The Z30 is advantageous for existing Nikon DSLR users. Just strap in an FTZ adapter and you can use the best F-mount lenses on it with full functionality.
Thank you Mark for all these well-documented details, it's reassuring that you continue to appreciate the Sony ZVE10 despite its age and its few flaws, but its affordable price and its obvious qualities will be difficult to beat for the competition. Its biggest defect "the rolling-shutter" disappears with the use from Catalyst browse.
I am a beginner knowing not much about camera. Last one was a film camera...... This review is awesome, even tough the concept explained were complex it was understandable. That is what happens when somebody understand extremely well their topic. When you understand well you can explain well. Great job Mark and thank you very much for the hard work you put in this.
The 1080p quality is substantially sharper to me, watching on my monitor, this is important to me because I shoot mostly 50p to give me the option to slow down 50% in post. So Im glad Nikon did well in this. Note: The Nikon Z30 doesn't crop 4K video at 30p, the ZVE10 does. I think from these tests the only thing Id miss in the Z30 is gyro stabilisation - having used it a few times its very handy.
One important feature you missed is “mode and user preset dial” of Nikon Z30. It’s very important for hybrid shooters. Going everytime in settings to change modes in ZV E10 is pain in the ❤.
Solid comparison. I made my way here as I see the Z30 is on sale. I have a Nikon Z6 but want something to pair with it and the Z30 seems like a great choice.
My vote would be on the Nikon Z30 as it has digital IS with less crop than the Sony. The 4K Flat graded profile of Nikon Z30 looks good compared to Sony and Canon in your samples. In the end, who buys this, depends on what lenses a person might already own or brand loyalty. Both Sony and Nikon are close and have great colors. I am guessing Nikon bought their sensor from Sony maybe? Both work as vlogger cameras.
I was on the fence between the two of these, but went with the Nikon z30. The easier touch screen menu and better rolling shutter is what sold me in the end and I couldn't be happier... the images I'm taking are beautiful, and I'm really happy with the video. I need to get a couple more lenses, and I know Sony has the bigger selection when it comes to lenses, but I've seen that Nikon still has a fairly descent selection. I also tend to stick to 1080 video when shooting and it's been handling it very well.
Coming from a ZVE10, and very happy with what that little guy could do, I must say the Z30 video looks better in both 4K and 1080. I would like to hear about the autofocus.
Such a great entertaining and informative comparison. Much appreciated. I'm a Nikon shooter, and while the Z lenses are lacking there's of course the F mount lenses that you can adapt. They'll be noisy though so it's better to use an off camera mic for that. Other than that they both are great.
Mark, I’ve found a workaround for the Sony E10 poor 1080p For 30p, video in 4k and render at 1080. For 60p, video at 120fps with a shutter speed of 1/125th. Render in 60p When you use 120fps, you have 100 mbs and no crop. 1080 crops into the picture very significantly causing it to look soft. 120 uses the full sensor!!
Oddly the Sony looks better for outdoor shots but the Nikon (or Nikpon (4:04) as you had it in one section) does better inside. Both very useable though. The feel of a camera does make a huge difference when you are using it and the Sony just doesn't have that satisfying feel to it compared to my Canon. If the Nikon has a similar feel to it, as I suspect, then that would probably have been the camera that I bought. But the Sony was released first and that's what I bought.
This is a real comparison, thanks a lot man. I’m a Nikon dslr user, focused on action sports, and bit of blogging, and photography also. I’m thinking now in the z30 over the Sony
Bought a Z30 to replace my aging panasonic G6 as my kids performance video camera, couldn't be happier. Great codec, wish it had a headphone jack. Flippy screen and usb-c charging is great. Colors are great
@@ciudadanosdelcosmos I didn't until the other day, pooped out at like 1:30. I however identified one of the reasons nobody talks about and it makes sense. If whatever you are filming is largely white, then it will overheat. Makes sense, so it overheated when I was filming a lecture, mostly pointed at the powerpoint presentation. White is all the colors combined, so all pixel sites are at full gain. So it's not just length of time and environment, it's color you are filming.
@@twoblink Big information you gave..for street photography i am between this and Lumix gx9...i like Ext mic input , " weather sealed" and grip and focus area point items on z30 , but love the retro style, menu , IBIS and variety of lenses of gx9( m4/3). Lumix 12-60 and nikon 16-50 mm for me are the BEST kit lens ever. Dont care too much the 4k video thing( just good 1080p REC with good audio)..have you considered put termic pad behind the lcd screen?
