The Sony ZV-E10 II (ZV-E10 M2) is a APS-C mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (MILC) that was released on July 10, 2024 as the successor to the Sony ZV-E10. The purpose of this iteration was to encourage personalization from creators through additional granular control of the camera's Creative Looks presets and a newly added Cinematic Vlog setting. This camera shipped with the updated user-interface introduced with the Sony α7S III in 2021, while also utilizing the sensor, battery module, and processor from the Sony FX30 and Sony α6700 models.
Specifications Similar to its predecessor, the camera maintains its rotatable LCD screen, built-in microphone, detachable wind muff, and electronic image stabilization (EIS) technology. Additionally, this camera features a 26 MP sensor along with 10-bit recording capabilities and 5 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity. Sony also claimed the improved battery could "last up to 195 minutes per charge" during recording sessions. The camera also contains the BIONZ XR processor. It does not have in-body image stabilization (IBIS), a built-in flash, or mechanical shutter.
Reception PCMag gave the ZV-E10 M2 a 4 out of 5, regarding the camera's updated sensor and the switch to 10-bit color for 4K 60 fps recording. Fisher praises its in-body microphone quality and easy accessibility for new creators through features like Product Showcase alongside the auto focus' speed and accuracy parity with higher end cameras. He also highlights the mechanical shutter from the ZV-E10 M1 by noting that the eventual removal in the M2 led to subpar flash photography results, simultaneously with the lack of IBIS that persisted from the previous generation. Fisher ultimately would recommend the similarly priced Fujifilm X-S20 over the M2, since it has a stabilized sensor, mechanical shutter, and a built-in flash leaving the sacrifice of microphone quality negligible for a better image.
