What do people want in a small, portable camera? A fixed prime lens and a camera high on style, like Fuji’s X100VI that I reviewed earlier this year? Or Sony’s own ZV-1 II camera with a fixed zoom lens? But Sony also has the third option covered, and that is a compact vlogging oriented camera with a more typical interchangeable lens mount. The Sony EV-10 II is Sony’s second generation vlogging specific interchangeable lens APS-C mirrorless camera.  The main improvements are the upgrade to the 26MP sensor found in the a6700 (from the 24M sensor of the original EV-10), improved autofocus, much more robust video specs, and an upgrade to the common NP-FZ100 battery found in most of Sony’s better cameras. Does all of this add up to a camera worth considering? Find out my full thoughts in my video review below , read my full text review, or just enjoy the photos in the galleries below.

Thanks to Sony for sending me a review loaner of this camera. As always, this is a completely independent review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

So what are the key features here?

• 26MP APS-C Exmor R CMOS Sensor
• UHD 4K30 and Full HD 120p Video
• 3.0″ Touchscreen LCD, Vertical Support
• 759-Point Fast Hybrid Phase Detection
• Up to 11-fps Shooting, ISO 100-32000
• Real-Time Eye AF and Tracking
• Background Defocus, Product Showcase
• Focus Breathing Compensation
• Directional 3-Capsule Mic and Windscreen
• E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens

And what are the main things that are missing that people will be looking for?

• No viewfinder
• No IBIS

Bottom line: at a price tag of right under $1000 for the camera alone ($1100 with the PZ 16-50mm lens), this is the cheapest camera to get Sony’s new 26MP sensor and updated AF system. My experience says that you can get cheaper CAMERAS from other brands, but if you are interested in using more than one or two lenses, nothing beats Sony E-mount for lens selection and thus lower costs in the long run.
