Sony ZV-1 Digital Camera for Content Creators, Vlogging and YouTube with Flip Screen, Built-in Microphone, 4K HDR Video, Touchscreen Display, Live Video Streaming, WebcamThere is a whole mess of professional reviews of this camera out there. I dont want to be "yet another" review that reveals the same info.I'm a hobby shooter that has a sony A7III and a bunch of lenses. I primarily shoot action photos in low iso (concerts, stage lit sports/art (dance), hockey) -- generally indoors. I like high iso clean photos. I also do take short 10 second video clips and make montages with the footage for my childrens' sports clubs.I grew tired of taking my SLR and lenses with me to travel and to events local and far. In fact , a lot of venues i shoot do not allow detachable lens cameras inside -- unless i have media passes which i only have access to in a handful of gigs. So for the rest of the venues? I want a point&shoot camera, inexpensive, that does EXCELLENT video and photo, and has the be SIGNIFICANTLY better than my pixel 7pro to that it justifies the inconvenience of taking a camera , rather than my phone.Is this you? read on.So basically long story short1. this takes AMAZING stills. even at 12800 iso shot raw, this thing with 1" sensor STILL takes AMAZING shots in 2023 even if this is an older model (newer one is mark II). This older model has 24-70 with f/1.8-2.8 which has a longer range than newer MARK II 18-50 f/1.8-4. I guess theres less wide angle but thats not as important to me (maybe it is for you). Maybe the sensor tech is better on MARKII but i have to say, Just look at my picture comparison. The picture is between RAW iso12800 with NO processing, versus Lightroom denoise at 40%. You can shoot at high iso and get some OK shots but then post processing, the image is absolutely amazing and still usable because the iso grain on sony sensor is totally usable.2. Video is fantastic. why? because its clean, and AF during video is far superior to any camera phone. This is what makes the biggest different to me. also the multi mic is far superior to my phone camera. Also i cant use my hotshoe and input better mic audio with it if i wanted.For those two reasons, I am OK with the inconvenience of taking this point and shoot camera over just pixel7pro. Because it just produces much better stills and video, and there is a minor cost to taking another device over just the phone. If the venue allows for SLR? then by far i'd rather take my full sensor A7 III camera.The only little caveats for you to know?1. i'm used to sony UI so i can nav pretty quick to get what i want but for a new sony user, the UI is horrible. I MUCH prefer canon/nikon UI over sonys. hands down. I dont know why sony doesnt just learn from them and improve it.2. this older gen zv1 has partial touch sensitive ui ... mainly its wheel and button driven navigation,. I believe the newer MARKII zv1 has a better touch screen support though.3. no EVF or pop up flash..... obviously ... but i RARELY use that anyway4. SONY's mobile "Edge" app is horrible. but i have to say, CAnon's and nikon's is equally horrid too. So the "instant" publishing to social, is just as bad as any other company's phone app. The bottom line is, at least u can pick your footage and tranfer them to your phone if you want instant social media uploading. it works but it's super clunky.In the end, considering the fact that you can get this camera under 900 taxes in (amazon warehouse has some great deals!) --- this is still among the best point&shoot cameras that money can buy in 2023 that does everything BETTER than the latest top camera phones and therefore worth the hassle of bringing with you alongside your phone.So thats my super quick review. hope it helps

I bought this camera 4 years ago, and still use it to this day. I see no reason to change it. I do sit down videos and have done vlogs in the past. The quality is great for me. The only annoying part is you can't change the battery (or sd card) while it's on it's tripod as the access is blocked. Since i do sit down videos now, i simply have an external battery plugged in while i film. Filming in 4k allows about 30 minutes of filming on one battery and i often do longer than that. I'm not a pro, i use it in a very simply manner, but for my needs, this camera is perfect, and also easy to compact / easy to travel with (i move a lot)

Awesome camera for my YouTube videos, this is a industry standard for the use!

