Sony‘s highly anticipated ZV-E10 II camera is reportedly set to launch on July 10th, alongside a new APS-C zoom lens specifically designed for content creators.
This news comes from reliable source SonyAlphaRumors who claims their sources have confirmed the launch date and some key details about the upcoming camera.
The ZV-E10 II is expected to boast a 26MP APS-C CMOS sensor, similar to the one found in the popular A6700. This sensor upgrade should translate to improved image quality and performance compared to the first-generation ZV-E10.
Rumors also suggest Sony might also introduce new AI-powered features in the ZV-E10 II. This could potentially translate to improved autofocus capabilities, particularly for vloggers who frequently switch between themselves and their subjects.
Sony is reportedly launching a brand new E-mount 16-50mm F/3.5-5.6 OSS II zoom lens alongside the ZV-E10 II. This kit lens seems tailor-made for vloggers, offering a versatile zoom range suitable for capturing a variety of shots, from wide angle scenes to close-up shots. The inclusion of Optical SteadyShot (OSS) stabilization promises smooth, shake-free footage, a must-have for handheld vlogging.
While the ZV-E10 II and its kit lens seem set for a July 10th debut, the fate of the rumored FE 85mm F/1.4 GM II lens is less clear. Sources suggest it’s coming soon, but a July 10th launch remains unconfirmed. This high-end prime lens promises improved image quality and performance over its predecessor, all wrapped in a lighter and more compact design.
For those unfamiliar with the original ZV-E10, it was launched in August 2021 and quickly gained popularity among vloggers. This APS-C camera featured a 24.2MP sensor and offered impressive image quality with good low-light performance. It came with 4K video recording and supports S-Log2, S-Log3, and HLG profiles.
The ZV-E10 also boasted several vlogging-centric features like “Background Defocus” for smooth bokeh transitions and the “Product Showcase Setting” for quick focus shifts between the subject and displayed products. The ZV-E10 was priced at $700 for the body only and $800 with the E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS power zoom lens kit.
