The Nikon Z30 wins hands down again. Great info.

I just bought Nikon Z30, it's now my first interchangeable lens camera, after a 25 year gap in Photography (I used to do film photography)

The Z30 is advantageous for existing Nikon DSLR users. Just strap in an FTZ adapter and you can use the best F-mount lenses on it with full functionality.

Doing the work no one else is doing. Awesome stuff as usual. Learned more from you than anyone else.

Now this was a true camera comparison. Man you really tested everything as equal as possible. Thanks a ton!

the most detailed comparison of the 2. THAAANK YOU SO MUCH MARK

Such a great entertaining and informative comparison. Much appreciated. I'm a Nikon shooter, and while the Z lenses are lacking there's of course the F mount lenses that you can adapt. They'll be noisy though so it's better to use an off camera mic for that. Other than that they both are great.

Wow…great comparison! For video little Dougie seems hard to beat as long usage doesn’t require panning. For photography, likely the Z30.

I’m so happy whenever I search something and you have a video for it! 😭💗

Thank you for such an in-depth review! I'll be making my purchase after watching this!!

Bro you are geek and funny one at the same time...love to watch your videos .. people around you must be happy to have you

Thanks buddy, great short review!

Great video! I have the Zve 10 but had no idea about Catalyst Browse… thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for your great review, I will go for Nikon Z30 definitely.

Solid comparison. I made my way here as I see the Z30 is on sale. I have a Nikon Z6 but want something to pair with it and the Z30 seems like a great choice.

Every comparison video I see makes me feel that much better for having chosen the ZV-E10 as my first ever mirrorless camera...

Excellent comparison, thanks for sharing detailed video

Thanks for a great review, I also really liked your review on the zv E10 vs Canon M50!

Thank you Mark for all these well-documented details, it's reassuring that you continue to appreciate the Sony ZVE10 despite its age and its few flaws, but its affordable price and its obvious qualities will be difficult to beat for the competition. Its biggest defect "the rolling-shutter" disappears with the use from Catalyst browse.

Good job as always Mark

Brilliant as always! Would be great to have your explanation how to match footage from different cameras in post

I am a beginner knowing not much about camera. Last one was a film camera...... This review is awesome, even tough the concept explained were complex it was understandable. That is what happens when somebody understand extremely well their topic. When you understand well you can explain well. Great job Mark and thank you very much for the hard work you put in this.

Oddly the Sony looks better for outdoor shots but the Nikon (or Nikpon (4:04) as you had it in one section) does better inside. Both very useable though. The feel of a camera does make a huge difference when you are using it and the Sony just doesn't have that satisfying feel to it compared to my Canon. If the Nikon has a similar feel to it, as I suspect, then that would probably have been the camera that I bought. But the Sony was released first and that's what I bought.

Great review and comparison! Thank you very much!

Very Helpful and entertaining video. This helped me make my desicion. I think I am going to go with the Sony Zv - E10

Super good vid. Really in-depth tests and love your energy! :)

imaazing clip! m interested in the high iso noise of these two cameras in low light condition!

Thanks a lot for this very clear comparison! I just wanted to add Sony made a software in which you can put your footage and it will fix the rolling shutter for you quite well.

I love your content ❤. The best reviews I have ever seen.

My vote would be on the Nikon Z30 as it has digital IS with less crop than the Sony. The 4K Flat graded profile of Nikon Z30 looks good compared to Sony and Canon in your samples. In the end, who buys this, depends on what lenses a person might already own or brand loyalty. Both Sony and Nikon are close and have great colors. I am guessing Nikon bought their sensor from Sony maybe? Both work as vlogger cameras.

Great comparison champ some good points I switched from Nikon to Sony and my ZV-E10 I am very happy with it love the Catalyst browse stabilization thanks for sharing the video

Hi, I'm looking to buy a camera to start making videos and I have watched a couple videos on your chanel, it is extremely helpful, thank you so much for sharing all you know in such an interesting, pedagogic and funny way!

Very good review. You only forgot to mention that the internal microphone in the Nikon is much better.

Omg you are AMAZING! Your videos are very informative and well done!!!!! Love how you show examples of footage and here’s the kicker, what made me comment was every question I had as to how “this or that” compares even when I went to search YOU came up! It’s like you had me covered on every comparison that came to mind lol love your content ❤

Wow. The Nikon Z30 did quite well in the low light video footage. Good rolling shutter as well.

