Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this thing! Affordable (in terms of mirror less, high-quality cams), compact, and easy to use. The app is decent but I personally don’t use it all that much. I see where it could be useful though. My favorite thing is the preset settings it has. Want a warmer, cooler, lower contrast, etc? It has a preset. If that doesn’t suit your needs, the settings are super easy to run through and adjust. The touch-screen is fantastic, it may be a little harder to use if you have larger hands (I would use a stylus if that’s the case) for me it’s great. Very responsive and good image. I mainly use it for streaming on twitch. This is where there’s a small but understandable downside. Which is the USB function caps out at 720p30fps. If you use a hdmi cable with a capture card though, the quality improvement is insane! (Tip: Elgato is overpriced imo, I suggest looking at Mirabox. Has done me well the last few months and has really nice build quality.) Don’t want to read all that? Well here’s the conclusion: Get it. It’s great if a quality budget camera is what you’re looking for.

Now… i want to become a content creator and this is my second camera but my first camera i invested money into. I loveee this camera especially as a beginner with just starting up. The camera quality and the mic is 100% clear it’s not to heavy & i didn’t even change the settings or anything. The settings are easy to use no difficulties at all. I recommend this camera 100% not even just for starting/upcoming content creators.

Only concerns are battery life, difficulty with connecting the WiFi to my phone (I live in the country LOL), & no flash! Otherwise - it’s everything you’d want! I previously purchased the canon Mark III for a trip, and this one is much better at auto-focus in the video! If you’re in between the two, in my opinion, the Canon is better for photos (due to flash & connection to phone speed) while the Sony is better for videos with the object following, etc. Sony is definitely more user/beginner friendly. Overall, I do love this camera! I uploaded a pic I took of my mom and dog with the Sony (day version) & myself (night version) with the Canon below!

The Sony ZV-1F is an incredible compact camera that delivers professional-quality results in a small, lightweight body. Its fast autofocus and crisp 4K video make it perfect for vlogging or capturing everyday moments with stunning clarity. The touchscreen interface is super intuitive, and the flip-out screen makes framing shots effortless. I love how the built-in microphone captures clear, natural audio without needing extra gear. Overall, it’s the perfect camera for creators who want top-tier performance without the bulk.

Great camera for traveling! its lightweight and takes amazing pictures and Videos. you can change settings with ease and it records great audio. I used this for recent travel and the quality is amazing.the swivel screen helps be in focus and know what you are filming all the time. overall a great compact camera with great quality.

Great camera, really good for live streaming and recordi g YouTube videos. For a digital camera you can't beat the price,especially for a sony. The microphone and windscreen are a little quiet and picks up on th wind even with it on. Otbing a shotfun mic and windscreen wont fix. Can also fix it when editing, it's 21 or 22 megapixels can't remember, but it blows the videoqaulity of galaxy S23 out of the water also photos as well. Love the amount of customization and the awb, which comes in handy if shooting something bright. Has auto exposure correction too, but I prefer to fiddle with that myself because it sometimes adjust too slow crushing out balcks or making the photos/videos washed out. Overall for the price thos one is a steal forsure. You can also find some cheaper lense to screw on to this of you want to get a better zoomed in photo. The max might be 52mm, not sure but thats what mine is. The only downside to that is a 52mm lense with at least 25x zoom is going to be a little cosltly. Overall I am very satisfied, if you use it to record gaming content on YouTube, Get a capture card and the right micro hdmi, you can stream in 720p which is the norm especially on platforms like twitch YouTube can stream up to 1080p at a higher bitrate the usbc wont go any higher than that, so if ypu wanna squeeze 1080p out of a stream you need hdmi and a capture card. Overall fantastic camera and would reccomend it to anyone not trying to drop 800 to 1500 on a Nikon.

