Ok here we go... A6700 has gotta take this race surely.

Mark... this is why you are my favorite content creator for all things cameras. After the mark 2 came out I was just thinking... "Now, if someone would just make a video comparing the new Mark 2 with the a6700 it would be perfect." 😏

Your reviews are actually my favorite! Straight to the point, direct points of pros and cons and fun commentary overall! so good man

Always waiting for your comparison videos. Thank you for this Mark! Great video!

Hi Mark, you just keeping me advising the new camera’s and options for my vlogs! Many thanks!!!

Thanks for keeping us up to date as always 🫡

Congrats on 70k! Your content is so useful for making buying decisions.

absolutely loved the details listed for both camera , I was looking for such detailed video between A6700 and ZV E10II

That was a very detailed comparison. After seeing some other RU-vidrs review the new ZV-E10, I sort of already knew that the A6700 is more what I’m looking for. And this video made that even more obvious. Thank you for summarizing the differences between the cameras in such a detailed manner.

the video I've been waiting for!!

The review i have been waiting for . Thanks, Mark . Excellent video ..

That was fast :o Keep the ZV-E10 II x ZV-E10 x A6700 videos comin'!

You read my mind with this video. Was literally just thinking about which was the better cam and lo and behold which video is sitting on my homepage when I opened youtube... many thanks as always.

Excellent breakdown/ comparison Mark!

I disagree the thoughts at the end where you said $400 can be too much for someone when thinking of a6700 as an option. Going with either the cameras, if you add the cost of 2-3 lenses and accessories, this $400 no longer looks like a big cost. This is just Sony trying to upsell. Their most selling camera was E10, so they didn't want to replace it, instead they brought a new option at a price in between it and a6700 so that they can keep selling E10. And if some competitor brings something that threatens E10 sales, they will retire it and reduce the price of E10 ii. Plus, this will upsell some of E10 folks all the way upto a6700. A win-win for Sony no matter which you choose. Nothing wrong with it, just mentioning the product strategy here. In my opinion if this was at E10 price, it would have been fantastic no brainer option, and an instant buy. But at the current price, it is a pass. This was supposed to be a low cost camera, that was its main selling point. Once that is gone, it doesn't make much sense for its intended vlogging purpose without IBIS. It can be a great studio-camera, that's about it, but E10 can do the same anyway.

The exact comparison everyone considering the ZV-E10II is looking for! Bravo!!

Mark, I appreciate you making this. 👊🏻

Excellent as usual... A6700 all the way, but might buy the ZV10-II for my wife...

Great video. I think I will be sticking with my A6700 for sure. I could still tell a difference in the clips. Thank you for the video!

Best Sony camera reviewer! Always very detailed, informative and honest. Nicely done!

This is the content I’ve been waiting for.

Great video! Would love to see a comparative between the OG ZV-E10 and the Mark II

I always love your videos!!!

Wow thank you so much for this awesome review, that 12% vs 33% active crop really made my decision easy for this one!

I did a pre-order! Looking for a lighter version setup compared to my zve1 with full frame lenses. I always use CB too but wish they added ibis!

Great content Mark, thank you. Im coming from the ZVe10 and looking to upgrade, the A6700 has been on my radar for a while, I don't mind the extra bucks cause I do think its worth it myself. Thanks for the in depth review!

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it. We're having an event next weekend at my store, and all the major vendors will be sending Reps (Revelations?) so hopefully I will be getting some hands-on time with this new unit. It is compellingly priced as a C-cam for those of us that already have the FX30 and A6700.

One of my favorite camera/gear channels. ❤

This is the video I was looking for, what a timing.

Great review mate

amazing review and comparison!

good video as always

Damn you are quick :D I'm in the a6700 camp. If someone is slightly interested in photography, the EVF and the mechanical shutter is more then just a bonus. And for video the pro list is so damn long as listed literally in this video. Paying 40% more sounds very high, but this is one of the rare cases where I would say paying the 40% brings you more then 40% value - as long photography is an interest. Great job Mark! Curious which kind of comparison you will pump out next :D How about Sony ZVE10 II vs. Lumix S9? 🤔

Great Video. Thanks for the reviews. I still want the A6700, but the mark ii is making a compelling argument on why I should buy it. Maybe I NEED both. Keep up the good work! I sub'd.