This dude remind me of a nicer version of Count Olaf from a series of Unfortunate events. Keep up the Great work!

The best comparison i have seen 🔥😉

The 1080p quality is substantially sharper to me, watching on my monitor, this is important to me because I shoot mostly 50p to give me the option to slow down 50% in post. So Im glad Nikon did well in this. Note: The Nikon Z30 doesn't crop 4K video at 30p, the ZVE10 does. I think from these tests the only thing Id miss in the Z30 is gyro stabilisation - having used it a few times its very handy.

really good comparison 👍

This is a real comparison, thanks a lot man. I’m a Nikon dslr user, focused on action sports, and bit of blogging, and photography also. I’m thinking now in the z30 over the Sony

Oh man a real review thanks!

The out of the box auto setting vs manual setting vs manual + fancy lense,m was an awesome comparison!

Funny that you mentioned shooting race cars at the end as that is one of the things I need the camera to do. Was heavily leaning to the ZV-E10 before but now seeing the Z30 leaves me with a much more difficult decision to make!

Great work Mark. Please try to do a comparison between Sony Zve10 and Fuji Xs10 if possible. Thanks

Great video … what do you think about the z50 and z5 to do videos?

Great video as usual. Very handsome, and the cameras are kinda cute, too. Will do you do a review on the Nikon Z30? I looked on your video tab and I didn't see one specifically for the Z30.

How does this man not have more subs XD incredible video sir, thank you!!!

Absolute great comparison videos! Which camera would be best for workout content?

One important feature you missed is “mode and user preset dial” of Nikon Z30. It’s very important for hybrid shooters. Going everytime in settings to change modes in ZV E10 is pain in the ❤.

Zv e10 was great about stabilization with the catalyst browse Because it has better result than the warp stabilization in premiere pro With wide variety lens that has no is The zv e10 was a great deal if we use it for walking etc But i love the z30 picture profile

Mark, I’ve found a workaround for the Sony E10 poor 1080p For 30p, video in 4k and render at 1080. For 60p, video at 120fps with a shutter speed of 1/125th. Render in 60p When you use 120fps, you have 100 mbs and no crop. 1080 crops into the picture very significantly causing it to look soft. 120 uses the full sensor!!

I was on the fence between the two of these, but went with the Nikon z30. The easier touch screen menu and better rolling shutter is what sold me in the end and I couldn't be happier... the images I'm taking are beautiful, and I'm really happy with the video. I need to get a couple more lenses, and I know Sony has the bigger selection when it comes to lenses, but I've seen that Nikon still has a fairly descent selection. I also tend to stick to 1080 video when shooting and it's been handling it very well.

Thank You So much For that Comparison , Love form India

Best comparison video on these two little cameras. Love the new music in the video. These cameras are making you look like a Men's Health Model 10:36 haha

Whoa that Viltrox 13mm lens is insane!

Great video mark! This was a fun/funny one to watch. I’m still unsure on which one to get. I’m looking for either of the two to take with me on a trip to the Mediterranean. My main concern with Sony is the crop when shooting at 4k in selfie mode? and the shaky footage (which I’m thinking that can be eliminated with a gimbal and in catalyst browse at post? Do you think a side angle lens will help with the crop at 4K when vlogging in selfie mode? Appreciate you taking the time to read this. Cheers

For Video I will stay with my Sony ZV-E10 for sure !!!!!

Hi Mark! Thank you so much for such a detailed and interesting comparison. Can I ask you one question? Please tell me which camera you would choose if you need to shoot cool, sharp pictures of wildlife (while traveling) in summer and autumn in 4K 30 FPS? I have an old Nikon D50 and with it a couple of inexpensive lenses (Nikkor 35 2.8 and Tamron 55-200 3.5-5.6, it seems), so I also look at DSLRs. Sample list: 1. Nikon D7500 (the main advantage is the Nikon F mount, which means a bunch of lenses for the future and without any adapters, the crop is confusing when shooting 4K and the fact that it’s a DSLR...); 2. Nikon Z30 (same as Z50 but without a viewfinder); 3. FujiFilm X-T3, but used (the limitation on the shooting duration of 30 minutes is very confusing, the possibility of 4K/60 fps is attractive, and many praise the “Fuji” color and picture); 4. Sony ZV-E10; 5. Sony A6400; If you answer, please provide at least a brief argument as to why this option is chosen. The main thing is to have the highest quality, detailed video, photos - it doesn’t matter. Well, post-processing capabilities are also important so that you can paint with high quality in Adobe Premier... The shooting is non-commercial, everything is just for yourself. Thank you!

