CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE
PHOTO FIEND
The world still needs cameras – how else can people take pictures of their phones? – so here are ideas for photographers and videographers
SONY ZV-E10
Dumpin’ jack flash
When you’re mainly shooting video you don’t really need a viewfinder or a flash, so Sony has ditched both to keep the size down.
Tart me up
Plug the ZV-E10 into your computer and it becomes a webcam, so you can sharpen up livestreams or add real depth to Zoom calls.
Buying for a well-behaved vlogger? Any streamer in Santa’s good books will be hoping to find this social shooter in their stocking. Small enough to fit in a sponsored satchel, the ZV-E10 has the skills to impress every influencer: sharp 4K footage at up to 30fps; excellent autofocus that locks onto humans and animals with fierce determination; and an articulating 3in TFT screen for framing selfies without a backup crew. Creative modes make it a cinch to keep content fresh, while a directional three-capsule mic setup should better capture their thoughtful commentary.
