This is one of the better review of this camera that I've seen. Thank you for producing this.

Thanks for video

[christiankeil]

Not wide enough with the handgrip. Nice video, very informative

[labohemeonline]

Such a helpful tutorial! Thanks a million!!!

[saraalavi]

One of the best help videos! Thank you so much! So I have my camera all set up now. I have it hooked to wireless mics, too and my lighting is ready to go! Did a few videos but, not sure it has been any improvement to my old system.😉 do you think maybe my setting are not correct? Thank you again.

Hi, I'm a total photography beginner. I love mountain hiking and have been taking quite crappy photos with my phone. I'd love to step up my game and get into photography. I'm interested mostly in getting cool HDR shots and panoramas (both with a wide angle and the panorama feature in the camera). I wonder if this ZV1 is way more than enough for me, or should I consider the RX100. I'm not that interested in video (maybe some panorama pan shots). Something to consider is I do very technical trails so something that doesn't cost too much would probably put my mind more at ease. But the focus of the ZV1 on vlogging makes me kinda dubious.

Absolutely nice review technical and I learned a lot. I have few questions for you:
I am not a vlogger - I use the camera to do street footage or when drones are not allowed. Do I need a stabilization crane (I have the hohem) and what are the best settings for 4K video? Should I use the intelligent mode? Thanks in advance for your answers. Tony

Hey I was looking and not sure if I missed your review of the new Sony ZV-E10 or you haven't done one yet.

[saraalavi]

I got my harddrive working!!! Thank you again for your very helpful suggestion!

Mr. Jay! Please, tell me, why is my camera screen not showing the view on the screen when I am recording now?! The screen goes dark when I click record! Thank you!!!!

[saraalavi]

Hello Jay! I still love mine. Thank you for your encouragements and help!
Question please: want to transfer my video from my sony to my macbook. I hooked them up with a cord and I managed to livate the video! I clicked save…… after an hour it said my macbook does has have enough memory!🥺 any suggestions? Any other ways?!! Million thank yous.🙏🏽

Thanks for the great review. Recently I received one of them as a birthday present but unfortunately my Japanese friend didn't attention that the menu of the camera is in Japanese language ( there is no English or other languages to change in the ''set up '' which you kindly explained about it.) I want to know is there any way to add English language to the menu or not 🙏

Is the zoom range a bit short for normal travel use ?

[wardn]

Hello, I cam across your videos. I am looking for a Sony for slow motion recording (HD at 240 fps) at around $1000. Do you have any suggestions or recommend specific videos to watch?

[Mehreen_Asif]

I am brand new to camera stuff..please guide, so the sony zv1 comes in 24 mm to 70 mm..I want it fo expand to 18 mm to 100mm or 130 mm as I want to shoot close up one eye make up tutorial.Can you guide how I can do that.Can I use neewer 18 mm wide lense that comes with macro lense to record at 100 mm without bringing the camera super close to my face ?

[keonniaqualyn]

For vlogs/YouTube videos should I use the file format on 4K at 30p 60m? I also want to incorporate slow motion videos so 120 would be best?

[Filipinoislamicrevival]

Hi I’m always wondering what camera you’re using right now when you vlog this video.

[feryfrost]

Do you think the ZV1 would be good as a Studio camera (not vlogging) for a youtube beginner? I plan to start a review channel but my budget is too tight

[geoffallen]

I’m a Mac user and it seems crazy that it requires an old OS for live streaming firmware update, doesn’t support anything beyond Big Sur? Do I have that right?

[saraalavi]

Mr Jay! Here is my problem!🤓
It says to start USB STREAMING, unplug the USB CABLE. Execute USB streaming before connecting to USB cable. ( do t kniw what that means!)