Great video!! I have an A6700 and love it! Do you think you could make a short video (or even community post?) about setting up the A6700 to act like product showcase mode? And even map it to a custom button? I'm sure many others would love to know as well. I use my A6700 for product reviews, so it would definitely come in handy. Thanks!

My favt creator is back

Hi Mark, Thanks for all the videos and tips. Please could you make a video on which Sony camera is the best overall for live streaming, and which setup gives the best results. thanks again

You mentioned overheating when using usb-c streaming. But what if you use hdmi with elgato camlink. Will they overheat then? And can you do 4K 60 with hdmi?

Mark you read my mind 😅 Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks. Would you consider doing a comparison between the 6700 and fuji x-s20? The open gate format is really tempting me for shooting for both vertical and horizontal videos…

Someone requested this video and Mark delivered in like two days 😂

Between these two, A6700 particularly if I can get it at a good used price.

Mark, thank you!! I am debating between a6700 and zve10ii and here you are, with exactly what I need! ❤️‍🔥

The correct launch price for ZV-E10ii under the current spec should have been $850, although I still think they intentionally cut too many corners that won't necessarily save them much cost.

So clean 😌 Nice video 😀

Hey Mark, Thanks for the video, i was in 2 minds but after this I’ve decided to go ahead and purchase the A6700, Thanks for the help.

After years of neglect, Sony's APS-C line seems like its most fully fleshed out. I think the combination of FX30 for pro video and A6700 for b-roll/stills would be hard to beat, with the ZV-E10II being a great entry point for beginners.

LETS GO! THANK YOU

the only time i think getting a zv-e10 ii would make sense is 1. you focus entirely on making vlogs or 2. you need a second lighter body to the fx3 / fx30 or a6700 if you do video work otherwise if: - you need a camera that can do 50/50 photo & video - weather sealed body - you need 4k120 then its a nobrainer a6700

Great video. The sign is definitely more visible.

I own the FX30 and I absolutely love it. the new ZV-E10 looks amazing and it's very tempting....but I think I would still get the A6700. For b-roll and better photos. That EVF is a big selling point. But the price of these (ZV-E10) almost makes you buy it without knowing anything about it. Great review Mark, always enjoy your take on these gadgets. be well!

It's really strange here in thailand the retail price difference is 277usd only

Have you tried the overheating on USB-C streaming but at 1080p, 60 FPS? I would use this product for RU-vid content creation "studio" mainly.

Hi mark, great comparison. They should've included mechanical shutter at least at this price point 😢. Also is the a6700's 4k is 6k downsampled right? But the zve10 m2's is 5.6k downsampled. Is this a downgrade?

Hi Mark. I've been considering using the new E10 II outside in a tropical climate (Thailand). If using 4k 24 or 30fps, how long do you think it'll realistically last? And would that cooling fan you mentioned make any meaningful difference? Thanks!

A fantastic review. Alluring.

I think you have the most expensive Chanel on RU-vid, my wife hates when I watch your stuff 😂 straight down to the camera shop….again Seriously Great work though

Very good review

Good to know! So there are some video/vlogging-centric differences that favor the ZV-E10 II, compared to the a6700, if they're both at full price. And also the fact that ZV-E10 II is better than a6700 when it comes to overheating. The ZV-E10 1, being so small, wasn't great, but there the battery would probably die a bit sooner than from overheating. Don't know if you mentioned the tally light, which I would personally would want in any hybrid camera. It's nice both for you to know that you're rolling if you're in front of the camera, and for your talent as well it can be useful. Really liked it on my ZV-E10 1. As well as that, the ZV cameras are very funny once you put the wind muffs on, they look to have either a fro, or an Elvis-style hair. Other than that, there is quite a lot of overlap in video, for many Sony cameras with relatively close prices: - ZV-E10 II / a6700 - FX30 / ZV-E1 So it also depends on whether one does only vlogging, or wants to have a great event video camera. Or a great photography travel camera as well. Or just IBIS. So it can be hard to choose. And probably the ZV-E10 1 will be sold for a lot of time, because the ZV-E10 II is not actually a replacement, but a higher-entry-level camera, and their prices also reflect that. And the ZV-E10 1 is also smaller and a bit lighter.

This video did justice. For me just the viewfinder is a dealbreaker.

love ur videos

Your review from the ZV-E10 II is the best in the whole world I've seen! It is better than Jareds, in my opinion! If you have the chance to get the Fuji X-T50, I am really looking forward to a compression with the Z-VE10 II!