Sounds like just a better user experience with the Z30 having full functioning touchscreen, while the Z is limited to focus touch. If long video in 4K is important without overheating over 30 min., the Sony wins, but 30 min. for 4K for Nikon Z30 is often fine, or go with 2 hours record with full HD 1920. These cameras are apples to oranges on some features, but still close in function. The Nikon has a better high res. back LCD which also makes for great user experience. I would go with Nikon z30, but both cameras are priced similarly with kit lens. Tough choice for new users though if someone is not brand loyal. Despite there being a lot more Sony lenses, how many are the average user going to buy, maybe 2 or 3 at most. Thanks for a great review! This would people buying one or the other.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis This is by FAR the best information on the cameras. AMAZING how you are so clear !!! I love all about Z30 except for this overheating issue as i want to do long 4K. I have been told to get an external power delivery battery and even a fan.. does that make sense, any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for this very clear comparison! I just wanted to add Sony made a software in which you can put your footage and it will fix the rolling shutter for you quite well.
Nikon appears to have better image quality and they are more detailed. Colours are more natural. For example,in the video 10:32 ,Z30 shows you all details in the background. Leaves of trees in Sony are like painting ,pretty blurry. You can not see even the electrical wires in Sony. Look at the paint of red pickup! You can see even other objects in the reflection in Z30. But the red paint is blurry in Sony,it does not reflect anything.
The nikon z30, with a better rolling shutter and no crop, is a higher video ranking to me. I use an external mic which has a headphone jack so I don't need the camera headphone jack. The bigger grip is easier for selfies. Sony has lots of good features that as a beginner video do care too much yet. Both should work well for beginner plug and play. Nikon web cam software you install once and it works like any other computer driver.
@Mark Bennett's Camera Crisis I believe it 😂 I think it'll pay off though man, you did great in my opinion c: And this is only the first video I've seen of yours :D
Nice comparison man. For future stabilization tests, you should walk normally lol. We want to see how it looks when we are walking when vlogging and I don’t think people are going to be walking carefully and stiff while vlogging haha. It’s a better real world test.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis as a vlogger, you’re not focused on how you’re walking. You’re focused on what you’re saying and the story you’re telling. When you see a vlogger filming themselves they are not going to be tip toeing while theyre walking. That’s the whole point of this aggressive electronic stabilization is so that you can walk normally and the shot not be shaking like mad. So if you’re a vlogger watching this test, then you want to see real world what the actually shake looks like not what it looks like when you’re being careful and trying not to shake. Also as a vlogger, the point is not to have a gimbal like shot, it’s just to have a shot that doesn’t make you nauseous when you watch it. It’s expected that there’s still some camera shake when you’re vlogging and walking.
Zv e10 was great about stabilization with the catalyst browse Because it has better result than the warp stabilization in premiere pro With wide variety lens that has no is The zv e10 was a great deal if we use it for walking etc But i love the z30 picture profile
I actually liked both cameras but for me Nikon is ideal because of weather resistance because I shoot video outdoor specifically for camping and with the little M2 gimbal, I actually dont need to worry about stabilization. I still like the zv-10 over z-30 but i choose z-30 because of wheather resistance.
i have both sony zv-1 and zv-e10 i use zv-1 for vlogging cuz zero rolling shutter and use zv-e10 for cinematic footage cuz u can fix rolling shutter in post production i love both cameras and use them all the time and they dont overheat in 4k with high heat setting on big benefit there
It’s like the mini version of what I have . I have a fx30 and an a7siii , I pre ordered the fx30 before release date as an upgrade to my a6500 . 4 days after I got the fx30 a guy was selling his a7siii for 2,100 in mint condition along with a lens with only 357 shutter clicks .
Woooah, that viltrox lense looked terrible! The brick on the building behind you was so fuzzy and out of focus. I liked the kit Lense much better. Though the nikon looked better to me. The nikon looked better on the walking path too, but still didn't have focus on your surroundings. I went ahead and picked up the Sony. I had a few things I really, REALLY wanted: Unlimited, no time limited video recording. 4k (60fps preferred, could settle for 4k @ 30fps), weather sealed, interchangeable lenses. I went ahead and let go of weather sealing in favor of the Sony. So far I'm REALLY enjoying this camera! Though I primarily wanted to use it as a camcorder, I've had a blast pairing it with a macro lense and taking insect pics. Both these cameras look great though.
