In studio it doesn't provide much background separation, a canon, Panasonic Olympus or Fuji can pretty much match its af and surpass its background separation.
I've been researching cameras for weeks now, and this is honestly the best video showing the examples I've seen. The ONLY one I found showing examples one after another like image stabilization. Thank you.
Dear Sony, you should know that 24 mm is not wide enough for vlogging! Especially if there is a crop in 4k and another crop for the stabilization. The camera would be really good if it would have a 16 - 50 mm lens, but like that it is not really usable for vlogging.
i had this camera a year ago but ended up returning it bc i stopped filming due to life changes and now i repurchased it, waiting for it to come in the mail. this was a great camera. so excited to be filming with it again!!!!!!
I just received mine today. Looking forward to working with it this weekend. BTW, your kids are adorable! I bought this camera so I can take a lot of vids with my soon to be grandchild.
The way you showed it...❤ I saw that on instagram and i said no no.. no compact camera but the way you showed the camera i really want that .. as my first camera i want .. help me out if you can give it😔❤
I love absolutely everything about this camera except for the one thing that makes this almost unusable for much of the vlogging audience its intended for. Most vloggers prefer wide shots with good stabilization. Unfortunately, the widest this camera gets is still not wide enough for many vloggers, and then when you use the best stabilization setting (active), it crops into that even more. (And obviously there are vloggers who don't mind the crop, but many will - and this might be a deal breaker for buying this camera.) If the ZV-2 remedies this and keeps all of the other great features, I would definitely buy it.
From Philippines Here! Small TH-camr Vlogger. Thank you for this review. I hope someday I can have this one. I am now using Basic Smart phone for my personal Vlog.
Love the intro Sidney. Great review. The flip out screen I hope will make it to the other cameras coming out soon. I really like the flip up screen but if it gives me the hot shoe back i will take it.
Hey man great video, I'm a streamer/creator who focuses on all the latest streaming gear hitting the market, can't find any info on this question so hopefully you can help me out! Does this little guy sport a clean HDMI out so that people can use it in conjunction with an elgato camlink to function as a webcam for their live streams?
Officially, I don't know from Sony's end right now. I will say, that I've splashed this camera in the rain and with that hose, and it's still working fine!!
Have you shot any video with it recording like a kids soccer game etc., if so is it decent? Looking for something compact besides a camcorder to use and not have to spend a lot.
I recently sold all of my equipment to afford my wedding and I’m looking at getting a new camera that can do everything so I don’t have to buy a bunch of lenses and all of the equipment that comes with that. I really enjoyed your review and I think this will be perfect for what I want to do. Do you still recommend this camera or is there something out there that I should look at as well? Also are you in McKinney? I feel like the parking garage was in downtown and I go there all the time. Lol
Is this still the best way to go for product shots? I have the iPhone 13 Pro but my process is a complete headache because this camera will not stay in focus for the life of me. Or if I am holding up a controller to the camera, it is weird like it will only focus on the buttons or the sticks. It can’t just focus on the entire controller and the second I move it around. It loses focus. I need something where I can just simply review the product and have it all look really good with a nice blurry background but look better than my iPhone 13 pro. Because whenever I get a good shot with this thing, it’s amazing. It’s just so hard to get the shot one video can take me five hours to record and two months to edit.
@@SidneyDiongzon It’s the best? So better than anything else out there? I ask because it’s been a couple years and I’ve never bought a good camera so I wanna make sure it’s future proof especially with how fast smart phone cameras are advancing. I don’t want a downgrade from my iPhone 13 Pro.
Also I’m a little worried about hearing that you can’t remove battery or SD card while it’s attached to a tripod. I try to remove as many steps as I can in the process cuz I’m so easily stressed/overstimulated
@@SidneyDiongzon Interesting. Visually though, seems like it might be a downgrade? I guess it depends on what you want haha. Seems like every product has its pros and cons - like phones, or anything! Nothing can just be better than something else lol 🤦♂ Just watched your comparison video
Sidney Diongzon I love the fact that Sony is working hard at all their products....good internal mic =less gear purchase which is absolutely great for small creators.
Sidney Diongzon Interesting, I just love Sony. always thinking innovation and seeing into the future before competitors. Sony making life easy since long time ago. I will really love to livestream without thinking of buying or adding a capture card. Who doesn’t like to save money , I do. Thank you Sidney, you are always bringing value to my life.
it looked more than just a slight crop to me and if anyone wants the high frame rate its been available since the rx100iv but having said that i am still likely to buy one (i have owned the rx100 mk 1,3,4,5,6)
With ACTIVE stabilization crops it so with only being 24mm and up its kind of to narrow for vlogging dont you think? Especially with another crop on top of that if shooting 4k
The picture quality is amazing but has anyone experienced overheating problem? I bought the camera yesterday. I took 1 min of 1080p video with it. The lcd screen was on the body. After 20 min or so while I was just moving around and changing setings , it said it will shut down because of heating and it was shut down. Is it normal ? Should I send it to warranty? (Auto power off temperature -> standard)
Waiting for someone who can do a real world review and mentions the negative stuff about the camera. The closest video I seen posted about this is DPreview which shows how bad is the stabilization while walking even with the digital stab on. 24mm is a bit tight for vlog, and with that additional crop than most of the frame will be your face.
Looks like some thought went into it, to me it would only be used as a video camera, I hate shooting photos on a camera without a viewfinder. It’s a little on the pricey side for a vlogging camera though, to me. It’s a step in the right direction though, the tripod control and flip out screen (perfect) are great. The included windscreen is nice. Why micro USB Sony!? :p Oh and the record light is great!
Sidney Diongzon - it definitely looks it, but at over $1K CDN it’s a bit much for what would be a vlogging camera for me. It’s definitely cool and feature rich, I love that the fixed lens is 1.8-2.8 and the built in ND.
Hi I just bought my new Sony ZV-I and I want to film sitting in my living room - I want to film at 1080 Format therefore what should the Record Time be set to for this? Thank you.
What questions do you have about the new SONY ZV-1 vlog camera????
I just saw about 11 of these reviews pop up all at the same time pretty much, but of course I had to watch your review first
Yeah, some of us had it for weeks now to play with it. Thanks for watching!
Is the HDMI out a clean feed?
What is the battery life like? Any better than RX100?

