As someone who literally purchased the ZV-E10 yesterday for upgrading to a more legit video podcasting setup (on your previous recommendation), this was incredibly validating to see today (stressed a lot over the decision😅). Also just want to say, your guides and information are a game-changing resource, Tom, and so incredibly appreciated. I use your videos as research so often, and binge them before making purchases. Thanks so much for everything!
And I am one who hesitated during amazon prime days 😆 (zv-e10 v.s. zv-e10ii doubts in my mind) with this video I will go for mark 1 for my use case - so many thanks for the time you invested in this video! @tombuck
@@zachstewart9680 I still love and use my e10 it's one of those cameras I don't want to get rid of I'll always keep it around for something The upgrade path from the e10 is the e1. And when I made that jump I've been extremely happy with both.
Another “banger” video about an awesome camera. In tremendous irony, you’re one of my absolute favorite creators and I made a similar video a few months ago about the ZV-E10 (with a super similar thumbnail too). Can’t wait for the next one!
Gene making appearance in the video! I absolutely love Bob’s Burgers! I’ve been so looking forward to this video ever since you mentioned it in your original advice and I can see why! This camera would definitely be my goal for sure. Thanks for talking more in death about it it really helps people like me who are just starting with a camera or want to be I should say!
Yes! I'm so glad you could see what I was talking about here. Such ha great camera. And Bob's is one of my all time favorites. I've been working through a rewatch of the entire series, but I now made it to the most recent season and am purposely going slow because I don't want to finish the show 😅
@@tombuck Definitely! I’ll probably have to do everything in stages because the computer itself is going to have to come first, but this is definitely the ultimate goal now for sure! Especially for only 1200 by the time you had the cost of the Elgato, camlink. Such a great price for everything the camera can do! I just did the same thing with the show earlier this year. It never gets old! It’s so funny and it’s also so rewatchable, which a lot of shows you can’t say about these days. The new season has been great so far! The Drive in episode from last week was so much fun!
Another hit Tom! I am considering a ZV-E10 to replace my A6100 as my primary camera so my 6100 can move to my second camera. I’ll be sure to use your links when I make the move, I’m doing my first studio refresh in 4 yrs and your videos are so helpful
I’ve had the ZV-E10 for a little more than two years. I agree with a lot of your points. It certainly has a use, and so like all cameras/camcorders, it all comes down to your use case.
Glad that it's still going strong after so long! It seems like camera lifespans have really increased. My main cameras are now over 4 years old, which used to mean they're ancient, but I have no plans to upgrade any time soon. It's so nice.
Great Video Tom! Can't agree more! I get all kinds of comments on my video quality for my channel, socia media commercials, video production for interviews and documentaries, etc. all I use is two ZV-E10's, one with a sigma 16mm, and the other with a sigma 30mm. I even used it to shoot a video promo I did for Earthworks. They loved it. I have no desire to upgrade even though I share the same gripes. I will say when I use my ZV-E10 for streaming as a webcam, it still is far superior an image quality than any of my 4K $300-$500 4K webcams, I saved so much money on these cameras so I could put my money into lighting. Way more important for leveling up your videography.
Hi Tom, your studio setup is impressive. You mentioned wanting a Sony ZV-E10 if budget allows. I'm curious: 1) How would you integrate it into your workflow? 2) Would you consider making a video on recommended crop sensor lenses for it?
1. If I had my own ZV-E10 I would make it my "desk camera" and mainly keep it mounted with the Elgato prompter for any streams, video calls, or videos I want to film at my desk. I'm currently swapping my a7IV in and out for that and it'd be great to set it and forget it. I also used it as an overhead camera A LOT in the time I borrowed it and that was super helpful. A small camera with good lenses is very helpful for top down shots. 2. I don't currently own any crop sensor cameras, but I do have a lens guide video that should be pretty universally applicable: ruclips.net/video/1GO2HTaMahc/видео.html
Ive been recommending the sigma 16mm to people since the a6300 days. For years i had clients setting up talking heads with the a6400/a6600 and that 16mm. Been a game changer since it was released. The true OG 30mm was also a mind blowing value at release from Sigma.
Absolutely they are the best for studio production with OBS via HDMI 4K as a 4K sensor. I got two and the cost is right. I am using everything in manual and with 7Artisans Cine Vision Lenses. Beyond perfect. I got dummy batteries, and micro HDMI to full HDMI fixed adapter. It can go on 24/7 without any issues. The color is perfect in real time. You just need to know how to fine-tune everything. My video production quality has risen in order of magnitude with the Shure MV7X XLR and my Zoom F3 Field Recorder and the Viltrox DC-X2 camera monitor. I have never used the internal memory, don't need one.
