A new home with the Sony ZV-E10.
Switched because of better and cheaper lens. Came from the R10 and don't regret it. Still love Canon but this is definitely the next step in my photography and cinematography journey.
And hello Pixelfed!

Sony Suspends a7C and a6600, Permanently Ends a7 II and a6100
The chip shortage continues to hamper Sony's ability to produce cameras. Today, the company has announced that it is no longer accepting orders for the Alpha 7C and a6600 and has "completed production" on the Alpha 7 II and a6100.
Sony published an apology note on its Japanese website and has noted four cameras are either temporarily suspended or will no longer be produced to an already relatively long list of previously discontinued or suspended products.
"Currently, with regard to digital imaging products, parts procurement is delayed due to the effects of global semiconductor shortages," the company says. "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."
In early November, Sony stopped accepting orders for the Alpha 7 II and the a6100, but today has announced that since there is "no prospect of future parts supply," it has decided to permanently end production of both cameras. It and the a6100 have been designated as "production completed." It is still possible to find these cameras for sale through dealers, but the remaining stock is all that will remain of these cameras.
The a6600 and the Alpha 7C have been moved to the "suspended" phase, and Sony is no longer accepting orders for either camera. The two join the ZVE-10 that was similarly designated on December 3.
The Alpha 7C isn't quite as recent of a release as the ZV-E10 was, but it is still relatively new. The camera was announced in September of 2020. The a6600 is about a year older and was announced in August of 2019.
Because Sony normally likes to continue manufacturing older series cameras for years after they have been "replaced" by newer models, the global chip and parts shortage appears to be hitting it harder than the likes of Canon or Nikon. While it's true that all three are struggling to make enough products to fill store shelves, Sony has been forced to discontinue production on even relatively new cameras in an effort to prioritize other products in its line.
In just the last two months, Sony has been forced to suspend orders or cease all production of eight total camera products, while the availability of many camera products it does continue to manufacture are becoming more difficult to find.

Global Chip Shortage Appears to Be Hurting Sony Significantly
While the global chip and parts shortage has made the availability of new camera equipment scarce across the board and most manufacturers have had difficulty meeting demand, Sony may be the one feeling the biggest pinch.
According to a report from CNET Japan which was spotted by DigiCame-Info, Sony's market share in Japan took a massive hit in recent months as it has been unable to produce enough camera equipment to keep store shelves stocked.
Of note, the report claims Sony's ZV-E10 sold well due to its relatively low price, but the company was forced to suspend manufacturing of the new camera due to lack of parts availability. Prior to the halt, Sony temporarily had the top share of the market before taking a nosedive and ceding the top spot to Canon.
The graph on the left below is titled "Sales Volume Share" and the two lines in red and black denote Canon and Sony respectively. Sony was doing well through September before a massive falloff in October and November. Canon appears to be less affected and has seen its sales volume share grow in that same time period.
The graph on the right shows the average per-unit price of cameras ordered, and the black line with yellow triangles represents Nikon. Due to the Z9, the average price of cameras ordered from the company jumped significantly in November, which shows the popularity of the new flagship camera which has still not been released to the public. Looking at that same graph, Sony's average price has been increasing steadily at the same rate its sales volume share has collapsed, which seems to indicate the company is selling its more expensive cameras, just at a far lower volume than it was moving cameras like the ZV-E10. Somewhat of note is that Canon's unit price has hardly fluctuated even amidst the company's sales volume growth, which indicates the R3 hasn't had much of a sales impact in Japan.
Digicame-Info compared the top-selling cameras in BCN's rankings over the last few months and found that the Sony a6400 and the ZV-E10 both led the way for Sony before sales fell off a cliff in September, so it appears the impact of the supply shortage for its lower cost cameras was extremely significant.
What is not particularly clear is if this manufacturing choice is because there are very specific parts for the ZV-E10 that Sony could no longer procure or if it is because the company chose to focus on its higher-end cameras over it. From a pure sales volume perspective, it would have made more sense to continue to produce the ZV-E10 over cameras like the Alpha 1 or Alpha 7R IV since the company was clearly selling more of them, at least in Japan.
On that last note, these numbers only reflect sales in Japan, so the company's global sales and reach may or may not coincide with this data. Still, it's a strong indication that of all the camera companies, Sony has felt the pinch of the global parts shortage the most.

