Sony has announced a pair of second-generation upgrades to
popular creator-focused tools; the ZV-E10 II, now featuring the
same 26MP sensor as the FX30 and a6700, and an fresh take on the
kit zoom with the E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II lens.
NEW
YORK, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- B&H
is pleased to introduce Sony's latest camera for creators, the
ZV-E10 II mirrorless camera. This is the second-gen follow-up to
2021's ZV-E10, their first mirrorless camera dedicated to vloggers.
Version II has been updated with the same sensor as the FX30 and
a6700 and features a wealth of other tweaks and upgrades that make
it faster and in line with Sony's other compact cine-focused
bodies. Alongside this compact camera, Sony is announcing another
second-gen product with the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II
lens—a long-awaited refresh of their standard APS-C kit zoom.

Product Highlights:
- 26MP APS-C Exmor R CMOS Sensor
- UHD 4K60p and Full HD 120p Video
- 3.0" Touchscreen LCD, Vertical Support
- 759-Point Fast Hybrid Phase Detection
- Up to 11-fps Shooting, ISO 100-32000
- Real-Time Eye AF and Tracking
- Background Defocus, Product Showcase
- Focus Breathing Compensation
- Directional 3-Capsule Mic and Windscreen
- Headphone and Microphone Ports
The ZV-E10 II's primary upgrade is the inclusion of the 26MP
Exmor R CMOS APS-C sensor. Coupled with a new BIONZ XR processor,
which promises 8x faster performance, the ZV-E10II is nearly on
level standing in terms of recording compared to Sony's other top
tier APS-C cameras. It's now capable of recording 4K60, using a
5.6K oversampling area, as well as
FHD shooting at 120p. XAVC HS and XAVC S-I formats allow for
recording in 10-bit 4:2:2 at up to 600 Mb/s and the camera includes
S-Cinetone, S-Gamut3. Cine, and S-Log3 to better make use of the
14-stop dynamic range and support color grading control. The camera
also has assignable LUTs and a Creative Looks mode that can apply
tunable preset color effects to your footage in-camera.
The other key benefits of the upgraded sensor and processing lie
in the autofocus arena: the Sony ZV-E10II now sports a Fast Hybrid
759-point phase-detection system along with an AI Processing Unit
for advanced subject recognition and improved Real-Time Subject
Tracking and Real-Eye AF. In practice, this focusing system should
be noticeably quicker to lock focus onto subjects as well as be
able to hold focus on moving subjects with better efficiency. And
especially beneficial to the vloggers working with this camera is
the inclusion of Focus Breathing Compensation, as well as dedicated
Background Defocus and Product Showcase focus modes.
Physically, the ZV-E10 II is similar to its predecessor with one
major difference; the new body now takes the larger capacity
NP-FZ100 battery and is now rated to record approximately 610 shots
per charge, compared to the 440 shots/charge of the original
ZV-E10. This is roughly a 30% increase in available battery life
and makes the camera much better situated to all-day recording.
Making room for this larger battery, the camera has also gained a
little bit of size and weight compared to its predecessor, now
measuring 4.5 x 2.7 x 2.1" (versus 4.5 x 2.5 x 1.8") and weighing
13.3 oz (versus 12.1 oz) with the battery and memory card.
The on-board mic is the same 3-capsule mic as the ZV-E1, which
offers selectable directivity, and the camera includes a furry
windscreen to cut unwanted noise. For external audio options, there
are 3.5mm mic and headphone ports and the camera has Sony's latest
digital audio interface MI Shoe that supports working with
shoe-mounted mics, like the ECM-M1, ECM-B1M, or the ECM-S1 Wireless
Streaming Microphone System.
Some additional design elements of the ZV-E10 II include an
improved 3" 1.04 m-dot vari-angle
touchscreen LCD, which now supports vertical info display when
shooting vertically; a USB-C port for in-camera battery charging;
and it still has a single UHS-II SD memory card slot. For wireless
transfer and control, there is 5Ghz Wi-Fi and the ZV-E10 II also
supports RTMP, RTMPS, and SRT streaming protocols and UVC standards
for webcam use.

Sony's other announcement is for the E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS
II— the second-generation kit zoom for Sony's APS-C-format
cameras. Its predecessor has been an omnipresence for Alpha
shooters looking to get going in the system; its 24-75mm-equivalent
range is versatile enough for everyday use and the modest f/3.5-5.6
maximum aperture range keeps its size especially petite for all-day
carry. It's quick-focusing and has OSS to counter handheld camera
shake for sharper images.
Version II brings some modest upgrades to this stalwart lens,
including improved optics for more sharpness and clarity; a more
substantial-feeling physical build that also sheds 8% in weight;
improved image stabilization; support for focusing while shooting
at up to 120 fps; and the ability to use AF while zooming—in case
you want to simultaneously focus and zoom pull during a shot.
