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

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

I bought this to help my mother start her YouTube cooking channel Mrs. Lynn's cooking and this camera has made everything so easy the picture quality is great and it's super easy to use

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

I am a Fashion and Beauty Content Creator who purchased the original ZV-1 (24-70mm lens) in 2020. It served me well but I wanted a true touch screen rather than having to press menu buttons to make setting changes. Slow roll to 2023 and here comes the Sony ZV-1 II Vlog Camera. This review is my personal experience of this camera as a fashion and beauty content creator and not trying to a do a deep dive tech review.Sony updated the lens of the ZV1-II to an ultra-wide 18-50mm lens. This is better for vloggers who want to get more of their background in their scenes.This version finally has a true touch screen.The ZV1-II audio has improved. Sony added the ability to choose the direction of the sound recording based upon where the sound is coming from: front, rear and or directions.Sony also changed the weirdness of the original ZV-1's battery door that was BLOCKED when a tripod was attached by moving the ZV1-II'S tripod mount to the SIDE. It looks awkward but solves the problem.I use this camera to livestream. Livestreaming is more convenient with the ZV1-II thanks to the addition of the USB-C port. When I connect the camera to my computer, the ZV1-II is detected without having to fumble through menu settings.The CONSIn the ZV-1 II, Sony TOOK AWAY Optical Steadyshot which could equate to bouncy vlog shots.Sony did NOT include a USC-C cable with this camera. Come on, Sony! This should have been included. There is also no charger AC charger block.Overall, this IS a great camera but if you own the original ZV-1, decide if the changes are enough to justify the increased price tag.

This is a great camera for the price. It has a lot of features for its size and price point. It is a bit limited on wide angle shots, but that is to be expected with an all-in-one camera. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The corresponding App is useful, a bit clunky, but still better than not having it.

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.

Upgrading from my ZV1 and really love this camera. the menu is very easy to understand I also like the I didnt have to purchase another cable in order to charge it I use my iPhone charging cable and it works great. at first had some heating problem but found a YouTube video that solved that problem. Worth the price

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