    I'm still getting used to my new camera. A little heavier, won't fit in my shirt pocket, but I'm hoping for the best. I just want to point and shoot.

    Great portable camera for video. The menu is easy to navigate and you can quickly learn how to use the camera. The one weakness is the size of the sensor limits low light image quality, but for most people this won't be an issue, and there really is no alternative if you want a camera this small and portable. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars.

    This is the perfect vlogging camera. The picture quality is amazing, as you would expect from Sony. The sound is crisp. Be aware that you will need to purchase an SD card, as it doesn’t come with one.

    Great camera especially for beginner and vloggers! Small lightweight and easy to store and travel with. The only downside I would say is that the battery dies kind of quickly even when fully charged.

      Hi CourtneyG,

      Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.

      Thank you for your feedback on our ZV1M2 camera. This camera is specifically designed to be user-friendly and portable, allowing you to capture those special moments effortlessly. Regarding your concern about the battery life, while it's disappointing to hear that the battery drains relatively quickly, we appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. One possible solution is carrying spare batteries or investing in an external battery pack could provide extra power for extended shooting sessions.

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

    I love this camera! It’s the perfect balance between compactness and power. Being able to control the depth of field with aperture priority is a game changer - and totally sets it apart from phone cameras. The image quality is excellent as well. It takes some time to learn all of the buttons. The advanced features are not very intuitive. But after an hour or so of “fiddling” and experimenting - you should have a great handle on it and be able to take advantage of all its features.

    Simple to use and delivers good quality images and videos. A bit pricey, but worth it if a GoPro does not suite your needs (such as audio). Would be good if flash was included as well.
