Should you buy the Sony ZV-E10 or the A6400 

Forgot the #1 benefit, zv-e10 has USB-C. Sony has no excuse for not including usb-c on the a6400 other than they had not emptied their truckloads of usb micro's that they bought in bulk with the non-touch screens they've been using since forever. I enjoyed this review, subscribed and ordered a zv-e10. Sony, next time send this guy a camera! Oh wait, were the ones who got the camera forced to say 'vlogging camera'? Seems to me they all had the same script? Could be a conspiracy? In fact even he had that script?

This guy reviews the camera better than anyone I've ever seen on RU-vid. I couldn't believe you've only 25+ subscribers.

Great video this helped me decide on what camera to get. I had already done a little research on both cameras but this was the best one I've seen on youtube.

Thanks for a great review. The built in flash was a deal breaker for me so I went for the 6400. It's a great real world camera and I am extremely happy with the way it handles and the results it gives.

I’m new to you’re channel and just wanted to tell you how much of a great help you’ve been in my photography journey. Because of you I decided to buy a ZV-E10 and the sigma 16mm and 56mm f1.4 lenses and so far the image results have been amazing.

ive watched so many videos and this is the first time i heard of the catalyst browse. thank you! stabilization is major for me

Nice review/ You get to the point and don't overcomplicate things. Thank you!

This is the review I've been waiting for. A big picture look that doesn't diss the camera for its rolling shutter and lack of IBIS-- those don't matter when recording from home, which many people are doing given the whole situation. Thanks so much for this!

Great video and in-depth analysis! I found it very helpful! Thanks!

Best overview of the zv e10 on RU-vid, thanks Mark! Your video was great, Subscribed🤝 Enjoy that apple juice. Would you recommend the zv e10 for shooting workout videos in a controlled lighting set up indoors?

I'm in the market for a new camera and I've watch almost all of your videos on the ZV-E10! Great content! Thank you so much! For me personally, I don't mind the catalyst browse workflow and I'm more of a video guy too so not having eye-tracking auto-focus in video is a deal breaker for me.

My exact thoughts, I'm looking at a b-cam for my a7iii for interviews which I think it will be fine and price is great! Nice video!

Thanks for making this video! I’ve been back and forth about what camera to buy after using my iPhone all this time. I’m trying to take my RU-vid channel to the next level and I’m excited to go with the zv e10, I’m hoping the colors on my furniture flips show as close to real life as possible 🤞what lighting do you recommend? I currently film in the garage with door open

Great video mate. I went with the zve10 and can't wait to receive it to start shooting great videos.

Aaah thank you so much for this! Watched so many reviews / comparisons but this is one’s really really helpful! So tempted to get the zv-e10 over the a6400 now after hearing all the new features! But i really want the functions to be hybrid, so i’m still torn. 🤣

Dude! Thank you! Best comparison I've seen and as mostly video person this settles it for me!

I’m digging your channel and really likes this video! I’m waiting for my zv-e10 to come in the mail and since you mentioned using a matte box with it, so you have any filter recommendations that work best with this camera? Thanks again!

Thanks for mentioning that stabilizer software, great and different. 👏👍

Just the content I’ve been looking for: “Canadian funny guy telling it straight on cameras”. Cheers!

thanks for helping me leanr more about which camera to choose!!! this wasa a great review !

Hey mark! Great job on the video and you have good camera personality. Picking my ZV-e10 today after work! So excited.

Thanks for this comparaison very clear !

This was super helpful - thank you!

Been looking at the Zv-E10 to get better quality on my RU-vid channel, this has been the best review I have seen, Useful information to make a decision- Got my Sub

Thanks for the comparison. Thoroughly enjoyed all the details and the humor too. New sub.

Great review! Thanks for your honesty and knowledge!!

This is a good video too as your previous ones. Waiting for its launch in India. If anyone have info about the launch date in India, please share. Would love to see the actual settings menu differences between a6400 and zv-e10, mainly in photography perspective. As always good and informative video 👍🏻

It's a tough decision. As an a6400 user, I've always been jealous of the new cameras that have gyroscopes. So I decided to switch the moment I saw the ZV-E10 has it. But now that you mentioned the build quality, I don't know if I should anymore.

