How did you decide?:) I’m in the same situation!

@@Noah0510 I ended up returning the zve10 and going for the 6400 but eventually went to a full frame lol but I just didn’t like how the zve10 felt like a toy😅 that’s just me tho

Evf is a must

Good job. Camera without evf is like a huge glorified smartphone.

I got the zv e10☺️

Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

Completely agree. The a6400 is definitely much more comfortable to hold thanks to its larger grip.

The Zve10 is the superior video option

With that amount of photography, I'd take the a6400. That's mainly because I use the viewfinder a lot. Depending on the video stuff you do, if there's a lot of moving the camera, I'd also invest in a gimbal.

Out of these two? If it's mainly for video usage, definitely the ZV-E10.

@@villerasku Thanks! Would you be able to recommend any other camera below the £1,500 mark for cinematography videos? Appreciate the advice!

Out of those two? The ZV-E10 is definitely the better video camera. So I'd say that.

Completely agree!

If photos are going to be a big part of it as well, I would probably go with the a6400 and a gimbal myself. An EVF is such a big deal for me when shooting photos but the lack of any stabilization becomes an issue when shooting big subjects like cars. Then again, that is a big investment all put together if you're just getting started, so the answer depends on your budget really. Of course you can get the a6400 and you can start practicing shooting techniques and just accept that the footage is going to be shaky until you get a gimbal.

Get the newly launched a6700

That's completely valid. The ZV-E10 is obviously the better camera for what you use it for. For me on the other hand, the ZV's drawbacks in my use outweigh it's advantages. That's why it's a great example of different priorities and use-cases = different idea of which is the "better camera".

It's like 15 bucks to unblock the screen on the a6400 :(

@@SoggyKatnip Not sure what you mean, Where do you locate the hot shoe to and who does this modification? I doubt they redo the whole hotshot or relocate the screen for $15.

@@MikesManCave you can get a frame or a hot shoe extender for 15. Not ideal, but cheap and functional.

@@SoggyKatnip You may get a cold shoe, which is no good for integrated microphones that run straight off the hot shoe like the Sony microphones. So your genuine Sony Microphone will not work unless you use a cable which defeats the purpose. Then you have to add stuff to your camera making a compact camera not compact any more. You can use the ZVE10 out of the box without issues as it already has a great microphone unlike the A6400 which has a terrible microphone. And if you want to run a microphone your Sony microphone will slip straight into your hot shoe and work without cables, plugs or adaptors.

For video forward usage like that, I would definitely recommend the ZV-E10. Pair it with a nice lens and you can get fantastic video quality for the price!

Ohh white camera gear looks so good. That's a fantastic setup!

I’m the exact same boat 😂😂

Smallrig sells cam cages which would give ZV E10 protection

Well, usually cameras in that price range have a drawback in some shape or form. So, before I'd give you a top 3, what are you looking to do with the camera? Mostly video? Mostly photos? If you do video, do you need stabilization? If you do photos, do you need good burst capabilities? Just a bit more info will allow me to give better recommendations.

@@villerasku mostly video.. With stabilization...I don't see using burst mode... And thank you for the help.

@@MrNewlife1968 If it's mostly video, 1500 would get you a ZV-E10 and a fantastic lens. Since that has stabilization and catalyst browse support for even further stabilization. Or another way to go could be the body for 700ish, one of the Sigma lenses for 400ish and a gimbal for 400ish. Or if you just want to focus on a camera, the Canon R10 should be around that budget. A lens will put you over that though but the photography experience is much better.

@@MrNewlife1968 you looking for a video Centric camera just to fx30 sewing $1,500

Out of these two options? The ZV-E10 is the one you want to go for. With the a6400, you would be sacrificing things that you want as a streamer in exchange for things that you have no use for.

@@villerasku thank You! The reason i ask is because i saw several streamers with A6000 so i thought A6400 would be better.

Unfortunately no, since it only has a micro-usb port. Because of that, you need something like a camlink or some other capture card.

@@villerasku I've seen some youtube videos where they use Sony's Image Edge software to use their sony camera as a webcam without having to use OBS or a capture card. Have you tried this? Appreciate the super quick reply to my comment btw! 🔥

@@NicoNg Haven't tested it myself but I got a feeling that the framerate isn't going to be great. I'll give it a test later tonight and let you know how it goes. Deal?

