A global shortage of components seems to be the cause of the delay for the Sony ZV-E10 launch

I got this not only from Sony but also from other manufacturers sources. There seems to be a global shortage and consequent price hike of some components necessary to make cameras. Journalists are having their hands on the Sony ZV-E10 for quite some time now but now have been unofficially told that the announcement should happen in late June (with no date unveiled yet).

Those are the camera specs:

  • 24MP APS-C Sensor
  • Kit lens will be a Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6
  • XAVC-S 4k 25p 100mbps
  • FHD 100p
  • Standard and Active stabilization
  • Auto exposure with face priority
  • Product feature autofocus mode (will lock focus on faces unless there is a product shown closer to the camera)
  • Button for Bokeh mode (priotitizes lowest aperture)
  • Dedicated button to swap between S&Q/Photo/Video
  • USB-c tether direct streaming to pc. (Plug and play)
  • fully articulating screen
  • Sony A5xxx body with no EVF
  • Price around $899 (900 Euro)

This will be Sony’s high end vloggers and streamer camera.

ThePhoBlographer published the full review and concluded:

A 500mm lens captures photos that smaller lenses simply don’t. The Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 Di III VC VXD has great reach. And while heavy, it’s not too heavy to wield without a tripod, thanks to stabilization. Despite making a big zoom compact, the lens does a good job of managing distortion and aberration. The center is sharp, and the colors are great. The long focal length and close focusing capabilities can still produce some good background separation.
But, the corners are soft and, while the center is sharp, at 500mm, you’ll be using higher ISOs. The lens also lacks weather-sealing. And I found the autofocus to be good but not great. (But again, this was partially from the camera body, not the lens itself.)
For about $1,400, the Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 Di III VC VXD does an impressive job of bringing distant subjects in close. While not perfect, I think wildlife photographers and hobbyist sports photographers will really love this lens — I know I did. I’m giving the lens four out of five stars.

And here two video reviews from Julia Trotti and TheSlantedLens:
