  • Great starter camera
Style: Camera only Color: Black
Good general purpose vlogging camera. Very high quality and durable, but that’s to be expected. You have to buy the storage separately, as well as a charger. The battery life can be a bit fast, especially for videos. Pictures are amazingly where this shines in my opinions.

  • Great Streaming Camera, some tips
Style: Camera only Color: Black
As everywhere online will tell you, this camera is perfect for streaming! The USB streaming feature is particularly convenient. The battery life isn't great, I get maybe around two hours, but if you purchase a "dummy battery" you can plug it directly into the wall. If you do this, make sure you give it the proper amount of power, as too low can cause the image quality to drop. Idk what too high does i never tried. It can also have issues with overheating if running for hours, so maybe keep a fan or cooling pad close by. As a video camera it is also great!! Wonderful autofocus and such, great face tracking/background blur. All can be turned off if you don't like that . Pretty good for photos too, but so are most phones these days. The camera is not really for this purpose. However, you can transfer photos/videos directly from the camera to your phone over wifi, which is super nice since many phones no longer have an SD slot! Super convenient. No lense options but again its meant to be an easy to use video camera, not for professional photography. Very good for what it is! ... show more

  • Great video/photos, image stabiliz OK, mic is ok external mic is better, battery life disappointing
Style: Camera only Color: Black
This camera was getting tons of great reviews on Youtube....I was Between this and the Cannon M50. All the reviews I saw spoke highly of the mic...most certainly the onboard mic is not "shotgun mic" quality. Upon first use I knew I couldn't use the onboard mic, brings to mind a song lyric "oh..am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world" The mic was one of the appeals of this lightweight point and shoot vlogger friendly camera. Image stabilization is probably a 7 out of 10. Sony video quality goes without saying. So all and all a good vlogging/point and shoot camera. Plan to get an external mic...but a small inexpensive shotgun mic will get the job done. I use Comica CVM Compact. Battery life is a real issue here..so I bought the optional bluetooth mini tripod and I used this for filming and vlogging, don't expect much over 25 mins out of a battery if you're filming...and the battery door/SD card door cannot be opened from the side...so you have to remove the tripod or quick mount every time you change to a new battery or remove/install full size SD card. This is simply a hassle for the user. I'm replacing my Sony AX33...for now I'd rather have the heavy video camera with longer battery life and better image stabilization. All and all it's still a good point and shoot...just lacks in the engineering for easy removal of battery and SD card. Nobody wants to plug in their camera to charge it....especially if it won't last 30 mins during video use. You need to buy additional batteries and a charger...but they're pretty inexpensive. I'd buy it over a Cannon 80D any day of the week if that tells ya anything. Overall it's light, very easy to use, great picture and video quality, decent image stabilization once you learn the camera, battery life is lacking and the mic might be ok for an entry level vlogger....always remember..viewers will forgive bad video...but bad audio will not be tolerated and your watch time will show it. Hope this helps you in your purchase decision. I will buy again if this one gets damaged. It's as light as a feather! ... show more

  • using it as a webcam for YouTube, streaming or screen recording
Style: Camera only Color: Black
I love this camera for what it is, they say its made for content creators, the main reason i got it was it has Clean HDMI out so it works as a webcam, it can recorded as long as you need it to without shutting off like most camera and a few other things that make it a great webcam, some people say the camera does not zoom out wide enough. when i use it its about a arms length away and i have no problem with the field of view as long as you get the image stabilization settings right.. use the heavier image stabilization and it crops in and you don't get that nice wide field of view so so use the middle setting for image stabilization and you dont loose that nice wide angel.. its surprisingly good in lower light situations and even at high iso you do not get much grain in the video, the image quality is not quite as good as something like the Sony A6400 with a 16mm sigma lens but its just a small step down if you ask me. get the camera settings right and change the picture profile settings to your liking and this thing looks great, i have been using it for a few weeks now and its perfect for me, , i have a video on YouTube on how to set this up as a webcam for YouTube or twitch or what ever you may use a webcam for, if you want to find that just search for "Danny Lightning Sony ZV-1 Webcam Setup" search for that on youtube and the video probably pops up, I go through all the in camera settings for webcam use. just get your self a nice capture card and the proper usb cable and change a few setting and you got a amazing looking webcame ZV-1 vs regular webcam ( even the 250 dollar webcams) . this thing blows regular webcams out of the water, this is so much better its not even funny ... show more

  • Fantastic option to create family memories, vlogging is ok in most situations
Style: Camera only Color: Black
Let me start out by saying that I've used dozens of cameras over the past few years as a bit of a gear head. I've had full frame DSLRs, full frame mirrorless, APS-C options, micro 4/3's, etc. Most recently I had the Fuji X100V. Having a growing family I realized that while I love taking pictures of my kids growing up, what really captures the interest of everyone is capturing videos. I could take 1,000 pictures from a family trip and the things that the family will want to see is the video, not the pictures. For this I realized that having a more compelling video option was needed. In addition having a 7 year old girl, she's starting to want to make her own videos, which I post to her private YT channel. Pros - Having a compact option with a decently fast lens. The lens could be wider, it could be longer. There's a lot of could haves. Why not ask for a 12-500 mm lens? For what it is, it's a good compromise, has a decent enough range and fast lens, which is needed for a 1" sensor. The 24-200 would've been too slow to shoot indoors without an external light. - The front flip screen. It makes talking head videos easier to shoot, putting it on a tripod and still having a hot/cold shoe for an external mic or a light source is fantastic. - Button layout. Having a record button, having a tally light are great. Cons - I would've loved to see a better use of a touch screen interface. Canon has it right for the most part, Sony could be much better. - I would've loved to have a mode dial and/or more front dials. But given a choice between what we have in the ZV-1 or a larger body/more expensive model, I'm ok with what we have. Things to note No, the stabilization is not the best. On standard it's not great. On active it's better but crops in. This is why I say for certain types of vlogging, like on a tripod or talking head video it's fine. If you're expecting to walk around and talk to yourself, you'll want to invest in a gimbal. No, the battery isn't the best. Luckily they're tiny and you can find plenty of generic options. No, you don't get a charger in the box. Most cameras these days are not shipping with one. No you won't get the ultra thin depth of field from this, it's a 1" sensor, there are limitations. For the price, the size, the features, it's the best option that I've found at the present time. It's not perfect, but any camera enthusiast will tell you that there isn't. It's about weighing the positives and the negatives and find the one with the most plusses and the least amount of negatives for your needs. Think about it, if the perfect camera existed, you'd have no compelling reason to upgrade to the next model, so in a way you have to think that manufacturers intentionally withhold a little here and a little there. ... show more

  • Was a great camera years ago. Now not so much.
Style: Camera only Color: Black
For the record I purchased this camera in October 2021. It was my first wheel digital camera outside of a phone. What speaking gets fantastic for up close macro shots for product videos and photography, however, as the other reviewers say, this camera has a very difficult time auto focusing. It’s hit or miss at times. I’ve shot over 8 TB of video since that time and it is infuriating that 20% of the footage is out of focus… the camera just has a very hard time auto focusing. You will have to tap the screen in order to tell it what to focus on which really makes with camera almost a manual focus camera. In contrast, a few months ago I bought a Canon R 50 with a 16 mm lens and a 50 mm lens. Focusing is crisp and sharp. It has no problem auto focusing on pets and it’s extremely fast in terms of focusing… really puts the ZV-1 to shame. Another issue— The ZV-1 picks up scan lines from most LEDs… meaning a few home is normally lit by LED bulbs, which I think most peoples houses are now you will see a lot of scan lines. ... show more