The background was blurred out on purpose - it's a shallow depth of field that you can achieve with a lower aperture lens. Of course, you can use a higher stop and have everything behind you in focus too is you want like the kit lens
Funny that you mentioned shooting race cars at the end as that is one of the things I need the camera to do. Was heavily leaning to the ZV-E10 before but now seeing the Z30 leaves me with a much more difficult decision to make!
the rolling shutter is pretty bad. so if shooting race cars, you’ll need to shoot in 1080 on the zv-e10 or at least up your shutter speed to something like 1/125 - which might make the footage look a bit shaky
Omg you are AMAZING! Your videos are very informative and well done!!!!! Love how you show examples of footage and here’s the kicker, what made me comment was every question I had as to how “this or that” compares even when I went to search YOU came up! It’s like you had me covered on every comparison that came to mind lol love your content ❤
Hi, I'm looking to buy a camera to start making videos and I have watched a couple videos on your chanel, it is extremely helpful, thank you so much for sharing all you know in such an interesting, pedagogic and funny way!
I want to get the Sony with the wide lens to counteract the worst stabilization and the crop do you think that’s a good decision or just go with the z30 I want to make sit down video and vlog
I'll stick with my zve 10, I'll buy my 3rd one shortly then I'm getting a 6700 bcause of the 10bit, I might go up to fx30 only because of the double SD card slots but I'm not leaving sony, affordable and great quality
I simply couldn't decide so, yep, I got both and my experience with "side-by-each" comparisons was spot on, same as yours Mark. That said, Walter (my white ZV-E10) is still my "got-to", AND I'm an old school Nikon guy.......may have to "gift" the z30 to some lucky, inspiring content creator. Hmmmm.?.?.?
Great comparison champ some good points I switched from Nikon to Sony and my ZV-E10 I am very happy with it love the Catalyst browse stabilization thanks for sharing the video
I have been following you from 2 years when you have 1k subscribers. But I think sony zv10 is a much better camera because you have shown the comparison of this camera with the entry level and high end camera sony is the best
Hi Mark! Thank you so much for such a detailed and interesting comparison. Can I ask you one question? Please tell me which camera you would choose if you need to shoot cool, sharp pictures of wildlife (while traveling) in summer and autumn in 4K 30 FPS? I have an old Nikon D50 and with it a couple of inexpensive lenses (Nikkor 35 2.8 and Tamron 55-200 3.5-5.6, it seems), so I also look at DSLRs. Sample list: 1. Nikon D7500 (the main advantage is the Nikon F mount, which means a bunch of lenses for the future and without any adapters, the crop is confusing when shooting 4K and the fact that it’s a DSLR...); 2. Nikon Z30 (same as Z50 but without a viewfinder); 3. FujiFilm X-T3, but used (the limitation on the shooting duration of 30 minutes is very confusing, the possibility of 4K/60 fps is attractive, and many praise the “Fuji” color and picture); 4. Sony ZV-E10; 5. Sony A6400; If you answer, please provide at least a brief argument as to why this option is chosen. The main thing is to have the highest quality, detailed video, photos - it doesn’t matter. Well, post-processing capabilities are also important so that you can paint with high quality in Adobe Premier... The shooting is non-commercial, everything is just for yourself. Thank you!
Best comparison video on these two little cameras. Love the new music in the video. These cameras are making you look like a Men's Health Model 10:36 haha
Loved the comparison video ! As someone starting out doing both video and photo for personal life documenting use as a student which would you recommend ? Also which screen is brighter on sunnier days ? Thanks !
the Nikon has a better screen for sure. they’ll both be great, I use the Sony’s so I’m more comfortable with them, but I would say the Nikon would be easier to start with
Great video as usual. Very handsome, and the cameras are kinda cute, too. Will do you do a review on the Nikon Z30? I looked on your video tab and I didn't see one specifically for the Z30.
