Which two cameras would you like to see compared next?

One feature that I think wasn't mentioned is that with the design of the ZV-1F the placement of the head mount where you could attach a selfie stick or tripod is not in the way of the battery compartment like it is in the ZV-1. It's a small detail, but I think it's important to add.

You have facial features for a Hollywood actor.

Just got my zv1 a few days ago and was kind of scared that I might regret getting it now😂 glad I got the zv1 tho, thanks for the review!

Nice comparison. Wish they had kept the internal ND and same focus system but so far I’m enjoying the zv1F for vlogging.

Thanks a lot for clearing doubts in my mind! Just got my zv1f from Australia, and now I can use it confidently!

Thank you for the straight to the point comparison between the 2 camera models. It really helped. Just subscribed. Thanks mate!

Your talking head shot is so clean! Great job

Really great comparison, thank you! I shoot almost all of my vlogs on the ZV-1 and have been hoping for an update offering the ability for a wider shot. Shame about the lack of ND as I think having one built in is a real must. For me, the flexibility of having the ability to zoom and the ND is better - but here's hoping a ZV-2 is on the cards with something like a 16-70mm lens!

Thanks buddy! this is amazing news! it is very convenient to have an action camera in the format and accessories of the main camera! Wonderful !

I don't look at this as a fail at all, it's intended for vloggers or someone just starting a KZfaq channel that wants to upgrade from a smartphone and use the features like product showcase, background blur, slow mo etc.. It's a lot cheaper then the zv1 so it's a good option for a beginner and getting used to Sony's menu system

one important advantage of the new version is easier handling with a gimbal. With the old one, if you zoom it messes with the gimbal balance! On a different topic, I found myself using the built in ND filter a lot. So now I'm having a second thought about the new version

Thanks for this. Was skeptical about zv1f because I do travel vlogging, but you have given me much to think about.

Your quality is so good looks like a movie. Great video!

Cheers for the review mate! Thinking of getting a couple as fixed cameras for KZfaq tutorials!

I got the Sony zv 1 and ever since I been binge watching all your content for this cam and even considering actually doing some photography 😅

I love my small ZV1 especially for holidays 😍 it is a perfect bts cam for FX6 filming

I’ve been conflicted between these 2 cameras and I’m still unsure but this video definitely helped me understand a lot better what similarities and differences they have ❤ thank you for the video!

Estaba esperando por este review 🤎

Thanks for the awesome content! I have learned a lot in a very short amount of time!

Nice video, great comparison, thank you. Very useful 🙏🏼

I have the zv1 and there aren’t huge comparisons so I Will keep it until they release something better. I also haven’t gotten much use out of into besides testing it out. This was a great video.

amazing review thank you so much for sharing have been contemplating both of them and need to choose one hopefully will chose one soon ❤❤❤

Very nice and positive commentary on both cameras. I’m glad you placed the ZV E10 in the hierarchy of Sony vlogging cameras.

Excellent comparison video. The price point for the ZV-1F is perfect for its target demographic. I just sold my A7iv to get the FX30 because I want my camera(s) to be primarily for film and video. But, if I do choose to get a camera for simple vlogging or KZfaq, I think the ZV-1F is more appropriate. I don't do much photography, so the money you save on the ZV-1F is great. Just as I think the FX-30 is a game changer for filmmakers, the ZV-1F is a huge step towards bringing more people to content creation. Sony is making very smart moves with the FX-30 and ZV-1F. Whereas Canon is shooting themselves in the foot by blocking 3rd party lenses from being a choice for their cameras. Great content, as usual.

Great to see Sony sent you a new camera model for review!! That means you are under Sony’s radar! Congrats!!!

Very conflicted.. but i think I'll keep the zv1. The focal length is very tempting, and the lens not extending as far is too. Don't need the zoom. But usb-c... It's the future. On the other hand the nd, raw, and smaller dimensions make me still likely to choose the og.

I use the zv1 with an attachment lens at it slaps. plus the built in ND filter.. I think the zv1 still takes the cake.

Awesome comparo! The threaded barrel is great, mic in is a must. But I think this camera would be a bigger hit if it was $75 less, or included the shooting grip commander for the price.

Thanks for the comparison!

Thank you so much for this review!! I am going to get the ZV-1F because my focus is on interesting verbal or action content rather than looking good and capturing cinematic things. Thanks heaps!! :)

9:13 That's legit the entrance to my house haha What are the chances.

Thank you for the better understanding on both camera. Watching from Marudi Sarawak

Love your content 👍🏿

I can always count on you! You help me so much❤️ when I buy myself a new camera 📸 I want to make video’s just as good as yours 🤩😇 YOU ARE AWSOME 🙏 never change

thanks for the update. im just bought my zv1 about 4 months. im happy with it. if im upgrade i will go for zv-e10.😍😍

Dude! Great video, after watching your video I'm going to get the 1F... much appreciated!

Hey! New subscriber here 👋 Thank you for being so detailed about these Sony models. I do have a question regarding audio input, specifically what you described around 8:30 mark; Since there is no available audio interference playback compatibility, I'm thinking of buying a secondary microphone in order to achieve that capability. And perhaps when editing content I can just stack the audio from the external microphone over the visuals. Because as you said, nobody wants to film amazing footage to come home and find out there is no audio whatsoever. I would love a recommendation or perhaps a link to one of your vids that go over that topic if you have any. I am a huge audio head, I do music production at the moment and use the Scarlett 2i2 audio interface with my computer. Would like to have the same, or relatively close, quality as that while filming on the ZV-1F whether it is the attachable Sony boom mic or a stand alone microphone. To summarize, I want to hear the audio as I am filming. Thank you!!

