Horrible battery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery is HORRIBLE. I have been using 1080 resolution and the battery lasts me maybe an hour if I'm lucky. The camera and quality has been decent though.

Good little camera.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great camera for indoor and outdoor recording. Recording quality is excellent, I mainly use it for creating home videos. They come out very high quality. Sometimes the camera overheats and shuts off but there is an override function for that in the menu.

This is a very versatile camera that fits in your pocket. The mic on the camera works great, especially with the windscreen and the side viewfinder is so useful! I use it also as a webcam. Perfect for young creators on a budget!

BEST Vlogger Cam
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reviewing several cameras I opted to buy this one for my vlogging project on YouTube. It’s size, weight and design makes the perfect combination for a point and shoot camera. The image quality is amazing and price is fare. Not friendly for photography but capable of. Highly satisfied!
I would recommend this to a friendGreat, but came with a broken audio jack.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera worked in every aspect i wanted, besides the external audio jack, all microphones plugged into the jack made a horrible distorted buzzing noise, unfortunately, had to issue a return, dissapointed in best buys open-box product inspection

ZV-1 great for low light
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow... wonderful video vlog camera... great low light capability. Lots of options... Not great on a rollercoaster because Sony stabilization does not compare to GoPro... but other than that single issue, I think you will love the video 4K quality! Fyi, menu's are not touchscreen.

Awesome camera.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my zv-1!! Great quality camera for pictures and videos. Small and compact. It can fit in your pocket. Battery life is a downside but you can buy extra batteries. Great starter camera if your thinking about streaming or creating content for YouTube. Fair price.
I would recommend this to a friendNot sure
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gave it 3 starts since i might buy again. Many factors may contribute to my conclusion maybe it was the Camera maybe it was my macbook pro 2020 regardless This camera dose not come with a charger so if you are new to video be ready to make investments in Charging ports, Batteries, HDMI to sub or some kinda cord that will allow a high performance data transfer to and from device for live stream. because the in box HDMi is super short so basically useless. Mine would not connect to my laptop idk why it was such a hassle I wanted to like it this product sadly just way too much to add on in addition for the price. I had to return but i might buy it again in the future and see if it was just a bad model i got that day.
