The Casual Reviewer –
A Vlogger’s dream from Sony
I recently purchased the Sony ZV-1F Vlog Camera and am thrilled with its performance! As a content creator, I needed a camera that balances quality, portability, and ease of use, and this one hits all the marks. The 20.1 MP sensor captures stunning images and smooth 4K video, which has improved the quality of my vlogs significantly. The flip-out touchscreen is a fantastic feature for framing shots while I’m in front of the camera, making it super user-friendly for solo filming. The background defocus button is another nice touch, allowing me to effortlessly blur the background and make myself stand out in my videos.One of the best aspects is the built-in microphone, which captures clear audio even in windy conditions, reducing the need for external mics during casual shoots. Itâs compact and lightweight, perfect for on-the-go vlogging or traveling.If I had to mention a downside, the battery life could be better for long shoots. Still, the Sony ZV-1F is a solid investment for anyone serious about creating high-quality content. I highly recommend it for vloggers and content creators looking to elevate their production value!

Great camera for beginner vloggers
Received my package within a few days of purchase. I’m excited for this purchase! My first camera! Great Christmas gift ever. The camera setting were already set. You will have to download the creators app to transfer footage and learn more settings. The battery life is not bad but not great either. You must buy a SD card it’s not included. Also buy extra batteries. Functionality is great. light weight. Video quality is great. Please play around with your settings for your liking. GREAT FOR THE PRICE! THIS IS A GREAT CAMERA FOR BEGINNERS!!!

Good camera 7/10 refurbished experience
When I received the camera it was dead but did have the original Sony battery in it. I was worried at first but opted to buy a charger for the battery. Once it was charged everything worked perfectly. I like the quality of the camera. Itâs lightweight and easy to navigate. A good camera for a starting blogger like myself. Havenât tried the photo taking ability but for videos I would recommend . The fuzzy microphone cover was also nasty so I opted to just toss it. For a refurbished camera I am satisfied.

Nice camera but you need accessories
I like the camera a lot. I have to say the quality of the photos and videos is excellent. I would suggest you try it out and check the settings and familiarized yourself with it before using it on a once and a lifetime trip. I have had mine a year. I didnât get any accessories with it at first. I would suggest buying several extra batteries if you are going to be at an extra special event. The batteries seem to run down quick. I just bought the camera initially so it didnât come with much in the way of accessories. At a minimum I would suggest some extra batteries, a wrist strap, and a little carrying case. Over all I really like the camera and I want to start using it more. I like the touch screen and the fact that you can move the video screen around. It is also small enough to fit in your jacket pocket very comfortably. So over all I give it 4 stars. I deducted one star because it needs accessories to make it more user friendly.

Fantastic, if you understand what it is.
I wanted some thing small and simple which would give me good audio and an improved picture as compared to the front facing camera on my iPhone 15 Pro Max.I wanted it to be small for portability and capable of producing very good video on automatic settings, since I shoot my Vlogs very quickly and extemporaneously. I donât have the inclination to check for perfect exposure, etc..This camera is smaller than you probably think it is. Perfectly pocketable. Video on this is substantially better than video from the front facing camera on my phone. The audio from the built-in mics are better than the iPhones, meaning I donât need to use a Lavalier or other microphone for really fantastic audio.I tried a budget action cam, But the picture was not appreciably better than Myphone and in some cases was worse. The microphone was garbage and it had no standard jack for audio. It had a proprietary port, so I returned it..I paid absolute full price for this, missing the Amazon sales unfortunately. Yet, Iâm not returning this camera. It is my new vlog camera.I am very, very, very happy with a spectacular picture, quality and remarkable audio. The view from my mounting bracket is plenty wide.I have a Sony ZVE 10 for more serious filming, but this pocket guy does such a good job that it will become my workhorse.Youâre going to get a better picture than an action cam and a microphone jack, but you may not need it. Youâre not going to get a better picture than a Sony ZVE 10 or a 1000 or 2000 or $5000 DLSR or mirrorless camera.What you will get is video that is almost as good from a tiny little package that really impresses..Highly recommended

Super cool camera !
Iâm not a big tech camera person, but I wanted to get something to Vlog my baby shower & this is the coolest thing ever. Camera connects to Bluetooth, has WiFi connect ability, and its touch screen and the screen flips out for selfie mode. If you want a camera with good stabilization, this might not be your best bet BUT getting a Gimble would help tremendously since it is small and youâll be holding it in your hand as you walk.. but you can use camera to change contrast, exposure etc.. zoom in speed is smooth, sound quality is good & comes with a mic & battery. The image is super clear , it does have auto focus so thatâs cool, and itâs very function able for getting a good clear image. Itâs your beginners camera but for the price itâs amazing.

NOTA: Esta camara es para competir con telefonos de gama media (2023), si vienes de un telefono de gama alta notaras que la calidad de imagenes de la camara es inferior.PROS.- Es muy ligera.- Calidad de imagen buena (Adjunto foto de columpio)- Calidad de video es lo mejor de la cámara, apesar de que solo llega a 4k 30fps, la calidad es muy buena, mejor que un iPhone 13 o 14 para abaja.- Por el precio (en oferta) es excelente no se le puede exigir más.- Con una memoria de 128gb se puede tomar más de 9999 fotos y más de 3 horas en 4K.- El sonido que graba es bastante bueno, alcanza sonidos de pájaros, hojas en movimiento.- Contiene muchas configuraciones manuales para que tu foto/video salga bien.CONTRAS:- La baterÃa dura poco, si es solo para fotos dura como 2 horas o más. Si es para videos 1 hora.- No se le puede adaptar flash automatico ya que no cuenta con la entrada.- No se le puede intercambiar lentes.- El Zoom solo alcanza al X2.- No tiene filtro UV por defecto.No se le puede exigir mucho a la camara por el precio que cuesta, si quieres subir de nivel ve por el ZV 1 o por el ZV E10, estos ya tienen lentes intercambiables y adapatador de flash. Para iniciar en la fotografÃa y video es buena, tiene buenos resultados y muchas opciones de ajustes.
