||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Packs a quality punch in a small package
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality for the price. Used as a b-roll cam for A7III and it stands up very well. Using external power, it can run in 4K for over an hour without overheating indoors.

Exceeded lofty expectations
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Camera!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Perfect For Beginner Content Creation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

This is the GOAT for content creators.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What can you say about this legendary camera that hasn't been said already? This is my third Sony camera I have both an a5000 and a6000 and they are great cameras but this is very much one of the best options for content creation. I love the one-touch Bokeh settings and the viewing window is perfect for video work. My only complaint and it's not even a complaint but the internal mic could be a little better but that's very much a small matter also it would be great if it had a USB-C charging port instead of the micro USB but again a small matter. I love this camera and I'm sure you will too if you do a lot of video work.

Amazingly capable
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

It's okay but for the price I expected way more
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
