Sony ZV-1 VS iPhone 11 Pro

Sony ZV-1 vs iPhone 11 Pro - Both the Sony ZV-1 and the iPhone 11 Pro both shoot 4K video. Both are very portable and the ZV-1 and the iPhone will happily fit in your pocket. BUT!! Which is better for making videos with? This video shows the Sony ZV-1 and the iPhone 11 Pro in action, so you can decide which is better for you. Let me know in the comments which you liked more...

Great footage and content, Vic! Thanks for the comparison! Just love the picture warmth of the ZV-1, and the audio seems to be outstanding. Man, I gotta get to the motherland!

Massive difference in quality between the iPhone 11 Pro (which I have) and the ZV-1. Thanks for this.

Really enjoyed this video, thanks Vic! Looking into the ZV-1, would you recommend it for shooting indoors with a controlled lighting setup?

Obviously, the best camera is the one you have in your hand. Phone video has gotten pretty great. But in this case, not only does ZV-1 edge out the iPhone on video IMHO, but the ZV1 audio just kills the iPhone! No substitute for an external mic (which you can you use on the either device). But, but the combination of the flip screen, Sony auto-focus, and the remote control are what really what makes the ZV1.

Great comparison video. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!

Another great video Vic. Were you using the Mavic Pro in the drone shot?

Age doesn't matter, if you have the passion !! I'm inspired and blessed to be here 🔥 😍

I have no words, amazing! I'm hoping to buy a camera for next year and wow. I have my eye already on this one and thanks I loved the locations where you went. I am from El Paso TX, (USA) and we don't have nature like that. Great Video!

Thank you for the review! Spectacular views, by the way!!

The ZV1 has creamier background blur. I just wish it had a wider angle on the low end. It’s just a tad too tight for walking vlogs. The steady shot crops even further. So unless you put the camera on a tripod & step back, the iphone wins. It may not have the creamy background blur of the 1” sensor, but the stabilization is amazing & it’s just so convenient. It’s getting harder & harder to justify a point & shoot. If you want better quality, you might as well spring for a mirrorless FF camera.

It's ironic isn't it that the drone footage is by far the best

[liamoggriffin]

IPhone stabilisation is very good... Although you can see the image digitally moving to compensate for shake. That audio on the ZV1 is mint.

Which iPhone 11 Pro did you use? I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max and it has better resolution than the smaller models.

I want to see more low light comparison.

Super helpful.
A video idea - a lot of us online classroom teachers in India have bought a ZV1. If it is feasible for your time and effort can you do a video in which zv1 settings are fine tuned to focus on the whiteboard. You can check out a couple of videos on my channel that I am shooting with ZV1 and have no God damn clue how to get this right 😂

How long does it take to transfer video from Sonyzv to iPhone?

[TechnicalDifficulties]

Haha I'm half Irish and seeing Ireland through this camera I've been considering is nostalgic! Thanks for the review ✌️

Now i can see the huge difference between the song zv1 and iphone 11 and you make me thinking if buying this wodrful camera

[MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

Hi mate, loved the "Blair Witch" camera shake shots them moving to "proper" camera stability. Learning a lot just watching your vids. ZV1 takes it for background blur and iPhone for sharpness and clarity. Both great for the kit bag and loved the drone shots.

Of course, being retired, I can’t afford an iPhone 11 Pro, but I’ve managed to get a Google Pixel 4, which does quite well, but the selfie camera is nowhere near as good as the iPhone one.
