    I learned the difference between 4k with a google pixel 7pro and this camera. This camera has enhanced my photos and video to a very professional level. I'm actually buying two more to have my staff use when we cover events. It is really that good!

    It works well once you "learn" it. It works best for video and vlogging. Pics are good. Most of what this does could be done on a newer phone. You need to have a better microphone for pick-up. Overall, it's good but not great.

    Battery not my favorite

    Meh. Good for quick pics and maybe vlogging, but at the same time, the battery doesn’t last more than like an hour and a half, so that kind of would suck for filming.

    Absolutely incredible. It offers so many features that I have to keep watching YouTube tutorials to figure out how to use each one of them. It's very easy to use and its response to any command is super fast. I love the defocus feature which allows you to blur the background with the click of a button, the stabilizing feature and also the product showcase function. It's a pretty incredible camera for vloggers.

    I love this camera it is great for blogging. The settings on the camera helps me shoot anywhere at anytime. The microphone that comes with the camera surprised me. It is actually clear and the playback videos are loud. The front face camera helps shoot by yourself. The scene selection make it easy to shoot at night with good lighting that can be adjusted. And it’s easy to catch shoots that have moving options.

    brilliant colorful video quality. Def need a backup battery rig. Dropped mine into the lou accidentally while recording a morning routine. It wouldn't turn on at first, but after couple days it was 100 functional. Love it

    I like this camera. However, it couldn't meet my needs with the length of run time and environments I was in. This would be an excellent camera for someone using it for standard vlogging or vacationing with the family.

    I have and have had many cameras. This little ZV-1 is terrific. It has a great lens with a large aperture of 1.8 wide open and that allows me to get terrific high quality photos in almost any light. I am having so much fun with this camera. It locks the focus super fast and has the best tracking features in the industry in my opinion. Sony dominates with capturing action. I carry this camera with me everywhere I go in my man bag.

    Simply one of the best vlogging cameras in this price range. The various inputs allow for external audio sources so you can get really clean sound. Excellent stabilization and other features. As with most Sony products, keep an extra battery charged and close by. The display can eat the battery life. Oh, and it certainly does take nice still shots!

    I recently decided to start a YouTube channel and once I switched to this camera my video quality increased tremendously. I battery dies fast so I would definitely recommend buying at least another battery. I also heard that if you wear sunglasses and try to use the flip screen then it will go black. Other than those two things, I think this is a great camera for those starting out. :) I mostly use mine for vlogging!

    Great camera for content creators. I love using this camera on a tripod for interviews as i can flip the screen so i can verify we are in frame. Also works on a selfie stick/gimbal. I use an external mic.

    I would give it 90/100 or 4.5. Great photos and videos for close up or within 10 yards. A newer Samsung or iPhone has a better quality from further away. Good photos with limited light and are better than most phones. I think it's a great camera for $500, NOT $750 as listed!

    The video it shoots is great, and after you learn the interface, taking photos is pretty decent. Could use a software uodate to make it more intuitive and include the use if the touch screen more.
