@Jason Morris yea but that being said the ZV-E1 isn't groundbreaking, it's actually a big step back, you cant sell a camera that can shoot outside for 15 minutes but at the same time say it can so 4k 120 in the future, for about 2 minutes I'd imagine just remember how much stick the Canon cameras get
@@navpreetsingh8156 it’s a vlogging camera and designed for short bursts. Like a Ferrari trying to do off-road four wheel driving. Wasn’t designed to constantly record. Just have to understand it’s limitations
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema totally get what you're saying but 4k 60 with any form of stabilisation would require to keep your vlogs short right? So it caters for vloggers who need to keep their sentences short and if you get it wrong first time then the camera is only getting warmer reducing your recording time the next go, an example would be what you do, you make videos that I'd imagine take multiple takes so you're actually not just shooting short scenes because you would also be re-shooting and that would be the bigger issue, this camera is one big limitation, every single product has its use or purpose that but that doesn't mean they are good at it
@@navpreetsingh8156 completely agree. It would pose a concern for multiple takes. I certainly wouldn’t recommend having a 60fps timeline anyway. More so 24,25 or 30fps timeline and using 60fps as broll for slow motion on the timeline
For a hybrid shooter like me (80% photos 20% video), the A7IV is an absolute beast. It has allowed me to practice colour grading (4:2:2 10-bit) and 4k60p for that UHD slow motion. I don't personally mind the Super 35 crop. I have a ZVE10, so the crop lenses have dual purpose. Overall its just perfect for me. The only thing I hate is that the 10fps is only with Compressed RAW (I shoot fast bikes and birds a lot). That irritates me like no tomorrow.
All of those milking videos telling what we ve already know but nobody tests the most important thing , the camera outside in the sun , Noone has time to prepare the room to 21 degrees celsius to film a 10 minute video in slowmo 60fps , real world , 30-35 degrees celsius , 4k 60, if i want to vlog in the summer I film 5 minutes , its shuts off then wait how much ?
That is what I said in my initial review if you watched it. I have some of the most REAL WORLD use of this camera as I have had it for over 3 weeks and used it in MANY scenarios. I even spoke to Sony product development in person in Japan about the overheating issues I have concerns with. They know about this and I have explained this in every single video I have made. I am not hiding this FACT. So don't come at me and tell me what you think you know. Noone in the world is doing what I am doing and I am giving everyone pure facts as much as I can FREE for people to watch
@Rodrigo then don’t buy new body and buy different brand. Man you complainers complaining constantly. Get over it. Trade in your old camera and buy zv-E1. Or again buy Fuji. Never heard so much complaining complaining complainers. Yeah buy Canon with its huge lenses you can choose from. Oh yeah they don’t allow autofocus rf lenses pretty much. Good luck
@@JasonMorrisphotocinemaHi Jason, appreciate what your doing and the info is good... but the truth is we just won't know how this camera will perform in full summer conditions in Australia before early January next year. If it's overheating on a mild autumn day in the sun, then what's going to happen to run times when ambient is 39deg plus and in the direct sun well over 50deg. I'll wait for those tests before I buy one because I remember the Canon debacle where the camera would overheat in 10 mins at any 4K resolution then you'd have to wait half an hour to get any useful runtimes again.
@@mondotv4216 don’t get it for long record times. It wasn’t designed for that. Definitely suggest fx30 or fx3 for those longer record times and reliability
I love my Sony A7IV, it's already paid for itself and I learned how to do video with it too. I'd say im blessed because, slog3 and 4k60 is amazing. 33mp for my camera is a BEAUTIFUL thing. And the ISO, say less, I'm CRANKING that thing up!
Great comparison Jason. The ZVE1 does have different settings in video and photo mode when switching between however, it doesn't come that way out of the box and you have to set it up yourself. cheers keep the great videos coming.
