    I bought this camera because I recently wanted to to start documenting my diy projects while also filming my quickly growing toddler. It’s been so easy to use and fun figuring out all it has to offer. My videos have been 100 x better then that I use to take from my phone alone. I am very happy with it so far and can’t wait to keep it up!

    It's a very nice camera. I'm very enjoying using it wherever I go and I even notice when I walked around the shopping center a lot of people looking at it. This Sony zv1 is small but has a lot of functions and it's great for youtuber people. Picture is clear and also the sound. I would recommend it to everyone

    It is a great camera. A little pricy but it is not as bad as it could be. It works as intended and it does it well. My only complaint is the mount placement to the battery. BUT that was fixed on the new ZV-1.

    Impressive image quality. I shoot raw and post process in Lightroom. Don’t use the video features but wanted a compact camera better than my phone. Battery life is my only complaint.

    Really impressed with this little camera. The video quality has far exceeded our expectations (and they were high to begin with). The on-board audio is also very good. Was going to immediately buy an external mic, and will in the near future, but it is not necessary out of the box for our use. Well done, Sony.

    This i camera is a tiny powerhouse. Shooting in 4k and crop it in post is what I love about it. Very capable for its size, not to mention the ultra slow motion of 960 fps in slow motion mode.

    I LOVE this camera! It's great quality and makes my videos look absolutely amazing. It automatically adjusts the lighting so amateurs like me can record without the footage looking crazy. This is definitely the best camera that I've owned and while the price point is high, it's well worth it.

    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.

    No complaints with this camera. A fairly easy to use camera. I feel like the zoom of the vlogging camera could extend out more instead of having such a limited range on the zoom. But overall a good camera.

    Camera works great and super easy to use. I definitely recommend using the microphone fuzzy thing especially outside since it really does make a difference in the sound quality when windy.

      Thank you for your feedback about the ZV1 camera. We are glad to hear that the camera works great for you and you found it super easy to use. We agree with you recommending the use of the microphone screen outdoors because it can really help filtering unwanted noise when recording like wind noise.

    It's okay. The battery life is not that good for the price IMO. I never spent this much on a camera so I was expecting more. I'm still trying to get use to how everything works. Especially the autofocus features. The zoom is also not as good as I expected.