Looking forward to this.

I like the image for both of them really, but for gaming videos, vlogs, and pictures sometimes which would you reccomend?

NIce explanation buddy.

hi mark, thanks for another great video. you've fast become my favourite camera reviewer. does the minimum shutter in auto ISO also work in video? and you really can't shoot shutter priority in video?? seems crazy. but minimum shutter in auto iso in video would work ok for me. also nikon kit lens looks better than sony kit lens (corrected).

10:36 …You had me at hair flip!!! Living!!! 😂🙌

Great review! 🙂

I love your videos brotha! One question I hope you’re able to reply, I’m a barber i record a lot of step by step haircuts, take pictures. What camera do you recommend, a lot of barbers will appreciate your response lol

Thanks for the side-by-side comparison of these two! I'm looking to get a camera to use for making product review videos and the one big thing I don't see often mentioned in camera reviews is the autofocus which is crucial for reviews. I will often have the camera on a tripod about 2 to 4 feet from the subject area recording the product in use and then moving the product up close to show the details or if I'm using a knife for carving I might move the carved item up closer. With that said, how well do these two compare when it comes to the autofocus; how well do they detect a change in distance, how quickly do though focus, are they likely to bounce around a bit trying to get focused? I'm new to the world of cameras and am learning this as I go, but am trying to pick up on the info pretty quick to make a well informed decision. Thanks!

If I’m looking to shoot video as well as shoot photos occasionally, which would you suggest of these two? I currently shoot with a canon T7i but, I want to have something more compact when I’m traveling.

Loved the comparison video ! As someone starting out doing both video and photo for personal life documenting use as a student which would you recommend ? Also which screen is brighter on sunnier days ? Thanks !

Coming from a ZVE10, and very happy with what that little guy could do, I must say the Z30 video looks better in both 4K and 1080. I would like to hear about the autofocus.

As always AWESOME video Mark... but DAMN... how many freaking cameras do you own?! My guess is that you keep loosing them on your nightly secret dark pyramid catacomb expeditions...

Man i missed your zoomed in sharpness test as you have did in your older videos please bring back that test

Great valuable info

Can you put up a comparison between these two cameras on the basis of photography

Bought a Z30 to replace my aging panasonic G6 as my kids performance video camera, couldn't be happier. Great codec, wish it had a headphone jack. Flippy screen and usb-c charging is great. Colors are great

Great videos man. I got my first ever camera aside from a kiddie toy from a fast food which i got when i was 9. I was in search for a stock of Rx100 vii in the Philippines but had a hard time finding one as rx is gonna be very good for my travel. So I ended up getting in the middle of the m50 ii and zve10. I only chose the zve10 because the box was sealed and the m50ii is also a new unit but out of the box already for display. I have to watch reviews and everything after i bought it, and most of it were your vids.

Which then is a better lens selection for the ZV E10 for both photography and vlogging, viltrox 13 mm f1.4 or the sony 11 mm f1.8?

Hey Mark, I wanted to asky you, how would the next gen Sony ZVE10 would look like, because it is to be announced soon next year, so I want to wait for it before I planning on buying this version, pls help me with your thoughts! Oh btw great comparison video! Keep going!

The nikon z30, with a better rolling shutter and no crop, is a higher video ranking to me. I use an external mic which has a headphone jack so I don't need the camera headphone jack. The bigger grip is easier for selfies. Sony has lots of good features that as a beginner video do care too much yet. Both should work well for beginner plug and play. Nikon web cam software you install once and it works like any other computer driver.

I just got the ZVE 10 with the Viltorx 13mm 1.4. To crop in I just use the Electronic zoom in the ZVE 10. Great comparison. What I've been looking for. Thanks

ZV-E10 for me!🙂

Could you recommend a flash or speed lite for the Nikon Z30

Please make a video on how they compare on photography.

