Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (46 vs 47.6). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.
Pick the Z f if you care most about in-body stabilization and sensor size. The biggest gaps in its favor are 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, af points, megapixels.
