Nikon Z30 vs Sony ZV-E10

The Nikon Z30 and the Sony ZV-E10 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Sony ZV-E10 if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (24.2 against 20.9 MP) and more lenses made for it in this guide (403 against 233). On these specs the Nikon Z30 has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Nikon Z or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