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.

Who is the Sony ZV-E10 For, And Should You Buy It?
Sony's ZV-E10 is one of the newest offerings from the company and was positioned as a vlogging camera perhaps more than it is a photography-focused one. So does it do a good job as one, and should you buy it?
In this detailed review, photographer and video producer Kevin Raposo breaks down sixteen different factors relating to the functionality and feature set of the camera. The review includes a number of different tests conducted with the autofocus, electronic image stabilization, built-in microphone, and even the battery charging speed. To start with, he looked at the design of the camera, which is admittedly not particularly unique.
"If you are already familiar with any of the a6000 cameras (such as the a6400, the a6500, or the a6600), you'll find yourself right at home with the ZV-E10," Raposo tells PetaPixel. "The design, ergonomics, and even the sensor itself has been pulled directly from those cameras."
Like PetaPixel noted in its review of the camera, the ZV-E10 does make a few design changes that separate it from the rest of the Alpha line.
"The ZV-E10 differentiates itself with a number of features specific to video production – including a dedicated record button, a background blur button, proxy recording, a fully-articulating screen, and even a tally light on the front of the camera," Raposo says.
"All of this comes packaged at the extremely appealing price of only $698 for the camera body, or $798 with the 16-50mm kit lens."
That low price is appealing but is not without downsides. In addition to no in-body image stabilization (it does offer electronic stabilization, but at a cost as seen above), the camera makes other concessions.
"Of course, there are a few things to be aware of: the camera itself has no viewfinder, and the build quality is what you might expect at this lower price."
Before picking up a ZV-E10, Raposo recommends taking a close look at the intended use case. The camera has a very specific target market, and outside of that small niche, it can look less appealing when compared to other options. He says that complete beginners, vloggers, and content creators are all likely to be happy with what the ZV-E10 offers. However, those who are not specifically those three types of people will not likely find what they are looking for with this camera, and should look at other options.

China Fines Sony ¥1M for Announcing a Camera on a Controversial Date
Sony has been fined 1 million yuan by the Chinese government for "damaging the dignity of the Chinese state" for advertising an announcement for a new product last July, on the day historically associated with the start of the Sino-Japanese War.
Back in July, Sony postponed the launch of what would eventually be revealed as the ZV-E10 when it faced backlash from China over the chosen launch date. The announcement was originally planned for July 7 which was seen as an insult to the Chinese as it was the 84th anniversary of Japan's invasion of China that would spark the Sino-Japanese War and bring World War II to Asia. The war would last for eight years.
Sony published a teaser for the event on its Alpha Universe website as well as its YouTube channel that showed an announcment time of July 7 at 10 AM eastern, but that later was replaced by a message that said the announcement had been postponed.
Sony Europe told the press that the postponement was due to lack of parts availability, but the real reason was due to backlash the company had received out of China. Sony eventually published a statement on China's Weibo social network to apologize for the choice of date and for causing public confusion and anger.
Our company attaches great importance to the concerns of the majority of netizens!
Our company originally planned to release new products at the domestic professional exhibition on 7-10 of this month, and broadcast the new product introduction video online on the first day of the exhibition.
Due to our poor work arrangements, we have caused misunderstanding and confusion in the selection of the date.
We apologize for this and cancel the related event arrangements as soon as possible!
Thank you for your continued support!
Sony would eventually push the announcement to July 27 when it officially revealed the ZV-E10.
Japan's Kyodo News reports that the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau in Chaoyang District in Beijing issued the fine of 1 million yuan (about 17.7 million yen or about $156,400) to the Chinese division of Sony for "damaging the dignity of the Chinese state" over the incident.
