I’ll add the perspective of someone new to this scary “camera world “ I’ve never had a camera, didn’t know jack squat about lens, PP color grading and etc.. So acquiring and starting to use a ZV-e10 which is a really powerful beast with some big boys features and managing to work around this so called drawbacks(which is the beauty of the camera) it’s not like it’s stopping you from anything, you can achieve insane results, just have to take some extra steps for it to happen. But that’s the perfect learning experience, cause if you manage to tame the little doggie, when you move to better cameras, you don’t rely only on the features, you learned about why those features actually exist, is like using a manual focus vs Autofocus lens, if that made sense, thank you Mark for continuing to deliver such amazing content related to this camera and inspire us small videographers to make it happen with affordable and smart options

Here another user of ZV E 10 for 8 months now. Great Camera! I use it with sigma 16 and 30 mm 1.4. Mark, as I said before you were the reason that I bought this camera, and also the lenses. Great job Mark and thank you for all the precious information you share with us! Greetings from Romania!

you talked me into this camera 6 months ago and is still my #1 for photo. adding the ninja v made a big difference as well. keep up the great work Mark!

I bought about a year ago and I'm super satisficed with it. In couple with my G 16-55 2.8 is more than enough to me. Thank's for your info and help I took this decision and I'm very far from been regreted... Greetins from Costa Rica Mark! Pura Vida!

I took two of these on our recent vacation to Italy and loved it. It was so light and small, but still took beautiful pix!

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it. It doesn't matter how many videos you do about a certain thing, I am still happy to watch them because enthusiasm sells. Keep up the great work!

You always need to take KZread videos with a grain of salt. It is the nature of KZread that controversial videos do better, so too many KZreadrs exaggerate problems just for views. Sure, rolling shutter is not great, but we tend to gently pan from side to side because whiplash movements just don't look good. There are some high speed actions where rolling shutter can become apparent, but that mostly affects sports videographers, and they are not shooting with these kinds of cameras anyway. In the real world, with normal videography techniques, rolling shutter with these cameras is not a big problem. A combination of the ZV-E10 and a GoPro is an excellent bit of kit that will get you great footage. The GoPro features nicely complement the ZV-E10. Both cameras can do things that the other can't. Together they will be magic for you. And don't worry about exaggerated problems in KZread videos.

You are my go to person with anything zve10! I havent purchased it yet but i want to make sure this is the camera that would be good for my needs and honestly it looks like it is 🥰

I have the E10 since a while now and I agree with everything Mark says in the video, but there's something about the streaming I want to point out because it might be useful for other people interested on it. The first time I tried usb streaming with it I was dissapointed: besides the low resolution, the quality of the image itself was actually not good. I mean, somewhat better than a cheap webcam, but way worse than a good one (I compared it with my Razer Kiyo). But then I tried using the Elgato 4k stick and... Just wow. Actual 4k resolution, perfect sharp nice image, and since noone streams at 4k, you can downscale to 1080 and it will still totally pro and comparable to high quality productions out there. So if you are interested on this camera for this purpose I think you should consider getting the HDMI stick too, worthy investment.

The ZV-E10 elevated the quality of my videos way more than any other gear purchase I've made, and I absolutely love it. Sure sometimes that stupid mode button makes me want to throw it at a wall when I get to the end of a shoot and realise all my footage was recorded in S&Q mode because I accidentally pressed that button at some point, or the sluggish and oftentimes confusing menu gets in the way of what I'm trying to do - but ultimately it just reliably puts out such fantastic images and I'm continuously blown away by it. 10/10 would ZV-E10 again.

I love my ZV-e10 . only drawback for me is the build could be a little better maybe but for the money right. And 8 bit color sucks. But it's allowed me to get into filmmaking and invest in glass. And investing in e-mount... I don't think is a mistake. I have had the camera since almost when it came out a few months later. and soon I will upgrade to the FX30 or maybe Something else. But no regrets here. Some of the best money I've ever spent. I did pay a little more back then only like $100 more I think. Always enjoy the channel great stuff.

Everyone seemed to be sold out of this camera though. No one could get one. I almost ended up buying a used Sony A6000... Thankfully, I found a store in Edmonton that had a few of them. Since then I've watched quite a few of your videos on the ZV-E10 and today I pulled the trigger! For what I do I really like the wide angle of the GoPro so I also picked up a Sony 10-18mm lens that cost as much as the camera itself... Totally stoked for it to arrive.

