Sony ZV-E10

The ZV-E10, released in 2021, takes the a6400's proven 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor and strips out the electronic viewfinder entirely, replacing it with a body built specifically around vlogging and video-first use — a fully articulating screen for self-recording, a dedicated background-defocus button, and a built-in wind-resistant microphone none of Sony's still-photography-focused APS-C bodies include.

The ZV-E10 also lacks in-body image stabilization, relying entirely on lens-based or digital stabilization for handheld video — a real tradeoff against the extra size and cost in-body stabilization would have added to a body built around portability. A dedicated Product Showcase autofocus setting, which quickly shifts focus from a presenter's face to an object held up to the camera, is a genuinely distinctive feature built specifically for review and demonstration-style video content. Sony designed the ZV-E10 with a soft, rounded grip shape and simplified top-plate controls specifically for one-handed operation while vlogging, a genuine ergonomic departure from the more traditional camera-grip shape most of Sony's still-photography-focused APS-C bodies use.
