The ZV-E10 definitely isn’t perfect, but you can easily argue away the things it doesn’t nail when you consider its price tag. If you shoot 4K video and pan a lot, it’s not for you – that jelly effect is just too real. Drop the resolution to 1080p though, or shoot without aggressively panning (or even better, using a fixed tripod) and its value is hard to overstate. Add to the mix its impressive audio capture options – that three-capsule microphone, plus headphone and microphone ports – not to mention the multimedia shoe mount at the top, and it quickly becomes clear that there’s nothing else quite like the ZV-E10 on the market. As a compact APS-C vlogging option, it’s tough to beat.