@@howyag7914 It need more test but from what it seems the 4K not fine on theses cameras seems to be the same as the one canon had on it's M50 and M6 II, and theses 4K weren't as good as regular 4K ( and it was cropped on the M50 too like on the R10 60fps ), for most people they though it was most likely some 2.7K or 3K stretched into 4K instead of true 4K. While on nikon they seems to use the full sensor to make 1080P just like they do with the 4K ( and other brand that makes 4K from 6K ) so they have a really nice 1080P. So yeah, on one side you have a " not really 4K " and on the other side you have an " 1080P as good as 4K " ^^
Great video mark! This was a fun/funny one to watch. I’m still unsure on which one to get. I’m looking for either of the two to take with me on a trip to the Mediterranean. My main concern with Sony is the crop when shooting at 4k in selfie mode? and the shaky footage (which I’m thinking that can be eliminated with a gimbal and in catalyst browse at post? Do you think a side angle lens will help with the crop at 4K when vlogging in selfie mode? Appreciate you taking the time to read this. Cheers
Catalyst browse or a gimbal will eliminate shaky footage for sure. There is no crop in 4k at 24 or 25p - 30p has a 10% crop. And if you're using a gimbal, and 24p or 25p, you'll have the widest field of view. If using catalyst, use a 10% crop with all stabilization off.
OMG - The rolling shutter on the Sony is horrible. That being said, as an Nikon Z6II owner, Nikon doesn´t seem to care much about their DX-lens line-up. But you can attach any Z-lens to the Z30 and therefore start building a Z FX line-up and upgrade to fullframe later.
I did that in the auto settings. Those are the straight out of camera normal picture. To get there most out of the cameras, you need to use the flat on the Nikon and the HLG3. The LeemingLUT is a corrective LUT that just shows your colours accurately. But in my next video comparing all the camera for sharpness - I will use the standard picture profiles as well.
I just got the ZVE 10 with the Viltorx 13mm 1.4. To crop in I just use the Electronic zoom in the ZVE 10. Great comparison. What I've been looking for. Thanks
Great comparison, I have both Systems, Sony E and Nikon Z . I like and want both these cameras but If I had to pick one right now it would be the Nikon I think it has better IQ and colors. Maybe it's my eyes but a lot of the sony footage has this green undertone I can't stop seeing. I have the A7c and don't see it in that. So mabe it's just the older sensor. Anyways just throwing it out there , there is an af adapter you can get for the Nikon so you can use all sony e glass. Supposed to be really good. Also, how long can the zv 10 shoot slow motion? I was disappointed when I found out my zv1 can only shoot slow motion for 3 to 5 seconds.. Great videos.
no limit on the slow motion of the zv-e10 if you are recording in 120fps. Check that it’s not a limitation of S&Q with the ZV1. if you record ina 120fps in regular mode, you might not see a time limit
Your videos convinced me that I should buy the ZV E10, so I did. It’s my first ever non-Powershot camera and while I miss that 50x optical zoom (can’t afford lenses for E10) I’m so happy with the image quality and the purchase overall.
you bought both models 🤨 thumbs UP for that Mark 😉 Honestly Nikon look even better than Sony maybe because ot the skin tone.. Can You compare ZV-E1 vs Z-30 or even Z-5 Nikon ?
Hello from Montreal! Your content is AMAZING!!! As someone else mentioned, like them, i am transitioning from i phone to a budget mirrorless camera to make long 4K videos and better photos for my artwork. The overheating is an issue that really is unfortunate as i prefer the feel and ease of use of Z30. I have been told at the camera store that if you have a problem with electronics Sony is very difficult to deal with and they can have more issues than Nikon and that Nikon repairs much easier. I have also been told that a power deliver battery back and/or a fan can help with overheating. Has anyone tried this or any other hacks for overheating? Also i was told i'll need a gimbel for Nikon and not Sony for moving video...
I just bought Nikon Z30, it's now my first interchangeable lens camera, after a 25 year gap in Photography (I used to do film photography)
The Nikon Z30 wins hands down again. Great info.
Now this was a true camera comparison. Man you really tested everything as equal as possible. Thanks a ton!
Thanks!!
I’m so happy whenever I search something and you have a video for it! 😭💗
Nice of you to say!!
Every comparison video I see makes me feel that much better for having chosen the ZV-E10 as my first ever mirrorless camera...
Definitely a great camera
I bought the ZV-E10 with a sigma trio lenses and its awesome. This is my first camera ever. I highly recommend to go for the ZV-E10
Where/when were you able to pick it up?
is there any rolling shutter on slow pans?