With the taking photos while filming, is it only single shots or can you do bursts as-well? I’m hoping to get the zv -e10 2 with a sony 18-105 at some stage later on here in Australia. Btw love your videos.👏

So I was excited about the new zve10 but I don’t think I’m going to upgrade mine right now. I have a A7iv a FX30 and the OG zve10. I don’t think that new camera will do much for me. I film in 1080 so the 4k doesn’t mean much. The battery life would be nice but I like a mechanical shutter for photos and the price was a bit higher than I expected. I think for now I’ll keep the OG zve10

Thanks man ❤

It doesn't really hit you when you look at them in videos, but I was a little bit shocked at how much larger the a6700 body is when handling display units in the store. It's pretty much larger than an a7c, even if it is a little lighter. I know I'm a minority but that was actually a real deterrent for me. I like to be able to bring my camera all over the place and not draw attention, and I also regularly bring a bunch of camera stuff while climbing mountains so every bit of weight and bulk I can save is very welcome. Specs wise the a6700 is perfect, but I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger, and although I wish the zv-e10ii could do a little bit more, I'm feeling like I would probably be getting it over the a6700.

I’ve always wanted a camera. I was tempted to get the zve10. But put it off as it had already been out for a while so for the last 6 months I’ve been waiting for this. There is a lot of talk about videos etc. if I want a good camera for pics. How does the zve10ii do. A grand is a good price I could do.

Thank for your video about the zve10 mark II, I'm about to get one next month, but just want to ask you one more thing, which one have a better grip to hold ? a6700 or zv e10 mark II ?

I'm planning to get one of these cameras. I've only ever had cameras with a zoom rocker. How do you zoom the lens on the a6700 without a zoom rocker?

Thanks

is the Auto-Focus performance same ? between the 2 camaras ?

Is it possible to use active stabilization and OSS from kit16502 on any Sony camera? I am wondering if using it on the original ZV-E10 will provide extra smoothness, as the electronic stabilization on that camera is pretty low. I am hoping that this new lens, together with Catalyst Browse, will enhance the stabilization to the level of the ZV-E1. The only terrible thing is the cropping, which becomes significant!

Wow BANGER Topic!

Forbes DEFINITELY said that. I even saw the video in times Square on the big screens. Crazy part is, Ive never been to new York!

hi Mark thank you for this comparison it really helps to decide which camera to buy. I have one question , when you connect an external monitor through hdmi or through usb-c to a mobile phone (to use Monitor+ app as a monitor) does eye autofocus works in 4K-30/4K-60? I am asking it for both cameras. ZV-E10 supports up to 1080p and no possibility to use eye autofocus in 4K , I was wondering if any of these cameras support 4K with external monitor connected?

Hey Mark, can you please tell how long of a recording we can get with a6700 at 4k 120 If the recording situation is NOT air cooled and we are using something like the ulanzi fan? Awesome comparison as always!

Wow, you really laid it out well. I have the a6700 and A7R3. Did have the ZV-E10 but gifted it to my grandson. The a6700 is not only the jack of all trades, but it masters most of the trades like a pro. I am extremely satisfied with the a6700. It really is a joy to use. And with that AI chip, I am happily doing macro photography in my back yard, pestering little crawlies and getting deep into the buds of my fruit trees. If a photographer can 'cough' up the extra money, I would recommend the a6700 by a longshot. Conclusion, it's a photographer/videographer's dream.

I like to shoot videos and take photos. I want to be able to make short films, RU-vid talking head videos, and do some sports videography. I currently have an R10 but it doesn't have good stabilization and has no log. There also isn't a good selection of quality lenses for RF-S and I am considering selling it and switching to a Sony ZV-E10 ii or a6700. Which would you recommend for my use case? Eventually, I'd like to do some paid gigs once I build my skills with these cameras.

hey Mark got a question for you, I record in slog3 and i do hreat shooting in manual and exposing to the right but when i need a run and gun setup dont know how to do it, I’m setting up 1/50 shutter mode and +1,7 exposure but dont know how tu take it with the nd filter so , let me know if u know an essier way. Thank you so muchh. Love your content

Thanks Mark. To be honest, I think ZV e10 ll is a weird release from Sony! You pay the price for an upgrade, but it's not an actual upgrade compared to Mark I. We're in 2024, it has the label of vlogging camera but it doesn't have IBIS! If you only want something for vlogging and simplicity, Osmo Pocket 3 is a way better choice in my opinion (I stopped using my a7s iii in favour of that for vlogs). If you need photography as well as video, and price is an important factor, ZV e10 Mark I is still a great choice. If you're happy to pay more for a more professional body, go for a6700. Simple 😁

Is the lack of 10 bit processing a new "feature" of free Catalyst Browse or did it convert all my A7IV 10 bit footage to 8 bit and I didn't notice? Perfect comparison, thank you ! MkI vs MKII next? Definitely will watch !

