I bought it as a pocket street photography camera a few months ago. Best decision I ever made. To me its the control's you have that make it a step up from a smart phone. Its easier to be quick and intentional with artistic decision's, plus no need for downgraded digital zoom.
Great video! Appreciate the focus on photography, composition, lightning, not just video for the ZV-1. Having trouble deciding between compact cameras, I have the ZV-1, and the RX100VII on my list mostly for photography with the occasional dip into video. Any thoughts or other camera recommendations?
If you can afford the RX100 VII, that is definitely the superior choice compared to the ZV-1. But if neither of them satisfy you, one other point-and-shoot I'd recommend is the Lumix LX100. Larger sensor than the ZV-1 because it's a full micro 4/3, a 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 Leica lens, has an EVF like the RX100, and also shoots in 4K. Only downside, to me, is that it's worth $800 and I don't have that type of money 😅
@@CheapButGoodPhotography The guy said that he got the camera as a birthday gift. Maybe that's why it's so cheap. I'll definitely but it. Thanks for the video.
Definitely the Olympus. It has a larger sensor but, more importantly, it gives you the option to get a much better lens than what the ZV-1 offers. For the used price of the ZV-1 (~$500), you can get an E-M5 and a 25mm f/1.8 lens in good-excellent condition. It still depends on what you're going to be using them for, though. Purely for photography, the E-M5 is going to open more doors for you but it's definitely not a video camera, especially not in 2024. The Sony ZV-1, on the other hand, has significantly better autofocus and way better video.

Definitely an upgrade over our phones. I like your point about being intentional, too! I should've pointed that out now that you mentioned it. 😅

Nice video. I love your energy and style. What setup did you use when you filmed yourself using the zv-1 outdoors?
Thank you! I used the Olympus E-M1 Mark II and 12-40 f/2.8 combo on the POV portion of this video.
Really nice video :-)

Can you create a photo settings video? Especially to get those good low light pictures like the concert photos you showed.
Adding that to the short list! Thanks for the idea
You make me wanting to by this thing
It's definitely a camera worth considering!
YOU ARE THE NEXT MKHB
Bro that is such a huge compliment. Thank you! 🙇🏻♂🙇🏻♂

A guy in my city is selling this camera for 220 dollars. It's in a perfect condition.
Bro that's a definite steal. Even if you don't enjoy it, you can sell it back for profit. I say go for it!