Same😊

i have both sony zv-1 and zv-e10 i use zv-1 for vlogging cuz zero rolling shutter and use zv-e10 for cinematic footage cuz u can fix rolling shutter in post production i love both cameras and use them all the time and they dont overheat in 4k with high heat setting on big benefit there
It’s like the mini version of what I have . I have a fx30 and an a7siii , I pre ordered the fx30 before release date as an upgrade to my a6500 . 4 days after I got the fx30 a guy was selling his a7siii for 2,100 in mint condition along with a lens with only 357 shutter clicks .
@@boomboombaby9140 the Fx30 will be next cinema cam i get but for now zv-e10 does very well surprisingly
@@joepatnaude6050 the fx30 is a game changer for sure it’s on par with the a7siii
Woooah, that viltrox lense looked terrible! The brick on the building behind you was so fuzzy and out of focus. I liked the kit Lense much better. Though the nikon looked better to me. The nikon looked better on the walking path too, but still didn't have focus on your surroundings. I went ahead and picked up the Sony. I had a few things I really, REALLY wanted: Unlimited, no time limited video recording. 4k (60fps preferred, could settle for 4k @ 30fps), weather sealed, interchangeable lenses. I went ahead and let go of weather sealing in favor of the Sony. So far I'm REALLY enjoying this camera! Though I primarily wanted to use it as a camcorder, I've had a blast pairing it with a macro lense and taking insect pics. Both these cameras look great though.
The background was blurred out on purpose - it's a shallow depth of field that you can achieve with a lower aperture lens. Of course, you can use a higher stop and have everything behind you in focus too is you want like the kit lens
For Video I will stay with my Sony ZV-E10 for sure !!!!!
Funny that you mentioned shooting race cars at the end as that is one of the things I need the camera to do. Was heavily leaning to the ZV-E10 before but now seeing the Z30 leaves me with a much more difficult decision to make!
the rolling shutter is pretty bad. so if shooting race cars, you’ll need to shoot in 1080 on the zv-e10 or at least up your shutter speed to something like 1/125 - which might make the footage look a bit shaky
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Definitely something to keep in mind, thank you!
Thanks for a great review, I also really liked your review on the zv E10 vs Canon M50!
Oh man a real review thanks!
Good job as always Mark
Omg you are AMAZING! Your videos are very informative and well done!!!!! Love how you show examples of footage and here’s the kicker, what made me comment was every question I had as to how “this or that” compares even when I went to search YOU came up! It’s like you had me covered on every comparison that came to mind lol love your content ❤
glad it was useful!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis yes it was thank you new sub
Great review and comparison! Thank you very much!
Great video! I have the Zve 10 but had no idea about Catalyst Browse… thanks for sharing!!
10:36 …You had me at hair flip!!! Living!!! 😂🙌
Whoa that Viltrox 13mm lens is insane!
it’s so great
imaazing clip! m interested in the high iso noise of these two cameras in low light condition!
Hi, I'm looking to buy a camera to start making videos and I have watched a couple videos on your chanel, it is extremely helpful, thank you so much for sharing all you know in such an interesting, pedagogic and funny way!
Thanks!! I understood most of those words
Brilliant as always! Would be great to have your explanation how to match footage from different cameras in post
it’s why I use the LeemingLUT- the footage matches pretty well right after you use it.
I want to get the Sony with the wide lens to counteract the worst stabilization and the crop do you think that’s a good decision or just go with the z30 I want to make sit down video and vlog
I think getting a Sony 11 and using the image stabilization for vlogging is a good idea. the Nikon overheats too quickly for sit down video
I'll stick with my zve 10, I'll buy my 3rd one shortly then I'm getting a 6700 bcause of the 10bit, I might go up to fx30 only because of the double SD card slots but I'm not leaving sony, affordable and great quality
Great valuable info
I brought Sony ZV-E10 seeing your video love from India..........................................................😊
Thank you Sir
I simply couldn't decide so, yep, I got both and my experience with "side-by-each" comparisons was spot on, same as yours Mark. That said, Walter (my white ZV-E10) is still my "got-to", AND I'm an old school Nikon guy.......may have to "gift" the z30 to some lucky, inspiring content creator. Hmmmm.?.?.?
Great plan!!