@@NicoNg Just tested it out and I did get it working. I mean, you might need OBS for the streaming part, but you can get decent framerate from just plugging it in with the cable and running imaging edge!

@@villerasku You're so awesome man! Really appreciate you taking the time to test this out. Yeah I'll probably use OBS for streaming, but it's nice to know that you can get it working without OBS or capture card if it'll just be for video calls. Thanks again for testing it out! You can make a YT video about this in case there are others who want to know how to use it for streaming w/o OBS. 😁

Wow. I’m in this exactly same situation right now. Which one you finally picked? Is it good for videography?

If your focus is mainly on video, the ZV-E10 is the better one to get. It's better to have the more extensive video features if you want to do something with them later than not have them at all. The only situation where I recommend the a6400 now is if your main focus is photography.

@@villerasku awesome! I will get that one. Any lens you will recommend for those videos?

@@rytmigo The Sigma Sony-E lenses are great value since they're fantastic quality while not breaking the bank. If you want to be equipped for a wider variety of situations and distances, the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 is a great option and I've got a review of that lens on my channel if you want to check it out. But it really comes down to what focal length you need.

@@villerasku Thanks! I will go and Watch your review 🙏

@@villerasku Thanks for your advice! I will go try them out. Cant wait 😍

Hello man. If you think anyone here know what "rubles" is mean then you are wrong... And yes, I think sanctions is at least for length of your life. So better escape soon as you can.

@@alexgoriatchenkov Ha ha you’re funny

hey man did u buy a camera , or are u still waiting . if yes , which one did you buy ?

So the zv e10 is about the same price as here in Europa, white the a6400 Costa about 150€ less than over here. 5000 Rubel less for a used one is not enough, if I would be you I would go for the a6400, it Sound like the best deal

4. do not be cowards, go outside, and try to stop the war and then buy a camera with better price

No problems at all and thanks for the kind words. Let me try to get these answered. 1. Having an evf makes shooting a lot easier in many situations. Such as having a level built in so you can make sure your shots are properly straight as well as being a lot easier to see in direct sunlight. On top of that, as you hold the camera to your eye, that is another point of contact, giving you more stability in your shooting. 2. You can make it work in sunlight, but depending on the brightness and direction of sunlight, you may have a hard time. 3. The screens are pretty much identical between the cameras if you don't count the rotation capabilities. 4. The rolling shutter performance is equally rough between both of the cameras. Hope this answered your questions. I've been there myself so if you have any more questions, I'll be happy to help to the best of my abilities.

@@villerasku thanks that really helped me get the info!

What did you end up getting?

@@neerajbute2094 what did you end up buying?

Hey man. I do both photography and videographgy. What would you recommend for this?

Both do have eye af for both humans and animals. I understand the struggle and while I have missed the flippy screen every now and then, for the most part I'd continue to pick the a6400 over the ZV-E10 for photography focused shooting.

@@villerasku oh nice.. mhm..then its the main thing for me the screen for the E10 and wather sealed fpr the 6400 .. xD I think i will wait for a sale, then I will decide.. cause in germany the price different is 200-250 Euro

@@Psyko_Blood watch more video on ZVE-10 you will be blown away, i too been struggling

So are you looking for a camera mainly for photography? In that case I would recommend getting a camera with an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF), since it makes taking photos in bright environments easier as well as allows you to keep your camera more steady. The ZV-E10 doesn't have an EVF, but it can still take photos. You just have to use the screen at all times which can introduce problems. Ultimately, that's why I wen't for the a6400, but the Canon R50 is definitely worth taking a look at as well.

@@villerasku how about for live streaming ? It will be good with a6400 or zv e10

@@noorzukrina6572 If you're going to be using it just for live streaming, the ZV-E10 is definitely the better choice. It's cheaper and it has better video features than the a6400. Pair with something like the Sigma 16mm f1.8(?) and you'll have fantastic stream quality.

Can you elaborate? I'm not really grasping on what issue you're referring to.

@@villerasku Im sorry, I was misinformed. I thought the ZVE10 would have only a electronic shutter. If you shoot indoor with ES you often get banding/flickering effects. But since the ZVE10 has also a mechanical shutter, this isnt an issue.

