I haven't had the camera for very long but I like it a lot so far. I'm a decently experienced photographer but I wanted to try out vlogging and this gets the job done. The picture quality isn't that great but the video and microphone quality is pretty good for one this cheap. I like how small and portable it is, as well as the flip screen. I also like that it can connect to my phone to transfer photos, and that it can connect to my computer to be a webcam. It's not super user friendly, there's a lot of trial and error, but overall it's really good if you're just starting out vlogging, wouldn't recommend for photography.

Great camera for aesthetic and casual photos. Good quality pictures and videos and it’s small enough to fit in your pocket. Focus mode is also really good and comes with a lens cap to keep your lens protected.

Originally bought this camera for the Eras Tour in New Orleans! This camera has great quality for up close videos and it's super easy to carry around. I'm a newbie at camera, so I didn't know that it didn't come with an additional lens nor a flash. For videos I don't need a flash, but when I wanted to take some pictures I did want a flash. You can purchase additional accessories like a flash attachment if you are mainly taking videos. The zoom is good, but not for long distance. Probably could do 20 feet max. It was perfect for the concert, and the audio quality was perfect. Only wish the zoom was better and I could see Taylor better in the videos. ( but that's my bad for not doing research) Otherwise this camera is perfect for vacations where you want to video your travels/family/friends!

What an absolutely great camera, especially for the price. If you want to have a small hand sized camera that you can take with you anywhere and get real solid content, whether vlog or not, this camera will work for you. Using this vertically as well makes TikTok’s, Reels, YouTube Shorts, etc stand out with quality. The microphone with the wind screen is pretty darn good too. It helps a lot. If $500 is your limit, I’d suggest this camera.

This camera has been on my Christmas list for years and I’ve finally purchased one. The quality is phenomenal, it’s very lightweight, and easy for beginning vloggers (good if you do not want a lot of attention while filming around crowds). The battery life is good as well, I do recommend getting a spare if you’re recording the full day. Pictures are also great, love the color grading. Best investment and I would definitely buy another!

Grabbed this little gem for a road trip and game changer it packs 4K magic a flipping screen and auto focus that actually follows you not your cat. Don’t expect Spielberg level but close enough when you’re front and center lightweight and steals the show every time if confidence had a camera, this would be its face!! Highly recommend!

A decent video camera. It has 4K or lower qualities, lots of settings, easy to capture footage and photos, lightweight, good looking. The slow motion feature is also pretty good.
I bought this with me on an international trip a few months ago. Good for vloggers and content creators.
Some cons are that the focus is so bad. Other video cameras and even iPhones have much better stability than this. On playbacks, the footage is so distorted and shaky. It gives you a headache. Also, the microphone picks up too much the movement and contact with the camera making videos unbearable to watch in full. I have added some other accessories like the Sony bluetooth stand and the Sony ECMG1 Shotgun Microphone.

The ZV‑1F has a cold shoe only, so there is no way for the camera to trigger a flash through the shoe, and it has no built‑in flash either.
• That means it’s great for video with a small LED light or mic on top, but not a good choice for casual “party pictures with flash” where you just turn on a flash and press the shutter.
• If you try to fix this with LED panels or ring lights, the camera gets noticeably bulkier and loses the compact, throw‑in‑your‑bag feel.

Omg I am in LOVE with this camera. I’ve been doing YouTube and social media for about 2 years and this is the PERFECT first time camera after deciding to get serious in my content. The price was really cheap compared to other cameras, it had super high quality, touch screen, and it’s so easy to carry around. It also takes amazing pictures not just videos but you will need to buy a flash separately - I highly recommend getting this camera!!

this camera is very beginner friendly. i adjusted the settings to my own liking and can say a few things about it so far. the coloring may be a bit dull and the exposure has to be readjusted depending on the light condition of your environment. i have to say my iphone is better at adjusting to the light than this camera. however, the quality is actually pretty good. if you use 4k resolution it will drain your battery rapidly more than what i thought it would. overall i wouldn’t exactly recommend this camera simply because i would rather stick to my phone but it’s not terrible either.

This camera is easy to use. It's small and light weight you can carry around or can put in your pocket. This camera has focus on the object too. The screen can flip out and already turn on your camera so you can get your shot quickly. I have 2 DSLR camera (Nikon & Sony a7iii) but they're quite heavy. Sometimes i'm prefer to use my smaller camera. I would like to recommand this camera for the beginner a nd anyone that going on a vacation or for everyday use.

We needed a camera for our Hawaii vacation and decided to go with the Sony ZV-1F creator bundle, after comparing it with GoPro 11 creator edition. We are very satisfied with the camera as it takes great photos and videos even with the limited zooming capabilities of this camera. The settings are also very easy to navigate. We also purchased this bundle on sale for $499.00. Satisfied Customers here.

It came so fast. Everything was great when i unboxed it. i HIGHLY recommend getting extra batteries at least two more other than that it’s an amazing camera. I even got a white case for it online. I had to play around with the settings for a while to get the video look i wanted. I wasn’t sure whether to order it from best buy or amazon. I’m glad i went with bestbuy