@@KnineLiveZ I love it! It was near perfect for what I needed. I'm in about the worst possible environment for filming. It's dirty - Dust gets everywhere It's noisy - All kinds of background hisses, hums and whirs Bad lighting - Florescent lighting including low, wall mounted units facing in I also needed to be semi discrete about it. So no tripods or anything like that. It's small and very durable so a great fit. The image quality is pretty good considering I'm asking so much of it. I film at 1080p 60fps. It's rather grainy but again... horrible lighting and it's an action camera. It gets hot but I've only had it shut off once. That was after a couple hours of continuous use inside a hot shop. Definitely need 3 batteries with a separate dual battery charger. The image stabilization is pretty good I think! Has definitely helped me out tons. My biggest complaint is it sometimes will record a lot of background static in the audio. But really, for what I ask of it... it's fantastic. It's no main camera that's for sure. But I'll definitely be still using it tons once I get my ZV-E10. I definitely recommend using a separate audio recorder though.

I really love my ZV-E10 . Of course I use my Sony A7R4 professionally but I have been using the ZV-E10 for in studio video and vlogging. Do you have a video on best outdoor settings for vlogging? I've got the studio set up worked out now. Thanks for the great info and video!

I love the camera, but for my use, I have one annoyance... the HDMI mini out is on the same side as the screen when you are using it to stream or as a webcam (which I do for most of it's use) or when it's flipped out.

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis the zv-e10 is such a great value and a great camera, but personally i dont believe it's a good beginner's camera. this is coming from somebody has been using this camera every day for the past year. not because i necessarily want to but because i work with an online coach and have to share my exercises. as someone who is not necessarily super interested in photography or even videography, this camera has so much to unpack. it's very difficult to see what elements affect the outcome, it is very unintuitive and most importantly time-consuming. i can see the potential in the camera, but because it's so hard for me to find a reference point, it becomes overwhelming and frustrating. i know this is going to sound weird, but i think if somebody understand photography well, they can configure this thing and get so much out of it as opposed to a beginner. i know it sounds very odd, but this is my own observation, i've used other cameras before like the t5i where i shot WAY more on it even through a prime lens as opposed to my current 10-20pz which is way more flexible compared to the prime lens. why?? because on the t5i, it was able to quickly observe and correct and this helped me develop my intuition and understanding much faster. even without understanding any fundamental concepts of photography, i was still able to understand distance and focal range (in a matter of weeks) without any tutorials. i had an issue with the out-of-focus images on the t5i so i thought the zv-e10's auto focus would take me to the next level, but i was totally wrong!! using the zv-e10 it actually set me back despite watching countless hours of research on how to use the thing!! i grew very little despite using it consistently for an entire year. ease of use and usability is very important and something i notice most people dont talk about. having to go in an dial a bunch of settings without really understanding how it effects the image is frustrating. then i have to do it again for a different scenario??? what?! can you see how this is totally frustrating for a beginner? so i leave the stupid thing i auto and HOPE for a good outcome because i need to get things done. not being able to see the real impacts without a viewfinder is no bueno. sure, it's smaller, cheaper (not really, after taxes, i spent about $900 + $800 on the 10-20pz), and it's capable of great image quality, but if i did it again, i would have just stuck with my t5i to get way better this past year. not because the t5i had more bells and whistles like auto-focus , compactness, or 'bang-for-the buck', but because for me it was way more useable; i felt like i was in control of the t5i and getting better at controlling photography and videos. the zv-e10 always felt like a black box. i actually think the zv-e10 is definitely not a beginner's camera and in fact i would argue that the more expensive counterparts like the a7r series is actually EASIER to use not because it's more powerful, but because it has a view finder and PHYSICAL dials that help you quickly control shutter, apture, iso and a better screen to see what you're doing. im moving away from it zv-e10.

Hats off to little Dougie. Just bought my first lens for the ZV-E10, the 11mm f1.8. Looking forward to doing some astrophotography. I bought a Crane M2S to use with my Canon M50 II and looks like I'll be using it with my Sony too. Thanks for all your ZV-E10 videos Mark.