i loved my itemmm !!! works well and easy to use camera is great

Very great product very easy to use take very good pictures

In the fast-paced world of content creation, finding the perfect balance between quality, convenience, and affordability can be a challenge. Enter the Sony Camera, a compact powerhouse that checks all the boxes for vloggers and creators alike. First and foremost, let's talk about quality. With its cutting-edge technology and precision engineering, this camera delivers stunning visuals that rival even larger, more expensive models. Whether you're capturing breathtaking landscapes or detailing the nuances of everyday life, every shot is crisp, clear, and bursting with vibrant color. But what truly sets this camera apart is its size and convenience. Measuring just a few inches in width and weighing next to nothing, it's the ultimate companion for on-the-go creators. Slip it into your pocket or bag, and you're ready to capture moments wherever inspiration strikes. No more lugging around bulky equipment or missing out on spontaneous opportunities.

Its long-lasting battery ensures that you can keep filming for hours on end without missing a beat. Now, you might be thinking that all this sounds too good to be true, especially when it comes to affordability. But fear not, because this camera won't break the bank. Sony has managed to pack in all these incredible features without sacrificing your hard-earned cash, making it accessible to creators of all levels. In conclusion, if you're in the market for a camera that combines top-notch quality, compact convenience, long battery life, and affordability, look no further than the Sony Camera. It's a game-changer for vloggers, filmmakers, and anyone else who wants to capture the world around them in stunning detail.

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!

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.

The Sony ZV1F is an overall great camera! You get a big bang for your buck and the top features that the Sony ZV one offers. And did I mention that it is out of the box ready! This camera is so easy to use and to navigate through, its so beginner friendly. The only downfall is that when comparing the two, the ZV1F’s stability is not spot on as it does not have the auto focus instability features that are tied to the internal stability like the ZV one does. At some points of recording with the stability feature on, I was able to see a Jell-O, like a fact on the outside of my video so that turned me a little off, but other than that the quality for that camera is spot on and great. It’s a great alternative for those who are on a money saving crunch and who needs something to go ahead and start doing YouTube or streaming with.  i’d definitely recommend this camera if you are not going to be actively walking around with it and if you want to use it more so for a stationary videos like sit down videos, then this is your go to cheap affordable option that does not lack quality and shoots in 4K! 

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.

oh my God I literally love this camera. This camera has done so much for me since I’ve got it. It has the best quality it’s easy to program and it’s just so much fun is travel size so it can fit anywhere in the suitcase book bag you name it get your camera and start that YouTube or live stream now I would definitely recommend this camera for any small content creators or anyone that wants to get out there and explore the world and record and have a safe place to have your videos. I recommend this camera 10/10 would recommend.

Phenomenal camera for a phenomenal price! The image and photo quality is 4K and really clear. It’s super easy to use, and you can even connect it to your phone which is awesomeeee!!! The ability to face the screen of the camera front and backwards so you can take and record selfies or regular is great

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.

I bought this for my trip to San Fran and I love how my pictures came out! it is super easy to use and fits perfectly in my purse. I do wish it came with a light but I bought a separate attachment

Most of the complaints about this camera are coming from people who are trying to use it for more than just vlogging/ filming videos strictly for posting on YouTube. This is Sony’s intro vlogging camera & it does the job that it is being marketed and made for. The camera itself is light and compact and you can pretty much use it straight out the box. Also, I haven’t had any trouble with the battery life like others have stated. I think as long as you charge it before going out and you’re not trying to use it to livestream outside, you should be fine. The only con I would have to point out would be its zoom or lack thereof.. but I guess it’s meant more for up close filming anyway. Check out my YouTube @HelloHellaBella My first vlog shot entirely on the ZV-1F: https://youtu.be/CzMO-_yWwnM?si=ujEWvRB_FQiyrQPs

One of the best cameras I’ve ever bought. It’s really easy to set up or if you need help, just look on TikTok. I’ve bought this camera to take everyday photos or pictures when I dress up. The quality is perfect. You really don’t have to buy the SD card reader because you can download the “Creators” app and get it transferred directly to your phone quickly. I love this camera and it’s perfect for beginners!!

This camera was exactly what I was looking for, great for recording content, easy to transfer to my phone, crispy images, and fits everywhere
