  No Built-in Viewfinder, No External Viewfinder Option, Low Battery Life: 440 shots, No Environmental Sealing

Sony's ZV-E10 camera appeals to vloggers with a quality mic and support for swappable lenses, but is held back by a weak battery and a so-so touch interface.

  Excellent 4K video at 24 or 30fps, Best-in-class autofocus, Bright, front-facing LCD, Clear in-camera microphone, Supports add-on mic and headphone monitoring, Works as a USB webcam

  Battery drains quickly, Digital stabilization adds crop to video, Limited touch controls, In-camera charging slow for on-the-go use, Slow-motion limited to 1080p, No 4K60 recording

The Sony ZV-E10 is unadventurous in many respects, even a little limited. Sony doesn’t seem to have moved on its APS-C 4K video tech very far at all in the past couple of years, and its 4K 30p capture is now the norm.

Last year’s Sony Alpha ZV-1 was a great little camera that is designed for content creators who loves to do vlogs and take some shots on the side. Sony has now launched another video-centric ZV series based on the Alpha APS-C mirrorless camera.

The ZV-E10 APS-C camera debuts to deliver high quality video and audio performance, vlog-optimized functions, and versatile connectivity. Also from Sony—a first-ever Vlog Challenge Contest.

A great value mirrorless camera made with vloggers in mind – and a solid stills option, too

  Bad 4K rolling shutter, No in-body image stabilisation, No touch display

The Sony ZV-E10 is a logical gap-filler in Sony’s lineup. A vlogging-focused camera with an articulating screen, boosted microphones, and a compact body, it’s a powerful little video tool and takes impressive photos.

  Rolling shutter while panning, No 4K/60p video mode, Menu system isn’t touch-optimized, No viewfinder

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.

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!

Firstly, I have had a Sony camera before, and I like that I'm familiar with the interface and technology of this camera. Even with the new and improved technology, the operation is ideally suited to Vlogging, ie background defocus, clear voice recording, regardless of the weather, which is certainly...

The camera is tiny and can easily hold with one hand without getting tired.The features and set-up are perfect for vlogging and the zooming system is brilliant.It can be put into a small bag and bring around with you when you go out as it's small and light-weighted.

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...

The above phrase is emblazoned on the box it came in, and this camera makes it so easy to do. Firstly this is a nice compact size with the usual excellent Sony build quality. The grip is big enough and it is comfortable and easy to hold securely.

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.

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).
