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

    • Overheats too easy
Color: Black Style: Camera Body
It overheats far too quickly. I saw this could be a problem but it shuts off so quickly when shooting at higher settings even with a dummy battery. It does have great features but if you are looking to shoot anything over 30 minutes don't bother with this camera!

    • 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

    • 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

    • The ZV-E1 is a low light ISO god, just get a fan
Color: Black Style: Camera Body
I use the Sony ZV-E1 as a webcam/mirror. I leave it on all day (but turn it off at night), and this is possible without any overheating problems thanks to a 3rd party fan attachment. You must buy one of these fans. Otherwise, the ZV-E1 will overheat constantly. This camera performs excellently in low light. In a dark room with just my computer monitors and a dim key light lighting me, I get satisfying exposure even with 1/60 shutter speed and a F2.8 lens. It needs like 12,800 to 25,600 ISO for it, but for webcam use, the picture still looks great. An F1.8 lens needs like 6400 to 12,800 ISO. An F1.4 lens needs around 2000-8000 ISO. (These might be overestimates too because I think I got these numbers while using 0 EV Compensation, but I discovered that I need to apply -0.7 EV Compensation to get the right brightness in my dark room. This means less ISO is required.) A month ago, I didn't know anything about cameras, and I was super anxious about picking the right one. Well, a month later I feel like I got the right one. It's an absolute beast in low light. ... show more
