Took a leap of faith by recording all the audio for this review internally on the ZV1M2 - I actually was hoping it would sound even better than this. Could definitely still benefit from an external mic!
Definitely an upgrade, I have the ZV1 and bought the ZV1 ii. The microphone on these is amazing for a build in mike and the wind muff works better than most muffs on external microphones. I bet you had product showcase turned on when it focused on the steering wheel.
The reality is that when u’re shooting for broadcast and you only have 10hrs in the day, u’d be shooting a lot of things in auto. Fast turnaround shows (reality, edumentaries, etc) require this. If you don’t then you will overrun.
Nice review and thanks for your insight! This is definitely a good overall package for those wanting to get into documenting their lives on video without having to use a larger cumbersome mirrorless camera and mic but also want to upgrade from their phones. The sound was ok I think, would be cool if it could be paired with the ECM-M1.