If you want a proper camera, get the A7IV. I just bought two of them. One for gimbal video and the other for stills. If you want a high performance compact, get the A7C because it is made of metal, has much better buttons and dials, full size sensor and higher resolution. I bought three of those too for using as B, C and D video camera angles. All for weddings. The ZV-E1 is good for vlogging but even though it seems amazing all around, it's flimsy plastic body and lack of dials and switches will make it a bit awkward for professional use. And no EVF on the ZV-E1 is practically a no no if you intend to shoot stills. There's nothing to beat the stability of sniper shooting with tele lenses by using the EVF and holding the camera properly. It makes me cringe when I see pro stils shooters always using only the screen. It just seems snappy and you know it's not going to be as crisp a shot for camera motion blur. Lastly, the lack of a mechanical shutter is a massive no no for stills in artificial light. The banding is horrendous. It's not as bad sometimes on the A7IV in E-Shutter mode, but I wouldn't ever use that mode for stills. I'm not scared of racking up the shutter count. My current EOS 5D mkIII is getting close to a million actuations and is still going strong.
Simple. A7iv for paid work because dual sd and well rounded. Zv-e1 for vloggers and travel enthusiasts/content creators. I think a7iv wins since you can use it for everything.
I think the ZV-E1 is quite a capable camera. But, I know there are two more Sony cameras coming out this year. So, I'm holding off until I see what those models bring to the table. Although, something tells me the other two Sony cameras may be APS-C models. If so, then I may be looking at the ZV-E1 as a b-cam to my FX30.
Thanks for this video, I still don't regret my A7IV purchase so far, even if the ZV-E1 comes now. I like the hybrid option more than the slightly better low light performance. Also the EVF is quiet nice in bright conditions. The additional stuff is nice, but imho gimmicks, maybe I am too old for that anyways :)
When you test for overheating, can you implement using a dummy battery and external monitor to verify if they help. Also, how recording vs streaming (and both together) overheats. Finally, how is using 1080p as it is the only camera that can Oversample from 4k so still worthwhile to use. Does 1080 overheat in anyway as that might be a little superpower. Thank you so much for what you do.
I have seen reports that recording out via hdmi capture cards to software on your laptop alleviates the overheating issue because your device is taking on the recording burden rather than cards inside your camera
Already having a zve10, and the 16-55 G lens, i was in turmoil in what to get for A cam, well i can say based on this info i have gone with the A7 iv and the kit lens....will be with me on Sunday via Amazon, and i cant wait. Cheers Jason 👍
It's quite funny how so many pro camera youtubers are promoting the zv - e1, while for exactly the same money you have the a7iv which is a way better deal in so many aspects. You only miss out on gimmicky auto framing stuff. AND... It's all plastic, overheats, and has NO EVF. I agree with you completely. This is marketed at vloggers.
Main difference I think is that the A74 is a 33meg hybrid; the ZV-1 a 12meg video camera. The A74 can be used primarily for photography with some decent video capabilities. Chose what you need and enjoy it ….😊
If i record in 1080 60fps does both camera still overheat. I do real estate videos and want to know which camera is best for ny use as i will not take long burst but small clips but i live in hot weather and inside the house in summers its really hot around 40-50 degree celcius
i still cant decide between these two cameras! i too am an aussie, so we have this climate to deal with.. i only shoot short bursts, experimental stuff, the only long shots i do is timelapse, usually image sequences.. but im quite keen on using the timelapse video feature, thats being said, would a 1hr timelapse in video mode have same potential heating issues as video? id love to hear if your still loving the camera too! all the best!
Hi Jason. I want to buy either of the two cameras, for travelling, more video than photography, but definitely photography too. Do you reckon its a better choice to go for the A7 IV? Or since im more video based will the ZV-E1 do, even tho it has a 12 MP for photography? I dont want to make the mistake buying the A7 IV and end up with worse video footage, but also not end up with the ZV E-1 and regret the photo image quality. Help!
I bought the zve1 for video. I shoot my Photography on Fujifilm cameras. But am starting to want to just have 1 camera setup for both photo and video. Im not sure if I should sell the zve1 for the a7iv or not. I did some photography with the zve1 and I was impressed by the images but can’t crop not even a little and the user experience shooting photo was trash.
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema yeah but unless you live in North Pole, in Europe during spring summer can get pretty hot, even in London last summer we ve been quite constantly around 28-30 with peak of 40 degrees. If you shoot outdoor with 28-30 degrees this thing doesn't even last 10-15 minutes and would make the camera totally unusable. I'm looking forward to the test....
