The Sony obviously looks better with natural colour and details, while the iPhone better for casual instagram post

[giljesusseraspe]

The Sony ZV1 is very natural. And that's amazing in my book.

To my untrained eyes, the video on the ZV-1 is miles ahead.

Sony Wx350, Canon SX540HS or Iphone 12 for videos on Live from OBS to youtube?

[IrenaSugar]

best review i've seen ever! side-by-side, detailed, complete, great job!!! i will go with ZV-1 for vlogging and daily, since I already have a smartphone and wanna keep it separate between phone and camera

[MasumAustralia]

One big drawback of iPhone no one mentions is the front facing camera of iphone is not capable of blur effect aka bokeh for vlogging whereas the aperture of zv1 easily can do it.

[lynneftw]

Probably not an ideal comparison because of automatic color, contrast, sharpness adjustments within the phone software. The ZV-1 is better (as with all digital p&s, dslr, and mirrorless cameras) shot in raw and edited to taste. Phones mostly make those decisions on the user's behalf when in automatic modes.

If you are not a "FilmMaker" the iPhone is no brainer. its more camera then those we had 10-20 years back for TV use. :)
Great video, loved it! The shot with the lady and Clown were amazing in slowmotion.

[TeamGonzalesBohol]

Omg so glad I bumped into this video! I already have the 12 Pro Max and was thinking to buy the Sony ZV-1. Now I know I don’t need to buy the Sony. I definitely am satisfied with my phone. Thank you again for this video!😍

People say "In daylight an iphone is fine", however your 300% comparison shots are revealing - the iphone image looks pretty awful. Thanks.

[TomNguyen]

Really well-done video! You get straight to the point with comparisons, with no need to overexplain anything. Thanks!

[paulblack]

The sound of the Sony is miles ahead! More accurate leaving scope for a Producer) does the Sony have an option to add even a higher end plug-in or wireless Mic ? Apogee MiC would be a lovely fit - for live music it’s serious too. iPhone Cam looks great but over cooked / fake at times.
Probably the Sony would have more scope for colour grading later in FCPX etc ?

The IPhone is great for a Smartphone but the ZV-1 is so much better! Nice video btw

[AlexandraMilovanova]

Thank you! I just ordered a zv1 before watching your review! It’s coming tomorrow

[CHATgptALL]

Good video but for long perception which one is good for me 14 vs zv1 vs zv1 f

[AlexBerish]

If you keep making great quality content like this you are gonna be huge man. Please keep it up!! Made my decision for a ZV-1 easy

[NisargBehera]

If i use the samyang 12 mm lens, which one will give the most ultrawide ? The iphone’s 13mm ultrawide or the zv1 ‘s ?

[NoahHofelt]

This video was so well done! Thank you for all the great info and comparisons!
