Good little camera.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great camera for indoor and outdoor recording. Recording quality is excellent, I mainly use it for creating home videos. They come out very high quality. Sometimes the camera overheats and shuts off but there is an override function for that in the menu.

Great Beginner Vlogging Camera
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My favorite vlogging camera. This is a very versatile camera that fits in your pocket. The mic on the camera works great, especially with the windscreen and the side viewfinder is so useful! I use it also as a webcam. Perfect for young creators on a budget!

Needs a better zoom in and out
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No complaints with this camera. A fairly easy to use camera. I feel like the zoom of the vlogging camera could extend out more instead of having such a limited range on the zoom. But overall a good camera.

ZV-1 great for low light
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow... wonderful video vlog camera... great low light capability. Lots of options... Not great on a rollercoaster because Sony stabilization does not compare to GoPro... but other than that single issue, I think you will love the video 4K quality! Fyi, menu's are not touchscreen.

Good basic camera for streaming.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this primarily to use as a webcam so that I wouldn't need a HDMI capture card. It's been a consistent performer. I've also been using it for some.basic shooting and the results have been good. The menus are a bit cumbersome, but with some practice they're usable.

Micro A7siii
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The a7siii micro. The AF is faster than the zve10 and the rolling shutter is as low as the a7siii. The 1080 120p is amazing and the image and color in general holds up with the a7siii with some very minor tweaks.

Weird Visit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found what I was looking for, but my visit to the store was very strange. It took a few minutes for a sales associate to help me with a locked box housing the camera I was looking for. The associate had no knowledge of appropriate accessories for the camera, so I had to locate those on my own. Also he would not allow me to hold the product until I reached the front of the store, as if I was going to steal or damage it before purchase. He told me a story about a customer prying open a locked box with a tripod as well. I was then escorted by a second gentleman to the register. The young lady at the register was helpful and knowledgeable, but was out of bags which I found inconvenient as well. Overall a very unsettling visit. I am happy with the product.