I know you recommended the A7C last time to me because of better temp. Now im torn with this because of your videos. May i know which one would you recommend for a 25-30c ambient temp with external monitor for talking head like this as well? A7C? Zv e10 ii or a6700?

Thank you very much dear can you do a comparison Canon r 7 vs Sony xv e 10 ii

Is it possible to use background defocus to take photos on the ZV-E10 II?

I bought my E10 mk1 half a year ago. I love it but I was prepared to buy the mk2 when it shows up. But mk2 looks like as bulky as A6700 (detailed size comparison would be cool) and it's too expansive. That's 1000 bucks I can put forwards to A6700. Also, here in Czech Repiblic the difference is approx 300 USD. I already do have bunch of lenses, so no rush to keep the difference money. I'll just stick with my OG Duggie a bit longer. ❤

man oh man... I've had my first cam for almost a year, Cannon r100 and seriously thinking about switching to the a6700.

I gonna buy the ZV E10 Mark II, because I only need it for vlogging. It‘s more beginner friendly and the size is perfect for travel. I will use the Sony 11mm fe1.8 lens and I‘m fine for almost every situation. By the way - I’m freakin love the cine vlog mode 🤘🏻

So if you use that little fan that you attach to the camera you can record 4k60 for at least 2hrs on both cameras?

Hi Mark, I think I'll buy the ZV-E10 m2. I will use it in 4k 50fps. Which SD card do you recommend me? Thanks and keep going!! 🤗

Is the JPEG during video just a framegrab from the video ? Or is it same as clicking a picture ?

Hi, should i buy zve10 ii or a6700 for outdoor and indoor vloging ?

I have the zve1 but I want another camera for photos. I think the 6700 might be a good companion to my zve1.

I use my ZV for 50/50 stills and video, and was really excited for the mk2. Unfortunately they got rid of the mechanical shutter which makes it a complete no-go for my kind of work. If I had the money, I would've gotten the a6700, but I don't, and I also don't need a viewfinder as I'm using an external monitor 90% of the time. Too bad...

I have the ZV-e10. I love it. But I would love to have a 6700. It checks my boxes.

One thing worth mentioning would be the fact that the ZV-E10 II's lower weight is not only an advantage, but also a disadvantage as it even aggravates the camera's lack of stabilization: Microjitters have a much larger impact on a lightweight camera than on a heavier one as more force is needed to make it move. I often wondered why image stabilization of the 18-105 is so massively superior to the kit lens, and I think the answer is: Because it's four times as heavy. Very lightweight body and no IBIS is a terrible combination for photography as well as for handheld video shooting.

I consider that this ZV-E10 MK2 does not have the same impact in quality/price ratio compared to its predecessor. That said, the 6700 is the undisputed queen of Sony's APSC range. I take this opportunity to ask you, does the 6700 also have dual ISO like the FX30 and if so, despite not having the Cinema EI function, can it work in flexible ISO with the same principles of dual ISO for this 800 & 2500 sensor? Thank you in advance for your response, greetings.

i have the a6400 and consider to switch to the a6700 but not sure at the moment, because i do more photo than video.

I going for the A6700 because I already have the ZVE10 mark I

Perfect video! Could you confirm that minimum ISO for SLog3 in ZVE10 2 1000 or 800?

I see the ZV-E10 II being a better starter camera for someone who would like to start recording videos, and not spend as much. Both the easier to find options, which make it easier to find the more automated "tools", who would help a beginner more, and also the microphone, which I believe is something meaningless for a professional, who most likely will have an external mic in any occasion. As a beginner, personally I would prefer to go for the A6700. Even though it's 400$ more expensive, I like outdoor shooting more, and having a viewfinder on a sunny day, or a stabilizer, would be a big help I believe. Also the AI chip would help anyone, more or less, on a situation where you do many things at once.
