Sony ZV-E10 II

Sony released the ZV-E10 II in 2024 as a lightweight mirrorless camera. It pairs a 26 megapixel APS-C sensor with the Sony E lens mount, and the body weighs just 292 grams, so it hangs lightly on a strap or in a bag.

The video specifications point this camera at content creators. 4K 60p recording, 10-bit 4:2:2 capture and S-Log3 profiles with S-Gamut3.Cine give vloggers and film-makers room to grow, and a dedicated Cinematic Vlog mode delivers a widescreen look at 24p.

Recording tops out at 4K UHD, which means 3840 x 2160 pixels. Frame rates reach 60p in 4K for smooth motion and fluid camera moves.

Capture runs at 10-bit 4:2:2 All-Intra in the XAVC S/HS codecs. Ten-bit colour holds subtle gradations when you adjust white balance or colour in post.

S-Log3 with S-Gamut3.Cine is included for graded work. The flat profile suits projects where colour will be shaped deliberately in editing, and it pairs naturally with the 10-bit recording described above.

Slow motion comes from the Slow & Quick mode at Full HD 120p, so high-frame-rate work happens at that resolution rather than in 4K. The Cinematic Vlog mode records in a 2.35:1 widescreen ratio at 24p for a film-style frame without extra editing.

Stills start with a 26 megapixel APS-C sensor. That resolution leaves headroom to crop a composition in editing or make prints at reasonable sizes, two jobs where extra pixels help.

The APS-C format also changes how lenses frame. Any given lens renders a tighter, less wide view than it would on a full-frame sensor, so plan wider glass when you want expansive views or tight interiors.

The camera itself stays light. This mirrorless body weighs 292 grams, which makes it comfortable for handheld shooting, easy to slip into a bag, and barely noticeable when held at arm's length for vlogging.

Lenses attach via the Sony E mount, so lens choices are made within that system. The mount is the fixed boundary for any future lens purchases, whether for stills or the video work described next.

Built-in Wi-Fi is confirmed on the ZV-E10 II. That gives the camera a wireless connection option, which fits the content-creation focus suggested by its video modes, and those recording tools are covered in the video section.
