Sony Suspends Orders for the New ZV-E10 as Chip Shortage Continues

Sony has announced that it has suspended orders for the ZV-E10, a camera it only announced this past summer. The company has added it to a list of products it has ceased production for as the chip shortage continues.

The ZV-E10 was announced this past July and positioned by Sony as a follow-up to the ZV-1. At the time, Sony told P etaPixel that the ZV-1 sold very well and because of that, a more robust offering for the vlogging market was released in the ZV-E10. The camera is mainly a reconfigured a6100 and features a set of hardware changes that specifically target vlogging: a swing-out screen to self-monitor from in front of the lens, the removal of the electronic viewfinder to make the camera even more lightweight and compact, a directional three-capsule microphone for good audio pickup without adding an external microphone, and a one-touch mode button that replaces the dial to switch from stills for video.

The camera was met with mixed reception. While some found it to be a solid addition to Sony's camera line, PetaPixel 's Ryan Mense was less enthused.

"From an ideological standpoint, the Sony ZV-E10 has the potential to be a great content creation camera. There are some simplifications made that for the right person, can be seen as losing distractions rather than losing features," he wrote in his review. "However, when it comes to execution I did not find the camera to be special in many areas. Except for the most basic of well-lit shots, the autofocus is not as reliable as I would want, and worse, filming with the camera feels like I need to rush to beat the overheating."

That opinion might be more widely held than perhaps anticipated, as Sony has decided to cease orders for the camera and is prioritizing other electronics over it, not even six months after it was announced. As spotted by Sony Alpha Rumors, the company published a notice on its website, citing the lack of availability of parts.

Currently, with regard to digital imaging products, parts procurement is delayed due to the effects of global semiconductor shortages.

Therefore, we will suspend the acceptance of orders from our distributors and customers at the Sony store as follows for specific models with tight supply.

Regarding the resumption of order acceptance, we will consider it while observing the status of parts supply, and will inform you separately on the product information page.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to our customers.

We will do our utmost to deliver the product as soon as possible, and we appreciate your understanding.

The ZV-E10 joins the Alpha 7 II series, the a6400, and the a6100 as cameras that Sony has paused production of. Sony has been prioritizing its more popular cameras and pausing the production of older and weaker selling units, which points to a likely scenario of poor sales for the ZV-E10 in its sub-six-month stint on the market. It is not clear when or if Sony will offer these cameras again once the chip shortage is finally a thing of the past.

Sony Unveils the ZV-E10: A 4K Camera for Self-Filming Vloggers

Sony has announced the ZV-E10, an interchangeable lens APS-C camera that targets vloggers. With a larger sensor and the ability to swap lenses, Sony believes this camera steps up what the ZV-1 started.

While the ZV-1 was largely based on the RX100 pocket cameras, this new ZV-E10 takes many aspects of the Alpha 6100 and reconfigures them to primarily support video creation. Among the modifications are a swing-out screen to self-monitor from in front of the lens, the removal of the electronic viewfinder to make the camera even more lightweight and compact, a directional three-capsule microphone for good audio pickup without adding an external microphone, and a one-touch mode button that replaces the dial to switch from stills for video.

Inside, it uses the same 24.2-megapixel sensor used in the a6100. The camera does not have sensor-shift image stabilization, but it does have digital stabilization for video by way of a small crop. The lens mount accepts any of Sony’s 50-plus E-mount lenses, not to mention countless third-party offerings.

The ZV-E10 can record video up to 4K 30p and also do slow motion in camera in 1080p up to 120 frames per second. Both of these do a maximum bitrate of 100 Mbps. There’s also Real-time Eye AF, face detection, and touch tracking while recording video. On the stills side, there’s subject recognition for humans and animals.

Some of the new tools for vlogging include a variable soft skin effect, background defocus button for one-touch change of aperture, and a product showcase setting where the object closest to the camera will pick up focus with a smooth transition.

Also, what would a YouTuber be without livestreaming? The ZV-E10 can simply plug into a computer or compatible smartphone to work as a webcam. It uses USB Video Class (UVC) and USB Audio Class (UAC) standards for quick plug-and-play compatibility.

The new mirrorless camera uses the Sony NP-FW50 battery and takes a single UHS-I SD memory card through the battery door. Connectivity options include a microphone jack, headphone jack, USB-C port for file transfer and charging, and a micro HDMI port out.

The Sony ZV-E10 will be available in either black or white and be priced at $700 for the body only. There is a kit option available that comes with the Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens that will cost $800.
