Sony Alpha ZV-E10 II + 16-50mm f3,5-5,6 OSS II

The eye-tracking autofocus locks onto my face instantly during walking vlogs, and the image stabilization makes handheld shots look smooth without a gimbal.

The autofocus locks onto my face so fast that I don’t even think about it while filming, which makes solo vlogging feel effortless. The 16-50mm kit lens is compact enough that I can toss the whole setup in a small bag, and the video quality straight out of camera is honestly better than I expected f

Switching from my old kit lens to the 16-50mm OSS II means I can finally get steady handheld shots indoors without cranking the ISO. The active stabilization really helps when I'm walking and filming, though the kit lens could be a bit sharper at the wide end.