Something isn’t right with the zv e1 it’s supposed to be a video camera over photography but it has overheating issues. A camera that is meant for video over photo but overheats after 30-50 minutes of video means it’s not really good for videos or photography that’s my deduction so I would go with the a74
The a74 is still the best in its bracket when it comes to hybrid cameras. But I think the ZVE1 is the best video camera focused on its bracket ranked the same as the fx30.
The a74 definitely has more of that digital look. Some people enjoy that though so its not necessarily a bad thing. I think if you're a hybrid shooter professional, the a74 is the clear choice. However if you need a camera to shoot TH-cam videos and personal projects, the ZVE1 is just objectively the better vide-centric camera
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Let's ask Chat GPT: "The “digital look” in videography is a term that refers to the visual characteristics of video footage captured by digital cameras, such as sharpness, color, contrast, noise, and motion blur. There is no definitive answer to which look is better or more desirable. It depends on the creative vision of the filmmaker, the genre and style of the project, and the preferences of the audience." To me its about extreme sharpness but I like what chatgpt had to say
@@HANKBRAVO81 use a mist filter and voilaaaaaa! ahahah it makes me laugh a lot, people spending thousands for super high end cameras/lenses then they put a mist filter to soften the image ahahahah, amazing
@@dottorcarlone as a premise, you’re correct. But it’s really not that simple. If it was, these camera companies would be out of business and the filter companies would be gigantic! Haha. But I get what you’re saying. I seen one guy using his A7iv in HD basically. And, I have to say, it looked pretty awesome with a mist filter. Some HD is better than others obviously depending upon the sensor. For me, the FX3 sensor just has everything I like straight out of camera. But hey, I can’t afford it so it’s a moot point 👍🏻
Great video! Info is we needed! My initial thoughts was to pair my a7SIII w ZV-E1 (Gimbal Cam or B Cam). Now, a7IV + ZV-E1 (Gimbal Cam or B Cam) looks like a sweet pair for hybrid shooters.
The rolling shutter is really bad on the a74. 26 ms vs 8.7 ms on the ZV-E1. I had the a7s3 and sold it for the a74 as image looks a little sharper. But the rolling shutter made me sell the a74. Reminds me of the Sony a6000 series cameras bad rolling shutter. Pre ordered the ZV-E1 can buy two of these for the price of one FX3. We will see if the production camera with production firmware is better with the overheating. I’m not to worried about it as I record in shorter takes. 3 minutes tops. Also maybe it would be better to get white body version if your filming outside a lot?
Which camera? Sony A7R IV or sony A7 IV?? I do only concert photography not into video and also i don't do prints n stuff... So i should go with new processor or old model? Is Sony A7R iv autofocus is better than a7 iv?? Sony a7IV heating issues? Main reason i am running away from a7iv Need some suggestions?
Hello, thank you for your video. I would appreciate hearing your recommendation. I'm considering upgrading from my Sony a6400 to a full-frame camera, and I'm facing a dilemma: whether to spend more and get the FX3 or save money and go for the ZV-E1, getting pretty much the same image but with the remaining funds invested in more lenses, etc? I shoot a variety of content, from events to weddings, so my direction is quite diverse. I really want to upgrade and start to make more professional videos, but I’m kinda stuck between these two and don’t know what to choose.
Already have the a7r iv shooting wedding videos with it.. It's very good camera, but not that much of settings that help...... I think the iv is still my Choice for now over zv-e1... What do you think!
The sad thing about all this new technology that Sony is piece mealing into these new cameras means that the consumer will never get a masterpiece of a camera like the Sony a7iii again. That camera changed the game and forced Canon and Nikon to step up their games and provide more value to their loyalists to stem the tide of them becoming Sony converts. I would love to have some of the newer technology but incremental improvements are a no for me. That doesn’t mean I am waiting but it means that I might not buy another new camera for a couple of years until all these improvements become standard.
