Good - But Not Great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build/Packaging The camera feels sturdy and solid. The packaging is good, but lacks any “normal” accessories such as a camera strap. Photo The camera takes crisp photos and has plenty of manual and automatic settings to get the best photo possible. Video The 4K videos look amazing. Very high quality videos can be captured. Audio Using the built in audio (and wind adapter) the audio is very good. I used a wired and wireless mic to plug into the 3.5mm connection and actually found it to make the audio worse. It sounded muffled. Technology The camera has an app to gain access to control the camera remotely, offload pictures and videos, and other control. Personal experience All of the above are great reviews, but I encountered a significant issue. While inside (in air conditioning) and using the remote video control, the camera said it was overheating after a 90 second video. The camera shut off. It wouldn’t power back up. It may have just been a defective unit, but I wanted to pass along my experience.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife and I love this camera! I wish you could switch out the lens but it truly is the best camera for vlogging/videos especially if you have DSLR cameras like we do, especially considering the price. We would recommend for anyone that wants to record HQ videos. Also, the stand that is advertised for it also comes in handy!

Great camera for beginners!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.People On YouTube said this is a great camera start vlogging with if you’re new to vlogging. I just received mines today this morning so excited to start using it only reason I haven’t yet is because I need a memory card I didn’t know you had to buy that separately, so with that being said I’ll be buying a memory card and start using my ZV-1 ASAP and updating my review if I can thank you.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera. Great picture and video quality. Easy to use. Takes very little to learn the menu, but it is not complicated at all. It is easy to operate. 4k video is really good. Active stabilizer works very well. Lens can be a little wider, but it works well.

I am obsessed with this camera... despite
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is all the rage right and with good reason... I think if your using it for photography and video's (not vlogging) is far superior for the price... The color science is amazing... You have to get to know you camera and definitely play with the setting. Customizing is recommend but out of the box is great too. I would consider myself an intermediate photographer....
I would recommend this to a friendLove love love
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this camera take great video very easy for beginners!!!!
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for vlogging and streaming
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great camera and it is worth it over your phone. I also use it for streaming and recording videos with obs. It has a feature to use as a webcam with just usb at 540p but I use it with elgato cam link to get up to 4K output. Picture quality is well worth the price.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Starter
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a great starter camera for vlogging and streaming. Easy to use. Connects to OBS seamlessly. I currently use it for streaming church services. Only down side is there is no built in flash.

Best beginner's camera
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome quality, and very simple ease of use. I have used it for video recording events, and a handful of pictures. The Auto settings are great for beginners, and many adjustable options for intermediate shooters. The flip around screen is a very nice feature. Mic attachment/cover is a bit cheap, but expected from Sony. Otherwise, sound and video quality are sharp!

Great Camera!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly! Great camera for beginners! I love that you can close the screen to protect it and love the image/video quality! It’s really missing a flash but that would be the only gripe that I have! Would highly recommend!

Packed with features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera does it all. Crisp 4K quality videos and good photos as well all in a compact frame that fits in your pocket. As you've probably already read, the main downsides are that the lens isn't as wide as other cameras and the battery life isn't ideal. I think these are easy trade offs for everything else you're getting at a great price point.

Not bad beginner cam if videos aren’t long
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality, not bad starter. Can only record in 4K 60fps for an hour before it turns itself off to protect the camera so you have to work within that time limit. And yes I changed the settings to try to maximize how long it stays on it still has a not too long time window to record. Picks up audio pretty well but a separate mic is still way better.
