   Excellent travel camera
   Like all modern sony cameras, you gotta know to a certain extent what you’re doing to get the most out of the cameras. To be fair, this applies to all cameras including smartphone cameras, but that’s beside the point.Anyway, this camera was released about 2 years ago at the time of me writing this. I bought it for someone else, as it fit the budget and it has all the features that they’ll need. I did have a day to test it out and the TLDR is that it’s a very easy recommendation for anyone who wants a compact camera that can take excellent stills and videos but doesn’t need a huge zoom range.My primary digital camera is a sony a6600, and the zv-1 has a very similar image quality to that. Both in video and photo modes. The a6600 of course has more dynamic range and better low light but that camera also costs a little over twice as much as this one and both serve different demographics.The zv-1 has an adequately fast (i.e. wide aperture) lens with equivalent focal length of 24-70mm, which is a solid range for most things. The lens is sharp throughout the zoom range and has very little defects (defects as in chromatic aberration, distortion, vignette etc.).The video quality is excellent. If you know your way around any NLE, I’d recommend shooting in 4k @100mbps always and with a custom picture profile with gamma set to s-log2 and gamut set to itu709. Set detail to the lowest possible value (-7). That, i find, to be the optimal setting for the low bitrate 8bit footage. If you don’t want to do post processing, perhaps I’d suggest using no picture profile but turning up DRO to max.The cons would include a very short battery life. However, the camera can be powered indefinitely with a power bank. I reckon it’s an acceptable tradeoff for the tiny footprint of the camera. Speaking of which, you might also wanna get a strap for it as it doesn’t come with one and if you have bigger hands like i do, there’s definitely a risk of it falling.I didn’t have time to do super thorough tests, but from what I’ve seen, I think I can easily recommend this camera to anyone who wouldn’t mind the limitations of it. The primary limitations being a smaller sensor size, fixed lens and a small battery.Oh, and it doesn’t have a flash built in but I kinda prefer not having a built in flash because i never use it and it’s just one more thing waiting to break.

   Should You Buy Sony ZV-1 ?
   So i have been using this Beast For Almost 2 Months Now And Tbh Im Loving it Especially The AF Of This Camera is Really Awesome and the quality it gives is just amazing for a point and shoot camera almost directly comparable to DSLRs worth 100k+ inrthere is only 2 very minor issues that i suffered from1;- battery life it does not long last if you do vlogging i would recommend you getting a extra battery2;- lense is not interchangeable (the built in lense kit is good infact really awesome but interchangeable lenses gives a creator flexibility)

   Beginner friendly ZV1
   Best camera you can buy as a content creator!I always confused between Canon m50 or Sony ZV1. Atleast choose the ZV1. Because of these resons,1. Great Autofocus ( Very very useful. Sony cameras are very reliable)2. Quality (Sony smashed Canon)3. Less croped, usable 4k recording ( As compared to m50)4. Low light capability (Much much better than m50)5. Value for money ( I calculted overall cost to get the same things from M50, and it cost more than ZV1)But, yes there have two major drawbacks,1. Battery (Yes you’ll get more battery life in m50 compared to ZV1)2. 24mm lens ( I think 16mm is the best lens for vlogging and you can buy one for M50. For ZV1, yes it’s 24mm is wide but not as much as you need for vlogging.)Conclusion – If you need Quality, reliability and compactability just like me, this is the camera you need.No other camera on the market can beat it in this price point.

   Impressive camera for videos and vlogging
   I bought ZV-1 for making videos for my YouTube channel and Instagram. The camera captures good 4K videos and has good stabilization. It also smoothes skin, a kind of beauty mode to make you look good in videos.The autofocus is also really good. Features like Product Showcase and Background Defocus also make it better. If you need a compact camera for vlogging, get it. This camera is not good for photos. It also lacks longer zoom range. In case you want a camera that can also capture good photos, avoid it. Consider it as a video camera only.

   Totally a junk product, which has stopped working within 15days of buying
   I wanted to give zero rating, but there is no option for that. This product is totally a junk item and does not work. Within few days of buying it, it stopped working and can not access the SD card, even though I bought the best quality SD card.The service center did not provide me any support during the warranty period, instead they are blaming the SD card, which is absolutely a false statement by them.So, sincerely suggest the buyer not to buy this product at any cost.
