The Sony APS-C Vlogger Gets Updated

bythom 2530

Sony today announced the ZV-E10 II, a modest update to the original. The big news here is the use of the same 26mp image sensor as the A6700 and FX30 and dropping the mechanical shutter. The body also undergoes a bit of a bulk to accommodate the larger NP-FZ1000 battery. 

The new sensor provides 1.1x crop 4K/60 derived from downsampled 5.4K (and with 10-bit depth), and Sony has added things like vertical video support (with the LCD moving the overlays into the correct positioning). There are also 2:35:1 widescreen and cropped 4K/120 modes, as well.

Because this is an entry body, there's no sensor-stabilization, though video can be actively stabilized by using a ~1.5x crop (a 1.33x crop of the 1.1x crop). The ZV-E10 Mark II also doesn't get the latest BIONZ AI improvements, though at the US$1000 price point that is to be expected.

Along with the ZV-E10 Mark II, Sony also updated the 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens to a II model. The big difference here other than cosmetics and a bit of weight loss is that focus can now track while the lens is zooming. That's sort of a big deal for vlogging ;~)

Strangely, Sony has dropped the "Mark" from what usually would be "Mark II" and gone with the simpler roman numeral only that Nikon and Panasonic have been using.
