Sony ZV-1 Vlog

An expensive camera with nice functions, especially for vlogging. Switches quickly in terms of focus on objects, for example when you review make-up and hold the packaging in front of the lens. It is immediately sharp. The camera provides sharp, clear and crisp sound. The accessory against wind is handy, it improves the sound and makes you understandable during your vlog. The battery could have been better, it is empty after an hour. So always take at least one extra battery with you, especially if you plan to film for hours. The camera has a nice option to send images to your phone via WiFi connection. But that also consumes a lot of battery and takes a long time because the files are large. By the way, make sure you use a memory card with sufficient class (read speed, etc.). If you still want to transfer to an iPhone via WiFi, make sure you film in 4K. Lower file quality iPhone will not accept. If you've been Vlogging for a while, go for a more widely applicable camera, something more professional. If you want to start vlogging, first use your smartphone. That will save you a nice chunk of money.

The camera's design has been well adapted to the vlogger of 2020. The extra grip on both the front and back makes the device comfortable to hold. It is not too heavy and easy to carry in, for example, your (hand) bag. The tilting screen with touchscreen is definitely a plus when vlogging. Thanks to the good autofocus, images or objects are quickly focused. However, not all functions can be operated with touch. The built-in microphone works well, voices are clear and noiseless and the windcatcher is also a plus. For my daily vlogging it is important that there is a good battery life, but this is disappointing. If you want to go away for a day, I definitely recommend taking 2 extra batteries with you, otherwise you can quickly pack your things.
In terms of image quality, this camera lives up to its name. Sony has done a good job of producing razor-sharp images in 4K, including a slow-mo option on the camera, and great real-time tracking and eye autofocus. There is good image stabilization, so walking and filming are no problem. Jumping to other images is fine and the colors are vibrant. Moving yourself to other rooms is quickly picked up by the camera, so that the colors and image quality are also adjusted in no time. The ZV-1 also takes into account different skin tones, which comes in handy for me with my light skin and red hair. The camera adjusts the colors so that you are always at your best. The large record button lights up a red light on the front, so you always know you're filming. The bokeh button on top is also a big plus. Do you want to sharpen or blur your background? You can set this yourself with 1 hand on the button. Certainly useful for the vloggers who want to show products.

I really think the Spny ZV-1 is one of the best vlogging cameras on the market. Very nice small slim design to record your vlogs. Good quality of the fold-out display with the real-time tracking option so that you always stay sharp. It is very user-friendly due to all pre-programmed settings so that you always have the right setting for your setting. Thanks to the windscreen for your microphone, your voice will still sound clear and clear in the videos if you use it outside. Really beyond expectations so far! The only downside so far is that I think it's a shame that the screen doesn't flip upwards but sideways. So you always tend to look at the display instead of the lens
