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.

Came in like new with original packaging and got $600 off just because the packaging was a little ripped. Not ONE sign of use anywhere. Sensor was spotless, screen spotless, body spotless, even had the sticker still on it, zero overheating issues, records like a charm. I can’t believe I am able save so much money with the open box method!!! Great seller, definitely would recommend! ... show more

    • Great camera in a small package.
Color: White Style: Camera Body
This has been a great video camera for me. Everything has been fine except for one single hiccup. Doing a long interview (around 50 minutes) 4k 30fps in a room around 85 degrees Fahrenheit with no air movement is too much. It did overheat. The camera was new to me at the time, so I didn't know how hard I could push it. I heard of the possible overheating from watching many YouTube videos, so, thankfully, I did have a cell phone recording at the same time, so I didn't lose any of the interview. I turned it back on immediately and was blowing on the back of the camera for the last 10-15 minutes of the interview to keep it cooled off. Honestly, even the smallest breeze does seem to be enough to keep it cooled off. Other than that one time I've never had any issue. It is a fantastic camera, and everything I've done with it looks absolutely amazing. ... show more

    • Best camera for creators in 2023
Color: Black Style: Camera Body
Review Image by Joseph Halcrow Joseph Halcrow
I have had the Sony ZV-E1 glued to my hand since it arrived in the mail. I have shot BTS and some scenes for a commercial shoot that we did, I have hosted a photographers meetup and used this to take photos, I have shot thumbnails for YT videos, created vlogs, and recorded an hour long podcast episode with breaks every 20-30 mins. I was worried when I bought this camera that it was going to be some gimmicky vlog camera but after doing extensive research and watching pretty much every Sony cam video made I decided it was worth the risk. As someone who is a run and gun shooter this camera is amazing for a grab and go situation. Now that companies are also starting to create rigs that fit this camera I am working on getting a small rig cage and kit so that I can also build it out. Even without the cage though this is also the perfect camera to run off of a gimbal, behind the scenes, a primary or secondary camera, or pretty much whatever your creative needs are depending on the situation. The intelligent auto feature in this camera makes it feel like you have a virtual assistant and the fact that the menu is so customizable makes it a really enjoyable efficient camera when shooting in manual as well. I am very pleased with this camera. ... show more

    • Amazing
Color: Black Style: with 28-60mm Lens
This camera is over criticized and underrated. The people who talk bad about it never owned one and only reiterated what online reviewers said without actually using it. This camera has taken me through travels in the deserts of Texas, whole day music video shoots, and several sets. Not once has it overheated. This camera's power is underestimated not only with it's beautiful sensor, but also the features it has like it's mic (the best onboard mic I've had on a camera) the ai auto framing, the variable shutter, and the stabilization. Also, it's form factor is perfect because you can make it as small or big as you want with a cage. This camera has changed my life, not only in film-making, but how I see the world, and how I can use this tool to show it. I heard a lot of reviews online about the camera overheating, but I never had that issue. Honestly, even if it did, the beauty of this camera's sensor beats everything, from the dual native ISO to the amazing SLog 3 profile. I love the small form factor that helps me when traveling, documenting, and even gives more flexibilities on film sets. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who is interested in leveling up their videos and photos. ... show more

    • Camera is junk if you do anything but take pictures, don't buy this model
Color: Black Style: Camera Body
Right out of the box this camera started overheating in an hour and 40 minutes causing it to shut down and it just got worse the longer I used it. I had a professional video producer who uses models very similar to this come and take a look but each suggestion made it worse as it degraded over time. It now can't go much over 30 minutes and it shuts down. It took almost 90 days to find out that this camera is either poorly designed or defective. I'm not a professional so I don't use it every day, hence it took longer to find the problem. Amazon offers a 30 day return policy so I'm stuck with a $2000 plus paper weight as far as using it for podcasting and online meetings. Amazon says this is a frequently returned item, I bet the reason it's not 100 percent returned is because most people do what I did and try to solve the problem and then lose the 30 day window to return it. Don't buy this model, try another model, Sony needs to recall it. You'll thank me later ( : ... show more

    • Best camera I've ever owned
Color: Black Style: with 28-60mm Lens
I’ve been running the ZV-E1 as my primary studio and field rig, and it's hands-down the most capable compact full-frame camera I’ve used. The video I capture makes me look like a much better photographer than I am. Almost everything on this camera is automatic or has an auto feature which is great for people who are just learning. This is hand down one of my favorite purchases ever. Truly my dream camera. ... show more

    • Beautiful Video but overheats
Color: Black Style: Camera Body
Great sensor in a mediocre package. It overheats really fast. The internal mic sounds great when it’s AI has it pointed in the right direction, which is about 70% of the time. The dynamic active stabilization is almost good enough not to need a gimbal… almost. I wish I’d bought the A7siii or A7iv instead. ... show more
