Description

The ZV-E1 is Sony's first vlog camera with a Full-frame 12.1 MP1 Exmor R image sensor that is optimized for 4K and delivers 15+ stops of latitude, low noise, high sensitivity, and gorgeous full-frame bokeh. It can record 4K movies with direct pixel readout and 10-bitdepth and 4:2:2 color sampling using Long GOP or All Intra compression, making it possible to grade for fuller, more natural gradations while generally providing greater editing freedom. Cinematic Vlog Setting provides an intuitive way to create scenes that look like feature movies. By choosing a Look, Mood and AF transition speed, anyone can create cinematic vlog footage that ideally matches the scene and creative intent. The Cinematic Vlog Setting includes "Look" options such as S-Cinetone that can enhance skin tones, "Mood" options that can emphasize specific colours, and the AF transition speed that determines how quickly autofocus will switch between subjects. New features such as AI-based Auto Framing, Framing Stabilizer, and Multiple Face Recognition join the popular features enjoyed in other Sony ZV cameras, like Product Showcase setting and Background Bokeh Control, to delivery Sony's most powerful and refined ILC camera for content creators who desire to record and create content of the highest quality.

  • Do you want professional quality video for your social media? This is the camera to do it for you!
Color: Black
Do you want to be noticed for the quality of your videos? Because this camera is how. you get to be noticed for the quality of your videos. Since switching to the ZV-E1, my videos have taken on an amazing pro look and feel. Many long-time followers of my social media have made comments and sent me messages asking if I hired someone to do my videos because the quality of them is so high. I had to smile as I answered them, “Nope; just a new camera.” The ZV-E1 will bring out the best in you and your abilities and push your capabilities and creativity in ways you never knew. The ideas literally flow out of my head now and become reality because this camera is so versatile and easy to use. I’m sure you’ve read many other spec-heavy reviews for this camera. Specs are all well and good, but once you hold it in your hands and start making some videos, you’ll know you made the right decision. It’s simply amazing. ... show more

  • Good video images but has an incredibly complex menu system
Color: Black
I like the camera but the user interface is horrible. After spending days, I mean days, reading the documentation and playing with it I found the one feature I need, in fact pretty much every videographer needs, is the ability to do "reveal shots". You have to set everything by hand to do this. You can not simply press the shutter button down halfway to lock in aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance. Pretty much no one wants these things to change in the middle of a shot. How could Sony not know this? ... show more
