    What I've been waiting for

    As someone who's been vlogging with my phone, I'm glad I waited to grab the Sony ZV1-ii. It's been a game-changer! Now don't get me wrong, my phone does a decent job, and the nicer dslr cameras would probably give you some spectacular cinematic views, but if you're looking for something light to carry and gently toss into your bag, look no further. I was waiting for an upgrade from the previous version which had some complaints about wide angles and microphone, which I'm happy to say have been my selling points. So that it's easier to read, here are my most notable biggest wins that sold me: Pros: + Large sensor + Wider lenns + Same 3-capsule microphone as + Additional autofocus features + Faster turn off + Tripod thread is farther away from battery/SD card door (easier to open) + Touch-driven menu user interface (much easier to navigate) + cinematic vlog mode + Webcam usage + portability + came in a recycled and compact box, small carbon footprint + most of the materials were recycled And the misses: Battery life EIS only (no OIS) Grip is plastic Wider lens (double edge sword, less reach) $100 price jump Overall, the Sony ZV1 II is a great upgrade for vloggers, content creators, and even the average person. It's super easy to use, beginner-friendly, with exceptional video quality, enhanced autofocus and audio recording. Can't recommend this camera enough for your next project. I definitely can't wait to use this on my next trip or just have it in my bag for spontaneous shoots!

    Bought this mainly for the streamimg functionality but the power it takes through the USB isnt even enough to keep it charged while streaming! And the stream is even limited to 720p60 through the USB. This is just awful outdated charging technology. On a $900 camera i think its fair to expect it to be used in the use cases they advertise.

      Hi Zane,

      Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.

      Thank you so much for sharing your feedback on our ZV1-M2 camera. We appreciate your valuable input and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Our ZV1-M2 camera can actually provide power via the USB C port and allows you to prolong the streaming time. As long as the battery is at least 50% or higher, it will use the USB power first and trickle use the battery power. When the camera is off then it will charge the battery. During USB streaming, power is supplied to the camera from the computer. If you want to consume as little computer power as possible, set [USB Power Supply] to [Off].

      The format of the streaming data is as follows. Video format: MJPEGResolution: HD720 (1280×720) Frame rate: 30 fps / 25 fps Audio format: LPCM, 48 kHz, 16 bit, 2 ch. If you want to prolong the Recording capability, then you would need to use a USB-C PD device.

      If you have any other concerns or questions, feel free to contact us at 239-245-6360.
