so i finally bought zve1 with tamron 20-40 mm f 2.8 for travel to pakistan. initially the dynamic stabilization was very bad . i was about to return the camera but then i updated the software of the lens and now i am started to get the desired stabled footage. i tried slog3 but i am not able to adjust the footage properly using my software. My footage does not look like yours and others slog 3 footage. i think that s curve is not making sense to be about adjusting highlights. i tried Cinetone profile. it is good but it is very dark in shadows. any suggestions?
I need an ultrawide lens for use with subject at 1meter but changing to .7m and 1.5m indoor use so widest aperture. Will manual focus work setting it at 1m and not adjusting focus as subject comes closer or moves away without readjusting cous with this lens?
No matter you use a manual lens or an af lens, you'll have to adjust focus distance if your subject stand at different distance away from the camera. Unless you use a super small aperture to create deep depth of field, but that way the image quality won't be good.
So many lens fron TT i wanna try! thanks for the review :D
@@FixnowVG I’m glad you like it 😊
Sadly, they don’t produce this one anymore
Yeah it's a pity. I don't understand the strategy of TTArtisan.
@@ConstantineSPhotography I asked a seller an he said that they just want to test the market
Good photos man!
Thank you very much!
Love this! It is so relaxing to follow you! I enjoyed your pictures, music, and all the information. Thanks!
I'm really glad to hear that, thanks for supporting!
I will buy one soon. Good video! Subscribed!
Let me know your feedback after you tried this camera. Thanks for subscribing!

Thank you very much for this and all your videos. You just taught me some things.
@@soimike Thanks for supporting. Really appreciate it ❤️
Super helpful. Thank you
@@paullafleur6112 I’m glad to hear that 😄
Its macro lens?
No it's not a macro lens.
Great tips! I use a Sony A7C II and I love the camera but I really hate its rolling shutter especially now that I started creating youtube videos. I will try the crop mode to see if that helps. Thanks for sharing!
@@dumspyrospero thanks for supporting 😊 The rolling shutter will improve a lot especially if you use a longer lens. Let me know your thoughts after you tried!
Currently no other alternative with this amount of oversampling and Megapixels
nice!
@@ifzarik thanks for supporting!
I didn't know about the bright monitoring - great tip. FYI - the mechanical shutter is not fully mechanical. It's still EFCS with the 2nd curtain mechanical. Touch focus is great tip too!
@@stkuj thanks for the feedback 😊Do you find any actual differences between the shutter on a7cii and a real mechanical shutter?
Don't know how this hasn't been mentioned yet, but Active and Dynamic Active Steadyshot does not work with third party lenses like the Sigma used in this video.
@@buller2400 I think it doesn’t work as effectively, but it still works?
This is what I really wanna know. Plan to buy a6700 combo lenses either sigma 18 50mm or Sony 16 55mm. If active steadyshot work only with Sony with great stabilizer I'll gonna get Sony lenses instead. But I can't find much people review/verify about that statement
@ConstantineSPhotography I sold my 28-70mm Sigma for this reason, had to shell out for the more expensive Sony 24-70mm
I've tested dynamic active steadyshot with the Tamron 28-200 lens (kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6B2rcieqdibf9Y.html), you can see clearly it works better than standard and active steadyshot.
@@ConstantineSPhotography thanks for sharing. I had watch the whole clip, from what I see, Sony "standard", "active" and "dynamic" steadyshot seem work across 3rd party lenses? Just different degree of stabilizing effect. Because other said it's not working, thus draw my attention of getting Sony lenses instead Base in that, I could just get cheaper almost 3x price of sigma 18-50mm instead of Sony 16-55G.
I thought it was a tilt lens at first but its too clean to be real life 😂
@@edcAdventures. it’s actually some toy models 😂😂 It’s really easily mistaken as tilt lens shots
It’s interesting. They look like toys in the video.
@@dinovideomaking they really are toy models! This is a city building exhibition 😊
Zve1 from 640 to 12800, it's 4+ stops. A7c2 from 3200 to 12800, it's 2 stops. No wonder Zve1 is noiser than A7c2 between 5000 and 10000. Thanks for the comparison. A7c2 dual base iso looks more useful to me.
@@johndao5870 thanks for supporting 😊I find a7cii’s dual base ISO more useful too
I sold my a7rv for this camera for the same reason as yours and I couldn't be happier. It really makes a huge difference on a daily basis. It's just a perfect everyday/travel size camera while still has plenty enough photo/video performance. I didn't like the 1.5x crop at first either, but I feel like it's not that big of a deal once you get used to it, plus I actually found it very useful as I constantly use it to get a closer focal length lol, and the best thing is you still get the full 4k resolution. For vlogging I just use a very wild lens and it works out perfectly. You're really getting a lot for the price.
Thanks for sharing, I'm glad to hear that. For those who don't need 2 card slots, a7cii makes most sense in every aspect. I also tried using it as a vlogging camera, and it works pretty well, stabilization and everything are amazing.
Can you achieve this in XAVC S 4K? Or it has to be in XAVC S-I 4K?