A master piece of a camera will never exist anymore. The industry does not allow for this to happen and tech is moving very fast with competition. The only way this would exist is a very very expensive flagship camera like an A1 MII
How come you mention 4k 24 and 50 but not 30? Also, I’ve seen somebody complain about the 4K30 files or something. Is there anything to be worried about? I’m a noob over here who is currently recording 4K30 on the iPhone and editing in final cut
I don't own canon. I don't like to compare to cameras I don't use and know a lot about because it would be unfair. Plus comparing manufacturers is tough because there is more to consider
As far as a 12mp sensor. What’s the difference between cropping in on a photo, and cropping in on a still screenshot from a 4k video? Currently on my iPhone instead of taking product shots I actually just record it with my video and then whenever I am editing the video I just go frame by frame to find the perfect shot and then I just save that as a still. I’ve always wondered what the difference between doing that, and just taking a photo. Video for me is easier. It seems like cropping in on 4k wouldn’t be bad. But since it’s 12mp maybe there’s no difference.
It is a big disappointed point that new ZVE1 has only 12MP and it is a $2600-3000 camera. This is a downside and people may prefer the sony a7iv which takes better photos. Most people take more photos than videos. In my trips to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Czech Republic and Jordan-Petra i took more than 5000 pictures and probably 10 videos. So, i think Sony a7iv would be more useful for 95% of people. I guess the biggest advantage of Sony EV1 is the Artificial Intelligence, smaller size and the dynamic image stabilization which is used actually more for videos.
Hi Jason. I'm looking a gimbal cam which only shoot B roll during the wedding. Do you think ZVE1 suit for that kind of job under Australian Summer? Or better go with a7iv ( a bit better due to bigger body )
Yoo Jason I’m a content creator price really isn’t the issue but I also twitch stream as well should I lean more ZV or should I spend a lil extra and get the a7 IV ?
I have 7iv I think it have more of both worlds and zv e1 have really great features for video the only downside of this last camera in my case is don't have evf no buttons no 2 cards slots overheating but the most important I need more buttons 😂
I would like to see the dynamic stabilization and auto framing on the 7K sensor of the A7IV. I’d like to think that it would have less of a reduction in quality.
Hey Jason I absolutely love all the valuable information that you jam into your video, thank you... Can someone please tell me what's the meaning of "much of a muchness" ? 😆
So could we expect some new pro cameras then since they are adding some better features to this vlogging camera? I almost have a reason to get this instead of the a7iv but not quite.
9:37, this is what we need in every other camera! I was shocked the day I got there is no artificial simulated shutter sound in my a7iv for electronic shutter mode. BTW another big thing is your don't lose eye and face AF when using clear image zoom. Which I hope comes to A7iv through firmware update! Finger crossed! Lol
One thing I wanna know and sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it, but how's the grip on the E1? I went from an A7C to an A7IV and the difference between the grips was so vast I could never go back to a camera with a crappy grip again.
Hey guys, I‘m a Videographer and I‘m shooting rn on the Lumix G9. I want to get a sony camera for my clients work (mailny for instagram and yt) Would anyone recommend to „upgrade“ to the sony zv e1?
Man...... Jason.... .Ive just decided..... that I am no longer buying flagship cameras! LOL Just gonna just wait a year for something cheaper and better to come along.
Either one of these cameras, coming from my iPhone, I am horrified about the screen. Should I look at Canon instead? Or do you have any suggestions for a good monitor? Or how do people do that? I only will be using my camera in the studio, so if it’s just something I can attach to the camera or have right next to it, I wouldn’t mind doing that.
Why are people unhappy about micro HDMI? I’m not familiar too much about these technologies, but I feel like that’s a step forward compared to the big clunky HDMI.
This isn’t new tech and has been discussed several times on other videos on my channel. If you don’t know the benefits of full size HDMI, then that is no worries. full size HDMI isn’t for you and this camera hits the target audience for content creators and and vloggers who don’t need full size HDMI
I can understand the AI stuff not coming to older cameras via firmware....but for instance......the new stabilization.....there's no reason they can't bring that to older cameras like the a7iv....since it's pretty much entirely software based.
That is only if the new AI processor is needed. The older cameras may not handle this. It could also be marketing. As a business they won't make money giving every single feature to every single camera. I see it from both sides. As a consumer myself it does suck but I see it from a business stand point too. The perfect camera won't exist as it would cost an arm and a leg.