I woke up to 16 new videos about this new camera and I chose yours to watch....favorite YTer
Thanks so much bro!!!

Could using a monopod/selfie stick solve this problem?
You REALLY don’t need to shoot 4K for TH-cam. If your audience watch on big TVs, cool. In their phones, 1080 looks crisp.
i had this camera a year ago but ended up returning it bc i stopped filming due to life changes and now i repurchased it, waiting for it to come in the mail. this was a great camera. so excited to be filming with it again!!!!!!
I just bought this camera. It should be perfect for story telling and vlogging. Great for non-critical walk and talk content.
enjoy it! let us know how it goes!
@@Trackstareman23 I’m happy with it so far. The battery life is low, but overall the balance of image quality and ease of use is a great compromise.
There's a new adapter by Neewer that gives a wide angle, macro and 49mm adapter for ND filters and such. So good
epic epic epic ecpic - they packed so much into this for those of us who want to point and shoot and get quality. Great review!
Thanks my dude!
I just received mine today. Looking forward to working with it this weekend. BTW, your kids are adorable! I bought this camera so I can take a lot of vids with my soon to be grandchild.

There’s a ulanzi wide 18mm adapter
Very well done video man thank you for taking the time to make this! Im super excited for my Sony ZV-1!
I've just watched 2 dozen videos on this Camera and yours is the best
Thanks so much!
From Philippines Here! Small TH-camr Vlogger. Thank you for this review. I hope someday I can have this one. I am now using Basic Smart phone for my personal Vlog.
Just sold my A7iii to save more money for whatever Sony comes out with next A7s3/A74? But this ZV1 might just be my new camera till that comes out!
Sony ZV-1 or Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 for video?
Beautiful
The Start of Your Video was EPIC whaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Thanks so much!
great video thank you!! praying ill get my hands on this by next year!
BOOM! 🔥 Love your vids Sidney! How does it perform in low lighting (i.e. such as in a dark room like the one you’re in)?
Thanks Debbie! I’m making a video about that soon!!!
Sidney Diongzon you’re the best! Thank you!!!
Do you think I should buy this sony camera? Or should I buy a dslr camera for going on adventures?
If you press that background defocus button will it stay like that until you stop recording?
It’ll stay like until you press the button again
@@SidneyDiongzon Thank you !
Best coverage in this! Always awesome bro! 💯
Thank you so much!
Seems pretty good for beginners and a nice 2nd camera for intermediate vloggers! Thanks for this review Sid 😉
Thanks very well explained. I want to record my band's 2 hour plus rehearsals, output via hdmi, hit record and forget, will the camera not overheat?
Hi Sidney would you say you could shoot an actual movie with this camera?
Love it. Ordered. Thanks.
Amazing
Is it worth buying or sony 6400?
Love the intro Sidney. Great review. The flip out screen I hope will make it to the other cameras coming out soon. I really like the flip up screen but if it gives me the hot shoe back i will take it.
How good is the low light performance?
Great looking camera. I always love your intros!
haha, that intro with the "Perfectly cut scream"
LOL, my throat was sore after filming that!
What camera are you using to film this with? Looks good.
U made me buy sony A6400, and here is the new sony camera 😭 great video Sid ☺️
Thanks so much! You gonna pre-order!???
Sidney Diongzon I’m contemplating, still a broke student 😂 subscriber from Malaysia 🥰

I think I stay with my bmpcc, bmcc and pana g7 but thanks for sharing
Can we turn on product showcase while stabilization also on?? Thank you
Yep!

