    Needed something portable when I didn't feel like shooting with my mirrorless. The video is amazing and operation couldn't be easier. Don't even think of buying without the vlogger kit. The two are perfect for each other.

    ZV-1 is a pretty versatile camera for me. However, as it is basically a video-centric RX100 V, the MSRP should be marked a bit lower than it is now. The mode button is fine, but not as easy to use as the traditional mode selector.

    Photos are lackluster (not as good as my iphone 12), but video stabilization is great (has software and hardware stabilization). Works for what it is, and is a slight step up from iphone 12 vlogging. Not cheap though

    Perfect for vlogging camera. Very light weight and compact. The only issue I have is that I have the vlogging handle and in order to switch the memory card or battery that has to be removed to access that area.