I need advice for shooting Jiujitsu. I have a go to tall camera op that has an A7III, but would like a flip screen to get the grappling top view. Would you guys recommend the A7iv or the EV-1? Would would like to have the capacity record for 30 minutes straight. Many thanks for the help.
the A7C II would have the same sensor for sure. Just think it will be cheaper which means they will remove more expensive components like EVF and maybe some video features
I do not recommend the kit lens at all steve. A second hand 20mm F1.8 would be a cool option or fork out some extra money for the new 16.35mm F4 PZ lens
Sir the country where im living we have temp goes like 40°C-45°C so how as a vlogger I can use this camera. I m just youtuber travel vlogger not a professional still i hve a doubt about this situations
Glad to know the A7IV is still beasting over most in its range. Still jealous over the video capabilities on the A7RV though
A7IV wasn't ground breaking yet still seems to keep up and excel in so many areas

thank you my friend
Thanks for the detailed comparison. A7iv it is for me. Use a 16-28 sigma and crop mode if needed.

Hi Jason.
I want to buy either of the two cameras, for travelling, more video than photography, but definitely photography too.
Do you reckon its a better choice to go for the A7 IV? Or since im more video based will the ZV-E1 do, even tho it has a 12 MP for photography?
I dont want to make the mistake buying the A7 IV and end up with worse video footage, but also not end up with the ZV E-1 and regret the photo image quality.
Help!
I bought the zve1 for video. I shoot my
Photography on Fujifilm cameras. But am starting to want to just have 1 camera setup for both photo and video. Im not sure if I should sell the zve1 for the a7iv or not. I did some photography with the zve1 and I was impressed by the images but can’t crop not even a little and the user experience shooting photo was trash.
I have it pre-ordered but really looking forward to the overheating test :) It's a make or break for me so thank you.
I think for 95% of people it will be fine. It wasn't designed to be a long recording camera in hot temps. that's what the A7SIII and FX3 was made for
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I value your advice sir. Thanks for the response :) and thank you for all the helpful videos.
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema yeah but unless you live in North Pole, in Europe during spring summer can get pretty hot, even in London last summer we ve been quite constantly around 28-30 with peak of 40 degrees. If you shoot outdoor with 28-30 degrees this thing doesn't even last 10-15 minutes and would make the camera totally unusable. I'm looking forward to the test....
Something isn’t right with the zv e1 it’s supposed to be a video camera over photography but it has overheating issues. A camera that is meant for video over photo but overheats after 30-50 minutes of video means it’s not really good for videos or photography that’s my deduction so I would go with the a74
The a74 is still the best in its bracket when it comes to hybrid cameras. But I think the ZVE1 is the best video camera focused on its bracket ranked the same as the fx30.
thanks for the comment
The a74 definitely has more of that digital look. Some people enjoy that though so its not necessarily a bad thing. I think if you're a hybrid shooter professional, the a74 is the clear choice. However if you need a camera to shoot TH-cam videos and personal projects, the ZVE1 is just objectively the better vide-centric camera
explain the digital look
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Let's ask Chat GPT: "The “digital look” in videography is a term that refers to the visual characteristics of video footage captured by digital cameras, such as sharpness, color, contrast, noise, and motion blur. There is no definitive answer to which look is better or more desirable. It depends on the creative vision of the filmmaker, the genre and style of the project, and the preferences of the audience."
To me its about extreme sharpness but I like what chatgpt had to say
I know what you mean. This sensor simply has that Netflix documentary look very filmic and more pleasing. Less sharp.
@@HANKBRAVO81 use a mist filter and voilaaaaaa! ahahah it makes me laugh a lot, people spending thousands for super high end cameras/lenses then they put a mist filter to soften the image ahahahah, amazing
@@dottorcarlone as a premise, you’re correct. But it’s really not that simple. If it was, these camera companies would be out of business and the filter companies would be gigantic! Haha. But I get what you’re saying. I seen one guy using his A7iv in HD basically. And, I have to say, it looked pretty awesome with a mist filter. Some HD is better than others obviously depending upon the sensor. For me, the FX3 sensor just has everything I like straight out of camera. But hey, I can’t afford it so it’s a moot point 👍🏻
Thank you. How about the low light performance? Big difference?
