A Review of the Vlogger-Friendly Sony ZV-1 Camera

The Sony ZV-1 brings a lot of the company's fantastic compact camera technology and adds a variety of features designed specifically for bloggers. This great video review takes a look at the camera and what you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Maarten Heilbron, this excellent video review takes a look at the Sony ZV-1 camera, which has been designed specfically for bloggers (though it is certainly a capable compact camera on its own). The ZV-1 has a variety of features designed specifically for vloggers, including a flip-out 3-inch touchscreen, a directional 3-capsule microphone with dedicated windscreen, 3.5mm microphone port and Multi Interface Shoe, Product Showcase setting, built-in ND filter and instant background defocus setting, face exposure priority, skin tone optimization, Soft Skin effect, and built-in image stabilization. Alongside those features are a 20.1-megapixel 1-inch sensor with 315 phase-detection autofocus points, a 24-70mm (equivalent) f/1.8-2.8 lens, 4K video at 30 or 24 fps with 1.7x oversampling, wireless connectivity, built-in intervalometer, anti-distortion electronic shutter, and more.

Altogether, the ZV-1 looks to be a capable compact camera in addition to a great tool for vloggers. Have you tried it yet?