Now, I tell ya," began Grandpa Jenkins, the sun casting long, languid shadows behind his rocking chair as his golden dog Bessie nuzzled against his knee. The afternoon buzzed with the sound of cicadas, punctuated by the distant laughter of children playing in their backyard. "This story I'm 'bout to tell ya, it's got a bit of everything. Truth, lies, and a whole lot of nonsense." His rheumy eyes twinkled with mischief as he took a slow sip from his ice-cold lemonade, his gaze fixed on the horizon where the setting sun painted the sky in hues of orange and magenta. "You see, there was this little fella, about yea high," he said, gesturing with his weathered hand. "Lived in the house behind the Johnson kids. Came from a different sort of family, folks called them rednecks, but we don't like labels 'round here." He chuckled softly, his laughter rippling through the tranquil evening air like a pebble thrown into a calm pond. "One day, this kid asked the Johnson boys to throw a whole lot of old timbers over the fence into his parents' yard. The boys, being boys, did as they were asked." "But when the parents saw the mess, they had a fit. I tell ya, it was like a storm had blown through their backyard. And when they asked why, the Johnson boys said the other kid told 'em to. The kid called 'em liars, over and over. 'You lie, you lie, you lie,' he said." Grandpa Jenkins paused, his gaze shifting to Bessie, who lay at his feet, her golden fur shimmering in the fading light. Her eyes, full of wisdom and love, reflected the man who had been her companion for all her years. "Now, it seems a simple tale of children's antics," he mused, his voice adopting a tone of quiet contemplation, as he picked up a small, sleek camera from the table. "This here, the Sony ZV-E10, reminds me of that story." His eyes seemed to look past the confines of his humble abode, into a distant past, a time of innocence and adventure, and then to the camera in his hand. "When this camera first came out, it was all the rage. Everyone was talking about it. It had some great features, like the interchangeable lenses and its portability. But, just like those kids, it too had its tricks." "After 18 months, the truth about the ZV-E10 came out," he continued, his voice barely above a whisper, as though sharing a well-kept secret. "It was not as perfect as it was initially made out to be. The autofocus struggled in low light, and the battery life was quite disappointing. The overheating issue made it less reliable for long shoots." He gave a small chuckle, drawing a parallel. "Just like the kids who learned about the consequences of their actions, the consumers of this camera learned about the truth behind the polished advertisements. But it wasn't all bad." "Even with its faults, the ZV-E10 had its merits. Its compact size and price point made it an excellent entry-level choice for aspiring vloggers. The kids, on their part, had the courage to own up to their mistakes and made amends. In both cases, the truth led to learning and growth." His gaze shifted back to his audience, a smile playing on his lips. "The kids learned the importance of honesty and responsibility, and the camera users learned to look beyond the marketing hype, to understand the true capabilities and limitations of a product before purchasing." He leaned back in his chair, giving the camera an affectionate pat, much like he did with Bessie. "The redneck kid may have been a trickster, but he inadvertently taught those kids a lesson they carried with them for the rest of their lives. Similarly, the Sony ZV-E10, with its imperfections, taught its users a valuable lesson about consumer awareness." As he finished his story, the last rays of the setting sun casting long shadows over the porch, he placed the camera back on the table. "That, my dear, is the strange and marvelous journey of life, and the reality of products in the market. Sometimes, the most profound lessons come from the most unexpected places." And with that, the old man rose from his chair, Bessie at his side, and together they slowly disappeared into the house, leaving behind the wisdom of a tale that would resonate with those who listened.

Well said. I have 2 and love them.

An excellent video on the ZV-E10. I enjoyed this and your other videos about the camera. I am new to photography and interested in buying this camera. In this video you said you use this camera more or less every day. I was wondering if you work as a photographer and if not, in what ways do you use cameras on a daily basis for your own personal use? I am after some inspiration and worried about buying a camera and just never using it. Thank you.

Thank you!!!

I own the ZV-1 (pre-ordered through B&H), the ZV-E10 (purchase two months after release), and most recently the ZV-E1 (pre-ordered through B&H). I use the ZV-1 as my overhead camera on boom arm, but I have not used the ZV-E10 nearly as much. That was not what I intended, but circumstances turned out as such. I bought mine with the Kit lens, and was planning on buying a couple of more lenses (wide and tele), but then the ZV-E1 was released, which I will move into my Primary camera slot -so I will see how that works. I will still be using the E10, but it will primarily be dedicated to Live Streams. My future purchases will be lenses for the E1.