massive. ZV-E1 is better for really low light due to the ISO12,800 performance
This video definitely helped me decide! Thank you so much Jason!! Cheers!
thanks for watching
Well done! I want the 4 for sure! But if I had the money I’d do the a7R5…
a7RV certainly is a beast hybrid
Great video! Info is we needed! My initial thoughts was to pair my a7SIII w ZV-E1 (Gimbal Cam or B Cam). Now, a7IV + ZV-E1 (Gimbal Cam or B Cam) looks like a sweet pair for hybrid shooters.
great plan
The rolling shutter is really bad on the a74. 26 ms vs 8.7 ms on the ZV-E1. I had the a7s3 and sold it for the a74 as image looks a little sharper. But the rolling shutter made me sell the a74. Reminds me of the Sony a6000 series cameras bad rolling shutter. Pre ordered the ZV-E1 can buy two of these for the price of one FX3. We will see if the production camera with production firmware is better with the overheating. I’m not to worried about it as I record in shorter takes. 3 minutes tops. Also maybe it would be better to get white body version if your filming outside a lot?
How's the rolling shutter on ZV-E1? It's bad on my A7M3.
Which camera?
Sony A7R IV or sony A7 IV??
I do only concert photography not into video and also i don't do prints n stuff...
So i should go with new processor or old model?
Is Sony A7R iv autofocus is better than a7 iv??
Sony a7IV heating issues? Main reason i am running away from a7iv
Need some suggestions?
Honestly, if I go to vlogging, I would still choose a7Siii / a7IV , the body is easy to switch different setting compare to zv-e1
for sure. Some people love those cameras
Which is better for filming long weddings ? Z1 E1 or A7 IV?
Hello, thank you for your video. I would appreciate hearing your recommendation. I'm considering upgrading from my Sony a6400 to a full-frame camera, and I'm facing a dilemma: whether to spend more and get the FX3 or save money and go for the ZV-E1, getting pretty much the same image but with the remaining funds invested in more lenses, etc? I shoot a variety of content, from events to weddings, so my direction is quite diverse. I really want to upgrade and start to make more professional videos, but I’m kinda stuck between these two and don’t know what to choose.
Already have the a7r iv shooting wedding videos with it.. It's very good camera, but not that much of settings that help...... I think the iv is still my Choice for now over zv-e1...
What do you think!
I'm looking for a camera to create content for social networks and take photos of real estate, which one do you recommend I buy?
do the MP differences affect video or is that just a statistic for photographers to care about?
Thank you for your service!
The sad thing about all this new technology that Sony is piece mealing into these new cameras means that the consumer will never get a masterpiece of a camera like the Sony a7iii again. That camera changed the game and forced Canon and Nikon to step up their games and provide more value to their loyalists to stem the tide of them becoming Sony converts. I would love to have some of the newer technology but incremental improvements are a no for me. That doesn’t mean I am waiting but it means that I might not buy another new camera for a couple of years until all these improvements become standard.
A master piece of a camera will never exist anymore. The industry does not allow for this to happen and tech is moving very fast with competition. The only way this would exist is a very very expensive flagship camera like an A1 MII
I love you work Jason
How come you mention 4k 24 and 50 but not 30? Also, I’ve seen somebody complain about the 4K30 files or something. Is there anything to be worried about? I’m a noob over here who is currently recording 4K30 on the iPhone and editing in final cut
Hi Jason, very cool videos and reviews. Why don't you try to compare with Canon? I really wanted to see a comparison of Sony A 7 m4 and Canon R6 m2.
I don't own canon. I don't like to compare to cameras I don't use and know a lot about because it would be unfair. Plus comparing manufacturers is tough because there is more to consider
As far as a 12mp sensor. What’s the difference between cropping in on a photo, and cropping in on a still screenshot from a 4k video?
Currently on my iPhone instead of taking product shots I actually just record it with my video and then whenever I am editing the video I just go frame by frame to find the perfect shot and then I just save that as a still. I’ve always wondered what the difference between doing that, and just taking a photo. Video for me is easier. It seems like cropping in on 4k wouldn’t be bad. But since it’s 12mp maybe there’s no difference.
