Introduction:

Hey y’all, welcome to our little slice of the internet! We’re Craig and Melissa Bickham, a Southern couple with a knack for creating and a passion for sharing. Our digital homesteads, Small Town Wreath Shop and With the Bickhams, are where we weave our love for tradition with a modern twist. Whether we’re tying bows on wreaths, whipping up some down-home cooking, or sharing our latest DIY project, we’re all about keeping it real and heartfelt. And guess what? We’ve just dipped our toes into the vlogging waters with our shiny new Sony Alpha ZV-E10 camera!


Why We Chose the Sony Alpha ZV-E10:

In the quest to find the perfect partner for our vlogging debut, we struck gold with the Sony Alpha ZV-E10. It’s the perfect match for us Southern folks who like to keep things simple yet don’t want to skimp on quality. This little gem is as user-friendly as it gets, making it a breeze for us to capture our homely shenanigans in crisp, clear video.


Our Unboxing Hoedown:

Peeling back the layers of the Sony Alpha ZV-E10’s box felt like opening a treasure chest. Inside, the camera greeted us with its sleek, intuitive design, promising to be the trusty sidekick in our vlogging adventures. It was a tangible piece of our dreams, ready to record every laugh, stitch, and stir in our daily lives.

Camera Features That Have Us Hollering:

Now, let us tell y’all about the features that have us as excited as a kid at a county fair. The ZV-E10 boasts a 24.2MP APS-C sensor and 4K video recording, ensuring our vlogs are as sharp as a new pair of scissors on ribbon-cutting day. The flip screen is a godsend for framing our shots when we’re in front of the camera, making sure we’re always ready for our close-up.


Accessorizing Our Storytelling Rig:

No Southern belle or gentleman steps out without their accessories, and neither does our camera:

  • The SmallRig cage is the camera’s sturdy hoop skirt, giving it protection and added flair.
  • The Rode Video Mic Go 2 is like the sweetest songbird, capturing our voices and the rustle of magnolia leaves.
  • The Sony Wireless Bluetooth shooting grip is our trusty steed, helping us get those smooth shots.
  • And the Zhiyun Crane M3 gimble keeps our storytelling as steady as a porch swing in a gentle breeze.
  • Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 lens
