    Needed something portable when I didn't feel like shooting with my mirrorless. The video is amazing and operation couldn't be easier. Don't even think of buying without the vlogger kit. The two are perfect for each other.

    The quality of the camera was good at times & terrible at times, alot of the settings that were available to others was locked or grayed out on my cam for some reason.. then again its not the camera i wanted so maybe its just me. The battery lasted maybe 30m-1hr & after that it would just die w no warning..

    ZV-1 is a pretty versatile camera for me. However, as it is basically a video-centric RX100 V, the MSRP should be marked a bit lower than it is now. The mode button is fine, but not as easy to use as the traditional mode selector.

    It OVERHEATS after 20 mins of shooting In 4K

    Yes, I changed the temp control setting to “high”. I’m in an air conditioned room… still - 20 mins and it will shut down mid take and I have to let it cool for an hour to be cool enough to do that again. I want to love this camera - the quality is great and it’s small and versatile and just really great (and I’m a visual snob)… but if I can’t get it to work for even one hour of shooting - then what does all that matter?! I just need it to do it’s ONE JOB! I even bought it twice thinking that the first time the issue was that my item was an open box item - but even the newer, more expensive new version does the same. I now bought like $200 worth of additional accessories to try to avoid the issue. Which also makes this camera no longer portable, but reliant on an outlet at least and possibly an outlet and computer connection (apparently fast SD cards also get hot). So get ready for all that. I feel like $1000 puts me in a whole other bracket of camera choices that I wasn’t previously even considering. Try it for yourself and pay attention to your “return by” date.

      Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. We do apologize for the experience you are having and that the ZV1 didn't meet your standards. High-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the camera will turn off automatically because the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature or the high temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal mechanism of the camera. We appreciate you sharing your experience and honest feedback! - Glenn Sony_US
