Sony - ZV-1F Vlog Camera for Content Creators and Vloggers - Black

Great camera, really good for live streaming and recordi g YouTube videos. For a digital camera you can't beat the price,especially for a sony. The microphone and windscreen are a little quiet and picks up on th wind even with it on. Otbing a shotfun mic and windscreen wont fix. Can also fix it when editing, it's 21 or 22 megapixels can't remember, but it blows the videoqaulity of galaxy S23 out of the water also photos as well. Love the amount of customization and the awb, which comes in handy if shooting something bright. Has auto exposure correction too, but I prefer to fiddle with that myself because it sometimes adjust too slow crushing out balcks or making the photos/videos washed out. Overall for the price thos one is a steal forsure. You can also find some cheaper lense to screw on to this of you want to get a better zoomed in photo. The max might be 52mm, not sure but thats what mine is. The only downside to that is a 52mm lense with at least 25x zoom is going to be a little cosltly. Overall I am very satisfied, if you use it to record gaming content on YouTube, Get a capture card and the right micro hdmi, you can stream in 720p which is the norm especially on platforms like twitch YouTube can stream up to 1080p at a higher bitrate the usbc wont go any higher than that, so if ypu wanna squeeze 1080p out of a stream you need hdmi and a capture card. Overall fantastic camera and would reccomend it to anyone not trying to drop 800 to 1500 on a Nikon.

Love this thing! Affordable (in terms of mirror less, high-quality cams), compact, and easy to use. The app is decent but I personally don’t use it all that much. I see where it could be useful though. My favorite thing is the preset settings it has. Want a warmer, cooler, lower contrast, etc? It has a preset. If that doesn’t suit your needs, the settings are super easy to run through and adjust. The touch-screen is fantastic, it may be a little harder to use if you have larger hands (I would use a stylus if that’s the case) for me it’s great. Very responsive and good image. I mainly use it for streaming on twitch. This is where there’s a small but understandable downside. Which is the USB function caps out at 720p30fps. If you use a hdmi cable with a capture card though, the quality improvement is insane! (Tip: Elgato is overpriced imo, I suggest looking at Mirabox. Has done me well the last few months and has really nice build quality.) Don’t want to read all that? Well here’s the conclusion: Get it. It’s great if a quality budget camera is what you’re looking for.

Originally bought this camera for the Eras Tour in New Orleans! This camera has great quality for up close videos and it's super easy to carry around. I'm a newbie at camera, so I didn't know that it didn't come with an additional lens nor a flash. For videos I don't need a flash, but when I wanted to take some pictures I did want a flash. You can purchase additional accessories like a flash attachment if you are mainly taking videos. The zoom is good, but not for long distance. Probably could do 20 feet max. It was perfect for the concert, and the audio quality was perfect. Only wish the zoom was better and I could see Taylor better in the videos. ( but that's my bad for not doing research) Otherwise this camera is perfect for vacations where you want to video your travels/family/friends!
