Wow. Another fantastic video in the can.
You have shared truly cinematic footage from the ZV-1ii. And I don't use the word "cinematic" too often. It's a word that is thrown around way too often. You have shown in your videos that it's not just the camera (i.e. tool) that you have in your hands. It's how you use it. And when you make an effort to capture good footage with whatever camera you have, it is possible. That being said, you have done an excellent job at showing how good the ZV-1ii can be. I say, "can be", because it's up to the user to make the effort to capture quality footage. The camera won't do it for you. Great job. Thank you.

Now there's something I never thought I'd hear from a Youtuber. "I'm indifferent to which one is better". That kind of nuanced honesty is why you've just earned a subscriber my friend!

[sandeepmortal]

I got the ZV1 because of you. And while the new model looks like an upgrade in most cases (except the aperture when zoomed), i think the ZV1 is still better, especially considering the price. And if one wants, they can get the wide angle lens.

Anyway. Thank you.
My future camera will be ZV E10 mark 2 as i am satisfied with my ZV1 now

[lalmuanpuiakhiangte]

I've been a constant fan of this channel because i own a Zv1 myself... Picked up almost every thing i know from this channel.. Your journey has been amazing... Keep at it😊😊😊

[TeeFetch]

I have the ZV-1, mostly asa still camera. I'd prefer the mark II simply for the battery door location. The crop factor improvement is nice too. Too bad I didn't wait 2 years. I've barely used the ZV-1 as it is due to other happenings. But the shots looks good in the orginal ZV-1.

[RyanDiBui]

Been watching your content from the get-go when you started with the ZV1. With the amount of content you've covered for the ZV1 I think you are the #1 most qualified person to give an in-depth review/comparison of the Mark II. I sold my ZV-1 with the cage and Ulanzi wide angle because it became too bulky to carry with my A7SIII. But now I will be getting the ZV1M2 as a pocket size B-cam without all the attachments. The ZV1M2 is how the original ZV1 was supposed to be.

You are literally the ZV1 ambassador and I only want to hear what you say about this new device, great job ! Looking forward to seeing more about mark 2 video footage

[arfmf]

That's some next level editing/composing. Nice work!

[saxophonydominikengel]

After one year of recording my music gigs with it, I still like the capabilities of the original ZV-1. Some things that are annoying with it have been solved with the new rendition (especially USB-C and wider angle) but come with a catch. I would rather upgrade to a ZV-E10 mk. 2 or even the full-frame ZV-E1 sometime.

[LauraTryUK]

I just broke my ZV1 - had it for years, what a great camera. You have convinced me to buy the mark 2. THANKS! So

[ItsMe_Philippines]

I really don’t feel like it’s an upgrade honestly. Still use my ZV-1 sometimes and it’s never failed me. Perfect for YouTube still videos.

[francisian]

Man, I am just rooting for this channel since day1... Keep rocking it bro!!!

[PhilKnall]

Thanks for the great info as always. I'll be sticking with my OG ZV-1 as the added features don't outweigh the loss of the OSS and HFR. Really puzzling choice on the latter. I would love to have the new touch menus and USB-C port - also one thing I loved on the ZV1F was that it gave you the option to go to usb streaming right when you plug it in - on both the ZV-1 and my a7c you need to go into the menu first.

[bluestaryt]

Man i love this video, im going with the ZV1 since it has all of the necessary features you need and it comes at a more affordable pricepoint. Love the advice it will be my first camera, your really selling it here id love to know what camera you use anyway great video, plus ik how long it takes and your production value is great to the color grading and editing, i first thought u had like a million subs so keep going loving the content ❤

[koolkenyan]

Good stuff, was waiting for this comprehensive comparison. Can't wait for the cinematic footage, shukran !

[halimrahman]

From the official source (Sony website, which I can't share the link), ZV-1 has a 3-stop ND filter built in.

Not so sure if I'd upgrade to Mark II as the "major" thing is only the lens. But of course, 18mm is way wider!

New menu for easy custom setting on ZV1M2, USB C and cine vlog setting, these are my main reasons to like the camera. Bought it and really enjoy it. My next wishlist for ZV1 is hoping Sony would reproduce RX100vii with FX cinema flavour in it. Perhaps with zoom 20-200mm, mechanical stabilisation, better battery life, better screen. What i don't need is 10bits colour, as it is difficult to edit and require expensive memory card.

[plumsyy]

im trying to start out in the camera world and hoping to buy the zv1 m2 as my first camera ever for vlogging so i would presume the cage is used for many reasons, 1.to get a better grip of the camera if there is no good grip.2 provide better aligned screwhole for gimbal or shooting grip.3 provides more cold shoe mounts and different mounts with different allignments for rigging out the camera overall.

[yggdrssil]

you make great contents, so happy to see sony sending you a camera to review

[KOrnhOliO]

I'm on a tight budget so the ZV1 was my choice. I got a nice used one for only $352 shipped. Since it's been out much longer, there are lots of nice used ZV1's to choose from. Not so with the ZV1 M2. I'd never pay the new price for a ZV1 M2 ... That's way over double what I paid.
Plus, I prefer the 24 to 70mm because of the rare ability to get a point and shoot camera with a built in lens with a 70mm f2.8! That's a pretty expensive lens in APSC.
I like the 70mm zoomed in image more than only a 50mm, and f4 is rather slow. I also like the two image stabilizations too. I'm undecided because I've never had a touch screen on any camera, except my phone, and I don't use my phone on anything but full auto. Just not a phone photography guy. So limiting and clunky.

I started out looking at the RX100V and others in that line, then discovered that the ZV1 pretty much is an RX100V with more easy to use video features. Since the RX100 line is so sought after, they are really expensive, even used! My used ZV1 was less than half what most RX100V's go for used and I like the ergonomics of the ZV1 much better so it was an easy choice!
Thanks for all of your great content! 😎🤘
