Sony a6700 vs ZV-E10: what actually changes
What changes for your kit, what stays the same, and the two drawn to one scale. From Sony's published specifications.
What changes
- In-body stabilisation: only the a6700 has it, so every lens is steadied there, including unstabilised primes.
- Viewfinder: only the a6700 has one; with the ZV-E10 you frame on the rear screen, harder in bright sun.
- Weight: the a6700 weighs 150 g more (493 g against 343 g with battery and card).
- Cards: 1 UHS-II slot on the a6700, 1 UHS-I on the ZV-E10.
- Batteries differ: NP-FZ100 and NP-FW50 (about 570 and 440 shots); spares do not swap.
The same on both
- Same Sony E mount: every one of the 158 lenses fits both.
- Similar resolution: 26 and 24.2 MP.
