Product Reviews

I have been a keen user of Sony Cameras over the past few years, and amongst these I had an A6300 and a ZV1. I sold both these to buy a new ZV-EH10, on the basis that it combines the best features of both....and allows me to use the range of e-mount lenses I seem to have accumulated. If needed, I can also use some of my A mount lenses with a converter. So ostensibly it represents the complete deal - and so far I am very happy with the results. It is a very user friendly piece of kit both as a video camera and for its stills capabilities. From a very subjective view I would prefer the body design to be not quite so square and sharp edged - although this seems to be the way most of the new designs are going... In comparison, I have been used to the very comfortable and more rounded feel of my A5100 and A77 - two of my favourite cameras ever. Nevertheless, the RV-EH10 is a great addition to the stable.

It took me almost an hour to locate the model of my camera. You kept rejecting again and again.

i bought this cam 2 months and i am happy for the features

I've been a photographer for over forty years but this is my first foray into mirrorless hardware. I was looking for a small, well built interchangeable lens camera to use ordinarily for shooting video and sometimes as a compact still camera for when I'm backpacking. This hits the mark on all fronts. It's built like a little tank, nothing feels creaky, nothing flexes. I like that the screen can be rotated to protect it when not in use. The buttons and dials are solid and responsive. Altogether this feels more like a professional camera than I could have hoped for. Video quality is excellent. I love that I have the option of HLG for simplified colour grading in post. Still image quality is much better than expected too, I can certainly live with this out in the mountains where size and weight come into play. It even seems to produce reasonable results in its automated video and photo modes, making it ideal for those wanting to move into the world of interchangeable lens cameras for the first time. On the minus side, using it in manual mode is a little more "fiddly" than the DSLR's I'm accustomed to, I'm having to delve into the somewhat convoluted menus a little more often than I'd like. A trade off for the small form factor is fewer buttons and dials than one gets on a full frame DSLR. This will get easier as I get more acclimatised to the Sony menu structure and as I customise the camera to suit my workflow more. If you're more acquainted with Sony cameras this will be less of an issue for you. My other little gripe is the relatively short battery life. I guess its only to be expected in a camera so small that needs to power a screen whenever it's in use. As an aside to that, I do miss the viewfinder, particularly in bright light. Those little gripes aside, this is a fantastic camera that produces great video and stills at a real bargain price. I don't hesitate in recommending it.

Bought this product a few months ago and for its price, it's great. Yes there are some issues like the rolling shutter, but this can be easily fixed through post-edit. Overall it's a great camera, autofocus is great, build is good, lens can be interchangeable, lots of settings to choose from, and with proper third-party equipment and accessories, it can be a good light video/vlog camera on the go. It does also capture nice photos. I just wished it had a viewfinder, like the A6000 series, and a full-touch functionality LCD screen, but I can't complain with the price.

I bought this weeks ago. I use it more frequently on my trip to Thailand last week. Was very happy with all the features. However. I do have one issues bother me alot now,maybe aome setting problem. My camera oftens auto zooming when i took video.ita really bother me alot. Can you help to tell me how to fix thanks.

I bought this camera as my first ever digital camera other than my usual phone camera that I’ve been using for years. I wanted higher quality images to preserve special moments with friends and family. The Sony ZV-E10 has little to no learning curve very straight forward with great picture and video quality would recommend you purchase extra Sony batteries for long trips and I plan on upgrading the leans as a grow with my camera skills 10/10 would recommend it! USB - c was a big selling point for me due to my laptop.

So far, so good! Bought it for my business, now gonna use it!

Crispy 4K Video Out Of This Interchangeable-Lens Vlog Camera Sony ZVE10!

I bought it around 1 and half month ago and already used it a lot ...ido fish photography and habitat photograhy ... with fish it work awesome ! With that animal eyes follow i can should easily , as for habitat photography i cant ask for better at this price point ... this is a super camera for beginners ... and il recommended it 100% !!

in Indonesia we called it "GOKIL!". Its means suprisingly AMAZING!

I'm really excited that I have this camera finally. It can do whatever an ametuer photographer wants. Just more than worth the price.

Tiny, light weight with great performance vdo and photography this is my everyday use camera right now.

Everything is great about this camera; it just needs in body image stablizer.

Excellent performance and exceed my expectations. It is so compact and versatile

i have alot of options but i decided to buy thr zv e10 mirrorless camera because of its cool design and superb features. i always use it everytime i take photos and videso eith great ease.

