    Love my camera! Starting my YouTube was challenging on my iPhone because I barely had storage for my long vlogs so this was so helpful and the staff really broke everything down and recommended great accessories I still use to this day ! I love my camera and such a good pick for just starting out and compared to other cameras that are over priced it was so worth it.

    This was a great option for an affordable, but great quality camera with great detail and vintage photos. I love it. I don’t regret my purchase. It doesn’t come with flash, however, and it doesn’t accept flash attachments so you would have to get an LED light, but I am loving my camera and it is great for beginners like me who want to take everyday photos/videos. Video quality is exceptional.

    ZV1F vs ZV1

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    ZV-1F is a newer release and has a USB-C The old ZV-1 model still has micro-USB The dimensions are the not same. ZV-1F has a full touch menu ZV1 only had a touch focus (not for navigating menu). This is marketed as "For Vloggers". It's an entry level more than a pro level, like the RX100 (for more heavy pro users), with its limitations. If you just want a simple "vlogging" camera where you hit record and some light manual adjustments, this camera is for you. Battery is NP-BX1 (same with most Sony compact cameras) I've been a Canon photographer, but I think Sony is more advanced and innovative with their camera and features. The "Product Showcase Set" feature is really cool and works well; if you do product videos, it can rack focus back and forth smoothly of you and the object in front, like holding a pencil.

    The picture quality is good. I took it on a hiking trip and I got exactly 1 hr of footage with the 60gig sd they provided in package. It lasted about an hour while out before dying. I would suggest getting a second battery pack and larger SD card. I am a newbie and I am using pretty much as is and so far I like. Of course could be better but you would be paying more.

    Title: Perfect for Vloggers and Content Creators!

    Review: I recently purchased the Sony ZV-1F Vlog Camera from Best Buy, and I'm absolutely thrilled with it. As a content creator, I find that this camera ticks all the boxes for what I need. The video quality is outstanding, with crisp, clear images and vibrant colors. The camera's user interface is intuitive, making it easy for me to adjust settings on the fly. The product's design is sleek and portable, which is great for shooting on location. The flip screen is a fantastic feature for framing myself in my vlogs, and the microphone captures audio with great clarity, reducing the need for an external mic. Battery life has been more than adequate for my shooting sessions, and the camera's quick autofocus means I never miss a moment. I've found the connectivity options very helpful for transferring files to my other devices for editing. All in all, I give the Sony ZV-1F five stars for its quality, ease of use, and versatility. It's boosted my productivity and the quality of my content. I highly recommend it to any vlogger or content creator looking for a reliable and high-performing camera. Thanks, Best Buy, for another great product in my toolkit!
