Sony ZV-1F vs Sony ZV-1 || Cinematic Footage Test and Review

Accessories I use on mostly EVERY video

I had the ZV-1f for four days and I went out and shot a lot with it. The ZV-1f is a beginner camera so thats how I will be reviewing it and comparing it with the ZV-1 in some real world tests. If you want the quick version I think the ZV-1f is great for Behind the scenes videos but is it suitable for serious filmmakers and those of you who are not beginners?

Not only was this the best review I've found but the story telling was incredible. Thanks a ton man!

[HistoricalWeapons]

The zv1f is a simpler camera so it’s more durable than a zv1. It has no motors for the lens zoom which can be a struggle for cold weather (especially here in Canada) it’s the cheapest Sony camera with a mic jack + background blur . That’s all you need as a YouTuber cuz most people watch in 480p so audio quality is way more important. I’m getting one

What an impactful intro!
Didn't expect to ask myself existential questions when clicking this video. But it fit the theme, well done!

[fahminorman]

This must be one of the best reviews I encounter for comparison of both cameras. Thanks a lot man.

[TonesAdventuresHD]

Good review coach! I think it’s appropriate for beginners who have a limited budget who wants to learn about manual settings

[HoneyandMe]

Another informative video, Joe! Makes me happier with my ZV-1. Thanks for this!

So I have a A7iv, FX30 and zv-e10 but I just picked up a gently used ZV1F for &280. Im excited to play with it. I think it will be a fun little camera that I can carry anywhere

A week ago I got back from guiding workshops in Death Valley and Eastern Sierras. For some tight low angles and overall scenes I decided to use the ZV1 over my A7R3. I setup bracketing on my ZV1 like on my A7R3. 3 brackets 2 stops apart with a 5 second delay auto bracket. -2, 0, +2
Extreme contrast scenes 5 brackets 2 stops apart. ISO set to 100 or 200. It’s nice having the same menus in both cameras.

Today I processed several of those HRD images. This ZV1 definitely a little powerful camera. The HDR came out clean with great colors. One secret for pulling out better colors in Lightroom is setting the color profile to Camera Standard. This uses a lot more color information than the default Adobe Color. I then ran the file through Topaz Sharpen AI. And that really brought out the extreme micro contrast sharpness of the lens.

Now I wish I used it more for some scenes.

Thanks for your reviews and sharing your experiences. I’ll send you a few photos on Instagram so you can see them. Ryan

Bought the ZV-1 just days before 1f came out and was feeling bad. But your video made me feel good about my decision. Thanks for an amazing video. BTW at 3:45 is this the ZV1 in rain ? Is the ZV1 waterproof to any degree?

[MollyFitzBrown]

As someone who purchased it to use Active Stabilization most of the time, the jitter in the back was annoying. Returned it for a zv1 (on sale for the holidays) and a selfie stick for some extra distance. Might look into the add on lens still.

[TimBrownTown]

Thanks for doing this. First comparison of this type and definitely needed for people looking at one of these cameras!

[klementromanov]

Thank you for the clear and informative review! I myself shoot with a full-frame camera, but tomorrow I will receive a SONY ZV-1 for a gift to my beloved, who is engaged in video blogs and is starting a big video project with me.

[chrisbarcena]

Great video man! Wanted your thoughts on if the ZV1-f is a good camera for self-tapes / shooting auditions? Also in case im shooting a scene with a lot of movement?

Or if you have any other budget cameras to recommend. I mainly shoot on a tripod with a plain backdrop.

[Capt_Billy]

Which picture profile is the best to use? Is there a way to cure the focus hunting with the ZV-1f?

[JesseQuinnMedia]

Good review, but the lack of footage left me feeling like I wasted a large portion of time watching this awaiting footage. The video appeared to make it look like there was more footage, but I wish you’d made it clear in the beginning that you really don’t have footage examples and this video is going to be a detailed review without footage.

[shiranmallikarachchi]

I like this guy.when I watch your videos I feel like I am watching a movie ❤

[Loveroflife]

You have no idea how much you’ve helped me with this video!!! Thank you thank you 🙏🏼

[Capt_Billy]

Please beg Sony to fix the ZV-1F. I just got the DJI Pocket 3 to play with and its blown me away how good its image looks. Its priced the same as the ZV-1F. I hate its form factor and rather have the ZV-1F. I hope and pray the ZV-1F M2 is around the corner waiting to blow everyones minds.

[Rsmin]

Great review. Love your content and explanation. Went through your quiz yesterday after subscribing and still trying to decide between the zv-1f and the pocket 3. I was already trying to decide between the two when your quiz suggested those two. Keep up the great work.
