Sony ZV1F perfect for vacation and scenery vlogs!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the updated wide angle fixed lens. This was one of the main reasons I got the ZV1F over the first ZV1. The video quality and picture quality are the same quality as before. This camera is ideal for vacation and scenery vlogging over the ZV1 because you get to see more scenery without having to use a separate attachment lens. You’ll also need a good gimble, the zhiyun m2 crane works well (it barely fits, but fits good because they moved the tripod screw-in mount further to the side of the camera from the ZV1).

Empty box
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wish I could give a better review for the camera given I received the empty box in Best Buy still hasn’t done anything about it after canceling the item from my order and promising getting me a refund. I still haven’t gotten anything and it’s been over a month later so take that gamble if you will

Not exactly what I was looking for
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought this. had a headphone jack but it does not. Because of that, I returned it. However, if you want just a straight up vlogging camera that is an easy set up and don't care about the mic jack, it's a good deal and Sony makes great product.

Great little camera.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little camera. Needs help definitely with stabilizing with software when your walking around. But for vlogging it’s perfect. Don’t buy this thinking your making a movie with it because that’s not what it’s for.
