Captures footage in various lighting conditions.

Offers superb video and photo resolution and color accuracy.

Simple to operate with easy-to-use features.

Lasts only 15-45 minutes with continuous filming.

Offers various modes and options for adjustment.

The quality of photo and video is superb. I never planned for this to replace my 4 year old Canon DSLR, as I only wanted a compact camera to add to my kit. That said, other than optical zoom, there beats it in every way. I primarily use this as a webcam and vlogging, but also take it on walks using the Crane M2 gimbal. All round excellent piece of kit.

Great quality photos and video, ideal for vlogging

sony.com

Had the camera just over a week - I've played a little as you can see and amazing results for the price I paid! Amazing vlogging cam and exceptional macro cam IMO I absolutely love it however I really now want a A9! I would recommend the zv1 for what it's purpose is to vlog professional quality 4K video and beautiful picture quality

Sony zv1 bokeh ready baby

I've use this camera for months it wasn't my own so I decided to purchase one and I absolutely love it. It's very easy to use it's lightweight and if it's in my pocket

I'm absolutely in bloggers heaven

I had before the canon g7x mark iii but I was not happy. After change for zv-1, I have no problems with doing vlogging on my youtube channel. 

I love this camera so much.

I like this camera Sony zv-1

It is a fantastic camera for Vlogging for YouTube product reviews for fun, family photos in general photography and have so many features and some very advanced settings as well. Excellent quality.

Simply amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera and vlogging kit was an upgrade for me from the consumer level Camcorder I've had for about 7-8 years. And what an upgrade it is! This tiny pocket sized camera has tons of high end professional features and settings, while staying consumer friendly for those who just want to point and shoot or who don't have a photography background.

This camera is small. It's a full featured video camera capable of 4K HDR filming (as well as professional photography) but is the size of most standard point and shoot cameras. It's easy to carry around and grips easy in the hand. It has a nice LCD screen which is easy to read. The screen does not support touch controls except for choosing a focus subject. Otherwise, everything is controlled through the buttons on the back and top. Overall, I found the button placement to be great and found it easy to use them.  There's a shoe mount on the top as well as 3 built in directional mics. The battery compartment is on the bottom next to the screw hole for mounting. It's a very nice design overall.

What I really love about this camera is how easy it is to use without knowing everything about photography. It's a great camera to grow with for someone who wants to learn and is fully capable of professional cinematography. But it also has a great "intelligence" mode which basically lets the camera do all the thinking and deciding about settings for you so you can get a great footage every time without changing lots of settings.  Two of the coolest features are the built in Product Showcase mode and Background Blur mode.  Product showcase makes it so that the camera refocuses on something entering the frame closer to the lens super fast - so if I am reviewing a product and I hold it out towards the camera, it immediately refocuses for a close-up of the product. I could not do this with my old camera and this is an amazing feature! The background blur feature allows you to quickly switch between having the background clear or having it slightly blurred with a bokeh effect which is great for selfie vlogging. The ZV-1 also has great face smoothing feature which can help "beautify" you a bit - it has 3 levels to it so you can do just a little without getting crazy. The camera has 3 mics built into it and they are front facing directional mics meant for vlogging. It also has a MIC input so you can use a more professional mic or a lavalier mic if the built in mics aren't enough for you.

Overall this is a GREAT video camera!

Excellent Camera for Vloggers and Filmmakers

The Insiders

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Sony camera is a game changer!  If you are looking for a camera that has all the bells and whistles but is easy to operate and has incredible quality. This is the one! I have had the pleasure of using this camera for just about everything! When I tell you the video quality is A1 it TRULY is! The video stabilizer that is built in is perfect for shaky hands. The personalized settings are amazing too like auto- focusing on products was a breeze and it auto adjusted to my face right after! Still shots look like I had an entire studio set up with the auto exposure it was perfect every time.  Recording action moments are easy to slow down too. Allowing me to see each moment play by play at my friend's wedding during cake cutting. No one wants to miss the quick moment of smashing cake on one another. The versatility that the VZ-1 has is all you every expected plus. It makes the transition of being behind the lens capturing moments to vlogging an easy switch. If you vlog/record often the accessory kit is a must! Holding the tripod/wireless remote with the contoured design makes balancing the camera easy. The tripod/wireless remote also has controls for zooming, snapping photos and recording. Simply Bluetooth connect it to the camera and boom. No need for any pesky cords.  Plus, getting footage from the camera was easy too. I can send a photo to a friend's phone, send to my computer, or retrieve from my memory card the old fashion way. I could not be happier. using this camera to take all of my photos for my shop and everything else.This newbie just became a pro with this camera, and I can not wait to capture special moments during the holidays to show the world. I truly feel with this camera I have a new lens on life.(Pun)

Nailed It with this Camera!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Introduction
The Sony ZV-1 is Sony's entry model entering the ‘vlogging' area while promising outstanding performance, versatility, and image quality.

