A Review of the Sony ZV-1 Compact Camera

Sony makes some of the best compact cameras out there, and the ZV-1 is one of their latest and most unique models, with a wide variety of features designed especially for vloggers. This excellent video review takes a look at the ZV-1 and the sort of performance you can expect from it in real-world usage.

Coming to you from Ben Horne, this great video review takes a look at the Sony ZV-1 camera. The ZV-1 was designed by Sony specifically for vloggers (though it has the normal array of compact camera features you would expect from the company). It features a 3-inch flip-out touchscreen, a 20.1-megapixel 1-inch sensor, 315 phase-detection autofocus points, 4K video at 30 or 24 fps with 1.7x oversampling, built-in intervalometer, anti-distortion electronic shutter, wireless connectivity, a 24-70mm (equivalent) f/1.8-2.8 lens, a directional 3-capsule microphone with dedicated windscreen, 3.5mm microphone port and Multi Interface Shoe, built-in image stabilization, built-in ND filter, instant background defocus setting, face exposure priority, skin tone optimization, Soft Skin effect, and lots more. Altogether, the ZV-1 looks like quite a unique camera with a wide array of features for vloggers and normal shooters alike. Check out the video above for Horne's full thoughts.
