ii I’ve been using has made me want to stick with Sony. You have to really dial in the autofocus settings for each situation to get it to work well, and even then the autofocus loses me sometimes. With tracking it will switch subjects sometimes or go to the background. It’s still a great camera, but for pro work I wouldn’t rely on the autofocus - I would still do manual. For lower stakes things like KZread it’ll do the job. It matters less and you can just reshoot. Plus I like the Sony lens selection a lot better. The S5iiX though will give you all those pro features like 2 card slots, fan, great ibis after 24mm (it’s a bit wobbly at wide angels) and raw recording. For pro videography, I would do the S5iix with manual focus instead of the zv-e1. But I would take the a7iv over both - because I am too lazy to manual focus

it’s hard to make the Panasonic videos. People get really, really angry if you say anything besides “it’s perfect”.

I go back and forth about making it, but trying to make videos about Panasonic has not been fun

I’m not saying you’ll do this but while you’re on a roll, I’d like to see a video (so I don’t have to watch every video and then rank them myself) where you do a side by side with a lot of these cameras features, and each line item, say who wins in the feature. So let’s say A7C, zve1, fx30, a7iv, a7siii, maybe fx3. Not to give one total final winner. But to paint the picture of who does best and what feature. This way if we see enough points that pertain to our situation landing on a certain camera, we know that’s the one. Cuz when I watch this for example I’m like oh hey true A7C is better at blahblagblah. But then it makes me forget, and want to go watch your other video to see how that compares between the a7iv and zve1 on that video. I mean hey, it’s not bad to be jumping around between your videos again. But I wonder if I am thinking this, other people could find it helpful as well. Might be kinda epic.

I think you haven’t been watching the channel long enough. I’ve always done these spec comparisons - my first ever video was a spec comparison. I’ve always done gear reviews. My whole channel is really based on them, as I started to get more videos, I have managed to get my hands on a lot of cameras, and I do a ton of tests on them in an effort to help and do videos I enjoy. I also do menu guides, tutorials, lens, accessories testing. I can’t help if you perceive something dishonest - I don’t work for any company - people have sent me gear to review for the channel since about my first 2 months on the platform. I buy tons of gear, and I am sent tons of gear (most of which are loans, in case you don’t know). I point out pros and cons of everything. I get excited about gear sometimes because I love it. Why would I have started a channel otherwise? there tons of cameras and lenses and accessories available - what would I have to gain by telling people anything other than the truth? I spend a huge amount of time trying to provide unbiased video. I also buy the cameras and lenses out of my my own money. I don’t appreciate being called dishonest - it’s not cool.

I really love the pros/cons breakdowns of these comparisons! It really puts things into perspective, from a user's point of view. I do really wish someone (Mark or otherwise) would have this type of comparison/discussion when buying lenses if you have an APS-C camera and want the potential of moving to full frame in the future. For example, if I buy the ZV-E10 body only , what's a good wide angle lens that wouldn't limit me from buying a full frame later on?

I think the premise of this question is flawed.. if you buy an APSC lens.. no matter which one.. you will essentially limit yourself when switching to a full frame body.. you would have to run that body in APSC crop mode to use it correctly which would be technically “limiting” your camera body.. more so in the photography portion because it will reduce your megapixels.. in video you wouldn’t notice it as much because it’s still gonna put out up to 4k.
