SonyZV-1 II Vlog Camera for Content Creators and Vloggers - White

Really great point and shoot with a focal length that takes great selfies! I love that it’s just wide enough to capture selfies at arms length and the Intelligent (auto) works perfectly, especially when letting others take pictures of me or friends. I personally haven’t used it for vlogging too much but the sound it captures and FPS are fine.Pros:- good battery life (shooting all day or over a couple days without charging- love the smooth skin option! My skin has been breaking out like crazy but the smooth effect gave me confidence again- focal length again!! 18mm is usually what most kit lenses are on DSLRs so I appreciated the wider length with limited distortion- makes taking pictures with friends easy with the screen pulled out and everyone can get in the photo with the focal length- super light and portable! I just slip it into my jacket pocket or purse!Cons:- The UI takes a little getting used to. Coming from Canon/Fuji, I’m still learning from Youtube videos and the manual- Depending on your settings, some functions may not be usable. For example, if you aren’t in Single Shooting mode, you can’t use the face smoothing effect. Intelligent mode is essentially Auto which also means autoWB!- The focusing could be better. Check for sharpness before you capture your pics! Didn’t have a problem with the focus for recording video there so that’s actually a plus there

I’m satisfied with it. The colors are beautiful, and the camera has a great vibe. Speed is good, it is worth to purchase it. Little bit hard to use at first time, you need to look up how to use it. Easy to carry, you can adjust brightness

No other complaints besides the fact you can't use it unless you already have a USB C charger ready. If I'm paying almost a grand for this camera, the least they could do is include a brick and cable.Update: I'm still mad there's no cable, but after using this for so long it's really a good camera. Came in handy so many times. It really does take beautiful photos, definitely watch some tips in photography if this is your first time owning a camera and you'll get the hang of it

This is great as an inexpensive way to get fantastic footage that exceeds a webcam!

Just as the title says. Very beautiful camera and great picture and video quality. Good for fun and semi professional if you’re starting out. Battery life wasn’t the best and would need to be switched out. Overheating was also quite common.

I gave the Sony ZV-1 II camera two chances, but unfortunately, it just didn't meet my expectations either time. For still photos, the image quality consistently fell short, leaving much to be desired. While the video capabilities were decent, the audio quality was a significant letdown, failing to capture clear and crisp sound.Given my experience, I would highly recommend looking into Canon cameras as an alternative. They tend to offer a more well-rounded performance for both stills and video, with better audio capabilities right out of the box. The Sony ZV-1 II might be positioned as a vlogging camera, but for overall performance, there are better options on the market.

The Sony ZV-1 II Vlog Camera is a standout choice for content creators and vloggers, offering an impressive set of features in a compact and stylish design. The camera continues to have all of the successful attributes of its previous version (ZV-1), and introduces notable improvements!

I bought this camera after doing careful research for a week, and yet none of the reviews mentioned two MASSIVE flaws.1) The battery doesn't last even an hour recording video and will die in the middle of whatever you're doing, unless you can keep it plugged into a powersource.2) MUCH WORSE, and why I'm going to sell it and get something else, I just had it shut down due to overheating, after about 40 minutes recording video in a room that was probably around 60 degrees faranheit!Overheating? What is this, a car or something? When I look online I see video saying that you need to by a separate FAN to blow on the camera to keep it from overheating if you're recording video in high resolution??? So this camera fails at one of it's most basic functions? WTH?? What a massive waste of time and money I've put into this craptastic little device.
