    I absolutely LOVE this camera! I have camera but I have done my research before purchasing this camera. I am a YouTuber (channel: Anisa Reign) and I was looking for a camera to mainly record my videos with. I wanted to upgrade from my canon 740 to a Sony and this one is perfect! The video quality is what I was looking for and it is AMAZING!

    After using this camera for a good 8 months I would like to say I’m thoroughly pleased! The colors and vibrancy of the pictures are truly remarkable. I’m not going to lie, I ordered this camera to be used for taking photos rather than video. But when you are taking video, it is gorgeous.

    ] Still More Versatile Than ZV-1F or ZV-1 Mk II I'm just writing this review to point out something that makes this camera much more versatile than the newer ZV-1F or the ZV-1 II that "replaces" the ZV-1. The ZV-1 has optical image stabilization in the lens, the other two do not. Many people have pointed out the slight difference this makes in video, vs. the digital only on the newer cameras. But this misses one important thing. If you are going to use this camera as a compact travel camera or any other use case that will involve taking pictures, digital stabilization does nothing for photos. This means the ZV-1F/1 II have no image stabilization in photos. The ZV-1 has optical image stabilization when taking pictures. This is beneficial at longer focal lengths and especially in lower light. If you are looking for a travel camera or general use camera, the optical stabilization in the lens of the ZV-1 gives it an advantage over the others
