Amazing for vlogging.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most people don’t want this camera because it doesn’t come with a built in flash, but which is understandable because this camera does not have an hot shoe, it has a cold shoe. Meaning that when you connect an external flash, you would have to manually press the flash and time it with when you take the picture which is extremely difficult. You could always use a ring light, but the pictures just aren’t the same as they would be with a flash in my opinion. So if you are looking for an alternative to the Canon g7x, I would splurge a little more on the Sony ZV1 or Sony ZV1 Mark ii because those cameras DO have a hot shoe and WILL connect the flash to the camera. I had the Song ZV1F but returned it to get the Sony ZV1 Mark ii after finding out that the flash on the ZV1F didn’t work automatically. But even without the flash, the quality is AMAZING on this camera!!! Definitely recommend if you are more geared towards buying this for vlogging with a ring light.

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony ZV-F1 is a vlogger’s dream camera. It’s lightweight and portable, making it easy to carry around and shoot on the go. The autofocus is super fast and locks onto faces smoothly, so you don’t have to worry about blurry footage. The background defocus button is a game-changer, giving your videos that pro-level look with just one click. Plus, the built-in mic picks up clear audio, even outdoors. Overall, it’s an easy-to-use, budget-friendly choice for creating high-quality content.

Great starter camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of this camera is really good, it's simple and easy to use, perfect for beginners, films really good videos. However, the battery life kind of sucks which is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of five. I plan on purchasing some extra batteries so I don't run into any problems in the future

High Quality, reasonable price, easy to use!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera as an impulsive purchase, although it is something I've been wanting for a long time. I am more than happy with the results after buying it. This camera provides such amazing picture and video quality, it's light weight and the menu adjustments are super easy to learn. The wind muff is a great addition and really helps the sound quality when vlogging/talking outdoors. I especially love the flip screen so you can watch yourself as you record - another big reason I purchased this camera. The image stability is great too and proves to be successful based on the many videos I've already recorded that involve movement. I highly recommend purchasing this camera, in addition to the fact that it's more on the cheaper side compared to many others I've looked at.

|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A camera that has easy to learn presets that you’ll put into incredible use. I just got back from a trip to Chile and I used the other version of this camera to photograph the Chilean wine country and mountain ranges. So getting this camera was a no brainer. My favorite feature that this point and shoot camera has is actually the LCD screen that you can swivel based on the lighting and angle you’re shooting in. Most times I am vlogging and I need to see what the segment I am shooting will look like on the spot. It helps that it is touch screen so you can adjust settings pretty quickly and on-the-spot. The facial recognition feature is also super sharp and great with a couple of people in the frame. However when I was filing 20 or more people it would lose its focus. Not a big deal but it took me a bit to get the hang of it. As far as shooting modes they each serve their own purpose. My top 3 are: portrait with defocus, scenic for wider shots, and sport for fast moving scenes. The design is true to Sony with braided round features, and a matte slick look for the body. Oh, and you’ll be glad to know the charging port is USB-C. If you’ve got someone in your family who wants to VLOG then get them this camera with the matching shotgun mic, and the tripod kit. You’ll be giving the best gift to keep that person busy and you’ll tap into their creative mind.

Amazing camera, but no flash
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera was really nice. It took extremely good quality photos and videos. We loved that it was touch screen so it was very easy to use. The microphone worked very well and we liked how it came with a muffler. Only thing we disliked, and the reason we exchanged it, was it came with no default flash. It is our fault that we didn’t notice that before we bought it but if you don’t care to have a flash or have to buy an external flash this camera is PERFECT
