$448
Best flip-screen + face-tracking combo for solo creators at entry price. The original vlogger APS-C standard.
Watch out for
No in-body stabilization. Slightly older processor vs ZV-E10 II. Budget for a gimbal or lens with OSS if you shoot while moving.
Cost of ownership
Entry to Sony E-mount ecosystem. Lens investment ($300-500 over 3 years) carries forward to any future Sony upgrade.