This is no ordinary Vlog Camera. It's a full on HDR film camera! The Sony ZV-E10 is light, it's responsive to my filming needs, has great Auto Focus, you can set it in Ai Mode or into a mode that you like. Did I mention you can record video in Dolby Vision, also known as BT 2020 ? yup, just use Picture Profile 10, HLG 3, to record in HDR and it looks fantastic too.. if you are looking for a camera to shoot your short film with, then this might be it that fits your budget. And yes, it takes great photos too. I love it as a self-funded filmmaker, and I'm currently shooting using this camera for a short film called #MeetTheMetaHumans to be released in Spring 2022, in cinemas. So my opinion is, yes.. get one!

Have great features, easy to use, best for beginners or as a second camera

After owning several cameras, the ZV-E10 is hands down the most versatile yet vlogger specific camera around. With emount lenses, it takes my livestream setup at home up several notches as viewer exclaimed how sharp the video looked! Only issue I have is that my USB-C and HDMi cameras from the camera ports block the viewfinder in selfie view.

It is 100% true that SONY ZV-E10 was designed for a better vlogging experience and I love it so much.

I pre-ordered this camera for the first time in Indonesia and I was very happy with this camera, I just asked for a better grip when using a large lens like the FE lens.

Im not understand yet all the function and best settings but so far it was good camera especially for a beginner user.

Love this Vlog camera, bunch of features and value for money. Hopefully next model have ibis.

very pleased with this new model, all i wanted n a compact camera.

This is perhaps one of the best cameras for content creators. All the features of the camera are what content creators always wanted, super fast focus, great grip, great audio, flexible flipping screen, etc. Battery is a bit weak, same battery since decades ago. Should improve on this seriously Sony. Also for manual focus, there should be greater magnification for video. It's only 4x now, I can hardly focus properly. Overall a great camera.

This camera is excellent for someone who is looking for small mirrorless camera setup for videography. It has excellent features suited for videography like flip lcd screen, interchangeable lens and excellent auto-focus.

I am new to interchangeable lens cameras. This camera quite easy to use.

I sourced this camera to record some training videos for work having been previously impressed with Sony cameras. I love the quality feel of the camera and it has a nice weight balance. The interchangeable lenses are great for a range of specific uses, but I'll probably stick with the lens that came with it or a wide angle for the training videos. There are a huge range of settings that you can configure on the camera, like my old SLRs, but in most cases I'm happy to use the automatic settings that allow me to point and record. The photos are great quality, but for lower light conditions the tripod option is a good additional asset. I did some test shots with the camera at a local river and mill in the peak district and got nice shots with good colour and contrast in standard auto mode. I then tried the manual aperture and speed settings to get some great shots of the flowing water to see how that function worked. The video recording or live streaming is the primary aim of the camera and it doesn’t disappoint, the great feature of the product showcase allows you to hold something to the camera and it rapidly focus on that and blurs the background. This has worked flawlessly and makes me want to use it more in the technical videos. Sound quality with the in-built microphone array is very good and it worked especially well outside with the dead mouse wind deflector. I went for a walk in the park to test out the stabilisation feature whilst doing a small piece to camera and it performed extremely well. I'm aiming to use it for live streaming in the next meeting when we're in the office to get a better view of the team rather than the inbuilt laptop camera and microphone and expect it will be perfect for that too.

A good starting APSC camera for online stuff. It can also be a B camera for any online influencers that wants for versatility. What makes it more appealing is the interchangeable lens though it can be costly once you stack it up. Though it lacks a viewfinder which kind of a bummer but understandable considering it's primary purpose it intends it to be. There are other cons but so long as you just focus on what's it meant for I think in the long run you'll just love it. But don't forget to checkout other options too!

I bought Sony ZV-1 one year ago, and I feel that its performance is indeed very good. The body is light and easy to operate. Focus fast and accurate. Sony ZV-E10 went on sale on August 16, and I bought it from an agent. The ZV-E10 has a good grip. I used it as a webcam and the video quality was better than expected. Unfortunately, there is no touch screen operation.

Bought this because I want to start my vlogging hobby and this is the perfect camera you could ever have

I replaced my ZV1 with this. I found the ZV1 to be just too small to hold, too difficult to operate, and the lens wasn't great. Along comes the E10 and I can use all my art range lenses on it. It's just that tiny bit better in every area and the addition of E mount sold it straight away! Makes for the perfect B camera to my A7siii.