Yes both will work
In slog3, is the ZVE1 at 12800 cleaner than A7Cii at 10,000 iso? In your example it looks almost identical in terms of noise.
I just took a look and I agree with you. It looks almost identical.
Very comprehensive review, thank you.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you find it heloful!
Is the image acceptable wide open at f2?
Here's review video of this lens: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dICLy9SymqyvopM.html You can see the sample images and decide whether they're good enough for you
I will go for the ZV-e2 or next Sony A7SIV (if this is the case, I will sell my Sony A7CII, and my Sony ZV-e10)... I just need the sensor, dynamic stabilization from Sony ZV-e1 and a great mechanical obturador!
Thanks for sharing. A camera like that would be great, and plus 4k120p would be perfect.
Love to see the compact lenses video! I’m personally looking to get the a7cii with a zoom lens. Leaning to the sigma 28-70 would love to hear your feedback and experience with that lens!

@@Reviewtunguoidung 😊😊
Excellent video. I've been watching reviews of both cameras all day, but I made my decision after watching yours. I decided to get the Samyang, due to the increased contrast. The Viltrox produces quite a "washed out" image when there are high contrast scenes (ie white sky or bright streetlights). Thank-you for this!
Thank you very much, I'm really glad you find it helpful. I didn't notice the low contrast look when I reviewed the Viltrox lens alone, but when compared with the Samyang lens, it's quite obvious.
Hello guys, I would like to ask. Is this lens fast to focus in video recording?
@@amomam.official it’s not as fast as Sony’s native lens, but it’s fast enough. I have a full review video, please check it out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rJ941taGfcebZtI.htmlsi=tHAzHoUyMViUY8Eb
How can I change the image file for the videos? From mp3 to mov ?
great video this is what separates the average from the best. going that extra step so many nuances which just showed off every angle for the tests . it was very helpful thanks from the UK.
@@iSmileFX I’m glad you find it helpful, thanks for supporting 😊Greetings from Taiwan
Thank you so much this is precisely what I was looking for and your video was very informative and straight to the pony, subscribed
@@HalXV thanks for supporting 😊really appreciate it!
I don't understand about the "catalyst browse" you said. Is that a setting in the ZV-E10? Or does it has something to do with your 18-105 mm lens? I only have the kit lens.
@@stijnvanhoutte it’s not in ZVE10, it’s a software from Sony that allows you to stabilize your footage in post
recently picked up the a6600 with ibis and looking to match it with this lens, do you think its a good option?
@@Jerry-ex5hy I think it’s a great versatile option if you don’t mind the weight, but you’ll probably need another lens for wider perspective
@@ConstantineSPhotographyThank you very much for the response, I just picked it up and is very happy with the results I’m getting. Also when you took the real life photo samples do you shoot it at manual, aperture priority or shutter priority? I have my auto iso set at 100-5000 and sometimes it will jump to 5000 even at moderate lighting at the widest aperture for the focal length.Thank you^^
Congrats for the new lens! I'm glad you like it. I like to shoot in manual mode because the same thing happened to me. When I use my ZVE10 I think iso3200 is pretty much the limit. If you still want to shoot with auto ISO, you can set your maximum ISO number so that it won't go crazily high.
@@ConstantineSPhotography Oh okay thanks for the advice, will cap out the auto iso at 3200 and is it normal that when changing aperture there is some sound coming out of the lens(very quiet) and some light vibrations. Thanks very much this is my first time owning a camera so am not sure if it is normal.
@@Jerry-ex5hy it is normal that when you change the aperture, the light will also change. When you use a large aperture (small F number), it will be brighter, and the depth of field will be shallower. As for the sound, I think it is possible, when you change the aperture, the focus is hunting and thus the focus noise.
Nice video! I have one question, when I used A7M4, I used to have a special PP setting with slog3, such as color shifts and sharpness, I found that to work better with my luts compare to the original slog3 PP. However, with ZVE1, when I enable the in-camera LUT, I lose all controls over the original color profile like sharpness. Do you know any way to resolve this?
On the import page you can change the AE level, but that's the only edit you can adjust (that I know of).
Personally I find the official video of ZVE10 ii a bit disappointing. It emphasize too much on creative look, while other features (10bit 4:2:2, 4k60p) are much more important. Anyone feels the same way?
😂 me is family photo. Creative look and s cinetone very important as not to spend too much time on post production. I got the a6700last month.
Congrats on the new camera! It's true when I shoot s-log3 I spend a lot of time color grading😂
However, it turns out that Sony has the ability to provide part of the AI focus to the ZVE10 II without an AI chip. This is surprising to me, because the A1 does not have an AI chip, so why not update the latest Ai focus from the firmware?
Typical Sony product strategy, you just can't have it all in one camera.
If you need to take photos and will use it for 5 years, then 6700. If you want to pursue new technology and replace it with a new one after 2 years of use, then ZVE10 II.
I agree. Currently I think a6700 is the best apsc camera (even for vlogging) that can last for years.
but the question is, what new technology? didnt even add the new electrnoic stabilization or the auto framing to it ?
