Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The α7 IV edges ahead on the Mars Score (52.8 vs 47.6), but the 5.2-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the α7 IV if you care most about megapixels and in-body stabilization. The biggest gaps in its favor are megapixels, in-body stabilization, sensor size.

Pick the ZV-E10 II if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are weight.
