    Don’t think it’s worth the price I paid. The zv1 has improvements to be made. One day it overheated and I barley started recording. The battery doesn’t last as long as people claim. It didn’t come with a manual yes it’s online but I want a physical copy. Overheating and Battery life is huge when producing I would’ve just used that money to buy a more expensive camera where I can actually record with no issues.

    The quality of the camera was good at times & terrible at times, alot of the settings that were available to others was locked or grayed out on my cam for some reason.. then again its not the camera i wanted so maybe its just me. The battery lasted maybe 30m-1hr & after that it would just die w no warning..
