Not suitable for all content creators.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While yes this is great for video content creators, it lacks for those who are looking to get this camera for images. There’s no flash, image settings are limited, and on top of that - the Wifi didn’t work when trying to send myself one photo. If you’re looking to only use this for vlogging then I say go for it. Otherwise, don’t waste your time.

Overheating in 4k
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For carrying around and taking short video its great! It's very portable, light weight and takes great 4k footage. Unfortunately it overheats when streaming in 4k. Most of the time I can get 25 minutes or so, but recently its been as little as 20 minutes. I've changed the Hi temp shutoff without any changes.

Overheating Issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ended up returning it for one main reason: anything more than a few minutes of 4K footage resulted in it overheating and shutting down. It did take amazing photos but I needed it for a vlog and it couldn’t cut it. I experimented with different settings but couldn’t get it to stay on and not overheat.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. We do apologize that the ZV1 didn't meet your standards. If the Auto Power OFF Temp. setting was set to High, you should get more recording time. Also please note, high-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. Thank you for the review.
