Sony ZV1 for Street photography in Vancouver | Is it still a good camera 2024? Camera Review 

I have Fuji and Sony cameras, but I pick up my ZV1 the most by far. It’s a great blend of quality and convenience.

Just found your channel because I was looking at the ZV-1 for street - great shots! Best of luck with your art!

Wow, I am also surprised how this camera turned out so great as a photography camera. Your pictures are outstanding, good luck!

Fantastic photos! Great video!

Nice video and good advice! Good luck on your journey and with your travels!

Nice video. I did enjoy it. Thanks.

The reasons I love my Sony ZV1 so much is the superb auto focus!! It simply doesn't hunt and fish for correct focus. It's fast and accurate! I see so many RU-vid videos where the camera is constantly trying to get good focus...Back and forth it hunts. Not this ZV1. Many say Sony has the very best auto focus on the market right now. I also love the articulating screen. I'm 67 years old and been taking photos since I was 13. I used to think I had to have an electronic viewfinder because I had viewfinders on camera growing up. Years ago, I laughed when camera makers left off the viewfinder and just had a screen on the back. But!... This screen of so damn clear and bright, especially if you adjust the brightness control in the menu... It has a sunny day setting that makes it VERY BRIGHT! With the way I can adjust this screen to ANY angle I want, it makes shooting from lower perspectives easier, more stealth, and opens up new thinking. I can angle it straight at my eyes no matter where I have the camera! Imagine doing street and having the camera by your side walking down the street. Leave it on 24mm f1.8 and set shooting mode to continuous. Walk down the street looking at the viewfinder by your side, very stealthy, and shoot multiple images rapid fire and you'll end up being much more successful because you'll have so many more photos to choose from. Getting you that awesome shot! With digital, we never have to worry about how much film we are using, so shoot away, and choose the best from many... And not just "hope" you got one single image to come out like you wanted. Odds are much more in your favor if you have many photos to choose from of the same scene or person. Get extra batteries to carry with you and a big sd card to hold them all! I also really like all of the many, many options this camera has. You can literally set it to any way you can possibly imagine! Biggest benefit of having all these features is the complete programability to place your favorite features onto whatever key you want on the cameras body, but also wherever you want in the Fn (function) menu, accessible from the Fn button on the back. You can really load up those features because those menus have all sorts of button to place them on. Awesome! There are all sorts of great features on this camera... Too many to list here, but that's what makes it so incredible to use! Once you learn it, you'll find it has most of the features of many pro cameras bodies costing over $2000 bucks! Sure, not every single one, but all you'll ever need! Next great thing is simple: Pocketable. It's so small, but mighty, it allows for real creativity, but you can take it everywhere you go! I literally have it with me whenever I leave the house... Right in my pocket! Sure, cellphones have nice snap shot camera now a days. But the lenses are very limited, the low light capabilities suck, the sensor is tiny, and they're more a toy than a serious camera. Not a serious photographers camera, that's for sure. So this ZV1 gives you the pocketable feature of a cellphone, with the great capabilities and gorgeous sharpeness, even at f1.8, of a very serious pro camera! It's kinda unique. 💯😎🤘

Hi girl! Came over from Elise’s channel! Loved this! Excited to launch my RU-vid channel soon too! Thanks for the camera tips! I used to have a photographer business and got burned out but would love to do it for fun again. My favorite has always been street photography!

Hello from Salt Spring. I love my ZV1 💜

chantal, your vibe is dope ! would really appreciate if you could tell us more about taking product photography with that little monster, cheers and wish you truckloads & containers of success👊

6:45 really good photo there :) !! I got the ZV1 this year, happy with it too.

Hi, I’m from a little town called Leiden in the Netherlands ✋🏻👍🏻 I like interested in landscape photography. Have been for a while but never got to it. So this sony camera could be my next purchase 🙂

Thanks for sharing your street photos. I enjoyed seeing them. To answer your questions at the end. I am a Brit living in rural California. I've done some street in San Francisco, San Leandro and elsewhere. Would like to visit Japan, Nepal...

great photos!

Great photos! I just bought ZV1, can't wait to try it out

I just got this camera and I love it. Do you shoot in raw? May I ask, how do you get such vivid colors?

Hi from Bogotá!! Love your video, I just pick up the zv1 for video but now I wanna shot streets too. I would love to shot pictures in the moon! 🍊

The karen story was hilarious!

Made it to the end of the video! Im from the Okanagan Valley, would love travel to a large city like NYC for street photography. I shoot with a Fuji X-E3, but was kind of curious in getting this for street since the have the brains of the RX100VII but have the lens and sensor of the RX100VA. Thanks for sharing this video and your art; super helpful! Hope your journey is going well!

Nice! These look pretty good. Has a slight filmic look. Are these straight off the camera or edited? Thanks

I found you on Elise Buch channel and love your content

Did you post edit your photos shown in this video? Great video btw

Your room is super cute

I’d love to go to Japan too. Also Morocco and Hong Kong

Living in Taiwan - have ZV1

does this pictures edited.? but anyways nice photos

You can do very good street photography even with an iPhone Pro, with Sony camera it should be spectacular!

lol I've never had Karen encounters doing street yet but I guess it's always bound to happen. How is it using the ZV1 6 months after? do you use it alot for videos cause I heard it has a pretty bad rolling shutter.

Colors at the beginning when you were in the car are dull and flat ... almost as if you were using another camera altogether. The rest is fine.

Never use the public space "excuse". It's true but it doesn't work with many people. Flatter them, that works. Talk to them if they look aggressive, make them vain. My2cents

only in vancouver

I’m not sure if this is a concern and I don’t wanna be a Karen but maybe posting photos of ppls faces online might be a bit odd. Here’s a cautionary tale, once there was this family I knew of a single mom and her son (my friend) and she’d managed to get away from her very abusive husband (beating her within inches of death) and a news station went and took photos of a playground at the school and he was in the photo! The husband saw the photo tracked them down and killed his mom :( I really love the work you’re doing but maybe be careful yk (tell me if I’m coming off rude I’m just idk scared because of that experience) have a great day bestieeee

What is the max shutter speed for photography? There is mechanical shutter so does that mean the shutter speed is limited by scan rate?
