SONY ZV-1 REVIEW | NOT The 'PERFECT' Camera Yet

NEW FroPack 2 Lightroom Presets

This is a REVIEW of the Sony ZV-1 Vlogging Camera that's based off of the Sony RX100 Mark V. Sony released this camera with the focus squarely on Vloggers. But in my opinion, this camera FAILS at being a vlogging camera for one specific reason (watch the video for what that is). On top of that I ran into a MAJOR issue when wearing my polarized sunglasses and trying to vlog.

FOUR VLOGGERS DROPPED A REVIEW ABOUT THIS CAMERA AT THE SAME TIME .
THIS WAS THE BEST ONE, I MADE SURE TO LIKE IT TWICE.

[RolandoMora]

Uff I saw the full video. Let me tell you this:
I have sony rx100 v which does not have mic input ❌

I have the sony a7iii but is too huge if I want to go out from my recording studio (and you know its limitated screen) ❌

Sony rx100 vii does not have f1.8 so i cant record decently in my room or living room without my day lights gear

Canon m50 poor autofocus and has not f1.8 (but you can change it) nevertheless I dont trust its autofocus so then no ❌

Sony a6500 The same thing with the camera size and I cant see myself through the screen


Sony zv1 is the most closed to the needs ✅I have ¿which ones?
¡Record in my own house out of my studio! Only using an external mic with a decent low light response

I dont know if I am the only one who has been waiting for this years

I would love a better stabilization
But I know any camera is perfect 💔

I think that this camera is great for events where they don't let you get mirrorless cameras into, like music festivals, or clubs. It's like the perfect camera when you hit the road and don't want the attention you would get from walking around with a mirrorless cam with a lens.

Saw other reviews of this today and by far I always prefer Jared’s reviews because dude is honest and the key point of investing in a camera is true I would rather vlog with my phone and invest in a real camera that can grow as time goes on because $800 for something that you can’t really grow with would suck

[MichaelBSteeleAviation]

Jared, you are hands down one of the best camera reviewers out there. Just like photos, reviews are best raw LOL. I appreciate that you are using the camera that you are reviewing. Its crazy how many channels don't do this.
I'm thinking about getting this for my flight reviews. Space is a big issue on aircraft, especially when I do economy class reviews. Looking to upgrade from my iPhone X that I currently use.

We have this camera, we did a video on it, the whole not being able to use sunglasses def hurts, and on ours the screen goes dark when it gets warm.. not sure how to fix that.

[arovz]

The best review of all the ones that came out (at the same time), and the only one that noticed that BIG problem with polarized lenses.

[AJ-emrb]

the polarized glasses interaction depends on both the QA of the glasses and the QA of the camera screen. Some manufacturers don't always have the polarizing filter lined up perfectly (both camera and glasses). It could be that it's your specific camera and other zv-1's are unaffected, but if they're all like that.... yikes.

I Noticed Every Single video with "Best Vlogging Camera" in the title
Except Jared's
100% Fair review unlike everyone
And People Said he was Paid By Sony

[riotrob]

The market for this is small, but they are a “loud” group.

[thomasgunn]

I've been saying for years now that a nice smartphone with a wide-angle lens and an osmo grip would be a fantastic option. & as you upgrade your cellphone, you essentially get a new camera with it

[cadmus]

I don't know that this was the only review of this camera that matters, but it was a pretty good and thorough review!

[brandonfrancois]

Honestly Jared has the realest reviews, extremely hard and sophisticated and a lot of what he says wouldn’t affect the “regular” shooter, but even so, I think it’s best to know EVERYTHING, to spend money on anything! Great job!

[Nxzim]

I don't know how many review of this same camera I watched... But with this video you touched every part of it ..

[okay]

I had about 7 different notifications from Youtube channels on this camera, which all came in within about 1 minute, obviously timed to sync with the end of a publishing embargo from Sony, and this was the most informative, somehow obnoxious, yet entertaining review. Excellent. Excellent. Jared may be like marmite, you either love or dislike, him, but you cannot argue about the quality of his content, valuable, straight to the point. Well done, Excellent balanced review

[PureGlide]

The worst part, if they had the polarisation in the vertical instead of horizontal it would be even better, because the glasses would block other light but let ALL the screen come through.

[shang-hsien_yang]

It's the first camera which is incompatible with sun glasses

[rtong]

Realest review of this camera, Hats off to Jared!

[ojosenelmonte]

I have tried two units and both of them filtered the noise of the focus motor in the audio of the videos. And I'm not talking about the Zoom, but about the AF. And it's funny because I've seen many reviews and no one talks about this issue.

[jonathan]

suddenly I see 10 videos in my subscription box about the new Sony
