I dropped my Canon G7X into a glass of lemonade at the start of my last 30 day roadrip in my new Corvette C8. So, when I returned, I picked this camera up used for 300 bucks, virtually brand new. Thanks for the great video....liked and subscribed. RAW is not necessary unless you really need to push the limits, Every photo I've sold in the past ten years was edited from JPGs.

The background defocus of the Sony is actually completely different from the iPhones portrait mode. Portrait mode is done on software while the background defocus is a real bokeh from the lens and will look much more natural. It's basically just forcing f2.0 if enabled and can be used on any camera in a similar way.

@Technikzentrale24 Жыл бұрын

Jep, you are absolutely right! Its the Force of F2.0 "whatever it takes". In the ZV1 is the same Mode better, cause of the f.18 aparture. Today the ZV1f is on amazone prime sale for 429 Euro instead of 520. i bought it and now im waiting for tommorrow :-D

for all-around video purpose, i recommend the zv-e10. but i will be saving for this zv-1f for selfie-style and talking-head vlogging since it's smaller and quicker to set-up and use. but for b-rolls, there is a noticeable jittery effect. but for selfie and talking head vlogging, this (zv-1f) i think is the best for the budget (again, not for b-rolls though).

@LindonSlaght 3 ай бұрын

Important distinction, for those shopping these days when the newer iPhones have 48MP sensors - Sensor resolution does not equate to resolved detail. The most a cellphone camera can conceivable resolve is around 20MP, any higher, it's just wasted pixels. The only area it helps is digital zoom where the lack of aliasing helps to extract more detail from a small area of the sensor. Still not a crazy high resolution like it claims to be, but it's better than a straight crop. Dedicated cameras like the ZV1F often have lenses capable of resolving atleast the sensor resolution, possibly more depending on how over engineered it is.

Why Sony removed from this new model the effective stabilization of the Zv-1 and why it removed phase detection, opting only for contrast detection, and finally, why Sony betting on a 20mm fixed lens, got worse your aperture, from f/1.8 that the Zv-1 had to f/2 this Zv-1 F ? Why didn't they set it to an aperture of f/1.4 since it's now a fixed focal length?

It does NOT have a 1 inch sensor. It is 13.2 mm by 8.8 mm. So, a2 + b2 = c2, C being the hypotenuse. Like how tv screens are measured. 13.2 x 13.2 = 174.24. 8.8 x 8.8 = 77.44 174.24 + 77.44 = 251.68 mm square root of 251.68 is 15.86 mm. the hypotenuse. One inch is 25.4 mm, not 15.86 mm I WISH it was a 1 inch sensor. I have this camera. Its great, almost TOO small. Sony website says 1 type. 1 type?? They did not say 1 inch. har har!
