    Super easy camera to use for a newbie. Beautiful picture quality. Lightweight but sturdy. Quickly switch between photos and videos. Love the wireless upload to iPhone for transferring images. Glad I went with this as my first pro camera.

    I absolutely LOVE this camera! I am no camera expert by any means, but I thoroughly did my research before purchasing this camera. I am a YouTuber (channel: Natural NeNe) and I was looking for a camera to mainly record my videos with. I wanted to upgrade from my iPhone 11 to a camera and this one is perfect! I don't understand why so many people are against this camera, but I personally love it! The video quality is what I was looking for and it is AMAZING! It is sharp, clear and the camera stays in focus on a product or even on myself. The picture quality is also great for my thumbnails and just for pictures in general. The slots for the battery and SD card are perfect and they fit well. All of the controls such as the on/off button, record button, and picture button are easy to access on the screen or manually on the camera. I have had this camera for almost 2 weeks and I am already used to it. I cannot wait to start vlogging and recording with my new camera! I also highly recommend this camera for YouTubers or for anyone who wants to have good picture and video quality for memories.

    My holiday shopping was a breeze because the Sony Vlog Camera was on my granddaughter's list and it was in stock ready waiting for me to put it in the shopping basket. The best highlight of the purchase was being able to see my granddaughter's face when she opened her gift. Feeling like the greatest grandma in the whole world when Santa provided her the best gift, ever! LOL

    I bought the camera because my son started getting into downloading things to his YouTube channel. We looked around for many cameras. We heard this one was fairly easy to use. It looks really good. Wish it had a little bit more accessories like the camera strap you know so it don't fall on the floor...

    I'm very happy with the Sony ZV-1f as a beginner vlogger. It's easy to use and I love the auto intelligence functions, they just make editing so much easier! The only negative is that I bought the basic package on sale so I have to buy a lot of accessories, including a new wind muff because the one that came with the camera isn't great quality. Once I get these accessories, I'll be a pretty happy camper!!

    I love this camera as a starter vlog camera. The video quality is ok not perfect but it’s great if you’re just starting out with vlogging and need a good camera that isn’t too high in price. The focus could be a lot better but it works fine for now.
