    I have been a Canon and Panasonic camera owner for years. Their cameras just keep on going and going. I wanted a more updated camera that was a point and shoot so I gave the Sony ZV-1 a shot. I ordered it a month ago online for a family vacation this week. I got it out Saturday and set it up and all seemed ok. I tried it today and it is dead. I called Sony and they wanted me to send it back to them for repair. They suggested that I contact Bestbuy for a replacement. I called Bestbuy and guess what. The said that they couldn't help me and want me to contact Sony back. Bestbuy said that I could bring it into a store but if they repair it they will charge me. I have been a Bestbuy credit card holder for 30+ years. To conclude do not buy this Sony camera if you want a camera that you can depend on. Poor product quality and poor customer service. Bestbuy customer service is no better.

    One of the best cameras I've ever had and I got it open box so saved some money at the same time. It's small but powerful only wish it had a small built in flash, then again it takes great low light photos

    Products works extremely well! The only problem is that it has a capped amount of time for recording in 4k. If you want to shoot a video longer than 20 minutes in 4k, you will not be able to do so. Otherwise, this point and shoot camera is amazing!

    The quality of the camera was good at times & terrible at times, alot of the settings that were available to others was locked or grayed out on my cam for some reason.. then again its not the camera i wanted so maybe its just me. The battery lasted maybe 30m-1hr & after that it would just die w no warning..

      Hello MarissaW, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. We are glad you are enjoying this cameras for your vlogs. We designed the camera with content creators and vloggers in mind and is thrilled to hear it has exceeded your expectations. We do appreciate your honest feedback on the heat and battery issue.

We hope you will find that nonetheless it is well balanced with the overall features and ergonomics. Thank you again for choosing Sony, Happy Shooting! -Linda Sony Social Support Sony_US
