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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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! 

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

This camera is great for vlogging and making videos that are up close. Very easy to use and download content to your computer for editing. This camera does not have a flash and cannot zoom very far. I am enjoying using this camera and my kids are having fun with it as well.

The perfect camera for first time bloggers! Very easy to use and super user friendly! Incredible quality for filming tutorials or vlog style clips. I would recommend this camera to all wanting to start somewhere 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.

Got this for a family trip to mainly record videos but wanted something that could take decent photos. Fit in my coat and jeans pockets and did exactly what I needed it to.

Absolutely amazing camera especially if you’re a beginner and want something to start out with. Lighter in weight way more than a phone. Portable and easy to navigate!!

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.

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!

Very good camera for beginners! I would definitely recommend this to someone who has never used a camera before but wants to try it out. You can record in 4k as well so the quality is really good. There are also plenty of YouTube videos you can watch about how to use this camera.