I’ve always wondered the correlation between megapixels and video resolution
Maybe it really only matters with moving targets
Thanks. Very helpful have an a74 and a73. Considering trading in the a73 for the EV. Sounds like a good pairing. With the a74
i think you would make a good choice there
I'm starting to think about change my a7iii for the zv1 just because I dont have the money for the A7siii yet, what do you think Jason?
Your legend too, good video. Thanks and see y’a
Is the A7iV good for long videos ?
It is a big disappointed point that new ZVE1 has only 12MP and it is a $2600-3000 camera. This is a downside and people may prefer the sony a7iv which takes better photos. Most people take more photos than videos. In my trips to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Czech Republic and Jordan-Petra i took more than 5000 pictures and probably 10 videos. So, i think Sony a7iv would be more useful for 95% of people. I guess the biggest advantage of Sony EV1 is the Artificial Intelligence, smaller size and the dynamic image stabilization which is used actually more for videos.
Hey @jasonmorris
At min 11 you talked about the Switch mode. I have a Solution.
Go to the settings on page 44 and select „different set for still/Mv“
oh my I forgot about this!!!!! thank you
Hi i want to shoot reels for cafe and short video products and take the photo also which one should you recommend me sony a7iv or zv-e1, sony fx30
I have a Sony A7iv and I mainly do photos but now I want to start doing video as well, do you have any recommendation when it comes to lens.
Hi Jason. I'm looking a gimbal cam which only shoot B roll during the wedding. Do you think ZVE1 suit for that kind of job under Australian Summer? Or better go with a7iv ( a bit better due to bigger body )
If you keep turning camera on and off you’ll be fine with the ZV-E1
Yoo Jason I’m a content creator price really isn’t the issue but I also twitch stream as well should I lean more ZV or should I spend a lil extra and get the a7 IV ?
Overheating seems like a deal breaker for me unfortunately but will wait for your video on that.
I’m very interested in ZV-E1. However I’m gonna wait for feedbacks about overheating.
Jason, does this make the 11mm f1.8 sony aps-c lens + the dynamic active stab = a super awesome 4k, fully stabilized, no-gimbal vlog camera?
i was wating for this
thanks for waiting. Hope it delivered
Can I use the Zv-e1 for sports photography and videography?
Would you say the A7iv is good to capture sports moments not really trying to use it to shoot videos
Would you say the lack of mechanical shutter on ZV e1 a big deal?
Thanks for great compare.. the results and cropping amount of new dynamic stabilization seems similar to gyro post shot stabilization…
it is very similar but remember this is in-camera. Less steps and ready to go footage
Hi Jason, which camera would you prefer for better low-light performance at 4k60?
Zv-e1
I have 7iv I think it have more of both worlds and zv e1 have really great features for video the only downside of this last camera in my case is don't have evf no buttons no 2 cards slots overheating but the most important I need more buttons 😂
yes, custom buttons really does help work flow for some people
killing it my dude!
thanks brother. Content content content haha
I would like to see the dynamic stabilization and auto framing on the 7K sensor of the A7IV. I’d like to think that it would have less of a reduction in quality.
Hey Jason I absolutely love all the valuable information that you jam into your video, thank you...
Can someone please tell me what's the meaning of "much of a muchness" ? 😆
much of a muchness means same same. Very similar either way you go
@Jason Morris oh ok now I get, thank you. 😊
Thanks for the great content! How do I turn on ibis+as on the a7iv?
What camera did you use to film this video?
So could we expect some new pro cameras then since they are adding some better features to this vlogging camera? I almost have a reason to get this instead of the a7iv but not quite.
9:37, this is what we need in every other camera! I was shocked the day I got there is no artificial simulated shutter sound in my a7iv for electronic shutter mode. BTW another big thing is your don't lose eye and face AF when using clear image zoom. Which I hope comes to A7iv through firmware update! Finger crossed! Lol
great review
thank you
Even if I didn’t have A7iv already, I would get it again instead of ZV-E1. A7iv is far better hybrid camera.
