Sony ZV-E10 Low Light Test vs A6400. Same Sensor; VERY Different Cinematic Results?

Today we test the low light capabilities of the Sony ZV-E10 and compare it with the Sony A6400. While these cameras seem to have the same sensor they can produce very different and surprising results across a bunch of tests, cinematic B roll and vlogging shots.

Dude, your killing it with these test. So in depth with so many examples showing it all. 🔥

this video is the reason why i bought the zv-e10 with sigma 16mm thanks a lot :)

It's weird that A6400's performance is mediocre compared to ZV-E10 in low light, considering that the A6400 has the Back-Illuminated sensor. Did sony improve things on ZV-E10 from the software side?

Also, I have a concern: does the colour depth difference for photography still make the A6400 superior to the ZV-E10 in terms of photography?

Thanks for the video!

[truthseeker]

very well done! now i know i don't need to get the a6400 but rather buy the zve10. thanks alot for the video! Keep it up.

Hi DB, is zv e10 comes with good stabilisation?

[duythanhish]

I appreciate your effort going in-depth with these comparisons. I'm still considering the ZV-E10 over the A6400 but the lack of viewfinder is quite a bummer.

[ClassKicker]

What about color matching these two cameras? I'm colorblind and looking at the ZV-E10 as a second camera.

That 👻 trail is due to noise reduction algorithm having hard time to sync with the image. I have same issues on my smartphone, but there i can dial back noise reduction from high quality to fast. And on Sony you should be able to reduce that noise algorithm sync lag as well by putting it on low or off. You cant however disable it completely, since there is NR algorithm in recording codec as well. I would try to use capture card or external recorder for much better results, but don't expect miracles there. And for that color shift issue i would try to white balance camera at that iso you gonna shoot on. It works on my a6300/a5100.

[PhuocSHORTS]

Great content and i really enjoyable. Can i quest some? With activitive sport photo which ones u recommend, ZV E10 or A6400. Thanks u and keep to gain your channel

[NikandClare]

I find in low light my ZVE10 has some slow down? I’m brand new to cameras so it’s probably my fault entirely.. every setting is automatic so perhaps I need to manually adjust something like the iso?
Using the bundled lens and steady shot tuned off.
Any help / suggestions?

Hi! Good video! I am searching a “budget camera” for shooting tattoo process/macro/some action also, I saw you where speaking here about how the tattoo looks on the ZVe10. Max 1000€ what you recommend for my needs? Thank you in advance!
