    Versatile camera, but the price could be lower

    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.

    Best if filming in 5-minute segments

    Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Recorded video is clear, with crisp audio capture to boot. Camera is easy to use with straightforward controls. The only downside is the issue with the camera overheating and shutting off or stopping recording without warning. You can only capture about 5 minute segments of video. This really hurts the usefulness, obviously.

    My iPhone takes better pictures and video and the battery lasts longer. Was really disappointed, especially with the zoom(it’s a joke). What’s worse is the app it comes with to transfer its a joke, especially when you you transfer to a phone it reduces the quality significantly.

    Enjoying experimenting with this camera to film. However, I have found the camera's body is a bit hard to grip when not on the shooting grip (in the accessory kit), and I wish it had some kind of textured grip.