Good morning and thank you for the incredible content! I’m fairly ignorant with technology and currently just use my IPhone 12 Pro Max for all of the content I do. I have a detail shop where I polish cars, do ceramic coating, and paint protection film. Sometimes I’ll spend 50 to 80 hours on a single vehicle doing restoration work, and I really struggle with presenting the work on social media. The pictures I can edit on my phone usually look good but I can’t stand the video lol. It just never does the work justice. I’ve heard great things about the Sony Alpha 7iii and iiii but I found your channel recently and it seems you really enjoy and recommend this Sony Camera . If you were me and doing short 1 to 3 minute videos of vehicles, and me performing the work as well as photographs which camera would you recommend for that? I just really want to raise the bar for my business and present the work the way it deserves. I appreciate your help and I’m sorry for the long question, your videos are incredible and you’re very helpful. Thank you and God Bless

Sounds like just a better user experience with the Z30 having full functioning touchscreen, while the Z is limited to focus touch. If long video in 4K is important without overheating over 30 min., the Sony wins, but 30 min. for 4K for Nikon Z30 is often fine, or go with 2 hours record with full HD 1920. These cameras are apples to oranges on some features, but still close in function. The Nikon has a better high res. back LCD which also makes for great user experience. I would go with Nikon z30, but both cameras are priced similarly with kit lens. Tough choice for new users though if someone is not brand loyal. Despite there being a lot more Sony lenses, how many are the average user going to buy, maybe 2 or 3 at most. Thanks for a great review! This would people buying one or the other.

Your videos convinced me that I should buy the ZV E10, so I did. It’s my first ever non-Powershot camera and while I miss that 50x optical zoom (can’t afford lenses for E10) I’m so happy with the image quality and the purchase overall.

I have been following you from 2 years when you have 1k subscribers. But I think sony zv10 is a much better camera because you have shown the comparison of this camera with the entry level and high end camera sony is the best

I want to get the Sony with the wide lens to counteract the worst stabilization and the crop do you think that’s a good decision or just go with the z30 I want to make sit down video and vlog

i have both sony zv-1 and zv-e10 i use zv-1 for vlogging cuz zero rolling shutter and use zv-e10 for cinematic footage cuz u can fix rolling shutter in post production i love both cameras and use them all the time and they dont overheat in 4k with high heat setting on big benefit there

Thanks Mark for a great comparison. Which lens(es) would you recommend with the ZV-E10 for Vlogging but also filming monuments on a trip?

Nice comparison man. For future stabilization tests, you should walk normally lol. We want to see how it looks when we are walking when vlogging and I don’t think people are going to be walking carefully and stiff while vlogging haha. It’s a better real world test.

Thanks for the great video. Quick question, between a6400 and ZV-10 which one do you recommend for both video and photo?

Great review! Your walk looked so uncomfortable, maybe pick up the pace next time 😂😂 anyways ended up getting the Nikon

Thank you sir 💯🤩

Not too sure if I’ll get a reply : I have two Nikon dslr - one is FF the other is APSC - I want to do basic interviews with clients - with the Z30 I can adapt all my current Nikon lenses - if I buy the Sony I have to start with new lenses - also until you use a camera extensively one can’t appreciate enough the user 1,2,3 profile setups for different video applications on the fly which the Nikon has - so what would your suggestion be if you were me?

I simply couldn't decide so, yep, I got both and my experience with "side-by-each" comparisons was spot on, same as yours Mark. That said, Walter (my white ZV-E10) is still my "got-to", AND I'm an old school Nikon guy.......may have to "gift" the z30 to some lucky, inspiring content creator. Hmmmm.?.?.?

Hey Mark, quick question: How did you you get the electronic stabilization with the z30 and the viltrox 13mm? Mine is not selectable for e vr.

what camera is best to start my directing/videography business for films/music and promotional videos??

If I wann do some holiday/nature videos, should i get ne Sonys or nikon camera. I'm coming from a canon powershot g7x (first gen)

Great comparison, I have both Systems, Sony E and Nikon Z . I like and want both these cameras but If I had to pick one right now it would be the Nikon I think it has better IQ and colors. Maybe it's my eyes but a lot of the sony footage has this green undertone I can't stop seeing. I have the A7c and don't see it in that. So mabe it's just the older sensor. Anyways just throwing it out there , there is an af adapter you can get for the Nikon so you can use all sony e glass. Supposed to be really good. Also, how long can the zv 10 shoot slow motion? I was disappointed when I found out my zv1 can only shoot slow motion for 3 to 5 seconds.. Great videos.

What other ways to fixing/preventing rolling shutter exist for the ZVE10 other than Catalyst Browse? I also ordered it and it is what will replace my smartphone for automotive videography.
