I bought the CHEAPEST Sony Camera | Sony ZV-1F Review 

I have been using this camera for my show for about 2 months now and absolutely love it. Most of my stuff is done in a "studio" setting but I throw it in my bag and carry it with me everywhere I go too. I will be taking some trips soon and will actually be leaving my phone at home and just using this camera for all pictures and video. Now that that have dropped the price to $399, it is a deal.

I already getting one! And I love this pocket camera so much. It's light, easy to use. Pull it out, turns On, and voila, happy vlogging or happy recording!

Very helpful! Appreciate you taking the time to make this ✌🏽

Wow, really awesome camera!

Great video! I'm an owner of the ZV-1 standard and ZV-E10 (Sigma 16mm F1.4) and have been going back and forth on if I'd get the F or another standard ZV-1 to build out my tri-cam interview kit. I think for talking head, this may be another tool to use so long as I can nail positioning. Great examples of scenarios to see just how far you can stretch the capabilities of this sensor.

Solid video - great stuff!

Video results look great!

Thanks for the tips. I’ve been contemplating on if I buy this camera or not and after seen this video I think I’m going to wait because I’m not the most smooth walker and I have the iPhone 13 and my videos are pretty smooth. Thanks!

Great information thanks 💯

Great Video! Im looking for a small, decent camera for theme park videos, and Prime day is around the corner. Keep up the reviews!

The video I’ve been searching for! That movie theater example is the king of environment I needed to see. I’m thinking about getting the ZV-1F to replace my Sony A6000 with 18-105mm lens. Before your brain pops, hear me out… I ONLY use my A6000 to record my “talking head” style RU-vid videos in a very small studio with simple lighting (key, hair, a backlight) and matte black walls. The A6000 does wonderfully but it only records in 1080p and I want to record in 4K. I need a simple camera with 4K capabilities and a manual feature that allows me to tweak everything to achieve the look I’m want. Basically, I want to achieve the same video look I’m getting now but in 4K. That’s it. I’ve tried using my iPhone 13 Mini paired with the Camo app and that setup work okay but it’s not good enough. The black walls and colored lights throws it off. As for why I use a Sony A6000 with a big Sony 18-105mm lens just for RU-vid videos… it was “payment” for doing a logo for a camera company back in 2017. I designed their logo, they paid me with $1000 worth of camera gear (A6000, the big Sony lens, and a 19” Smith Victor ring light). Am I still talking?

the only review we need

I'm shocked at how good it looks in auto with the harsh conditions - this is nice to just whip out when you need it. Insane.

So I did a video showing the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 using the Z7c & ZV-E1 and when selecting vegetation they had a hard time focusing and staying on the subject. I think that Sony should include vegetation focus tracking in their cameras that will be coming out and Maybe, just Maybe they could do a FIRMWARE UPDATE to fix the problem. What do You Think? Cheers!

Great video !

colors and image are gorgeous.

Thx great info

9:35 my guess is the camera keeps changing the aperture in auto mode. If the aperture closes, the background is more in focus without changing the focus of the foreground.

Naruto and Susuke were battling in the background before the vid😂

Thanks you for your video.😊

HI Jacob, I am not sure if someone asked this already, but what camera would you recommend under $700 to record video and also take great pictures. I was considering this ZV-1F but after seeing your video I might have some reservations. If you have any others you would recommend under $700 I would greatly appreciate it.

Nicely done

This video is top tier. MTC children we know what Jacob has done over the weekend.

Thanks for the review- I'm on the fence about getting this camera. do you think it'll be good for talking head videos?

I got one around the same time. I like what I have. The ONLY two additions I did were a neweer add on lens, and I bought a cheap lav mic. And I like what I get.

Planning to buy 😍

Wow truly incredible content

Was watching this on 480p on my smartphone and it looks great, definitely a camera I'd get

great review! it's worth the price i believe.

Great Job

I LOVEEE TOOOO SINNNGGGG

Hoe heet de app die je ervoor kan gebruiken?

Someone :coughs Jacob: BACK OF THE ROOM

I LOOVEEE TO SINGGGG

I do like this camera, but I feel as if I am using a really nice action camera, with out the action camera perks. It almost feels the same weight as an Action 4

I LOOOOVEEE TO SINGGG!! “Im tired” NO

Just bought it before watching anything on it. Got some videos coming up that i wanted better quality than my phone.

would you suggest this camera for Top down Overhead videos? or something else?

Did yours come with a Wrist band to hold the camera better?

How do I get it stable ? It’s really Shaky when I walk

For that money the ZV-1F is a steal. I paid about US$500 for it with the Sony selfie stand/tripod thingy. No regrets, it's great. In fact I bought another!

I looooove tooo singgggg

If the camera was rolling the whole time how long did the battery last? And also does the camera zoom in and out?

Hey, which camera are you using for this video?

I LOVEEE TO SING

Cool beans 🕶️

Can this camera be used for recording a podcast?

i just bought one for a film im doing!

People miss the point as to how good the 1 inch sensor is over cell phone

Do you hear the people sing

Jacob can you ask vivi if I can use the play for a video

Zig zig zaaaaaaa 👋👋🌧️

That fringing is a major issue. Almost all reviews I see there was this slight shakyness in the details.

Hi, I am a hobby stand up comedy artist. Am looking for a portable camera, I find zv 1f in my budget. But I read two things which bother me 1 - hearing issue 2- no long recordings.. Is it true? What are your experience? How long can it go without auto shut down? Thanks
