    This camera is amazing. The low light functionality is exactly what I wanted with a light weight body. I had been a DSLR user for years, and I didn't expect to downgrade to a point & shoot. Yet, the ZV-1 has become my favorite for certain times.

    Great for travels and as a webcam! I use it when I'm having a trip and daily drive it as a USB webcam, great quality for those purposes, and if you're not a pro.

    In overall performance, this unit gets 5 stars from me. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is how hot the unit gets when shooting in 4K. Batteries don’t really give a warning before they go out. If you don’t mind the heat, get extra batteries and have fun, it’s a great camera.

      High-quality movie recording, including 4k, and high-speed continuous shooting does require large amounts of power. The remaining battery indicator appears on the screen and should show you if the battery is exhausted. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance. We appreciate your feedback and will feed it back to our team. Thank you for the review! Sony_US

    The quality is top notch, auto focus is better than most. At first bought the mark 3 but that was disappointing, the auto focus would not stay set snd kept trying to focus. With the Sony it auto focuses on the first try and stays there. Very happy with this product.

    In my honest opinion for me it is a great camera to work with.If you are a content creator or a photographer this camera is really good it’s the size of a phone so on the gone film and photos will really benefit.
