    I brought this camera to start vlogging and to bring on my trip and it has amazing 4k quality. Although without changing the settings it will stop on its own after maybe 5 minutes.

    ZV-1 Camera---Small but Mighty

    Bought the camera specifically for shooting extended videos to add to my websites and YouTube Channel. Sound quality is excellent using the built-in microphone. However, the 3.5 audio port for audio for adding a Lavelier MIC or wired external MIC is a key feature. Other less expensive cameras do NOT have this feature.

    Fatal drawbacks

    ***PROS:*** 1.) The F/1.8 is great. It's bright. 2.) The zoom is solid. 3.)The size and weight for the specs are light and small. 4.) Sony stabilization is good. 5.) Phase-detect auto focus is excellent. 6.) Screen is quality. ***CONS:*** 1.) Skin tones are inconsistent and specifically come across pink. 2.) Auto ND doesn't work half the time. Manual ND isn't dark enough. 3.) The widest angle isn't wide enough for vlogging (unless you like shaky video). 4. The battery is small. 5.) The battery door is blocked when using a selfie-stick or tripod, so you can't easily swap the battery or change SD card. 6.) The menu system is old and non-touch (as compared to the latest Sony cameras. ***CONCLUSION:*** If you're using this for product/overhead photography from an appropriate distance and are sure to have it charged by external power (or are only taking short videos), you may find it acceptable, but having to unscrew the tripod or camera from the mount is a pain - one which will cause unnecessary wear to the camera and your other equipment.

    This is a lot a lot better than your phone cameras for video recording, and I'm talking about top of the line iPhone 12 samsung S20 Ultra. They might look similar under great light conditions, once it gets dark or you are filming inside without great lighting, this will blow all phone cameras out of the water. Great for video recording and entry level Youtube. Major issue is the battery life, had to buy 3 replacement batteries on Amazon, but they were quite cheap, got 3 with a charger for 20 bucks.

    This is my first camera so I don't really know what realistic expectations should be. It's pretty easy to use, makes great 4k videos and has good sound when pair with an external mic. You'll have to tweak the settings if you want to record for longer than 5 minutes at 4k and the battery life isn't terribly great. I don't wish it had a USB-C connection instead of micro-USB. Overall a good camera and works fine for my Youtube channel.

    This is a powerful little camera. Bought some accessories for it & now I feel like I won’t need another anytime soon. I just started my YouTube journey & did so much research before I bought. I also got it open box - excellent so saved a good amount too. More than $100 so I’m very happy with my purchase. Check out my YouTube channel! Keeluxx

    Excellent ! Bought it for a trip to Europe and turned out to be quite amazing. Everything from clarity color ease of use stills and 4k videos was just great. Very light and compact with it’s very own Sony OS. More zoom would have been welcome.

    Absolutely incredible. It offers so many features that I have to keep watching YouTube tutorials to figure out how to use each one of them. It's very easy to use and its response to any command is super fast. I love the defocus feature which allows you to blur the background with the click of a button, the stabilizing feature and also the product showcase function. It's a pretty incredible camera for vloggers.

    I love this camera it is great for blogging. The settings on the camera helps me shoot anywhere at anytime. The microphone that comes with the camera surprised me. It is actually clear and the playback videos are loud. The front face camera helps shoot by yourself. The scene selection make it easy to shoot at night with good lighting that can be adjusted. And it’s easy to catch shoots that have moving options.

    It works well once you "learn" it. It works best for video and vlogging. Pics are good. Most of what this does could be done on a newer phone. You need to have a better microphone for pick-up. Overall, it's good but not great.