You'll be great with the 6400 especially for that much cheaper. It'll be much more comfortable for photos and it does fantastic video. The biggest differences in the video recording is the complete lack of stabilization options and no product showcase mode (which is handy to have but not a "camera seller") The tilt-up screen can be worked around if you need to see yourself when recording.

That would be the ZV-E10.

@@villerasku which lense? or would the kit lense 16-50 be good enough?

@@opxid6711 You definitely want to upgrade from the kit lens. The Sigma 16mm f1.4 is a fantastic lens to pair with the ZV-E10 and will get you a fantastic looking stream.

@@villerasku thank you is there a way to not have the blur that much on that lense or is the sigma 16mm f1.4 automatically blurred out that way?

@@opxid6711 The 1.4 is the maximum aperture but you can always make it smaller to reduce the blur effect.

Well, the ZV-E10 takes fantastic pictures, you just need to solely on the screen. If you're shooting clothing and its happening indoors, then I would go with the ZV-E10 since it will definitely be better for the music videos.

Both can be used via the usb connection to some extent but using an hdmi capture card (like the Elgato Camlink) connected to your pc will give you much better results

Thank You. Very helpful tip!

If the main use for the camera is video, then the ZV-E10 is the one to go for. The only situation where you should pick the a6400 is if you do a lot of photography and the downsides won't hinder your videography.

@@villerasku Okey! So The zv e10 is better for me. Thanks !

223 what? Dollars? Entirely dependent on your use-case. Basically, if you're focusing on photography, I think the a6400 is worth the price difference simply due to having an EVF and weather sealing. If you don't mind not having those, the ZV-E10 is the go-to.

@@villerasku yes dollars i bought a6400 i need it for both but photography is my priority and view finder helps a lot in sunlight if i haven't seen your video i would have bought zve10 because many other youtube videos made me think zve10 is the best value product here which is true but all of them speaks from the point of videography your video made me rethink a6400 was my first choice but many video made me think I should buy zve10 i forgot my purpose and is it safe to use 3rd party battery or should I buy stock battery and also what is ael 😅 trash button doesn't give info on that in any where else

LOL FALSE

@@officialyashvirgaming Then tell me why not....

@@HagaishiSama better larger sensor in ZVe10 ,

@RTX3070UserBenchmarks You need to do your homework idiot, it's the same senor as the a6400. The sony ZV-e10 has the same sensor as the sony a6400 a6500 a6600. Stop talking to me OK. De10 don't even have a mechanical shutter and it's not even weather sealed and you don't even have a evf?!? up shut up man🤦🏿‍♂️you just showed that you just follow what people say instead of doing the home work

In terms of video features, there is nothing that the a6400 has over the ZV-E10. In fact, the video features are better on the ZV-E10.

​@@villerasku❤❤

I've always loved having my imaginary kung fu fights while recording my videos. It keeps me relaxed.

Very true. Completely forgot about that.

@@villerasku nice video btw keep doing sir.

Does it have a mic jack?

Haven't used it myself as I don't have a camera that supports it, but I've seen it used and am aware of the limitations that it comes with. Don't know what you mean with "real videography", but getting stabilized footage on a 700$ camera by just handholding it and running it through a bit of software is undeniably useful. And the micro-usb isn't great, but then again usb-c didn't really come into the sub 1k$ cameras until last year, aside from Fuji and Olympus with them bringing it around 2020. The mac update issue sucks, I'll give you that.

@@villerasku I don’t find it much better than running through AE… no matter what, walking or running you’re going to end up with jerky footage. There is no replacement for proper hardware. I may be a little bitter - I tried to rely on it for the first time on a night shoot a few weeks ago where I was forced to drop down the 1/30 shutter speed and the results are completely unusable. Lesson learned - I don’t leave without my gimbal in my car anymore.

@@modlife Yeah that's where some of those limitations come into play. The times I've seen it used was on decently- to well lit situations and the results were fantastic. But the shutter speeds it works with are limited :/ Of course everything is simpler and more versatile with a gimbal. So if using it is an option, I would opt for it every time.

I really don't think so. The ZV-E10 is a great camera, but between these two, in my use-case, I'd pick the a6400 every time.

@@villerasku a6400 sure takes great pictures in terms photography but in terms of videography ZVE10 best

Which one are you talking about? The a6400? If you need stabilisation, it's obviously the wrong choice for you. But if you don't, it's a fantastic camera.
