    Great little camera that can do videos beyond two minutes once you change some settings. I don't regret the buy. The only thing is just settings but this is coming from a first time digital camera owner.

    People On YouTube said this is a great camera start vlogging with if you’re new to vlogging. I just received mines today this morning so excited to start using it only reason I haven’t yet is because I need a memory card I didn’t know you had to buy that separately, so with that being said I’ll be buying a memory card and start using my ZV-1 ASAP and updating my review if I can thank you.
