Watch out for
4K tops out at 30fps (there is no 4K/60 mode), though it is oversampled with no crop. For vlogging while moving, the ZV-E10 II is a better choice. For photography and studio video, the R50 wins.
Cost of ownership
RF mount lens ecosystem growing fast. Kit lens is limited but RF 50mm f/1.8 ($199) is the natural first upgrade.