I followed the Sony ZV-1 trend and bought it as a daily portable camera.Overall, the footage is really good, and easy to carry (can fit into your pocket).It's better than my iPhone 13, and 14 Pro Max (footage quality), it has built-in Beauty Effect, and you can set it to LOW and get a great "filtered" look.HOWEVER...THE HEATING ISSUE drove me a bit crazy.I don't know how people can say this camera can record up to 30-40m on 4k.My max recording time on 4k 24p & 30p is around 10-12m before the camera shuts off due to high temperature.I've done so much research, I set the camera temperature setting to HIGH and switched from 30p to 24p, but still didn't work.People mentioned you can buy a separate cage + build a fan on it to prevent overheating issues. (I mean, that defeat the purpose of the portability, doesn't it?)I don't know why in this modern age, Sony still can't solve their camera overheating problem (for over a decade).If you don't want to face the overheating issue, I recommend recording only with 1080p.Also, Keep in mind it does have a "crop" factor, especially with SteadyShot activated.

This camera is now my daily driver for youtube and family videos. Sony has left no stone unturned when it comes to the video quality of this camera. Yes it is my first mini DSLR-ish camera and I love its easy of being able to slide into my pocket. The still images may not be as superb as high-end iPhones with multiple lenses, but Videos is where this camera outshines any and every phone on this planet.Easily links up to my existing equipment and delivers superb results when on low budget and being highly motile.

Great quality. Lots of options for video and photos.

Dudé mucho, pero valió la pena. Es de plástico pero si se siente de calidad, incluso está pesada.El tamaño es muy bueno, no necesitas una maleta extra para transportarla.Es muy sencilla de utilizar y las funciones automatizadas para el desenfoque y presentación de producto funcionan muy bien.La pila en verdad le dura muy poco. Lo bueno es que la puedes conectar directo a la luz o a una batería externa.Si no te quieres complicar en el uso y gastar más en lentes o preocuparte si configuras bien los parámetros es la ideal.

Melhor câmera de entrada para quem está iniciando no youtube ou algo do tipo. Existe bastante material disponível na rede para essa câmera e ela também pode ser utilizada como webcam.

Let me start out by saying that I've used dozens of cameras over the past few years as a bit of a gear head. I've had full frame DSLRs, full frame mirrorless, APS-C options, micro 4/3's, etc. Most recently I had the Fuji X100V. Having a growing family I realized that while I love taking pictures of my kids growing up, what really captures the interest of everyone is capturing videos. I could take 1,000 pictures from a family trip and the things that the family will want to see is the video, not the pictures. For this I realized that having a more compelling video option was needed. In addition having a 7 year old girl, she's starting to want to make her own videos, which I post to her private YT channel.Pros- Having a compact option with a decently fast lens. The lens could be wider, it could be longer. There's a lot of could haves. Why not ask for a 12-500 mm lens? For what it is, it's a good compromise, has a decent enough range and fast lens, which is needed for a 1" sensor. The 24-200 would've been too slow to shoot indoors without an external light.- The front flip screen. It makes talking head videos easier to shoot, putting it on a tripod and still having a hot/cold shoe for an external mic or a light source is fantastic.- Button layout. Having a record button, having a tally light are great.Cons- I would've loved to see a better use of a touch screen interface. Canon has it right for the most part, Sony could be much better.- I would've loved to have a mode dial and/or more front dials. But given a choice between what we have in the ZV-1 or a larger body/more expensive model, I'm ok with what we have.Things to noteNo, the stabilization is not the best. On standard it's not great. On active it's better but crops in. This is why I say for certain types of vlogging, like on a tripod or talking head video it's fine. If you're expecting to walk around and talk to yourself, you'll want to invest in a gimbal. No, the battery isn't the best. Luckily they're tiny and you can find plenty of generic options. No, you don't get a charger in the box. Most cameras these days are not shipping with one. No you won't get the ultra thin depth of field from this, it's a 1" sensor, there are limitations.For the price, the size, the features, it's the best option that I've found at the present time. It's not perfect, but any camera enthusiast will tell you that there isn't. It's about weighing the positives and the negatives and find the one with the most plusses and the least amount of negatives for your needs. Think about it, if the perfect camera existed, you'd have no compelling reason to upgrade to the next model, so in a way you have to think that manufacturers intentionally withhold a little here and a little there.