This is the first Sony camera that i have used and i was not familiar with the camera menu, so setting up the camera was not easy because i had to go on youtube to do it. The Sony ZV E10 camera is built to very high standard, light and compact and could easily fit in my coat pocket,on the top of the camera, the controls are nicely laid out with on/off button, the mode button which changes the camera to still, video or slow or fast, the microphone at the top left side, to right, there is a dedicated button that switch video mode instantly and also the C1 button which defocus the background and the shutter button with a toggle switch for wide or tele zoom and i really like the articulated screen, which allowed me to take photos from various different angle, i only used ZV- E10 with the kit E PZ 16-50mm F3.5- 5.6 lens to photo and video and the quality is very good with vibrant coulours. I only had the camera for just over a week, so i am still learning and i m sure that i will get better with more practice.

its a great camera interchangeable lens for newby but not good as a vlog cam cuz there jello effect

Main purpose for purchasing this cam was for web streaming, but it is also nice and compact for photos on the move. Already thinking of new lenses to use on this cam

I’m not a vlogger, by no stretch of anyone’s imagination could I be called a vlogger. I am a middle aged man who loves clever technology. My 11-year-old son is a vlogger and runs his own YouTube channel with only his mates as followers – a whole handful of them. So, for me, the ZV-E10 is a very different proposition than to my son. The short review is… we both love it, for very different and identical reasons – but for totally different applications. Read on… When we go on holiday one of the first questions the kids will ask is.. “Dad, will you make a holiday movie…?”. I’ve created the habit of making a movie for every holiday we’ve ever been on – you know the kind, 20 minutes long, lots of footage of the kids on zip wires, beaches and fairground rides mixed with some Kidz Bop type music. The kids love them, and show them all to their mates and grandparents with glowing pride. What they have never noticed, is that the “movie” can be a bit old fashioned – steady camera shots, everything perfectly in focus and framed – and to the casual observer the fun could be seen as staged. They lacked life. They are filmed more like a documentary on ancient history. The ZV-E10 changed that. I’ve been using it now for a couple of weeks, and that coincided with our annual August family vacation. Now normally, I’d have captured my content on a smartphone – which is all well and good. But this year I left the smartphone in my pocket and committed to capturing everything on the ZV-E10. I acquired the handy (pun intended) bluetooth remote/handle/grip accessory and easily paired and attached it, and this somehow transformed me into a cool content maker. Whilst the camera itself is the real star (and I’ll come onto that), the Sony GP-VPT2BT Handigrip took it up a level. It inspired me to get mobile, to get low down and high up angles of stills and video footage that I’d have never even thought of previously. I moved around my subjects. That inspiration, from an admittedly clever bit of Bluetooth enabled / remote control plastic turned me into the cool content maker I described. I’d realised that this cool device could open up a whole new world of possibilities for the holiday movie – and so delved into the features of the real star of the show – the ZV-E10 that was attached to the end of it. This was when my mind was really blown, and I thought for a moment that I could be the next Michael Bay. I mentioned earlier that my previous movies had been a bit steady and staged – so first I discovered the Active Mode – which stabilizes the image – this removed one of my pet hates of home movies – shaky filming! The simple single switch to activate blurry mode – which switches depth control on and off at the flick of a switch resulting in that beautiful, blurred background that makes everything look so professional. The quick autofocus, which allowed a spirited lap or two on the go-karts to become like a James Bond car chase as I was filming in selfie mode, with the kids trailing behind me – the focus switch from me to them was almost instant. The ability to monitor live what I was filming on the handy flip out rotating screen. Slow motion capture – this worked great with the kids bodyboarding in the waves. So now I felt like a movie maker, and after quickly transferring the footage and stills via WiFi to my tablet device – I did a quick edit and I have to say I was blown away by the end result – the colours, the light, the movement and the focus really made my previous efforts look like a nature documentary from the 70’s. Whilst this camera delivered all the clever technology you could wish for (and then some), the side benefit was it gave life and excitement to something that had previously been so dull. Everything I filmed and photographed seemed alive. My son has now swiped it from me and has been using it for live streaming and recording online videos. His response… It’s super cool. Enough said, well done Sony.

