Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best 1 inch sensor camera with blazing fast auto focus. Low light performance not as good after all it's a 1 inch sensor and what more we could expect. IQ is superb. Owned rx100v before and the image quality is as good. Miss evf but considering the price it's not a deal breaker

I like the camera. I wish it was cheaper but I also own a Canon G7X mkii. The main advantage is the mic jack but I also feel the overall video quality is a bit better on this Sony. The build seems better on the canon but I’d still take the a Sony. I actually prefer the screen on top like canons but it has to be to the side on the Sony because of the mic input. I was never a fan of point and shoots costing more than a few hundred dollars but if your in the market for vlogging id say it’s a go. Not perfect but pretty close

Excellent camera! Very easy to use. It does go through rechargeable batteries but you can get an adapter that keeps it plugged in all the time. Lots of accessories.

The battery is HORRIBLE. I have been using 1080 resolution and the battery lasts me maybe an hour if I'm lucky. The camera and quality has been decent though.

Great quality video easy to use compact size that fits any where

If you're looking for a good first camera, Sony has got you covered! The camera itself is very light and takes great photos. Besides the memory card, this camera gives you the basic accessories to start using it. The reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the battery lifespan is terrible. If you're deciding to buy this camera, please buy an extra battery for it and a memory card. Also, I noticed that when recording at 4K/30p the camera will get hot and shut down for long extended recording.

brilliant colorful video quality. Def need a backup battery rig. Dropped mine into the lou accidentally while recording a morning routine. It wouldn't turn on at first, but after couple days it was 100 functional. Love it

I like this camera. However, it couldn't meet my needs with the length of run time and environments I was in. This would be an excellent camera for someone using it for standard vlogging or vacationing with the family.

This is a lot a lot better than your phone cameras for video recording, and I'm talking about top of the line iPhone 12 samsung S20 Ultra. They might look similar under great light conditions, once it gets dark or you are filming inside without great lighting, this will blow all phone cameras out of the water. Great for video recording and entry level Youtube. Major issue is the battery life, had to buy 3 replacement batteries on Amazon, but they were quite cheap, got 3 with a charger for 20 bucks.

It is a good camera for the price, fits in a pocket, easy to carry around.

Great camera for content creators. I love using this camera on a tripod for interviews as i can flip the screen so i can verify we are in frame. Also works on a selfie stick/gimbal. I use an external mic.

It does what I really needed it to work, easy to use

Yes it's a tad bit tight on the lens and the battery life is a little weak. This wouldn't be such a bad thing if it were for the fact that a tripod will always block the battery door. 4k is useless with battery life being so weak and the EXTRA crop on an already tight frame. I never thought I'd think this but a shoulder strap sure would have been nice for this. Slow motion is kinda useless. I'd just use your phone's slow mo feature. ZV-1 slow mo kills battery and isn't quick enough to be ready for capturing shots spontaneously. The picture tends to overexpose in auto settings and since this is meant for quick run and gun style shooting, that sort of takes away the point of having a pocket shooter like this. The stability is great but the crop is tight. There are third party wide lens attachments that supposedly help but could put stress on the lens motor. There is zooming noise that makes it into the video. I put the negatives up front to focus on the positives now: Great low light. Product showcase mode is phenomenal. Much more useful than I anticipated. The audio is really good and the hot shoe on the top has allowed for me to use a sony shot gun mic. The way to use this camera for run and gun is to use it as a b cam to your phone. Use your phone for daylight and as soon as you go indoor or it get's late, switch the other Sony ZV-1.

Simply one of the best vlogging cameras in this price range. The various inputs allow for external audio sources so you can get really clean sound. Excellent stabilization and other features. As with most Sony products, keep an extra battery charged and close by. The display can eat the battery life. Oh, and it certainly does take nice still shots!

Camera itself is great and my daughters love it. Very bothered by Best Buy. I bought this “excellent condition open box” camera that wouldn’t even turn on. (Did they not check that?!?!) and unfortunately it was a far location so when I had to go to another location to address the issue, all they could do is charge me more and exchange it for a new one. Crap system Best Buy. Great camera Sony

My husband got this for me as a birthday present. I know that the price is high, but it is very well worth it. It works fast, connects wirelessly to your phone so you can sync your photos, and makes uploading online very easy. Clarity is incredible and the battery lasts me weeks. I use it to upload my cooking. The mic is an added bonus. :)

I recently decided to start a YouTube channel and once I switched to this camera my video quality increased tremendously. I battery dies fast so I would definitely recommend buying at least another battery. I also heard that if you wear sunglasses and try to use the flip screen then it will go black. Other than those two things, I think this is a great camera for those starting out. :) I mostly use mine for vlogging!

Where do I begin? I am inlove with this vlog camera quality! I love the modes on it. I love that I can connect it to my phone and laptop using an app. A really good camera to start with if you are new to photography and videography!

I'm keeping this for ease of use and video quality, but the audio quality is pretty bad, we have to edit a lot in post, and this camera shuts down after 15 minutes of filming if I'm recording for a while. I had no issues for the first day of filming, then the second day, it shut down every 10 minutes. Took me 40 minutes to film a 20 minute episode. And the battery life isn't great either. Again, Keeping this purely because I don't want to spend more than $600 for high quality YouTube videos.

It’s good for video vlog and daytime pics.. wish it had a flash
