Customer Ratings & Reviews

This camera is amazing! Autofocus is SICK! I make films for a living and love this as a side vlogging spur of the moment camera! A few quirks though. The 1.8 though, while bright has the depth of field more like an f5. But if you are ok with that, awesome! If you're shooting in ia for video, be warned that the auto shutter kind of goes wonky and plays back clips too fast if you move the camera around too fast. But once you know the quirks, it's amazing! Most convenient camera ever! Purchased for in the moment vlogging shots so I love it! If you vlog though, use a selfie stick rather than the optional accessory... It's worth it and will greatly open up your shots.

I have been vlogging for the last 2 years with an a7iii and 16-35mm f4. It is a great camera to vlog with but has its drawbacks. The a7iii is large and quickly draws attention. If you are looking for an excellent vlogging camera that is bit more discrete than this camera might work for you. The biggest drawbacks are the 5min. recording maximum and the 24mm wide angle. If you extend your arm the 24mm is definitely manageable but the 5 minute recording time is something that you really have to be pay attention to. It will shot off before you realize it has happened. Cool camera. If you are really bored please check out my vlog on YouTube - Stories from the Bay. Cheers Ian.

Great camera for vlogging and pictures. Has great sound quality.

Really like this user friendly camera . Cant wait to use it for work .

Great for photos and videos record, not too expensive and good quality attachments

I love that this camera, that I can move the screen and how clear it is and the High quality

This was a Bday present for my daughter who is really into photography and her boyfriend does some professional photography as well. It’s a great all around camera that takes good outside photos and video and inside as well under lower light conditions. My daughter is very pleased with the quality of the images and that it’s compact enough so she doesn’t always have to lug around her large digital SLR all the time now. It would have been nice if it came with an SD card but outside of that, no complaints so far.

This is an amazing camera easy to use and takes great photos

This camera is great. It’s amazing for up close pictures and great for vlogging. It’s small and compact that u take it everywhere with me to capture the moments with loved ones

First off, I returned it and purchased an Sony a6400. My usage is mainly video and the ZV-1 was nice but limited because you can’t change the lens. Also, for me the big negative was not being able to get at the memory card without removing it from the base when it is mounted on a tripod. That alone was enough to return it because it is a big workflow killer. It has lots of great features. Takes great video if you can get the lighting right. It is small and light weight, the swing out screen is nice and can be flipped to protect the screen when it your pocket. No viewfinder.

Great little camera! Easy to use, auto focus, and skin softening features are great. Top feature is the flip out screen though! Great for vlogging.

It works very well. I do not have any complaints.

Bought an open box ZV1. Good shape good price. Camera is amazing producing excellent sharp images and video.

Greatest vlogging camera out there! I use it to take pictures and videos for work, as well as, my own vlogging. It’s quality is unmatched when it comes to close up videography, I’ve never seen anything like it!

Love it!!! Best camera I've ever owned! Highly recommended

Overall this was a good camera, however it is not the best if you would like to get into both videography AND photography. I upgraded to the ZV-E10 in order to fulfill the photography aspect given the E mount system that is available. It is not a full frame sensor but it is a very good APS-C sensor (hopefully I am correct)

Out of the box, very easy to use. However, menu can be confusing. Watch some YouTube videos to learn more about its settings. Microphone is better than iPhone with option to add an external mic. One negative would be the battery door. When using a tripod, battery can't be opened. As a result, be sure to purchase a cage which gives an option for battery door to be opened. Best feature—using USB cable to livestream! Be sure to update the camera's firmware to 2.0. Have fun!!!

Probably one of the best cameras to vlog. Everything that is mentioned on the description is true. I love the auto focus.

Love this camera the 1080p quality on this thing blows up really nice on bigger screens looks like 4k. The 4k is also nice but I don't use it as much since 1080p looks nice and saves on data. It is super nice and portable. The battery lasts a decent time. I've used it to record multiple takes for about 3 hrs? before needed to change the battery. Not bad for the tiny battery. The mic is also really good. Lot's of settings and autofocus is fire. I do recommend.

Love this camera. It is made for technologically challenged folks like me. What I mean by that is everything like focus and fade detection happens automatically with zero effort on my part. It also has an NDr filter and some way of prioritizing your face in different lighting. So you can be vlogging on a sunny day and then walk thru a dark tunnel and your face will be in view and illuminated. The aperture is not huge but this is not meant to be a full fledged video camera it is truly a vlogging camera.
