Solid camera for the value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once I got used to the settings and features, I like it a whole lot more. I use this for tutorials on haircuts as well as filming family stuff. The photos come out nice, the quality of video is very clear however if you use continuous shooting, it will start to heat up and the exposure darkens. I’m getting used to it, learning how to manage the overheating, eventually will add a better camera to my arsenal, for now, this does what I need very well.

Best camera for vlogging !!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera has some good quality. The focus is amazing, the videos are clear and the sound is great. I would recommend buying a plug-in microphone if you want a louder sound. This camera is great for beginner content creators and vloggers.

review of zv-1 camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I overall really like the camera. My only concern was it overheated too quickly. I was outside early in the am and it was only about 70 degree and I was in the shade and then it said it overheated after 15 min of use. I walked in the house and then turned it on and it worked all within 1 min. So I am not sure why being outside even in the coolest temps makes this camera say its overheating. overall I really like the camera but just this little glitch is a pain but you can just push record again and it starts (at least in my conditions in shade at 70 degrees or lower)

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i am not a pro photographer or videographer but this camera is easy to use. i feel it is perfect for beginners such as myself. i love that you can also snap a shot while filming. it is an amazing picture/video. great for filming detailed things like food. the volume on it is loud. love that you can touch the item you want it to focus on and it would blur the background out so easily and nice looking. i would definitely recommend this product to beginners!

Check Everything if Buying USED..
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.AMAZING Camera.. I primarily used it for Gaming as a webcam but then wanted to use it outside and I've noticed I purchased a damaged device. Kept shutting off and writing data to memory card wasn't working. I did buy used from BESTBUY and didn't check every part of the camera because the use was for a webcam. But the Camera its self is Top Notch.

Sony Zv1
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I brought this camera to start vlogging and to bring on my trip and it has amazing 4k quality. Although without changing the settings it will stop on its own after maybe 5 minutes.

Great camera for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, I am happy with this camera. This is good for Youtube or vlogging. My only complete is the internal mic. You are better off purchasing a lapel mic or a shotgun mic. It is easy to use. Easy to download videos and pictures. It fits on a tripod or any other camera accessory. If you want to start a YouTube Channel or take videos and photos but cannot afford a thousand-dollar camera, this works.

Pictures come out great & if you don't want to waste time adjusting the settings you can make it automatic & the pictures come out great. I've had other Sony cameras through the years & they just keep getting better.

Best camera for price
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera for beginners and really good quality. Battery life could be better but it’s not too bad. Features zoom, face smoothening, stabilization. I would say it’s worth it if you’re looking to vlog or even just document a trip with videos or photos.

Really good!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s an amazing camera honestly. The battery probably last 30min which is a deal breaker for me because each battery cost like 70$. The camera overheats a lot as well, but the resolution is amazing! It takes really good pictures as well and the audio is a 10/10. This easy a great purchase

Please note that some cameras, may experience heating issues due to various factors, including prolonged use, environmental conditions, or specific camera settings.

Purchase! Essential for educators / bloggers!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really brilliant, game-changing favorite purchase. Making videos is seamless, they save directly to mp4 so easily uploadable to any platform. Small and lightweight. Used it to make a lot of lectures that required a side by side of my face / profile and keynote/powerpoint. Makes editing simple. If you are using it as a primary audio source, I would definitely buy an external mic. I bought the Rode small one, which really improved the sound quality over this camera's inbuilt mic.

Just as good as the reviews I read said it was
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this with the intention of being able to do much higher quality videos for marketing and training. It does not disappoint. I've owned other Sony's in the past and besides the work I just described I can also easily take this on a vacation and have a great camera for both stills and video (I love my iPhone for convenience but it cannot take images like this can).

Great For All Needs
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is perfect and very compact so I’m not lugging around a heavy camera. The picture/video quality is great at a decent price point. It can do everything you could possibly need it to do. I’ve had it for 2 years and it’s still performing like the day I got it.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.8/10 Great quality in all aspects. Great camera to start vlogging or just to take pictures. Only thing I would change about this camera is that it doesn’t come with flash, but you can always purchase a light separately from Amazon

Great for streaming, recommend camlink
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I switched to this from a Canon Rebel SL2 with the kit lens, this is FAR superior in lowlight situations and has a clean HDMI output that allows for autofocus with an elgato cam link, highly recommend for people looking to upgrade streaming camera. However, if you’re going to use it as a webcam, just spend the extra $100-$200 on a camlink as well otherwise your quality won’t be nearly as good as it could be.

ZV-1 Camera---Small but Mighty
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the camera specifically for shooting extended videos to add to my websites and YouTube Channel. Sound quality is excellent using the built-in microphone. However, the 3.5 audio port for audio for adding a Lavelier MIC or wired external MIC is a key feature. Other less expensive cameras do NOT have this feature.