Hm, super interesting. Had no clue about the ZV-E10! I'm mainly looking to upgrade my facecam setup for my youtube videos, but I'd also like something I can take some good pictures with. Looking at potentially getting into some real-estate photography/marketing stuff and I'd like to use the same camera as my YT setup. I don't know much about cameras though, so which lens would I want to go for if I was mainly looking at shooting facecam footage for youtube videos? Like should I still get the "Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens" or is that not compatible? Great video and I appreciate the help!

Another great detail video. Thanks 😊 for your work.

two vids in and u got me hooked!!! Tnx for the nice and to the point vids!!! =)

Your funny way of explaining is very good and your plain English is easily understandable by global audience. 👍

I have an a6400 and A7III, which I could swap them for a ZV-E10 and A7C. I've found Catalyst Browse to be so good once you nail a workflow down I just always take my ZV-1 and leave my A73 and Zhiyun Weebil-S at home. You just have to be mindful of keeping the shutter speed at a minimum of 1/200 or so to avoid warped footage.

Hi Mark. I’ve been going through your videos to help me decide on my new camera. Just about to buy the A6400 kit for just a little more than the ZV E10. This is my first serious camera as I’ve just had point and shoot. A6400 just looks more solid and I’ll need an EVF to take photos. What program do you use to edit? Do you shoot in slow mo or slow the shot down in edit? Proper newbie to all this..

Perfect review. Exactly what I needed to hear.

I’m so indecisive when it comes to finding a new camera. Maybe you can help! I’m going to VidCon this summer and want a camera to vlog with. But I also would use the camera as a facecam for my videos and to just film in general. I also like more cinematic video, not sure if that makes one camera stand out more than another. I’m stuck between the zv e10, zv1, and the G7x. For what I’m wanting to do, what do you think is best? And what would be a close second?

Regarding the gimbal ... I have a lightweight Sony a5100, which is lighter than the ZV-E10. When I put my blogging lens of choice (Sony 10-18) on it, it's too front heavy for the Crane M2. There has to be a good balance between the weight of the camera and the weight of the lens. So, the ZV-E10 might work or it might not. I can't say since I don't have it, but it's not a given just because it's light. I also have an a6500 and an RX100 Mark V. The only camera that balances nicely on the Crane M2 is the RX100 (which it seems to have been designed for). I imagine the ZV-1 will work with it, too. Also, the 10-18 is not a power zoom so the zoom lever on the ZV-E10 won't work except for the in-camera zoom feature.

this is a Good video. I am going to see where I could buy this Camera. Thanks man.

I appreciate your pov. I ordered a ZVE10. Thanks.

I brought the a6400 in March and my brother brought the ZV-e10 about 2 months ago... I love stills more than video (now)... so I’m glad I brought my a6400... I forgot the ZV-e10 didn’t have a EVF. I have my DJI Osmo Pocket (original) and my GoPro 10 for video, but hardly, if ever, use them now, and they produce amazing videos.

Excellent helpful comparison. Thanks! Another comparison with ZV-E10 vs ZV-1 would be awesome..

Plus the button to create depth of field is good too, right?

Subscribed! I hope Sony sees your video. To blur the background, do I have to use that "background blur button" or can I manually adjust the aputure, f stop, shutter speed, etc myself?

I’m getting into real estate but I also travel a lot, play the piano, sing, hike and currently learning how to play classical guitar. Which Of these two would you recommend for videos out in nature, traveling, real estate shots and music videos performing (singing, piano)? Thank you kind sir and great content

Great video Mark. I've been trying to decide between these two for a while. QUESTION - I'm planning to do a lot of videos whilst walking in mountains and hiking .....would you still recommend one of these two or something else in the price range? Thanks again 🙂

Wow you should be a Sony Ambassador. I’m now sold on the ZVbra camera. BTW I have the Crane M2 and I’ve used A73 on it. Very funny your videos. Entertaining and educational!! Thank you 🙏

Very good presentation, keep up going your good work 😀

Hey Mark, Really appreciate this review as I'm in the market for a new camera. Also really good you pointed out the rolling shutter correction. Any info on availability of an external viewfinder for the ZV-E10?