Makes sense to me - plus you can always use the ZV-E1 lenses with the ZV-E10 when needed

Great video Mark as usual big fan of your channel. Two question. Due to Amazon Prime the Sony 6600 is around USD 1.000 vs ZV-E10 USD 700, which one would you take atbthat price point? My second question is if you are going to buy Tamron 17-70 mm is it worth it to have the kits lens 18-50 mm for USD100, or it is rebundant. Thanks a lot for you answer.

For video - I still think the the ZV-E10 is a better value video camera than the a6600 even with the price reduction. However, the a6600 is a much better photo camera. Sony just announced there will be a new product on July 12th - so you may want to see what that is before you buy. If you have the Tamron 17-70 - there would be no reason to buy the kit lens in my opinion.

Great video. I love your reviews. Very awesome and fun to watch. Question. How does this camera footage compare with S Cinetone in the FX30. I have an FX30 and love it, if I had this as a B cam, would it be hard to match the footage? I heard you say the ZV does not have S Cinetone.

Your Videos Very Helpful Well Done 💯... I'm interesting if you make a Video about Fujifilm X-T5

If I can get one - for sure. But it’s not been easy to get one in so far

I agree with many comments that your channel is a good reason why I got the camera, but I´m still learning. I go back every now and then to your overview of the settings. Will you revisit that video? I´m thinking about how to expose with zebras, work with lav and shotgun mic, pairing it with a ninja v and that kind of think. You know, easy stuff. Man, I need some apple juice, the afternoon in Malmö is Great!

Mark, did you ever did that video where you go slow and deep into all the features of the menu for absolute beginners?

Your videos have been very helpful, thank you! I'm moving on to Fujifilm for a few reasons (in particular the lack of viewfinder and manual controls as I use it more for photo than video), but it has been a great little camera and I would keep it if I could afford both.

Us being unfair with only 600 likes to a 10k viewed video...keep husstling mark❤️

After watching your video on it a year ago I went for it. NO REGRETS! With two sigma lens only around 3k setup it’s a beast. Thank you for your recommendation a year later and I’m still using it daily. I don’t know what the deal is with the lcd in the sunslight. I live in the sunshine state temperatures over 100 sometimes and never ever have I needed to block the screen to see my subject. Never had that problem. I mean are you guys purposely pointing the screen to the sun? It pops out and swing. 😅. Jellow? Whose doing that anyways lol I guess my little d is just perfect for me hands down. Only issue I admit I do have is the small rig cage kinda blocks the off /on button but if you don’t use a rig no worries!

Mark, can you please tell me what you use as your key light and fill light? A video on the topic would be highly appreciated!

I’ll have to do that yes

Mark, influenced by you, I picked up the ZV-E10 in December last year. One thing I'd caution people about is how quickly you'll grow out of it/want the creature comforts of full-frame cameras. I've since upgraded to the S5ii. It's such an upgrade in image quality and features it breaks my head. The ZV-E10 is great to learn on or for casual use, but if you're anything like me (and got really into photography and videography almost immediately) you'll be wanting to upgrade ASAP.

as a zv-e10 Owner myself I agree to a point.8 bit sucks. But it can go a long ways with the right lighting lenses and accessories.. And it allowed me to buy a camera on the budget and put my money into lenses. and all also say One point I didn't think I could push it any farther and then I did. so sure full frame better sensor better processor all that would be nice. But u can make it look really grate. Its just a little harder. And then you'll be ready for the good cameras so if you can grade 8 bit you can grade 10 bit better. amongst other factors.

I use HLG4 or 5 and the outcome is super

As per your advice I use profile PP3 Gamma: ITU709 Color: Pro for no color grading on my Sony ZV E10 camera . I found this provides a true picture of what you see with the naked eyes. I am against colour grading and believe it becomes an art where there is no end. What is presented should be a true picture an not a glorified one. Seeing your videos I always carry three lens, which are Sigma 16mm f1.4, Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 and Tamron 18-300mm zoom lens. I do videos and photos as an hobby and learn a lot from your videos and thankyou for them.

Hello Tony, I have a question for you how does the Tamron 18-300 works?It ist not rebundant with Sigma 18-50 mm. I am going to purchase Sony ZV-E10, but I was thinking to use Tamron 11-20 mm, Tamron 17-77 mm and Sony 70-350 mm, but my alternative would be to buy Tamron 18-300 mm instead of Tamron 17-70 MM and Sony 70-350 mm, money wise is USD 700 versus USD 700 and USD 1000. What do you think?Thanks a lot for your input

I need that type of user experience thank you so much. Don't you bother with high amount of rolling shutter effect?