Inspiring content creator 🙋🏻♂️
Me too!!
why did u decide to stick with zv e10?
Looking forward to this.
You should choose the zve10 for filming and vlogging, my sincere advice, the nikon z30 is good but it is more about photography
I would agree with this for the way I shoot
I like the image for both of them really, but for gaming videos, vlogs, and pictures sometimes which would you reccomend?
Great comparison champ some good points I switched from Nikon to Sony and my ZV-E10 I am very happy with it love the Catalyst browse stabilization thanks for sharing the video
I have been following you from 2 years when you have 1k subscribers. But I think sony zv10 is a much better camera because you have shown the comparison of this camera with the entry level and high end camera sony is the best
The ZV-E10 is the best value of any camera in my opinion.
Super good vid. Really in-depth tests and love your energy! :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Mark!
Thank you so much for such a detailed and interesting comparison. Can I ask you one question?
Please tell me which camera you would choose if you need to shoot cool, sharp pictures of wildlife (while traveling) in summer and autumn in 4K 30 FPS?
I have an old Nikon D50 and with it a couple of inexpensive lenses (Nikkor 35 2.8 and Tamron 55-200 3.5-5.6, it seems), so I also look at DSLRs.
Sample list:
1. Nikon D7500 (the main advantage is the Nikon F mount, which means a bunch of lenses for the future and without any adapters, the crop is confusing when shooting 4K and the fact that it’s a DSLR...);
2. Nikon Z30 (same as Z50 but without a viewfinder);
3. FujiFilm X-T3, but used (the limitation on the shooting duration of 30 minutes is very confusing, the possibility of 4K/60 fps is attractive, and many praise the “Fuji” color and picture);
4. Sony ZV-E10;
5. Sony A6400;
If you answer, please provide at least a brief argument as to why this option is chosen.
The main thing is to have the highest quality, detailed video, photos - it doesn’t matter. Well, post-processing capabilities are also important so that you can paint with high quality in Adobe Premier...
The shooting is non-commercial, everything is just for yourself.
Thank you!
Best comparison video on these two little cameras. Love the new music in the video. These cameras are making you look like a Men's Health Model 10:36 haha
🤣🤣
Loved the comparison video ! As someone starting out doing both video and photo for personal life documenting use as a student which would you recommend ? Also which screen is brighter on sunnier days ? Thanks !
the Nikon has a better screen for sure. they’ll both be great, I use the Sony’s so I’m more comfortable with them, but I would say the Nikon would be easier to start with
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Alright, thanks a lot !
Absolute great comparison videos! Which camera would be best for workout content?
Probably the zv-e10 because it won’t overheat in long sessions
Great video as usual. Very handsome, and the cameras are kinda cute, too. Will do you do a review on the Nikon Z30? I looked on your video tab and I didn't see one specifically for the Z30.
Yes - I’m going to do a straight review for the Nikon really soon.
great video, in specs only the sony wins but in real life usage nikon is just as good and I didnt know what to get. rolling shutter is a bummer
NIce explanation buddy.
Great work Mark. Please try to do a comparison between Sony Zve10 and Fuji Xs10 if possible. Thanks
trying to get in in
Just got the ZVE10 yesterday based on all of your great videos. Got the kit lens, 16/1.4, and 56/1.4.
Now go create brilliant images.
Great setup!!
Fund me with any amount contributing to get another lens for my project it cost me a fortune just to get d zve10
Damn, the nikon's 1080 looks nearly as good as canon's 4K in the "not fine" mode :p i think slow-mo fans would love that little Z30.
Really?? R7 4k not fine = z30 fhd????
@@howyag7914 It need more test but from what it seems the 4K not fine on theses cameras seems to be the same as the one canon had on it's M50 and M6 II, and theses 4K weren't as good as regular 4K ( and it was cropped on the M50 too like on the R10 60fps ), for most people they though it was most likely some 2.7K or 3K stretched into 4K instead of true 4K.
While on nikon they seems to use the full sensor to make 1080P just like they do with the 4K ( and other brand that makes 4K from 6K ) so they have a really nice 1080P.
So yeah, on one side you have a " not really 4K " and on the other side you have an " 1080P as good as 4K " ^^
@@malekith13 yeah i think i also agree the canon r7 and r10
Just 4k mode is like 2.7k sth..