When I got the camera I checked out it's instructions. I found all I needed to get started were Web manuals(tutorials). From that I was up and running in no time. Did notice that a memory card was mentioned as was the shooting grip with remote commander. Purchased both items, found the shooting grip was a great help and would highly recommend it. Uploaded Imaging Edge mobile app to connect my phone to the camera. This manages the transfer of photo/video images. The big bonus is that it features interchangeable lenses as I already have some from my previous camera. I found that operating the camera has good navigational controls and operate with confidence. The Image Sensor has an amazing range of light control. Just looking forward to gaining experience in the world of vlogging.

Be in now doubt this is aimed 100% at anyone creating video content. The box literally screams “Made for Vlogging”. The design of the body targets video recording well. The camera is compact and easy to hold (especially using the optional grip). It has a fully articulating screen (please Sony put this on all your cameras!). There’s no eye viewfinder and Sony have removed some of the photography buttons- replacing them with buttons vloggers need. This might be a bit annoying when you’re taking still photos. It takes very good photos, but that shouldn’t be your primary use and if it is- there are better options for you in the Sony range. Shooting Video- -Vertical video- adored this option- so much content these days is for mobile and this camera makes it easy to record it the right way straight into the camera- so no messing about afterwards. -Background de-focus- this is a pre-set button on top of the camera and its something your going to use- you flick the switch and it changes from clear to blurry. It works whilst recording and is pretty instant and doesn’t detract from the video you’re shooting. -Inputs- has all the essentials- mic, headphones and it allows charging whilst in use. -Amazing best in class auto focus- having used Sony for a number of years I know how good the auto focus can be- it just works really well. Leaving you to worry about the content of the video and not if the content is in focus. -The camera has a “product showcase” feature- which is great if your doing videos and want to hold something up for the camera to focus on- it just snaps into focus on the item and then back to you when you move it out of frame. I was able to get the item to focus much closer to the camera on different lenses to the supplied kit lens- but if that’s all you have you will soon work out the distance you can work in. -Cinema Profiles- this is something I haven’t used yet- this is something extra that by using a specific camera like the ZV-E10 you can add to your content. I hope to start experimenting with these in the near future. -Microphone has been upgraded versus a normal Sony camera. It is very clear and the supplied furry cover for windy weather is a neat touch. It hasn’t been very windy so I’ve not been able to test that bit. You may want to plug in a separate microphone, however its good to know the camera can perform fine without doing so. -I like the powered zoom lens and I think it will work for a lot of people. The fact that the camera then has a zoom toggle button on the body is great and very well thought out. (Also works on optional grip) -Stabilisation (Called Steadyshot) is good. Two modes- Active and Standard. Active introduces a crop (makes the camera look closer) but does a great job of smoothing out say walking. Standard less so- but I liked the standard look more- felt more natural and didn’t make the camera look so close to you. -Camera automatically did a good job of making sure my face was exposed even with bright backgrounds. -Flexibility to change the lens to adapt to your specific video content needs. -And the main thing- the video quality- well as you would expect it was exceptionally clear and detailed. Niggles- -The charging light is under the cable when inserted and quite hard to see- so you have to manipulate the camera to make sure the light is on and you’re on charge. -The SD card slot- easy to put in. Not so easy to remove as its right up against the battery door cover and whilst my fingers aren’t that big, it was tricky to grab hold of the card to remove. -Power Zoom Lens- when I took this lens off and put on a non powered lens- every time I knocked the zoom button- I got a message over the full screen telling me this function couldn’t be used – I couldn’t work out how to stop this message being displayed. This might just be me. Also, note the noise of the zoom is picked up when using the in-camera microphone. In Summary- If your currently creating content on a phone/tablet/action camera and want a big step up in the quality and creavtivity in your workflow then this is aimed at you (and me). It’s a bit of kit that will grow my skillset. Don’t be put off- its easy to use if your new to a camera- but has the spec and options to allow you to play with more advanced video content tools when your ready. Just remember growing might mean more kit. So, if your base is the camera and the kit 16-50MM powered lens. Then its likely future investments will be either 1- the Sony Grip (GP-VPT2BT) which is a must if your moving around in your content, but its also great as a desk stand as it makes it easy to access the essential buttons (I bought this). And 2- at some stage you may want an additional lens to match your style of video content, and Sony have loads for every situation. If that adds up to too much money then look at the Sony ZV-1 camera- which is the step below but still an awesome bit of kit (fixed lens).

I have made an fast and a good desicion when I bought this device.
