I bought the camera in hopes that It would be a convenient device for me to capture photos and videos, and it did not let me down. Its picture quality is great, and it being so lightweight made it easy for me to carry around. However, I would want a longer battery life, as I can only use the camera for about 45 min to an hour and a bit before I have to charge it again

So far it's great for recording clips of everyday life (vlogging). However, it has a really short battery life so I've bought a bunch of them to keep me going throughout the day. The audio wind catcher thing isn't as good as I was hoping, but the audio is still pretty good I just have to edit it a tiny bit in post-production. I love this camera it's light-weight as so far I've gotten pretty cool shots. I've also bought a wide-angle lens attachment because sometimes it's just too zoomed in for filming.

Bought this months ago, pretty solid basic features for a new comers camera, however the UI design is not really easy to use, too much complex features and not friendly menus. Need some to get use to it and it will be a quite handy camera for fresh camera learners.

I got the Sony ZV1 to use as my main portable camera instead of my cell phone. It will not replace my dslr, but it does come in handy for traveling compared my iphone se 2nd gen. It?s nice to have something so portable and it can do a lot more than your phone can in terms of quality and features. I feel it?s best to have a portable camera for capturing memories instead of having to rely on your phone since my last iPhone deleted a lot of my pictures on me so this is a lot more reliable having a dedicated SD card.

I got the kit from adorama and I love it easy to used and practical for traveling i recommend getting the kit because it brings everything you need it comes with 2 batteries very important, and chargers for the car too . The audio in this camera is great but you can also connect an external mic. I left a video so you can see the quality .

While most would get this for vlogging, I was looking for a small Sony camera with a leaf shutter to use with strobes. This fits the bill. The top end of the leaf shutter is at 1/2000s, but because it has a built in ND, I can still shoot in broad daylight with flash and not have to use HSS. Pretty neat.

I have a use for a month mainly for live streaming, and my video is must more elegant and vivid than before. One thing is really concerning which is not the camera but Imaging Edge Webcam App which until now cannot support the Apple M1 processor. The team should be able to keep with times! Come on! This is my GREAT concern as I wish to upgrade my MacBook in future. And also, why is USB output is only 1024x576p? This is 2021. Can u update to you 1920x1080 or even 4K? These are my 2 concerns.

No experience is necessary to capture great-looking videos. The ZV-1 is designed to capture amazing videos of you and your world, without any tricky setup.
The large 1.0-type CMOS sensor and wide-aperture lens deliver images with professional background bokeh, as well as clear detail even in challenging low-light conditions.
With AI technology you can rely on the autofocus sticking firmly to your face and eyes without wandering to other subjects. When you want to focus on another subject, just touch it on the screen and let the camera do the focusing.
The ZV-1's Fast Hybrid AF system lets you simply and quickly switch focus from a face to the background, for more stylistic and watchable videos.
By just pushing the Bokeh switch, you can switch background bokeh on and off — no need for complex manual adjustments. Now it's easy to simply select a professional-looking defocused background, or keep the entire scene in focus, with just the press of a button.
Product Showcase Setting allows you to switch with just a single button press to settings that are perfect for product reviews. It widens the angle of view and switches the focus to the object instantly, so you don't need to wait for the focus to shift or place your hand behind the product to shift the focus to it.
The ZV-1 is built to get great shots while you're moving. With amazing image stabilization, you can shoot smooth video when walking, and as the light goes from shadow to sun or outdoors to in, the automatic exposure (AE) tracks faces and makes sure they always appear well-lit.
You can capture clear vocals even when shooting in a crowd. The camera's unique directional three-capsule mic gathers clear sound from in front of the camera, ideal for movie shooting.
The supplied wind screen reduces wind noise for worry-free outdoor shooting. As well as achieving premium sound quality, that also means you'll spend less time re-shooting and editing footage affected by wind noise.
With a microphone jack and MI shoe, you can pick from your choice of mics to get exactly the sound you want.
The ZV-1 is designed to bring together simplicity and power, opening up creative opportunities as wide as your imagination.
Make every movement more cinematic with Super Slow Motion video, capturing the most fleeting of moments for playback at up to 40x slower than real time.
Interval shooting mode automatically captures sequences of images from 1–60 seconds apart which can be made into cinematic time-lapse videos on a PC, where clouds flow past like water and whole days pass in seconds.
The ZV-1 has everything you need to capture images that really shine in your timeline and video thumbnails. The pin-sharp ZEISS 24–70mm Lens focuses light to a large 1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS image sensor, with it all coming together in the powerful BIONZ X image processor.
Picture Effects and Creative Styles allow for near-limitless visual possibilities — from simple monochrome and partial color effects, right through to complex miniature effects.
There's no longer a need to compromise your images with your smartphone camera just to share content quickly. The ZV-1 delivers both stunning images and seamless connectivity, for better and easier posting.
The free Imaging Edge Mobile app for iOS and Android lets you simply transfer, edit and upload images shot on the ZV-1 instantly to social media platforms, from wherever you are.
Use the Movie Edit add-on to apply enhanced stabilization for especially shaky shots, or reframe and crop video to suit popular social-media aspect ratios.
With automatic tagging of vertically oriented videos, you can upload content custom-made for smartphone screens.
It's easy to know when you're recording with a clear recording lamp on the front of the camera — and it’s easy to switch off if you prefer. You’ll never accidentally forget to hit the record button again.
Carry professional-quality video along in your pocket, with stunning 4K HDR detail and powerful exposure tools for content guaranteed to impress.
The ZV-1 records immensely detailed 4K HDR video through 1.7x pixel resampling so you can capture reality without any compromise.
S-Log2 and S-Log3 gamma controls are available for camera matching and flexibility in color grading, along with a range of picture profile settings to create your perfect aesthetic.
A Neutral Density (ND) filter opens creative possibilities via video exposure control, enhancing depth-of-field and enabling magical slow-shutter portrayal of water, light, and motion.
Check out this in-depth movie tour of the features of the ZV-1.
