Our Verdict
Sony α6100
Sony ZV-E10
The Sony α6100 and the Sony ZV-E10 are similar APS-C mirrorless cameras. The ZV-E10 is more geared toward vlogging, with no viewfinder and a fully articulated screen. The ZV-E10 also has a slightly newer version of Sony's AF system, has an updated color science to improve skin tones, and includes an e-stabilization feature in video mode. Otherwise, the cameras offer very similar image and video quality and overall performance.

So which one would be better for me? I’m a beginner photographer with a decent experience with my 14 year old sony dsc h-90. With which I do mostly photography in daylight and a little video graphy. Though the video quality is not as great as the photographic capabilities of this camera. Even the night mode is not great.