4k fine mode is good
Similar to sony 4k i think…
Thank You So much For that Comparison , Love form India
Man i missed your zoomed in sharpness test as you have did in your older videos please bring back that test
will do. I’ll do another video and I’ll include it.
Yes please include!!
Great video mark! This was a fun/funny one to watch. I’m still unsure on which one to get. I’m looking for either of the two to take with me on a trip to the Mediterranean. My main concern with Sony is the crop when shooting at 4k in selfie mode? and the shaky footage (which I’m thinking that can be eliminated with a gimbal and in catalyst browse at post? Do you think a side angle lens will help with the crop at 4K when vlogging in selfie mode? Appreciate you taking the time to read this. Cheers
Catalyst browse or a gimbal will eliminate shaky footage for sure. There is no crop in 4k at 24 or 25p - 30p has a 10% crop. And if you're using a gimbal, and 24p or 25p, you'll have the widest field of view. If using catalyst, use a 10% crop with all stabilization off.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you so much!
I’m using the ZV-E10 right now. Switched from the Sony a6400. I just really like Sony cameras. One day I’ll be able to step up to a big boy Sony, lol.
Great review! 🙂
Thanks! 😊
OMG - The rolling shutter on the Sony is horrible. That being said, as an Nikon Z6II owner, Nikon doesn´t seem to care much about their DX-lens line-up. But you can attach any Z-lens to the Z30 and therefore start building a Z FX line-up and upgrade to fullframe later.
Could you recommend a flash or speed lite for the Nikon Z30
USB C in Z30
Great video just one suggestion maybe not use your LUT let us see the normal picture please
I did that in the auto settings. Those are the straight out of camera normal picture. To get there most out of the cameras, you need to use the flat on the Nikon and the HLG3. The LeemingLUT is a corrective LUT that just shows your colours accurately. But in my next video comparing all the camera for sharpness - I will use the standard picture profiles as well.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thanks
I just got the ZVE 10 with the Viltorx 13mm 1.4. To crop in I just use the Electronic zoom in the ZVE 10. Great comparison. What I've been looking for. Thanks
Good stuff!
Great comparison, I have both Systems, Sony E and Nikon Z . I like and want both these cameras but If I had to pick one right now it would be the Nikon I think it has better IQ and colors. Maybe it's my eyes but a lot of the sony footage has this green undertone I can't stop seeing. I have the A7c and don't see it in that. So mabe it's just the older sensor. Anyways just throwing it out there , there is an af adapter you can get for the Nikon so you can use all sony e glass. Supposed to be really good. Also, how long can the zv 10 shoot slow motion? I was disappointed when I found out my zv1 can only shoot slow motion for 3 to 5 seconds.. Great videos.
I don't think there's a limit for slo-mo on ZV-E10.
no limit on the slow motion of the zv-e10 if you are recording in 120fps. Check that it’s not a limitation of S&Q with the ZV1. if you record ina 120fps in regular mode, you might not see a time limit
I’m confused Sony zv e10 or Nikon z30 ,for UA-cam food channel
Your videos convinced me that I should buy the ZV E10, so I did. It’s my first ever non-Powershot camera and while I miss that 50x optical zoom (can’t afford lenses for E10) I’m so happy with the image quality and the purchase overall.
you bought both models 🤨 thumbs UP for that Mark 😉 Honestly Nikon look even better than Sony maybe because ot the skin tone..
Can You compare ZV-E1 vs Z-30 or even Z-5 Nikon ?
Hello from Montreal! Your content is AMAZING!!! As someone else mentioned, like them, i am transitioning from i phone to a budget mirrorless camera to make long 4K videos and better photos for my artwork. The overheating is an issue that really is unfortunate as i prefer the feel and ease of use of Z30. I have been told at the camera store that if you have a problem with electronics Sony is very difficult to deal with and they can have more issues than Nikon and that Nikon repairs much easier. I have also been told that a power deliver battery back and/or a fan can help with overheating. Has anyone tried this or any other hacks for overheating? Also i was told i'll need a gimbel for Nikon and not Sony for moving video...
Can I use the same UHS2 card for both? I have the Sansisk Pro 128GB V60
so sony it is... Looks great with the gyro. Will it fix the rolling shutter to?
Yes it will
Thank you sir 💯🤩
That's call comparison
.. 👍👍👍
