Best if filming in 5-minute segments
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Recorded video is clear, with crisp audio capture to boot. Camera is easy to use with straightforward controls. The only downside is the issue with the camera overheating and shutting off or stopping recording without warning. You can only capture about 5 minute segments of video. This really hurts the usefulness, obviously.

Sorry
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not happy thinking about returning it asap. The camera is kinda hard to figure out all the settings to make it compatible with imovie and its giving me a hard time; the quality of the videos are OK but over all not beginner friendly

Overheats big time.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overheats! Yes, I changed the setting so it would not overheat but it still does so you only get about 38 minutes out of it before it shuts down.

Don’t recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera started to over heat less than a month after purchasing. Unfortunately I was out of the period of return. Camera also doesn’t offer a wide angle option.

Posted .Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. We do apologize that the ZV1 didn't meet your standards. Try setting the Auto Power Off Temp setting in the menu to High. Please note high-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the camera will turn off automatically because the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature or the high temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal mechanism of the camera. We greatly appreciate your honest feedback. Should you need further assistance please feel free to contact us directly at the following link.
