The Vlog camera market has doubled since the launch of ZV-1 in June 2020
BCN+R has an article on sales trends of cameras for Vlogs by manufacturers. This is the Google translated summary made by Digicameinfo:
- There is a category that attracts attention in the struggling camera market. A camera for Vloggers. Sony took the lead. In June 2020, we released the compact camera “VLOGCAM ZV-1” equipped with a 1-inch sensor. created a new market. After that, Panasonic and Nikon entered the market. In the index where June 2020 sales volume is set to 1, the market expanded to 1.88 in September, nearly doubling.
- The impact of the ZV-1 release was great. In June 2020, the first month of its release, it ranked first in the overall camera sales ranking. Ranked 7th in sales volume. After that, in the compact camera category, it became a big hit, maintaining the number one position in terms of sales for 14 consecutive months from the month of its release.
- Sony’s “ZV-E10” took over the popularity. In the first month of its release in July 2021, the unit price was 80,500 yen. Despite being an interchangeable-lens camera equipped with an APS-C sensor, it was nearly 20,000 yen cheaper than the compact ZV-1, and it was also a big hit.
- Following Sony, Panasonic also launched the “LUMIX G100” in August 2020, entering the market early. Although the specifications were similar to the ZV-E10 released by Sony later, sales were sluggish.
- Nikon entered the market in August with a bullish price of over 110,000 yen “Z30”. So far, it’s sold as well as Panasonic’s G100. Considering the price, it’s a decent start.
- As of September, there are only 4 models of cameras for Vloggers, but sales account for 7.4% of the total camera market. It has become too big to ignore. Cameras for Vloggers can be expected to become even more exciting in the future.
Tamron 20-40mm FE review by SonyAlphaBlog: “ideal only if you really need the variability of a zoom”
The lens at BHphoto. Adorama. Amazon US&EU. FotoKoch.
SonyAlphaBlog tested the Tamron 20-40mm FE lens and concluded:
The Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 Di III VXD (999 euros) , is proposing a usual zoom range that will suit vlogger , and photographer who mix street and architecture/landcsape and a tiny bit of portraits. It will also be an ideal complement to a Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD
Its performances are very good overall with very good sharpness especially at 20mm but nothing excellent neither specially in the corners that are a little bit weak at 40mm wide open. For best results across the frame you will need to close down to F5.6 . Bokeh is very good, as well as color rendering and smoothness of background blur
The images are automatically corrected in Lightroom for distortion and vignetting. Resistance flare is a bit average
In term of competition there is no direct equivalent the best replacement are either
- The Sony PZ 16-35mm F4 G deliver superior performance (sharpness, ergonomics) with a wider focal range but do not have the F2.8 aperture
- The Duo Tamron 20mm F2.8 (300 euros) + Tamron 35mm F2.8 (300 euros), that offer superior sharpness
- The Duo Sony 24mm F2.8 G (600 euros) + Sony 40mm F2.5 G (600 euros) that offers superior sharpness, ergonomics color rendering and AF speed but less versatility
The Tamron 20-40 will be ideal only if you really need the variability of a zoom , a F2.8 and this specific focal range and will be more at ease on a A7IV (33Mpix) than on a A7RV (61Mpix)
