Sony zv1 review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a relley hood camera for beginners but the only problems is that it over heat easily so it turns off a lot when it over heats and the battery on it doesn’t last long

Posted .Hi Martin, Thank you for sharing your feedback on the zv-1 camera. We're sorry to hear your having issues with the overheating on this camera. The duration of time available for movie recording varies depending on the file format/recording settings for movies, memory card, ambient temperature, Wi-Fi network environment, condition of the camera before you start recording, and condition of the charging of the battery. Something you can try is to set the [Auto Power OFF Temp.] to [High]. This will allow you to record longer as it raises the threshold for the Overheat Warning. For more assistance on this matter, please contact Sony Support at 239-245-6360 as we would love to help you improve your recording times. Thank you. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. -Linda 09-29-23 Sony Social Support

Canon ZV1

Content Creators NEW Bestfriend!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to setup and use. Filming my content isna breeze now. That 4k quality is amazing. Easy to pair with my phone. Transferring files from my Sony ZV 1 camera to my MacBook Air was easy as well. However, 4k does use alot of memory space.

Best auto focus, good vlogging point and shoot
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Auto focus is unmatched. Image stabilization could be better. Lens is not quite wide enough for vlogging. In camera audio is great. Includes dead cat attachment, also able to plug into external microphone. Good portable size, and flip out screen is a plus.

Great quality + features
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing video quality and camera features. I think the software that sony provides with the camera could be better and more efficient, and the battery life blows. Other than that, great camera.

I really enjoy it and I love the quality of everything about it. The only downfall is the mechanical sound the zoom feature makes. BUT, if you are using an external mic it doesn't matter.

Amazing camera with great tracking, but one flaw.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As the title states, this camera is secondary to done at this price point. The videos and pictures produced from this camera are amazing. The only major flaw is battery life. When filming for more than an hour, the battery drops to about half, which is just not great.