Gaaaahh!!! I did not know about the "Auto Power OFF Temp." setting! Thank you!!! That is my number one hugest complaint about the ZV-E10: Temperature. (95% of the unprintable words on my audio recorder are presaged by the auto-power-off double-beep from the camera.)
Great vid, Tom - and apros since my main livestream camera (a ten year old RX10) just went south last week and I had to replace it. Ended up replacing it with a used 1st Gen ZV-E10 that came with the kit lens. I'm now using that with the Sigma 16mm f1.4 (which I also got used for a song). So far, so good - and I'm enjoying the greater ease of use - meaning that with the RX-10, and the a6000 that's flying overhead, I always have to go into the menu system on startup to get out of the payback menu (evidently, whenever you plug either into an HDMI output - like to the ATEM Mini, it goes to the playback menu - very irritating). But I gotta say that the kit lens is perfectly serviceable as a primary lens - depending on the look someone wants. I keep the kit lens on the flying a6000 and it's been a champ.
Thanks for this topic Tom! I’ve had the zv-1 and then the zv-e10 later on. I still am in love with both. The zv-1 I use for zoom/livestreams and the zv-e10 if I need another angle during zooms or livestream but I bring it with me everywhere for photography and some videos. 🩵
Great video, Tom. I can honestly say from using a variety of cameras these last few years, my ZV-E10 is still my favorite when it comes to creation. It's the most reliable when it comes to autofocus, it has the best lens options available, having comfort features like a headphone jack for monitoring audio/unlimited power with a USB-C charger, and even Active SteadyShot with it's crop as a decent digital stabilizer keep it at the top of my gear rotation. Are there things I'd love to upgrade to for better colors in body, IBIS, better menus, and perhaps an EVF as I start shooting photos more? Sure, but the law of diminishing returns (and my wallet) are both more than content sticking with the original ZV-E10 for more years to come.
@8:57 Yes, the FX3 has 10 bit color UNLESS you're using (for example) the RodesCaster Video as your switcher as part of your recording video signal chain. The RodeCaster Video outputs in 8 bit color. If you're live streaming this shouldn't be an issue. If you're recording 'in-camera,' no problem. 8 bit color only becomes an issue in post production (color correction). Just a thought.
Great breakdown! I really need to do this with the ZV-E10 II……I got the ZV-E10 II just to make more budget videos on camera gear and it surprised me and the overheating is overhyped. It’s an awesome top down camera that matches my a7siii very well
Danke! Thank you, Tom! This was a very good video showing starters a decent option. I have the ZV-E10 in use since it was released. It's great value for money. Of cause I'd appreciate the new menu on the MK2 and even more the better battery. But like you, I'd still recommend the ZV-E10 for starters. Of course, you can have higher quality options, like you do. My main camera now is ZV-E1 with a couple of nice lenses in addition to the kit lense. Btw. I got all lenses used including the kit lense.
Heather recently got the E1 and it's fantastic! I'm so impressed. It's basically my FX3 in a smaller body. She did have a couple of instances of overheating, but now it seems like as long as the screen is open it's fine (we have the little Ulanzi calling fan too, just in case).
LoL Those air quotes at the beginning of this episode is what did it for me. I'm still laughing 😅 No, I didn't sell my DSLRs. I worked so hard to afford them, and didn't have the heart to just let it go for pennies on the dollar... 😢 Nikon D3x Nikon D810 Were years of hard work. I'm going to be buried with those two. 😅 Yeah, I don't care about my Canon cameras, not even about the Panasonic and Sony ones that I have... 😂😂😂 But, yeah, funny and sad.. C'est la vie..
Yep, I'm the same when it comes to keeping cameras. I could sell my older cameras for a couple hundred dollars maybe? Or I could keep them, find fun ways to use them, and have all the good memories too. I'd hate not to have the camera that filmed our wedding!
