this ain’t worth it

The lack of IBIS and only cropped digital stabilisation are big negatives, surely?
@philipbloom on YouTube
it neither satisfies photographers nor content creators. This is even worst than s9.
@reek75 on YouTube
No IBIS is a dealbreaker.
@TheLonesomeBricoleur on YouTube
No mechanical shutter, No EVF, No IBIS, but $1000 body only.
@EXkurogane on YouTube
IBIS: ❌
@80-80. on YouTube
There is some weird just noticeable blurriness in this footage
@OldGirlPhotography on YouTube
Just get the a6700. My favorite camera
@InTheVise on YouTube
ridiculous crop in software stabilisation
@bradl2636 on YouTube
the pricing of the camera says "my wallet doesn't belong"
@thepan on YouTube
we're losing IBIS, EVF, mechanical shutter, more stable autofocus and 4K@120.

Hi! I have 100% same struggle as you! I have a Osmo pocket 3 and is looking for a camera and lastly i set between a6400 and ZV-E10 ii. Did you decide which to bought yet?

Hi, thanks for clarifying (which disappoints me a little, haha). I completely agree with your conclusion, but I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to find something just as good for 500 euros...

try setting it to intelligence auto first with the fn button. next, try to learn the basics. learn the exposure triangle. then try switching to manual and experiment, its all about experimentation. glgl

Guess you are in manual mode. Spin the wheel to rise the shutter speed, image will get darker so you need to rise the ISO or lower the aparture to get more light. Or turn the lights on in the dark room.

Great shots! Which prime lens do you use? Would love to chat about your focus and metering setup as I own the same camera with Sigma 60mm f2.8 kit lens.

Heard a lot about overheating at 4k/60. Does anyone have experience with this? If so, does the problem extend to 4k24? I want to get it for youtube and long form (1hr +) podcasting. It's down to this or r50v.

Many reviewers said slog is not good for zve10 bcz of 8 bit… is this really shot in slog 2 and then color corrected during post? Edited in davinci?

Gimbal, or just don't walk with it and stabilize in post. The one thing you can't fix in post is if you walk with it without a gimbal - you get blurry frames when your foot hits the ground.
