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

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.

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

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

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

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!!

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

Thanks for keeping us up to date as always 🫡

Mark, I appreciate you making this. 👊🏻

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

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

That was a very detailed comparison. After seeing some other KZfaqrs 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.

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

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

the video I've been waiting for!!

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

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.

Excellent breakdown/ comparison Mark!

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!

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.

One of my favorite camera/gear channels. ❤

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

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

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.

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

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

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? 🤔

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

My favt creator is back

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.

This is the content I’ve been waiting for.

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

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!

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

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!

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

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?

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

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!

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

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 !

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

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.

I think zv-e10II is in a weird spot, as it is neither a budget camera nor a mid-level camera. It's too expensive (compared to zv-e10m1) . If it was $800, it'd be an instant buy. Or for $1200, if it had 4k120, IBIS, and weather seal body, then it would be an instant buy, too.

I would definitely say the mark 2 is a great camera for a low price for any videographer or vlogger looking for high quality video without having to pay high quality video money. But if you can spend an extra $300 to $400 then hands down by a 6700 because with all the features that comes with the a6700 is a no brainer. You have the dynamic range of a Sony a7r 5 in crop mode You have 5 to 6 stops of inbody stabilization Do you have a evf You have a camera body that is weather sealed And you have a mechanical shutter It's definitely worth the money but the mark 2 is also a great camera for what its intended for and at a awesome price.

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.

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. ❤

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 🤘🏻

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.

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!

What are we getting for a $300 price increase? A parts bin battery and an already few year old sensor? They took the shutter? Didn’t give us the AI auto focus chip. It’s a glorified web camera, A6700 is the only way to go.

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

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.

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!

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.

This is the best camera comparison of all time.

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…

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.

I like your colour grading over the more “cinematic” style we see so often these days on KZfaq. Maybe I just like your face 😂

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 😁

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

Great review mate

I always love your 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!

What most people don't consider when asking why any company leaves features out of one product versus another is the ability to sell the lesser product at an even lower price than it's typical listing price while still making money. The A6700 might have enough margin for Sony to discount it $200 while still making enough to be profitable. While the ZV-E10 II could like be discounted the same $200 while maintaining a higher total margin or at a $300 discount while still eaking out a profit and making up the difference on volume. And when it's on sale for $799 and the A6700 isn't on sale that makes the ZV-E10 II seem like an even greater value to those who are just going to use it as a video platform. Now it's a $600 savings and that's a decent lens and tripod worth of difference. Not to mention that when the ZV-E10 II is bought at it's typical list price there's even more margin going into Sony's pockets than when the A6700 is bought at typical retail. You also have to keep in mind that marketing matters. A lot of people simply don't understand that something like the A6700 is an equal and often better video platform just because it's not marketed as a "creators" camera. Remember, the target audience isn't pro photographers or videographers who understand all the specs. There are plenty of amateurs who need marketing to tell them what they are buying. Also, don't forget the market for those looking for a secondary camera for video where they just don't need all the features and want to save some money. I have long used a Sony camcorder with great results when I wanted video but now that I have a Sony A6600 and an A7IV having the ability to use the same lenses on a less expensive "video-centric" rig sounds appealing.

amazing review and comparison!

I have the A6700 as well as the original Dougie.. The MkII seems to be a halfway house between the 2 (but still tempting!) and I still don't understand Sony in not having IBIS in a camera sold for Vlogging, nice camera though.

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

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?

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...

Thank you Mark Another advantage of the 6700: uncompressed RAW, which in low light or astrophotography is a must. Of course that only makes sense for photography. Cheers.

A6700 is on sale right now. With the kit lens it's $1500 USD. That's only $50 more than the ZV-E10 MKII with the 11mm f1.8. Looks better too: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="470">7:50</a>

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

good video as always

Let’s be honest we were all waiting for this video

It seems like the IBIS in the a6700 offers more than just less crop than the digital image stabilization in the ZB-E10II. The side by side footage from the a6700 looked more _natural._ I suppose that could be my eyes tricking me because of the reduced crop, but I don't think so.

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.

Great video. The sign is definitely more visible.

It’s obvious Sony wanted to create something to keep the Mark 1 selling and upsell the a6700, but man they did such a great job with the 6700 that it feels like it’s a more long term worth it product

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO.

very good compare.

The real problem is should I take a used zv e1 or a new zv e10 ii 😅😂

So clean 😌 Nice video 😀

I end up buying a lightly used A6700 at slightly cheaper than the ZV-E10 II. I need that mechanical shutter.

next up: ZV-E10 II vs FX30

The a6700 is my favorite camera of all time. I use it with my a7iv (which I love) but I prefer the a6700 because of the form factor.

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!

Nice video! Sony ZVE-10 II with IBIS or Alpha 6700 with the better camera would be a perfekt combination.

Outstanding, Mark! Sony is killing it these days!!

I have a couple m50s and m200 Canon cameras. And I will start switching to Sony with ZV E10 II this year.

When more crop is used, it reduces the number of pixels to be processed & less time for rolling shutter. At 4K120p, the ZV-E10 II would overheat far fast than the a6700. They pick features they think the cheaper/different market segment can do without, especially the ones that can make manufacturing it cheaper. Compromises vs perceived value to upgrade. I wonder if they could sell the a6700 cheaper & save the bother of designing/supporting yet more models. Can they make the mic, EVF, screen & flash as modular add-ons so users pick what's important each day/hour to swap?

I am on a budget and currently owning a ZV-E10, I'll probably go for the MK2 due to my limited budget... otherwise I would pick the 6700

Separate from your alway concise break downs, I have a few complaints about Sony. They make a vlogging camera with no ibis and a big electronic stab crop. They also like take the same sensor and make a bunch of cameras at various price points. Sony has so many cameras in their line up often it's hard to keep track of the differences. It would be very confusing as non tech consumer.

a6700 has 1/48 and 1/96.1, doesn't really matter that it's in var. shutter mode (or am I wrong?) great comparison video anyways, thank you for making this content 🔥

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!

Old kit lens vs new kit lens ❤❤
