    Camera quality of for videos is really good. My you tube videos look very professional and it captures a lot of good lighting. Not impressed with the microphone, but there are a lot of great options in the market which are compatible to attach with it. A memory card purchase will be required separate from this camera.

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

    The Sony ZV-1F Vlog Camera is an outstanding device for content creators and vloggers who want to capture high-quality videos and photos with ease. This camera is packed with advanced features and functionalities that are tailored to the needs of modern content creators. Here are some of the reasons why I would highly recommend this camera: Firstly, the Sony ZV-1F comes with a high-quality lens that delivers sharp, detailed, and vibrant images. The camera has a fast aperture of f/1.8-2.8, which makes it ideal for shooting in low-light conditions. It also features a powerful 24-70mm zoom lens that lets you capture a wide range of shots, from close-ups to wide-angle landscapes. Secondly, the camera's autofocus system is one of the best in the market. The Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking features ensure that your subject is always in focus, regardless of whether they are moving or still. This is particularly useful for vloggers who want to capture themselves while moving around. Thirdly, the Sony ZV-1F has a range of features that make it easy to create professional-looking videos. The camera has a built-in ND filter that lets you shoot in bright sunlight without overexposing your footage. It also has a range of picture profiles, including S-Log2 and S-Log3, which give you greater flexibility when it comes to color grading your footage. Lastly, the camera's design is both sleek and functional. It has a comfortable grip and a flip-out LCD screen that makes it easy to see what you are shooting. The camera also has a microphone jack, which allows you to attach an external microphone for even better audio quality. Overall, the Sony ZV-1F Vlog Camera is an excellent device for content creators and vloggers who want to take their content to the next level. With its advanced features and functionalities, high-quality lens, and sleek design, this camera is a great investment for anyone serious about creating professional-looking videos and photos.

    Great for doing podcasts and zoom calls! This is a purpose built camera for video, as such, the photos it takes aren't the best. However, l set the camera up once with all the settings for my particular video studio setup. It produces great low noise video on lesser lit situations. Well lit sets pop like magic! Setting up as a live stream/zoom camera is easy and produces 720 video. So not super crisp amazing footage, but probably the best video on the zoom call! This camera is perfect for short form content as well! All around great for podcasters or youtubers that have a stationary studio! I haven't used it hand held yet, so can't make any review about that.

    This camera is best for beginner level vlogging content creation! I ordered it last month on the 27th and it came earlier than expected to arrive! Highly recommend: SD adapter card reader and Sandisk sd card and tripod stand and possibly a land yard to hold it and a screen protector for the screen! But yes definitely 10/10 !

    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.
