Love this camera!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Still More Versatile Than ZV-1F or ZV-1 Mk II
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm just writing this review to point out something that makes this camera much more versatile than the newer ZV-1F or the ZV-1 II that "replaces" the ZV-1. The ZV-1 has optical image stabilization in the lens, the other two do not. Many people have pointed out the slight difference this makes in video, vs. the digital only on the newer cameras. But this misses one important thing. If you are going to use this camera as a compact travel camera or any other use case that will involve taking pictures, digital stabilization does nothing for photos. This means the ZV-1F/1 II have no image stabilization in photos. The ZV-1 has optical image stabilization when taking pictures. This is beneficial at longer focal lengths and especially in lower light. If you are looking for a travel camera or general use camera, the optical stabilization in the lens of the ZV-1 gives it an advantage over the others.

Wow, gamechanger!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I learned the difference between 4k with a google pixel 7pro and this camera. This camera has enhanced my photos and video to a very professional level. I'm actually buying two more to have my staff use when we cover events. It is really that good!

Happy- price fits the product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