Playing with my zv-e10 in manual and was surprised that the ISO goes down to ISO50. My a6400 will not do that. I'm really enjoying this little camera and find myself wondering why I still lug my a6400 around? Guess I really enjoy all the hate against this little camera because it's not the a7xxx which should have been out years ago.

Thanks for a good review!

Mark, I love your comparisons. Very clear and helps the viewer decide well. Quick question: Will the ZV-E10 overheat if I were to record a speech? I am wondering if it will work without overheating for capturing a 40 to 50 mins seminar or conference / event. Please help. Thank you so much.

Can I said I want the zv-e10 in A6400 body. I love everything about ZV-E10 except no weather seal.

Thanks for sharing, I wanna get a Sony camera and I’m confused, this video just help me decide

Best review I have seen so far, funny and entertaining I bought the ZV E10 yesterday and now I am really looking forward to receiving it!

Thanks enjoyable video to watch I have a GoPro 11 starting out vlogging would like a quality second video camera tempted by the ZVE10 helpful informative video

Thanks for such a great rundown! Honestly originally I wanted an a6100 but I realised it didn't have a few of the features I needed so I decided on the a6400. And so when the ZV-E10 came out I was a little confused if it was a better deal or not (since it is about $200 cheaper where I'm from). As much as I'd love to shell out the extra bucks for EVF and the weather sealing (especially that!), I just can't ignore all the upgrades in the ZV-E10. So I'm thinking of picking that one up 😁

Good stuff. Just bought the Tamron 11-20. Now awaiting the ZV-E10 drop. Perfect vlogging set up here I come. Now I just have to start vlogging. Either way, I see good things for this channel.

For photography, is it much different for sony a6000 and sony a6400?

thanks, great explanation

I really liked how you cpmpare thank you

Excellent explanation. ❤

Nice video, is it possible to use some canon EF lens with E10 or would that ruin the auto focus?

Thank you Mark! Question: Im planning to use one of this in a big drone. I can extract gyro data from the drone, theoretically I could use that data in catalyst browse (or Gyroflow) right? I like the all weather aspect of a6400 but the gyroscope of the zv e10.... your opinion very much appreciated!!!

Interesting video Mark just what I was looking for. Do you think it will be better to wait for an actual a6000 successor with both features of the a6400 and ZV-E10 combined? I was hoping if Sony could release a hybrid of this 2 with the addition of 4K 120p / 60p with minimal or no sensor crop and finally a newer faster sensor & processing that eliminates rolling shutter. If it happens, the Camera will be the one I'm looking for! What do you think, too high of an expectation? It has been awhile since we've seen a new A6000 series introduced, so I hope there's a new model that's about to be introduced this year.

great vid, thanks bro

Hi Mark! First of all...you're content are very great. I'm looking for my first camera (i'm begginer, people say that zv e10 would be better for begginer but that's not a problem for me, this camera will be a long term purchase) and i ended up on this two camera. My main target is filmaking/videos but also i want to learn to take good photos, so i'm struggling hard in this choice for these poits: 1- EFV, it can helps me more to become a better photoghrapher i guess 2-Better build quality and weathering sealing, i will take videos/photos in different condition like snow and rain (althought i will protect the camera) These two points are leading me to the a6400 BUT...the zv e10 has eyes AF, does it make a big difference from the face detection? Sorry for the long text~ Hope you can help me out from this infinit circle XD

your video made me take the decision in favor of the ZV E-10. thank you for your input.

Great video, I have a question. I got the A6400 but I'm looking for something a little smaller while on vacation cruising with carnival. Which would you suggest zv-e10 or the zv-1? Another option I thought about was just get a gimbal for the A6400.

What camera are you using to shoot this video? Looks so nice!

the thing with the defocus button is that you can do it mid-recording by pushing a button and switch it off in the same manner

i like ur video ! thx really helpful !

Just love your video! new sub!

Ive bought the ZV E10 and the Sigma 16mm two days ago! :) Thank you for the review and: Youre videos are looking awesome! Youve got about 2600 subscribers, but youre videos look like youve got 1 million subscribers!

Thanks for the great video~!

Agreed. ZV-E10 is good for a back up camera and video shooting.

