Pocket 3 smashed them to bits :) I think I should check out that camera, wasn't expecting that.

Vic. Again, you are the voice of reason. Thanks. Great vid.

Hi Vic what do you recommend for a beginner who wants to primarily take photos cheers

[iancraig]

Nice one, Vic. I really enjoyed this with its humour and lack of worry about how you look and camera setting. The real life world of ‘auto’ indeed!! This really shows beginners what to expect when they first get their cameras instead of those glossed up, LUT laden videos that we see so often these days on YouTube. Many thanks. Loved it!! It shows the power of good content ……

Did you use dynamic stabilization in Sony zv-e1?

[jackpast]

Great video, Vic. It has always been the story…the content. Btw, my Pocket 3 lens hits its’ mount when turning off with both DJI or Freewell ND filter on. Not using them now when I vlog while moving.

What tripod do you have the zv-e1 on? Looks sleek.

Pocket 3 for the WIN! The audio out of the ZV-E1/GP12 was terrible. Image quality, stabilization, price, form factor, ease of use - Pocket 3 all the way. I have many thousands tied up in expensive gear yet Pocket 3 is my most used camera by a wide margin.

hello, great video, I have a strange problem with the gopro 12, when it is in 4k 60 f HDR, the stabilization stops and after that the image freezes and the seconds still go by and the latest version is 2.20

[wakeywarrior]

The Pocket 3 is a great camera, but just sticking the ZVE1 on aperture priority, and switching on active stabilisation, would have put that way ahead. Appreciate the point though if you just leave a camera on total auto, buy a Pocket 3. But few people would buy a £2000 camera plus lens without just putting it on aperture priority.

Ha-ha... Very nice video - again 👍 --- Your are complety right --- Who really cares about camera brand 😀

[OrrWeisbergReviews]

Something was definently set up wrong with thr zv-e1, and i could tell the apperature was way closed for some reason lol
