Good but not for me

Good Enough
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Product at a great price. Works very well. Not 100% happy about the crop in 4K, but I bought an after market wide lends to attach and that works well.

Wouldn’t recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this with the intention to use it for a webcam and to do videos for my YouTube channel. The focus is great, but unless you use it on a tripod and or gimble all of the time, it’s jittery and the video stabilization is horrible. For the same price, I traded it in and got the A6100 and it focuses faster and is way more stable and the battery life is better. I tried to use the ZV-1 as a webcam and even though I had is set to charge with USB it would die. My A6100, while it doesn’t stay charged can go 12 hours while plugged in and connected to the Sony Image edge software and being used for streaming as a webcam. I wouldn’t recommend this for anything that’s not just on a tripod. Unless you want to invites a few hundred dollars more, stay away from this camera. Not recommended.

Posted .Hello. Thank you for your review regarding the ZV-1 camera. We appreciate your feedback and will feed it back to our team. One thing to note regarding the stabilization settings, there are actually two different options in Movie Mode (Active or Standard) that are available to try to see if it helps with the jittery footage. Also, we recommend the Sony Vlogger Accessory Kit to be use with the ZV-1.

We are sorry to hear that you were not able to use the USB to extend your recording time. To extend the recording time, we recommend that you turn on Auto Power OFF Temp. set to “High”

Sonyzv1
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera is not what i expected. It takes blurry pictures. Like if you plan on taking a lot of night pictures, you would need to buy a separate flash and another lense.
