Why I Still Use the ZV-E10 in 2025 (Even With the FX30)

The Sony ZV-E10 may be a four-year-old camera, but in 2025 it’s still an essential part of my content creation workflow. Even though I’ve upgraded to the FX30, the ZV-E10 handles a ton of secondary work: overhead shots, product inserts, thumbnails, extra angles and even acting as a convenient USB webcam for livestreams and tutorials.

This isn’t a review or a recommendation to buy. Quite the contrary, it's about using what you already have available to you. It’s an honest look at how it continues to serve real utility flanking my main setup rather than competing with it. You’ll see how it stays lightweight and dependable for B-roll, remains reliable under repeated use for thumbnails, avoids overheating when I offload A-roll duties to the FX30 and still gives me framing flexibility without tying up my phone or tying me down with a capture card rig.

If you’re planning a multi-camera studio or just trying to make gear work efficiently, this is about choosing the right tool for the right role, not chasing novelty for novelty’s sake. #ZVE10 #ContentCreation #VideoCreation
