    The Sony-ZV-1F Camera was perfect for my goal which was to begin content creating. The image is very clear and the quality of video and sound is subpar. It is a very good starter camera for people looking into beginning their vloggoing careers.

    I purchased this for my son who is an aspiring photographer. I have the zv-1, so we both have a lot in common. He takes it everywhere. It is truly a special camera to him. It does everything a 17 year old photography student could want and more.

    Nice portable camera for vlogging. No viewfinder but has a portable screen that you can flip and reverse so you can see yourself Also works for streaming. OBS YouTube twitch although it’s limited to 720p in that mode . Also you’ll need a dummy battery to run long continuous streams , It can overheat so room temp is a concern. Mine came bundled with the selfie stick that has convenient buttons for zoom and controls. Will record in 4k 30fps. But will only stream in 720p The bokeh (blur) mode is pretty weak . All in all should get the job done .