@@tombuck It's the memories attached with objects that khills me. 😞 I have a cluttered house. But, in a way, it's a good thing. A month before my dad died in August, he asked me about all the watches he's ever gifted me on my birthday. I just smiled and showed him the briefcase that holds them. For context, we were poor while growing up, he would gift me a cheap watch, or the one that he was wearing. Not that we're super rich now, but, now, I don't have to worry about bills, 24/7. He knew that I am going through a bit of a hardship. He was told that I had sold everything that was of value. When he saw that I still have everything that he'd ever given me, including the t-shirts and other promotional crap from the 7/11 he used to run... he just smiled and walked away. We were never that close. I just respected him enough. Same way, like your wedding cameras, I cannot sell or throw away anything that has made me, me. LoL still have my Hanimex 110, that my Mom bought for me, back in 1980s... I have more pictures of Swansea, than the Mayor of that town back then. Long stories short, yep, I get you.
I’ve had a zve10 with the. Sigma 16mm for a coulle of years now. I do get overheating issues with it in my studio. I have a room fan on the lowest setting pointing at it and this has solved the problem when on long conference calls, the camera hdmi oupit would otherwise turn off. Messed with all the settings and its always been an issue. The 10bit colour of the mk2 is interesting for sure! I wish Sony made an affordable webcam esk camera like this but paired down and simplified without the recording or photo features, just hdmi out. Its consider a blackmagic camera but autofocus is required when working with such small focus deapths.
Ok you are clearly making content specifically for me now so I’ll just ask my question 😂 I told you a week ago I bought the Rodecaster video, well sir I have the Sony a74 and 2 zv e10’s please help me because I don’t know if I need to put it in 4k even though the rodecaster video is only 1080p and also I’m struggling with making the images on the zv e10’s look like the footage of my a7Iv. I want to use the auto switching with voice but not be able to tell that it’s different cameras. Now Mr Buck I’m waiting for the answer 😂 thank you for the content!
Haha, I'm happy to be your personal content creator 😅 For the RCV, the cameras themselves can stay in 4K, so it's only the HDMI output settings you might need to change. It can stay in "auto" or you can switch it to 4K. As for camera colors, sadly the RCV doesn't currently let you adjust input colors (hopefully they'll add that)! So for now, in your camera settings there should be a color/ton option (but it might be in the white balance menu too) where you can adjust the green/magenta shift. You can also go into the "creative look" settings and tinker with the brightness/saturation/etc for picture profiles. Once you have one ZV-E10 matching the a7IV, then you can just use those same settings on the other 👍
@@tombuck thank you sir! I do have another question if you have time. For the podcast camera setup do you still recommend those sigma lenses? Going to grab a couple if you think so. I just wasn’t sure how far or how close the cameras have to be to us. I’m just a barber that had to learn a little videography for my RUclips channel so I’m every bit of an amateur 😂 sorry if these are dumb questions.
Especially now with second hand prices being super low it's very compelling. I made the mistake of buying a Fuji (X-T3), while the video quality is phenomenal, even better than the ZV-E10 (10bit 60fps), it's unfortunately let down with the unreliable autofocus and a record limit, making it unusable.
Do you know if there are any newer models coming down the line. I have the old Z1 and never got the ZVE10. Dont want to buy now if something else coming down the line soon
..and because of the MK2, now on ebay good deals can be found on the original ZV-E10.. Lately great dealsappear on ebay, because of release of newer versions of products, like Rode, etc., as well.. ..is a neat camera !
The a7III is great but definitely a bit long in the tooth, especially compared to the FX3 which has better bitrates, color depth, autofocus, audio, battery life, stabilization, no overheating, etc. (But an a7III in good shape at a good price is still awesome)
There's a clear difference is aspect ratio, if that's the correct phrase, between the FX-3 and the EV-10 that you're showing on the video. I mean your head is taller and narrower with the FX-3 and shorter and wider with the EV-10. Is that a cropping issue? EDIT: the EV-10 aspect ratio seems to match that of the A7S3 that you show.
Aspect ratio is the size of the video frame, so this sounds more like you’re describing the appearance of lens compression. Even at roughly equal focal lengths, there are still differences between full frame and crop sensors, so it makes sense that the crop ZV-E10 might look a little more similar to the a7SIII with a tighter lens on it. It’s so interesting how all that stuff works!
