Sony announces the 2nd generation of its ZV-E10 alongside a new E PX 16-50mm OSS II lens. The second generation Sony mirrorless camera uses the same 26MP sensor as the Sony FX30 and a6700. It also has various enhancements over its predecessor, including speedier performance and compatibility with Sony's small cine-focused cameras. The Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II lens is an update to the previous Sony APS-C kit zoom.
The said 26MP APS-C Exmor R CMOS sensor
enables users to shoot at UHD 4K 60 fps and FHD 120 fps video. It also features
a 3-inch touchscreen LCD with vertical support and rapid hybrid phase detection
up to 759 points. In addition, the new
camera features Real-Time Eye AF and tracking, backdrop defocus, focus breathing
correction, a directional 3-capsule microphone, and a windscreen.
The camera features a new BIONZ XR
processor, which provides up to 8x faster performance than the previous
version. Sony says the ZV-E10 II is on par with its top-quality APS-C cameras.
The camera's focusing architecture includes an AI processing engine for
enhanced topic detection, among other amazing features. The device also offers
up to 30 percent more battery life and performance than the first model. As a
testament, Sony noted the camera can record continuously for an entire day.
Finally, it is paired with a 16-55mm
f/3.5-5.6 OSS II kit zoom which offers a 24-75mm equivalent range to cater to
several situations. It has rapid focusing and uses the OSS to produce crisper
photos. The new lens is lighter than the first version and offers better
picture stabilization and focus while shooting. It is also possible to focus
and zoom while shooting a picture.
Sony ZV-E10 II starts at USD 999.
