Hi everyone! In my previous video comparing the Sony ZVE-10, ZV1 and Xperia PRO-I’s low light and focusing performance in auto mode, the ZVE-10 ended up doing the same or worse than the other two despite its bigger APS-C sensor. It may have been hindered by the Sony 16-50mm kit lens with its max open aperture of f3.5 compared to the f1.8 and 2.0 on the ZV1 and Xperia PRO-I.
In this video I’ve switched out the 16-50mm lens on the ZVE-10 for a Sony 16mm f2.8 lens to do another comparison with the ZV1. Let’s see if the f3.5 aperture was holding it back or maybe the backside illuminated (BSI) sensor on the ZV1 does have an advantage in low light compared to the front side illuminated (FSI) one on the ZVE-10. The Xperia PRO-I wasn't included due to my worries of it overheating and shutting down during the comparison as in the last video.
The ZVE-10 will be using Intelligent auto mode while the ZV1 will use aperture priority to match the Sony 16mm f2.8 lens used in this comparison. I would have loved to use an f1.8 lens to match the max open aperture on the ZV1 but I don't have one.
All the secondary footage in this video was done with either the ZVE-10 and ZV1 (some from the Xperia PRO-I) to give you an idea how well they do for that type of content.
