    5.0 out of 5 stars A Vlogger's dream from Sony
    Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2024
    I recently purchased the Sony ZV-1F Vlog Camera and am thrilled with its performance! As a content creator, I needed a camera that balances quality, portability, and ease of use, and this one hits all the marks. The 20.1 MP sensor captures stunning images and smooth 4K video, which has improved the quality of my vlogs significantly. The flip-out touchscreen is a fantastic feature for framing shots while I'm in front of the camera, making it super user-friendly for solo filming. The background defocus button is another nice touch, allowing me to effortlessly blur the background and make myself stand out in my videos.
    One of the best aspects is the built-in microphone, which captures clear audio even in windy conditions, reducing the need for external mics during casual shoots. It’s compact and lightweight, perfect for on-the-go vlogging or traveling.
    If I had to mention a downside, the battery life could be better for long shoots. Still, the Sony ZV-1F is a solid investment for anyone serious about creating high-quality content. I highly recommend it for vloggers and content creators looking to elevate their production value!

    The Sony ZV-1F is a dedicated vlog camera designed with content creators and vloggers in mind, offering a compact and feature-rich solution for creating high-quality video content. One of its standout features is its exceptional video quality, capable of recording in 4K resolution with vibrant colors and sharp details. This ensures that videos have a professional look suitable for various platforms.

    The ZV-1F is equipped with advanced autofocus technology, including Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking, ensuring that subjects stay in focus reliably, even in dynamic shooting situations. This feature is crucial for vloggers who need dependable autofocus performance to capture clear and sharp footage.

    Audio performance is another strong point of the ZV-1F. It features a built-in directional 3-capsule microphone, which captures clear and immersive sound, minimizing background noise effectively. This setup is ideal for vloggers who prioritize excellent audio quality without the need for external microphones.

    For usability, the ZV-1F includes a vari-angle touchscreen LCD that flips out to the side and rotates fully, making it easy to frame shots and monitor recordings. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for vloggers who need to see themselves while recording or capture creative angles.

    To maximize your experience with the ZV-1F, I recommend investing in a light attachable for improved lighting in various shooting conditions. Additionally, consider purchasing extra batteries, ideally at least three, to ensure uninterrupted shooting during longer sessions.

    Despite its strengths, there are a few considerations with the ZV-1F. The battery life is average, which may require frequent recharging for extended shooting sessions. Additionally, while the camera excels in video recording, its performance in low-light conditions, especially in photography mode, may not match up to cameras with larger sensors. If you are a beauty content creator that has a setup I would say to go with another camera. If you’re coming from an older model phone this is a great upgrade. I’m still looking for the perfect camera for a beauty creator but upscale from this one the canon r50 is good… check out my storefront to see the other cameras I’ve tried out and what I suggest as a fixed camera for a beauty, fragrance, lifestyle creator.

    Overall, the Sony ZV-1F is an excellent choice for content creators and vloggers looking for a compact and feature-packed camera. Its superb video quality, reliable autofocus, excellent audio capabilities, and user-friendly design make it a standout option for creating professional-looking vlogs and video content.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, if you understand what it is.

    I wanted some thing small and simple which would give me good audio and an improved picture as compared to the front facing camera on my iPhone 15 Pro Max.

    I wanted it to be small for portability and capable of producing very good video on automatic settings, since I shoot my Vlogs very quickly and extemporaneously. I don’t have the inclination to check for perfect exposure, etc..

    This camera is smaller than you probably think it is. Perfectly pocketable. Video on this is substantially better than video from the front facing camera on my phone. The audio from the built-in mics are better than the iPhones, meaning I don’t need to use a Lavalier or other microphone for really fantastic audio.

    I tried a budget action cam, But the picture was not appreciably better than Myphone and in some cases was worse. The microphone was garbage and it had no standard jack for audio. It had a proprietary port, so I returned it..

    I paid absolute full price for this, missing the Amazon sales unfortunately. Yet, I’m not returning this camera. It is my new vlog camera.

    I am very, very, very happy with a spectacular picture, quality and remarkable audio. The view from my mounting bracket is plenty wide.

    I have a Sony ZVE 10 for more serious filming, but this pocket guy does such a good job that it will become my workhorse.

    You’re going to get a better picture than an action cam and a microphone jack, but you may not need it. You’re not going to get a better picture than a Sony ZVE 10 or a 1000 or 2000 or $5000 DLSR or mirrorless camera.

    What you will get is video that is almost as good from a tiny little package that really impresses..

    Highly recommended

    This is the camera for someone making content snd wanting to upgrade from a smartphone. This has amazing video capture up to 4k only downside is it only takes pictures in jpeg (no log or raw). It is extremely lightweight with a sleek design with functionality close to a smart phone. It can also fit in a pocket like one too depending on what kind of pants. If you need something with decent color accuracy this is perfect for you.
