Nice But One Big Negative
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, I returned it and purchased an Sony a6400. My usage is mainly video and the ZV-1 was nice but limited because you can’t change the lens. Also, for me the big negative was not being able to get at the memory card without removing it from the base when it is mounted on a tripod. That alone was enough to return it because it is a big workflow killer. It has lots of great features. Takes great video if you can get the lighting right. It is small and light weight, the swing out screen is nice and can be flipped to protect the screen when it your pocket. No viewfinder.
I would recommend this to a friendBest camera ever!!

Sony Video Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is great for someone getting into vlogging or filming others. I got it to film a client. The audio was decent too even without a mic. But it does have a spot for a mic to be connected. Overall, I would say it's a excellent starter video camera.

Crisp image quality, but not so simple.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The video and image quality are notably Sony, but the settings to get this camera how you want it to be are finnicky and slightly cumbersome. I see the M2 version seems to address some of them, but I find similar image quality in an iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is much easier to use. Hands down, though, the product showcase setting is remarkable!

Highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this camera the 1080p quality on this thing blows up really nice on bigger screens looks like 4k. The 4k is also nice but I don't use it as much since 1080p looks nice and saves on data. It is super nice and portable. The battery lasts a decent time. I've used it to record multiple takes for about 3 hrs? before needed to change the battery. Not bad for the tiny battery. The mic is also really good. Lot's of settings and autofocus is fire. I do recommend.

Very Versatile!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the box, very easy to use. However, menu can be confusing. Watch some YouTube videos to learn more about its settings. Microphone is better than iPhone with option to add an external mic. One negative would be the battery door. When using a tripod, battery can't be opened. As a result, be sure to purchase a cage which gives an option for battery door to be opened. Best feature—using USB cable to livestream! Be sure to update the camera's firmware to 2.0. Have fun!!!

LOVE MY ZV1
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this camera. It is made for technologically challenged folks like me. What I mean by that is everything like focus and fade detection happens automatically with zero effort on my part. It also has an NDr filter and some way of prioritizing your face in different lighting. So you can be vlogging on a sunny day and then walk thru a dark tunnel and your face will be in view and illuminated. The aperture is not huge but this is not meant to be a full fledged video camera it is truly a vlogging camera.
I would recommend this to a friendAs Good as You've Heard.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera needs no introduction, and is probably the most popular "blogging" camera out there, and for good reason. For the price, this thing rivals bulky cinema cameras that would set you back thousands just 10 years ago. It's also extremely easy to use, so bridges the gap between enthusiast cameras and phone cameras. Highly recommended.

Z10 loving it
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this cámara. The features are excellent and there is a YouTube video to help learn all the different features. Excellent for video making, easy to connect to the tv for viewing. The speaker is crisp and if you are filming and talking it’s great. You can add additional microphones and light.

Best point and shoot camera ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has done the unthinkable with this little vlogging camera...they have rolled out features that will be included in future top of the line mirrorless cameras. Like any camera the ZV-1 ain't perfect but for the price and the options available it is the perfect tool for the right job. An included mic muff makes for very good sound and a flip out screen that every Sony shooter has wanted for years. Paired with the shooting grip this little camera is a powerhouse that punches way above its weight-class or price point.

The pictures seems as if your still there, and the videos are 4k quality. I took the camera on my European trip and everyone raves how the colors makes the pictures come alive. Purchase this, you won’t be disappointed.
