Shouldn’t you just stick to your phone?

But it’s definitely not for everyone.

Beautiful background blur and enhanced low light capabilities are also made possible by the bigger sensor."

Why did they flip the screen out for this shot?.Sony

You’ve already seen it.

“With the ZV-E10 II, I can use different lenses for different shots.

Exactly what you need for beautiful YouTube video.

For example, it has no physical shutter and no viewfinder.

This means that all the pixels are exposed to light at the same moment.

The alternative, as used by the ZV-E10 II, is to read the pixels off the still-live sensor.

This takes time, with a small but significant delay between the first and last pixels.

The result is something called “rolling shutter,” which can lead to some weird artifacts.

Anything moving in the image can come out bendy, for example.

Fujifilm’s XT-30, for example,comes in a kit with a lens for the same price.

So, unless you know why you want this cool new Sony, you should probably look elsewhere.
