Pros:
- Class-leading autofocus
- Bright lens for lovely video bokeh
- Hotshoe and 3.5mm mic port
- Side-flipping screen ideal for video
- Fits in your pocket
Cons:
- Average video stabilization
- Touchscreen still very limited
- Micro USB rather than USB-C

Sony ZV-1 Digital Camera ZV1 review
Some might dismiss the ZV-1 as yet another Sony RX100 variant, but it’s much more than that. The sensor and lens might be familiar, but the body, the controls, the audio and the rear screen are all new and different and optimised brilliantly for vlogging.
Pros:
- Vari-angle rear screen
- Clip on wind shield
- Brilliantly fast AF
Cons:
- Minimum focus distance changes with zoom
- Stabilization seems pretty jerky
- Why a 3:2 screen and not 16:9?

Sony ZV-1 Digital Camera ZV1 review
When we 1st started TGSB’s blog/YouTube channel, we only had a Canon PowerShot point-and-shoot camera. And haven’t really used one ever since. A few weeks back, we got the opportunity to review Sony’s latest point-and-shoot camera targeted to vloggers & content creators: the ZV-1.

The Sony ZV-1 is a beginner-friendly camera perfect for on the go shooting and vlogging. While some of the features are borderline gimmicks, the core vlogging features are solid.

If you’re looking for a compact all-in-one vlogging camera, then look no further than the Sony ZV-1. While the device might not be up to scratch for indoor filming, it’s an absolute beast when taken outside, thanks to its unbelievable mic quality and precise autofocus.
