Our Verdict

Sony ZV-E10 II

Canon PowerShot V1

The Sony ZV-E10 II and the Canon PowerShot V1 are both very capable vlogging cameras, and the right choice depends on whether you want interchangeable lenses. The Sony's APS-C sensor works with a wide range of E-mount lenses, and its tracking autofocus in photos is much more reliable. Its battery also lasts considerably longer, and it can record 4k at up to 120 fps with a slight crop. On the other hand, the Canon is more compact than the Sony's body alone. It also shoots much faster bursts with its electronic shutter, handles noise better, and is more comfortable to hold.
