Sony ZV-E10 ILCZV-E10L/B E10L/W Price in the US

Sony has just launched the ZV-E10 Vlog Camera in the US. This is the first model in the interchangeable lens vlog camera Alpha series. Sony ZV-E10 has a launch price tag of $700.00 USD ( body only – Aug 2021 Price ) in the US. It will be available to pre-order online from Amazon US, B&H, Adorama, etc in the coming days. You can buy these in 2 colors – White ( ILCZV-E10L/W ) and Black ( ILCZV-E10L/B ). These models ships with a good old 16-50mm power zoom lens ( Combo Price: $800.00 USD ). You can also buy this body only ( ILCZV-E10/B / ILCZV-E10/W ).

Update: You can now Pre-order Sony ZV-E10 Vlog Camera from Amazon US.

Sony ZV-E10 comes with an APS-C size 24.2-megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor which is probably the same sensor we saw on the Alpha A6100 launched a while back. Since this is made for vlogging, Sony has equipped this model with a fully articulating LCD panel. This camera doesn’t come with an EVF but has a multi-interface hot shoe up the top allowing you to add a wide range of Sony accessories like shotgun mics or even an EVF..

Sony is bringing a lot of Vlog features we saw on the other Vlog camera ZV-1 to this new camera. You get features like Background Defocus, Product Showcase mode, etc. There is a big record button at the top, along with a new slowmo button.

The highest resolution this camera can record is 4K @ 30p ( XAVC S 4K – oversampled from 6k w/ full pixel readout – no pixel binning ). You can also record Full HD slow-mo videos up to 120fps. Since this is aimed at vloggers, Sony has many of the picture profiles like S-Log2, S-Log3, HLG, etc to give more creative control over the videos you shoot.

ZV-1 is the first camera in Sony’s compact vlog camera lineup. It has a lot of features in common with the RX100 series of cameras. ZV-1 has a 1-inch sensor offering better overall photos and videos than your smartphone. The bigger the sensor, the better the image quality is.

It comes with features like hybrid Auto Focus and Eye AF to nail focus whether you are vlogging or taking landscape videos and photos. Face-priority Exposure built-in can help you take videos with your face always exposed perfectly no matter what the surrounding lighting is.

Sony has build in a feature called Product Showcase Mode which lets the camera grab fast and accurate focus to anything you show in front of the lens. This would come in handy when you are doing unboxing videos and want to show a close up view of the product.

There is also a Bokeh Switch mode, which opens up the aperture to the widest to get a more shallow depth of field.