For the first camera and casual user. Which one is most worth it sony zv1 or sony zv e10 lens kit?
Can you imagine a software update so I can use my AirPods as mic replacements, and adds headphones!!! Ordered mine!!!

Here I was looking at old RX100 models 😯
It's pretty similar in design
I love you man. This was a great little review.
had to like this just from the intro alone 😂
Would you recommend a zv-1 or a mirror less camera?
Any good for music videos?
Nice ,and quick review.How about iso ,is it any good?
Watching after a year exactly!!!
glad to watch your review man.
The internal mic is absolutely manageable
RIGHT!!???? Not too shabby, and I can imagine it getting better in future products!
Sidney Diongzon I love the fact that Sony is working hard at all their products....good internal mic =less gear purchase which is absolutely great for small creators.
Seriously!! Also, they’re planning on a firmware update so that you can livestream with this camera WITHOUT a capture card!

Great Review brother❤
11sec in.. gave you a huge thumbs up for that intro haha
Are all slow motion frame rates capped at 5 seconds of recording?
Did you have face softening off? If so, do you think this camera has issue capturing sharpness on faces and skin?
Nice camera. Nice features but I feel myself swaying towards Fujifilm with their new X-T4.
It’s pretty dang amazing
How slight is the crop factor , when Image stabilization is turned on?
The crop factor only happens when using ACTIVE STABILIZATION. I would estimate about a 1.2x or 1.3x crop factor.
Does it record in mp4 format or only xavc
Nice explaining 👍
Good review. Best camera.
A new camera that we can't afford, nice.
The price seems pretty fair tho
are you secretly testing a Sony A7iv with flip out screen by chance?! You can tell me. *wink*.
as the ZV-1 can shoot up to 30 fps in 4K, would you shoot all your b-roll in full hd, would this cause a disparity when editing?
Where’s the link to buy
Link in description!
Waiting for someone who can do a real world review and mentions the negative stuff about the camera.
The closest video I seen posted about this is DPreview which shows how bad is the stabilization while walking even with the digital stab on. 24mm is a bit tight for vlog, and with that additional crop than most of the frame will be your face.
EVERY camera can shoot badly if you don't know how to use it.
Thank you - helped me alot.
4 things Sony, 16mm and Z battery. Missing internal storage and we need USB-C. Everything else is acceptable.
Okay, finally they made screen facing side ways
Right!????
Can I attach lens?

Hi I just bought my new Sony ZV-I and I want to film sitting in my living room - I want to film at 1080 Format therefore what should the Record Time be set to for this? Thank you.
How is LOWLIGHT?
Dose dust get inside the lens like the canon g7x mark ii ??
Not that I've noticed!
Hi my footages even on Active are not good and still annoying! Do I miss anything? Is it working on M video mode only or else? Thanks
Can you give me advice? I have this camera but it don’t record long how can I fix this.
It would have sense to upload footage in 4k otherwise it's hard to see what sharpness it really has.
Please mention that the screen dims badly while filming in 4k. I hated my 6500 for that, under bright sun the user is practically blind
Awesome, mind need one!
Oh. My. God!🤩🤩🤩
Super informative and helpful! Would love to see a technical review between the Sony ZV-1 and Sony RX100 VII, by you and only you. :)
Haha!! Thanks for watching!
oh dayumm this was something unexpected!
It's a pretty dope camera!!
The camera mic is better than rode!
zv1 or g7m3?
Seems like an updated rx100m5 with more features, cheaper price. Video specs are mostly the same from 2016/2017.
Hay bro, you looks like Elon Musk. :)
Why im seeing max res. 480 ?
I get to much noise when I shoot with HLG2 and 3 I need help
Entertaining review
can you put a strap on this ? yk a camera strap that can go around your shoulders
Annnnnnnd..... they went with a micro-USB. Come on, Sony.
I just bought this and feel really bad because all my footage looks terrible and it cost more then my phone which looks even better IMO.. ugh
The F 1.8 goes away as soon as u zoom in! Keep that in mind!
The moment u zoom just a bit from 24mm to about 28mm it goes away.
At the moment of clicking this video I thought I clicked on a Zach Ramelan video.