@@CLtech05 Oh, I mean if you buy the A6700, you can get enough new technology for the next five years in one go, but if you buy the ZVE10 II, you need to buy a new every two years to get the technology of today's A6700. It should be about the same, ZVE10 III will add 4K 120 and AI focus, ZVE10 IV will add IBIS。
@@user-bv4zy4kj5g ohh I get you. I was just talking that with my friend, this camera is kind of a camera for a first world country, where you can say , I will buy this cause I am saving 200's dollar then buy the next one when it come out. I live in a third world country and I can';t afford to buy equipment to replace in like 2 years , heck no I would rather sacrifice and put the few extra dollars in the a6700
@@CLtech05 10 bit 4:2:2/ s-cinetone/ cinematic vlog/ creative look, these are new features on zve10 ii, not new for Sony system though
我购买过 zve1 ,6700,手持感觉来说我喜欢 zve1，散光灯 1/30 能用，需要模特不能动太多，我经常开 f16 哈哈。唯一不好的就是过热。
拍靜態照片也有過熱的問題嗎？
@@ConstantineSPhotography zve1 成都夏天拍照也是手烫 不过没关机。好在不是干活。
@@user-fd9oh5vg1t 我還以為ZVE1只有拍影片會過熱🥵
same lens with great performance in his budget
Yes and the compact size is also a big plus
Great video and review !
@@jaymills1720 thank you 😊 great to hear that
Can you use APSC mode at 120 fps in HD?
yes that is available
@@ConstantineSPhotography thanks
Welcome!
@@ConstantineSPhotography what is the best and afford SD card for zve1 4k 120 fps recording?
The one I'm currently using is Kingston 128GB SDXC V90 300MB/s card, but I heard some bad reviews about the Kingston brand. I think you can try Sandisk V90 card, it's supposed to have better performance.
I was expecting to upgrade my ZV-E10 to Mark 2 because I wanted full usb-streaming features, but the overheating issues Gerald Undone has found about that + the lack of mechanical shutter has convinced me to stay with my good ol' Mark 1 since I'm very happy with its results even being 8bit. If I decide I need an upgrade in the near future I'll break my piggy bank and go for the A7CII, because it's the only Sony compact camera that I can enjoy and do whatever I want in any condition without thinking of megapixels, overheating, low light or whatever.
just turn off USB-C charging and you can stream until the battery dies out. my zv-e1 overheated in 30 mins while streaming with USB-C with charging on. after I turned it off, i got 1hr20mins+ (battery died).
@theendurance thanks for the tip, I believe many would find it helpful! @Mandelrot I agree a7cii is the whole package. If it has 4k120p and dynamic active steadyshot it's be a perfect camera. But now I'm already satisfied with it.
As an original ZV-E10 owner as my main camera, I think even though I am 90% vlogging, the A6700 is a good choice. I will shoot more photos with it since it has a viewfinder. I'm currently using my cellphone for photos because I do minor edits to .jpgs. This might change but probably not because I prefer to spend more time color grading video. Maybe for select photos. Plus, I see myself shooting photos with the viewfinder at events and feeling comfortable, then turning the camera around and doing some vlogging.
@@timbrowntown I think it makes perfect sense to use the a6700 as a vlogging camera. It’s got better stabilization, which is an important feature that the zve10 1and 2 lack
@@ConstantineSPhotography thank you!
zve10 II 4k 60p has 1.1x crop I saw online. Is that same with a6700/fx30? I do not recall a6700/fx30 has any crop in 4k 60p.
@@nightdonutstudio a6700 can shoot 4k 60p no crop
best explantion ever
Thank you very much! Really appreciate it.
Chromatic aberration it's very distracting in the Sony.
@@GeraldoSpT true but I don’t think it’s a big issue because it’s easy to fix in post
Didn't realize that from 800-10000 A7cii is much cleaner than ZV-E1, I thought ZV-E1 should be cleaner since it has much larger pixels?
@@loganhallucinates true but that’s how dual base ISO works
The video is over green looking for me on mine .It appears more green than the A74 snd not so sharp.
@@howardhdavidson really? It doesn’t seem to be a problem for me.
@@ConstantineSPhotography I’ve compared the video footage with the same lens and settings and on my unit I’m getting a stronger greenish hue.Don’t know why maybe it’s the characteristic of my particular camera.Thanks for your reply , appreciate it .Good luck.
does it help if you change the white balance on the camera?
Как он с ii я хочу его себе позже купит. Он дешевый пока у меня зв е 10 и кит объектив
I like ihis lens. Very sharp, handles well. It stays on my camera.
I'm very glad to hear that. Just out of curiosity, does the image also look washed-out when you use F1.7?
@@ConstantineSPhotography I may be lucky, but I haven't experienced the "wash." Probably because of the reviews, Pergear enclosed a free hood and I keep the hood on it. Both to shade it and to protect it because I don't have a filter on it. BTW, I also have the 7 Artisans 25mm f/1.8, which is just as sharp but, has much worse vignetting.
Thanks for sharing! I guess I got a bad sample. I prefer the 7 Artisans 25mm f/1.8 to this one.
@@ConstantineSPhotography The 7 Artisans lens is a very good lens, the main thing I have against it is the clickless aperture ring-- I'm old school on those.
