Perfect For Beginner Content Creation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent camera, with great visuals, plenty of settings to explore. However, I mainly recommend this for video then for pictures. I'm still testing its limits, but there have been no issues with filming compared to getting shots for pictures. Overall, happy with my purchase.

Sony zv1 review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a relley hood camera for beginners but the only problems is that it over heat easily so it turns off a lot when it over heats and the battery on it doesn’t last long
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Martin, Thank you for sharing your feedback on the zv-1 camera. We're sorry to hear your having issues with the overheating on this camera. The duration of time available for movie recording varies depending on the file format/recording settings for movies, memory card, ambient temperature, Wi-Fi network environment, condition of the camera before you start recording, and condition of the charging of the battery. Something you can try is to set the [Auto Power OFF Temp.] to [High]. This will allow you to record longer as it raises the threshold for the Overheat Warning. For more assistance on this matter, please contact Sony Support at 239-245-6360 as we would love to help you improve your recording times. Thank you. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. -Linda 09-29-23 Sony Social Support

Great Beginner Vlogging Camera
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My favorite vlogging camera. This is a very versatile camera that fits in your pocket. The mic on the camera works great, especially with the windscreen and the side viewfinder is so useful! I use it also as a webcam. Perfect for young creators on a budget!

Good little camera.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great camera for indoor and outdoor recording. Recording quality is excellent, I mainly use it for creating home videos. They come out very high quality. Sometimes the camera overheats and shuts off but there is an override function for that in the menu.