One thing that no one mentions about this camera is how noisy the zoom is 😯 Its horrendous, Also I was not very impressed with the video quality either. I know I was using the kit lens but MANY reviews said it was a decent lens. I have a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 that runs rings around this and even my DJI action camera has way better image quality. This is going back for a refund
The zoom is a function of the lens and not the camera. As I say in the video, the kit lens IS decent, but it's definitely not the best lens out there. It's a good one to get started and learn more with though! But at the end of the day, if something isn't a good fit for you, then it's definitely worth returning and getting something that is.
omg. 🥲 I was looking for a new body for my little Bluebird, This is the one of my options. He's still in his Sony projector camcorder body, Looking cute as always. 🥲📹

Ok you are clearly making content specifically for me now so I’ll just ask my question 😂 I told you a week ago I bought the Rodecaster video, well sir I have the Sony a74 and 2 zv e10’s please help me because I don’t know if I need to put it in 4k even though the rodecaster video is only 1080p and also I’m struggling with making the images on the zv e10’s look like the footage of my a7Iv.
I want to use the auto switching with voice but not be able to tell that it’s different cameras. Now Mr Buck I’m waiting for the answer 😂 thank you for the content!
Haha, I'm happy to be your personal content creator 😅
For the RCV, the cameras themselves can stay in 4K, so it's only the HDMI output settings you might need to change. It can stay in "auto" or you can switch it to 4K.
As for camera colors, sadly the RCV doesn't currently let you adjust input colors (hopefully they'll add that)! So for now, in your camera settings there should be a color/ton option (but it might be in the white balance menu too) where you can adjust the green/magenta shift. You can also go into the "creative look" settings and tinker with the brightness/saturation/etc for picture profiles. Once you have one ZV-E10 matching the a7IV, then you can just use those same settings on the other 👍
@@tombuck thank you sir! I do have another question if you have time. For the podcast camera setup do you still recommend those sigma lenses? Going to grab a couple if you think so. I just wasn’t sure how far or how close the cameras have to be to us. I’m just a barber that had to learn a little videography for my RUclips channel so I’m every bit of an amateur 😂 sorry if these are dumb questions.
Especially now with second hand prices being super low it's very compelling. I made the mistake of buying a Fuji (X-T3), while the video quality is phenomenal, even better than the ZV-E10 (10bit 60fps), it's unfortunately let down with the unreliable autofocus and a record limit, making it unusable.
Do you know if there are any newer models coming down the line. I have the old Z1 and never got the ZVE10. Dont want to buy now if something else coming down the line soon
I messed up long ago and got the canon mark 2 m6. Should have went down the sony route. My canon has been discontinued. Smh
..and because of the MK2, now on ebay good deals can be found on the original ZV-E10.. Lately great dealsappear on ebay, because of release of newer versions of products, like Rode, etc., as well.. ..is a neat camera !
Oh that's true! The used market is probably great right now.
And photography tbh.
I’m curious how the FX compares to the alpha a7 III because it is a full frame also. But significantly less than the Fx.
The a7III is great but definitely a bit long in the tooth, especially compared to the FX3 which has better bitrates, color depth, autofocus, audio, battery life, stabilization, no overheating, etc.
(But an a7III in good shape at a good price is still awesome)
There's a clear difference is aspect ratio, if that's the correct phrase, between the FX-3 and the EV-10 that you're showing on the video.
I mean your head is taller and narrower with the FX-3 and shorter and wider with the EV-10.
Is that a cropping issue?
EDIT: the EV-10 aspect ratio seems to match that of the A7S3 that you show.
Aspect ratio is the size of the video frame, so this sounds more like you’re describing the appearance of lens compression. Even at roughly equal focal lengths, there are still differences between full frame and crop sensors, so it makes sense that the crop ZV-E10 might look a little more similar to the a7SIII with a tighter lens on it. It’s so interesting how all that stuff works!
@@tombuck Thank you!
One thing that no one mentions about this camera is how noisy the zoom is 😯 Its horrendous, Also I was not very impressed with the video quality either. I know I was using the kit lens but MANY reviews said it was a decent lens. I have a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 that runs rings around this and even my DJI action camera has way better image quality. This is going back for a refund
The zoom is a function of the lens and not the camera. As I say in the video, the kit lens IS decent, but it's definitely not the best lens out there. It's a good one to get started and learn more with though!
But at the end of the day, if something isn't a good fit for you, then it's definitely worth returning and getting something that is.
@@tombuck Yeah I agree. I had a Sony RX100 MK3 before I got this one and that was in a different league for the image quality alone
Your face looks airbrushed af on zv e10. Pass
omg. 🥲
I was looking for a new body for my little Bluebird, This is the one of my options.
He's still in his Sony projector camcorder body, Looking cute as always. 🥲📹
Mine has officially moved up on the priority list of videos to make 😁
@@tombuck I and Bluebird are still hyped for that. 😊📹