I hope we get 50/60 fps without crop on next firmware update for A7iv
Sony are doing more than any other manufacturer. Not defending as I agree with you but facts are facts
Hi their
Does battery running fast for sony zv e1?
One thing I wanna know and sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it, but how's the grip on the E1? I went from an A7C to an A7IV and the difference between the grips was so vast I could never go back to a camera with a crappy grip again.
Hey guys, I‘m a Videographer and I‘m shooting rn on the Lumix G9. I want to get a sony camera for my clients work (mailny for instagram and yt) Would anyone recommend to „upgrade“ to the sony zv e1?
Can you use a godox flash with the zve1 for photo?, and if you use external monitor with the zve1 you loose the eye tracking autofocus?
Man...... Jason.... .Ive just decided..... that I am no longer buying flagship cameras! LOL
Just gonna just wait a year for something cheaper and better to come along.
haha pretty cool they have smaller cheaper cameras with the insane specs
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema ooh
Man I know right! It’s crazy! Dude you didn’t go to camera camp?
@@ItzSKYVlogs nah I went to Japan with the Aussie Sony team instead which was cool
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema well dang dude!!! I would have done that over San Diego any day!!!! I freakin love Japan!!! Wow!!!
Either one of these cameras, coming from my iPhone, I am horrified about the screen. Should I look at Canon instead? Or do you have any suggestions for a good monitor? Or how do people do that? I only will be using my camera in the studio, so if it’s just something I can attach to the camera or have right next to it, I wouldn’t mind doing that.
To cut the story short get the A7IV, unless you are a vlogger then you should get the A7IV
🤣
Why are people unhappy about micro HDMI? I’m not familiar too much about these technologies, but I feel like that’s a step forward compared to the big clunky HDMI.
Definitely a big step backwards for pro creators. Micro HDMI brake very easily compared to full size HDMI.
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Thanks. I wasn’t getting that vibe from the video.
This isn’t new tech and has been discussed several times on other videos on my channel. If you don’t know the benefits of full size HDMI, then that is no worries. full size HDMI isn’t for you and this camera hits the target audience for content creators and and vloggers who don’t need full size HDMI
I just want A1 II at this point.
that will be insane
Great job
thank you
What lens would you recommend for self recording in the gym?
if on a tripod I would choose the 24-70mm f2.8
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema thank you!!!
GMII 😊
I can understand the AI stuff not coming to older cameras via firmware....but for instance......the new stabilization.....there's no reason they can't bring that to older cameras like the a7iv....since it's pretty much entirely software based.
That is only if the new AI processor is needed. The older cameras may not handle this. It could also be marketing. As a business they won't make money giving every single feature to every single camera. I see it from both sides. As a consumer myself it does suck but I see it from a business stand point too. The perfect camera won't exist as it would cost an arm and a leg.
I need advice for shooting Jiujitsu. I have a go to tall camera op that has an A7III, but would like a flip screen to get the grappling top view. Would you guys recommend the A7iv or the EV-1? Would would like to have the capacity record for 30 minutes straight. Many thanks for the help.
Definitely a7iv. The zve1 will overheat.
@@Ibz87 thank you so much!
no problem @@Plugonetwo
Could you ask sony if the overheating would get better in a future firmware update?
they didnt use the large sigma heat sink in this camera. So it may be hardware
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema ah. Thanks
Wonder if it’s worth getting a7iv now at full price I’d an a7c2 is coming with the same sensor 👀
the A7C II would have the same sensor for sure. Just think it will be cheaper which means they will remove more expensive components like EVF and maybe some video features
How do I get a vlogging lens for the ZV-E1 without spending an extra 1k? I think the kit lens is too tight when using stabilization.
I do not recommend the kit lens at all steve. A second hand 20mm F1.8 would be a cool option or fork out some extra money for the new 16.35mm F4 PZ lens
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema All the good toys are expensive lol
Compare the fx30 and zve1 as a camera for filmmakers
I may do this. apples and bananas here
Sir the country where im living we have temp goes like 40°C-45°C so how as a vlogger I can use this camera. I m just youtuber travel vlogger not a professional still i hve a doubt about this situations
get lumix s5ii and be happy
a7siii
does dynamic stabilization affect low light performance?
I have to check this