In terms of quality, Sony is well known to deliver highly sophisticated products while also developing technologies that implemented standards for other technologies for a very long time (Trinitron TV Screens). Therefore, new products from Sony are always highly anticipated due to their superior brand-reputation.

This review is taking an in-depth look at the Sony ZV-1 based on my own experiences. I will not compare this camera with other products from different manufacturers, but will solely concentrate on the basics, workings, and options that come with the ZV-1. Most importantly, though, I will keep this review as objective as I can, meaning I will promote not only the good points of the camera but also my dislikes. However, I must stress that those interested in buying this camera need to get down to the basics of photography while learning a little about changing or setting the aperture, focus, shutter speed, and focus. This routine ensures that the potential user is getting the most out of this camera, even in tricky situations.

Options
The Sony ZV-1 comes with a magnitude of options. One of the strongest points must be the automatic point-and-shoot setting which will deliver instantly excellent images in most situations without demanding significant user input. It is merely a matter of selecting the Intelligent-Auto-setting and taking pictures. 

Furthermore, the camera is featuring a new technology that enhances natural skin tones and keeps faces bright subjected to changing light sources or different environments.

Another outstanding feature is the Automatic Focus technology (AF) which gives the ZV-01 the edge in its field. The AF is working lightning fast and features Sony's new Eye-Tracking technology, which proves to be invaluable when taking recordings of moving people.

Definitely noteworthy is the camera's display which gives the user total control in every situation and can be folded face-down into the camera housing, meaning it is safe from being scratched or damaged.

Other features take care of shutter and aperture settings as well as focal length, ensuring that the camera can be used in tricky situations where Intelligent-Auto can not cope any longer. Furthermore, a wealth of video options is offered, ranging from Intelligent-Auto over Movie to High-Frame-Rate settings with the latter delivering stunningly super-slow-motion footage.

Another useful option is the ‘Function' setting which lets you change the Audio-Record-level, Steady-Shot, Focus-mode, Skin-effects, Focus-Area, Creative-Styles, and many more. Last but not least there is the ‘Menu' option which lets you change date and time, format an SD card, change slow-motion settings, and many other camera and image functions. Again, the user is well advised to learn the basics at the very least.

Also, I find the supplied windshield for the microphone to be of immense value. Taking video recordings with the windshield in harsh windy or otherwise noisy conditions will drastically improve the quality of the audio. 

However, here comes my first niggle. The windshield for the microphone is too close to the Power-button and also takes it out of view. Maybe it is just my personal opinion, but it still does annoy me because I have large hands and find it hard to operate that button.

Quality
As already mentioned, Sony is well known for the outstanding quality of their products. Anybody choosing to buy this camera will not be disappointed while appreciating the craftsmanship and effort that has gone into this product. Hence, I would like to refer to my 17-years old Sony camcorder, which is still operating as good as on its first day.

Speed
The speed of the camera, especially in the Intelligent-Auto setting, is well balanced and sophisticated. Taking the camera and pressing the release button almost always guarantees excellent results under most conditions. Indeed, it will sufficiently compensate while the level of light or the focus is drastically changing, e.g. taking a picture through an open window, and abruptly turning back to take an image through a doorframe inside the house.
 
