Best beginner camera
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before i bought tge zv-1 i had no experience with a camera except for the camera on my phone. I was a bit hesitant to get it because i wasn't sure if it was going to be easy to use, but it was. The has 4k capabilities which is amazing especially for the price. The camera is super easy to use but it doesn't mean you wont get confused by it if you've never handled a camera and don't know the terminology. If you are interested in the camera i would definitely recommend it, but please do your research on it.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I took this camera on a few trips and ive got to say well worth the money. My friends continue to compliment the quality, even my guy friends if you can believe that! The video quality ive been told is like the kind of quality you see in films, movies, youtube vlogs done by professionals. 10/10 im constantly bragging about it!! Battery could be better, but its worth the hassle ;)

Good but expensive.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good solid camera. Wish had a flash. I wish there were some in-between cameras between this one and the really cheap, not so good quality, cameras. I won't be using all of it's capabilities.

Such an amazing camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I initially wanted the Canon GX7 camera but after seeing the price I couldn't justify paying that amount for a camera. I then did a whole lot of research on cameras that compares to the Canon GX7 and after days of researching I decided to go with this Sony ZV-1 20.1 megapixel digital camera. So happy I decided to go this route instead. Camera quality and features are so amazing, this camera is definitely worth the price and without breaking the bank. 10/10 recommend this camera.

Still my favorite of Sony ZV line up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to purchase a ZV-1 for myself because I was familiar with this camera from when we got these for run-and-gun cameras for my job to create training videos and take pictures of the products. Out of all the Sony ZV lineups, this is still my favorite right zoom range, easy to do video, and take photos—a small camera to take on trips. The bad, not weather or dust sealed but otherwise a fun camera

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.10/10 coming from someone who does photography this is a great camera to have if you’re looking for something small and easy. As long as you can figure out how all settings work and figure out what to really use the camera for, it’s amazing! But definitely order a little flash off Amazon. It’ll help you a lot
