@MinnieOnCam Жыл бұрын

For me it's the price I'm thinking get the Sony ZV-1 since it's more affordable compared to the Sony Zv-1 mark ii, and stabilization is better in Sony Zv-1 as you said.

I think I will finally get the ZV-1 for my wife as a birthday gift. She's not a geek like me that plays with camera 24/7 (sounds wrong lol). On serious side, maybe it's time to get her into filming something. Else I will be the one that film all the time and I am always the camera man behind the scene. ZV-1 it is.

Great video man! Still going to stick with the Sony ZV-1 for a while longer. I do my best to work around the 24mm lens. I enjoy being able to directly plug in the Sony ECM-XYST1M mic with the zv1 using the camera’s built-in hotshot adapter and absolutely love the audio it produces. I often vlog with it in themeparks and the active stabilization works well as I walk around so it’s disappointing the z1mii is a downgrade. I combat the battery issue by just carrying a bunch of charged batteries (they are pretty cheap for the most part). I also use an HLG picture profile 10 (HLG2) and edit final videos in LumaFusion for final HDR. Would be nice if the camera can produce 10-bit video. I’m sure they will continue to make incremental upgrades but agree that they should at least improve the video quality without taking features away. Great videos as always, thanks for the comparison!

I use to own a Canon ixus camera mainly because of its daily digest feature (basically it takes a 3-ish second video everytime I take a photo and stitches the video together at the end of the day). Thought that is the best feature a vlogging camera could have because it basically let me enjoy my travels, take photo, and still have a good enough travel video at the end of the day. I'm not the type to narrate or speak in front of the camera so i was really hoping that something similar would be the innovation sorely missing in the zv series. Guess I'll wait for the next ZV 😅

I'm actually picking up the ZV-1 in a few days. I had it before, then I sold it to get a higher end Sony camera. But, I've decided that I want a b-cam for my FX30. And, to be honest, I don't do a lot of vlogging. But, I want another camera that is inconspicuous and that I can grab and run out the door to get some quick shots. I don't worry about the battery door or tripod mount, because I have always recharged my batteries after each use. Along with carrying extra batteries. And for what I would use the ZV-1 for, I don't see myself running out of memory or power while shooting. And right now, you can get a ZV-1 in excellent condition for under $500 easily.

Great review... I really wish Sony would upgrade things that, MATTER. Why don't these manufacturers ever support 10bit HEVC. They still have old / slow bitrates, bitdepth, and old codec h.264. Makes it harder to use the log profiles. You cannot push the footage as hard... I have to shoot spot on which is hard in run and gun photoshoots... just makes my workflow much more difficult.. I don't see any reason to upgrade only to have same image quality my old one has... with only an upgraded microphone and wider shot... actually I carry a gopro for the wide shots, and use the ZV1 for broll so bit unnecessary to have the wider lens in my workflow. Hard to tell from review if there's much noise in the microphone. All my a6400 and ZV1 have terrible audio capture... too much noise / hiss in the recording. Additionally, I totally agree, the stabilization leaves a lot to be desired. I like that it's in body / hardware... but I think they should do a little more crop and implement a hybrid system w/ software and hardware stabilization. Would be AWESOME. I absolutely LOVE the stabilization GoPro did... why can they not do something as good? Additionally, voice controls would be great too... There's so much they could do to update these but they just keep selling same old stuff with different packaging and buttons. Silly in my opinion. One last grip... let us set shutter angle. Don't drop to 1/30 second on video when setting to auto ISO and shutter... and built in ND that does more than just 1 stop.

Great video! The ZV-1 Mark II look to be more of a downgrade instead of an upgrade. The lack of OIS definitely ruined the camera for me. I am going to get the ZV-1 Mark I instead, since it is a more capable camera specs wise. The ZV-1 Mark I is light years better than the Mark II in my opinion. I am looking forward to what the ZV-1 Mark III will offer. I do really hope that Sony will bring back the OIS and the other features that have been removed (for no good reason) back into the ZV-1 Mark III.

I came for a comparison, and you did not disappoint. Smaller is better but I will stick with my iPhone unless I am needing the bigger rigs. Audio on the other hand is always a challenge. I almost am thinking of getting the Zoom F2 or F3. Just need to rely on it.

@kiez_insider Жыл бұрын

I personally prefer the look of the ZV-1 so much more then the HDR oversharpen and over contrast look from an iPhone. It look so much more natural and fits into almost every pocket... I have pro cameras, but the ZV-1 is still my favourite, because it's always with me. And if you have a small mic on top, like the mke 200 from sennheiser or the ecm-g1 you have way better audio then an iPhone.

@@kiez_insider some good points. To be fair to my response, I am in the market to replace my Canon M50mii which is only used once or twice per week as a webcam. I am considering doing some vlogging and thought perhaps the ZV-1 or ZV-E10 might be a good fit. I need a b-cam to my A7Siii. Have even been considering saving just a bit more to get the FX30. So many choices.

@kiez_insider Жыл бұрын

@@MindfulGrinds If you have the money, I would go with the fx30, because it has a fan, way better IBIS and better rolling shutter. I own the Zv-1 and ZV-E10 and tested the FX30 when it got released. The ZV-E10 is a great Studio Camera and great for photos on the go, but because of the horrible rolling shutter it‘s not a good vlogging cam in my opinion. But it is a great webcam also. The Z-V1 is an okay webcam, but in my opinion the best vlogging cam, because it‘s so small and light and for its size it has a superb quality. But the FX30 is a beast, ownly downside it can be quite noisy in low light. But with the 11mm 1.8 in combination it is great :)

@kiez_insider Жыл бұрын

@@MindfulGrinds the ZV-1 has its downsides too, the focal length is not really wide, but with the selfie stick from sony, it‘s really okay. And I use it often in Standard stabilization. It‘s not great, but better as the ZV-E10. Fuji just released the X-S20 with 4K60, 6K open gate 10bit for just 1300 Dollar, could be worth a look too. But the rolling shutter looked a lot like from the ZV-E10… So if I would have the money, I would get the FX30

@kiez_insider Жыл бұрын

One addition, you can get the ZV-1 in retail for under 350 bucks at the moment. That‘s why if I would be on a budget and want to shoot video, not vlogs, I would choose the ZV-1 over the ZV-E10 unless you got a small gimbal, but the rolling shutter will stay bad even with a gimbal

Was holding off on buying a ZV-1 to see what the M2 was about. I want a compact travel camera that is lighter and attracts less attention than my A7SIII. Sooo no OIS, a stop less light (f4) and $150 more?! Um yeah - hard pass. Gonna order the original ZV-1 instead. Thanks for the honest review.

@fleurvdelft Жыл бұрын

if it's for travel - aren't the easier charging capabilities (usb-c/more accessible battery door) quite important? the OIS in the ZV-1 wasn't all that great anyways, there's an extra stop for the built in ND filter as well so can shoot with a more pleasing shutter speed in brighter conditions -- they def compromised on some features but for travel would say they've made it better?

@RichardIII_YT Жыл бұрын

@@fleurvdelft I’d say having the extra 20mm reach of 50-70mm is probably more useful for a travel camera. The fact that Sony just dropped the price and the original ZV-1 is now $200 cheaper makes this a no-brainer for me. Original ZV-1 for sure.