Focus
Anybody who knows a bit about cameras is aware that the Automatic-Focus will not always yield great results. However, Sony engineers have certainly delivered with the ZV-1 as most of the time, pictures or recordings are taken with AF come out crisp and clear. It lets you move about freely or starting to do things at random, near or far while the AF seems to work at the speed of light. Not once did the camera disappoint, making it one of the strongest points so far (view attached recording). The same applies to the Macro feature in the IA-setting, which is returning brilliant close-ups of insects and flowers without having to fiddle with additional settings.
Slow Motion

The Slow-Mo function certainly has become my favourite due to the stunning image quality and the breath-taking action it delivers with a healthy punch (please view the attached recording). It comes with a range of settings that lets you select the image quality, and the speed of the motion ranging from 10x, 20x or 40x times of the original speed of the moving object, depending on the frame rate you are going to select (250, 500 and 1000 frames per second). The length of the recording is pre-programmed and depends on the frame rate, e.g. higher frame rates yield shorter recordings. Therefore, learning the basics of this function will guarantee continued success when using this option.

Connectivity
Living in a world of instant access demands a certain level of connectivity for everything we use. The Sony ZV-1 is no exception. That is why it is good to know that you can connect your camera to your smartphone, TV, or computer over a wireless connection. In contrast, you can remotely control your camera with a computer or smartphone. The same applies to Bluetooth-connectivity, which lets you connect to your smartphone or the Sony shooting-grip. The latter serves as a remote control for your camera while vlogging (watch the attached video).

Operating the Sony ZV-1
One vital module needed to operate the camera is an SD Memory Card. While there is a magnitude of different cards available, my preferred option has always been SanDisk. Because of the camera's performance, and the high data volume needed when taking video or Slow-Motion recordings, I found it essential to choose an SD-card able to cope with the speed and high demand of the camera. Hence, a SanDisk Extreme Pro is more than suitable to cope very well with the volume of images and recordings. 

Likewise, operating and setting up the camera itself is very easy and straight forward. First, charge the battery and select an appropriate SD Memory Card. Then switch on the camera and follow the steps on the initial screen, which invites you to choose your language, date, and time. The next step is to simply point and shoot. 
Nevertheless, here comes my second niggle. The battery life could be better, especially for those of you who will use the camera for vlogging or while on holidays. Therefore, investing in a spare set of batteries and a separate charger is a very wise option to avoid disappointment.

Lastly, transferring your taken images or recordings to your computer or smartphone does not require a high technical understanding as it is straight forward.

Final thoughts
The Sony ZV-1 is one of the most sophisticated cameras on the market. Its range of options, high quality, ease of operation and the high image quality make this camera a worthy contender. Indeed, I have to admit that I am more in favour of the ZV-1 then using my trusted Sony alpha 300, which is now 11-years old.

So, what is good about this camera? Well, pretty much everything, which makes this gadget so likeable. It performs well, it feels good, it delivers stunning images and recordings, and it is easy to handle. Generally speaking, the magnitude of good points eclipses some negatives, which is the missing focus-ring, short battery life, and restricted accessibility of the power-button because of the windshield (if installed to the camera). Also, the camera heats up considerably when used for long video recordings on a hot summer's day. 

However, overall, it is fun to use, affordable, and a worthy companion for the serious vlogger or for taking a magnitude of images and recordings under almost any condition.

Outstandingly versatile with a wealth of features

Things I like the most is it has external mic output and At same time it misses out the flash kinda dark pics at night. One of the loyal customer of song from South Asia to North America I have been getting sony products, first time I have  registered my product here in North America.

Good Camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sony ZV-1 is a super vlogging camera and it a pleasure to play around with this super toy with loads of features to die for.
Sony ZV-1 incorporate a mix of superb auto focus and brilliant design like the side flipping screen, a one touch background blurring as well as face and eye tracking. However to get the best of image stabilising, it better to use the very robust and easy to handle the Sony wireless bluetooth tripod GP-VPT2BT which makes a good partnership for vloggers and youtubers.
The ZV-1 prioritises shooting selfies videos more than photography. The video record button is a large and prominently located as a photo shutter button (i can see exactly what i am shooting when i am using the camera). Another great feature is the wind shield as this help to maintain a clear voice recording.  
However the ZV-1 remains the best video all-rounder in its level taking into account its lightweight, fast auto tracking which incorporate with audio input and useful flip out screen, it a superb option for Vloggers.

Supper Vlogging kit

Sony

Bought this product a few weeks ago and it's a top down camera at best. Photos are average and the blogging capabilities are questionable as you have to fiddle so much in order to switch from movie to photos. Sure you could set up function button shortcuts, but if I want that much hassle I'll take my A7C.