Great vid!

This truly was an awsome comaprison thanks a lot! ^_^

Nice review! Do you think the skin color and color saturation was rich? Accurate? I saw one review and the color saturation was not so great.

Purchased the ZV-e10 while watching this video. Thanks!

So true everyman/woman/grandma/RU-vidr complaining about jello/cropping et al! Thanks for a great review.

I use the A7c with the Sigma 30mm as the main camera on my channel. My secondary angle is shot using a6400 with the Sigma 56 mm (I love this lens! 😍) feel free to check out.

Hello there! I just started filmmaking studies and I’m looking for the perfect camera to start my projects. Do you thing the ZV-E10 could work for me? Or do you know any other camera that could be useful? Thank you very much, nice video!!💫

Nice video thanks for sharing

Bro you made me laugh when you opened up and closed with your pint of "apple juice" haha. Solid comparison and really informative as always!

Hello mark ! I am looking for my first camera and very confused between a6400 and zv e10. I am not going to vlog with any of those, so the vlogging features doesn't really matter to me. I am really thinking about the build quality of the zv e10 as compared to a6400, and should I pay extra 20k for the build quality ? Can I keep zv e10 as the only camera I possess or is it not good enough to handle all the different lenses, in terms of the body and build ?

First off: Great content man. I don't know much about photography, but I'm finding myself binging your vids. Looking to get my first real camera (other than my osmo pocket and phone cam). I am intrigued by the price and the fun features of the ZV-E10. My photographer mate tells me to get the old A7 ii instead for that full frame goodness at the same price. "You can't take good pictures with that cropped sensor. If you wanna take photos, def go for the a7 ii instead" What's your take? I do want to be able to take some great photos, and I would also like the ability to record some videos.

You didn’t talk about the shutter wobble, if that is what it’s called. Does that get fixed with the Sony post shoot software you mentioned?

I will puy zv- e 10 . In dditting which app is better for those who using sony and new vlpggers?

Good question Mark! But no, I won't be buying both haha... 😂 Since I don't have any E-mount lenses to begin with. I always look for any feature that will help me be efficient when I'm filming as well as features that I really like in a camera and the example would be a 4K60p. Can't really buy a new one without it anymore. What I really like about Sony cameras now a days is the amazing autofocus. If only Panasonic can do that, then I don't think I'm going to buy any other brand, but it's not set in stone though and definitely I'm not closing my door. Haha...

Thanks for this info!! Great channel!! New here!! Stay safe and blessed 💕👍

Perhaps the background defocus is an advantage with speed of implementation? Also the disadvantages of VF and weather sealing are pretty large. Shame really. Can you add a viewfinder to the hot-shoe or something?

thx for sharing 👌

I have a gimbal that works with the 6400, but now I’m much more interested in ZV-E10. Great review. Btw, you didn’t mention the touch screen?

Only Faruk of iPhonedo demonstrated Catalyst Browse on the new Sony ZV E10. I’m still wondering if the program can completely eliminate the rolling shutter.

Great comparison. Left out one huge advantage, the bigger battery🎉

Hi mark…Which one do you think will be better to shoot makeup tutorials with the kit lens ..canon m50 or zve10 ? Pleasee help me solve this dilemma🙏🏼

Fantastic video. Liked & Subscribed!

Thanks for this video. Help me out Mark! I want a camera to film content, but also take a vacation with a good lense for pictures what would you choose?

Great video!! I was to buy a used a6400 mainly for video, now I don't know. Been using a go pro filming surfing on beach and in ocean, some home vlogging videos, doing tests and shooting some music videos. The 6400 feels more robust if filming a lot outside, filming surfing from the beach etc. but the ZV-E10 has more nice video features. What do you recommend for my purposes? Brg!!

Thanks for that detailed review of the ZV-E10. I was wondering if the autofocus is as fast and reliable as on the a6400? ZV-E10 uses "Eye detection" and a6400 "Double something..." Which one is better when it comes to autofocusing faces and low light situations? I spend three days now intensively searching for information between this two cameras but no one mentioned the differences between this two cameras when it comes to low light situations and autofocusing performance! Would be nice if you could help me out here