Love this channel!

Hmm was thinking about upgrading from zv1 to zv1f but then after watching your review it doesn't really seem like an upgrade especially if I do some photography.

Thx you...I think I will stick to the zv1 and if I will buy another camera for my wife..it will be ZV1 white stormtrooper colour...but the zv1 F might help encourage more people to get into KZfaq...so that would be nice due to its lesser price tag...

I can't believe you liked the old menu system. It was universally panned, and it was the main reason I didn't keep my ZV1

great video !

Very cool, but I think the f/1.8 and the built-in ND will keep me faithful to ZV-1.

Well done, man. Thanks!

Wow, what an awesome review/ explanation ❤

I like this guy.the way he is talking is superb and clear..also want to know which camera ur using for this video and I can’t see any mic.can u explain about ur setup please ❤

Great review. Thank you!

Thanks for this great, informative video. Im a beginner and willstick with my zv-1f. :)

I don't know if I represent a large segment of the vlogging community, but neither of these cameras comes close to meeting my needs. I was so disappointed in both of them (as I have been with all cameras that are marketed as vlogging cameras). Simply put, the field of view of the lenses isn't nearly wide enough. I was initially excited to learn that the ZV-1F was going to have a 20mm lens. THAT is just barely wide enough to be usable. However, as you pointed out, turning on the Active Stabilization crops in dramatically to make it a 25mm lens. And that is far too tight for filming yourself while walking around. In any event, the stabilization is not nearly good enough anyway. The video you get from these cameras is jittery and shaky when you hold the camera in front of you and walk around. The only way to get usable video is to mount the camera on a gimbal. And that completely negates the whole point of the camera, which was to be small and light enough to carry around on a selfie-stick. On top of the narrow field of view and the poor stabilization, they made the ridiculous decision to remove phase detection autofocus from the 1F. It has been over a decade since vlogging became a thing, and camera companies still don't realize that a vlogging camera requires a simple and basic set of features: 1) a lens with a wide field of view 2) excellent stabilization 3) excellent autofocus 4) microphone jack 5) relatively small and lightweight And that's pretty much it. Just those five things. And not a single camera company has managed to produce a camera like that yet. They all lack one or two of those key features. Sony seems obsessed with audio. They think vloggers only need better built-in microphones and they ignore all the other features. Yet, if they talked to just one of us, they'd realize that we don't care about the built-in mics. We all use external mics anyway. It doesn't matter how good or bad the built-on mics are. We don't use them. And every time one of these big camera companies releases their newest and greatest "vlogging" camera, all they've done is taken an older camera and REMOVED one of the important vlogging features, such as Sony actually removing phase detection autofocus from the 1F. I don't know why they think that removing an important vlogging feature is the way to make a vlogging camera. But they do it every time. Give me ten minutes over a cup of coffee, and I could give you a list of the essential features a vlogging camera requires. Such a camera would take the industry by storm. But all the major companies have had years and years and years to do it, and none of them have come close. Canon had a chance to get it right with the G7X III. With the G7X III, they finally added a microphone jack. But what did they do? They still insisted on using contrast-detect autofocus, AND they made the autofocus in the Mark 3 significantly worse than in the Mark 2. They completely blew it. And Sony was onto something with the RX100 VII. They were so close to making a good vlogging camera with the RX100 VII. But instead of making that camera better, they reversed course and completely blew it with the EV-1 and now the EV-1F. I don't think Sony or any of the big camera manufacturers understand the vlogging market at all.

I just browse to the comments and roughly know already...so pro. Thanks.

Yay! I get to keep my (still within return period) White ZV1 that I only paid $650 for! Not being to zoom in is a deal breaker!

Great video! I bought the ZV1 about a year ago and haven't even used it yet because the settings are too overwhelming. Lol! I'm NOT a tech guy and struggle with stuff like that. I wish that there was a course on just how to use the camera.

Great video for the comparison. I am just doing an impulse by on a camera that I should look good while taking photos and Not use my phone all the time which drains battery and fills up my memory

Thank you for the comparison video! What are your thoughts of using either ZV1's vs Gopro for vlogging? I've been using a mix of both A6500 and Gopro for the time being but wanted to use one for B-Cam.

Thanks, very helpful.

Great video Jo! Thanks 🙂

I am seriously considering using one of these cameras to replace a camcorders i use for filming long podcast....but i am afraid of the video record limits typically associated with cameras like this. I know it can be "dissabled but i would hate for it to fail regardless. I shoot those podcasts in 1080p at 60fps. Will these cameras record over an hour if that is the image quality selected instead of 4k, Additionally, can they be used when plugged in? sorry to pepper you with questions. Very much appreciate your content

thanks for the usefu review!

Thank you for a very detailed video.

Sticking with the ZV-1

Hey mate, when you uploaded the film you made with the Sony zv1, did you use a computer with a special graphics card or did you use a computer with an average low performance graphics card?

I really appreciate this video Can you please specify which camera you used for this video recording 🙏

This is gonna hit the clearance rack by the holidays

I was interested in this “successor” until I heard 20mm prime. With an ILCE I am good using prime lenses, as I can change lenses. The new fully functional touchscreen is nice, but no reason to jump ship from my ZV-1.

Wonderful review... Does the ZV-1 have a good Active Tracker so it tracks you where you go? thanks.

Thank you for this video, would you mind telling me what camera did you use for this content ?

This video was very informative! Thank you :) I just got the Sony ZV-1F so I'm hoping it will really help increase the quality of my content lol

"In post" means in post-production, which means editing the photo or video in an editor after it is captured.

I'm still very happy with my zv-1 after 2 years. Maybe if I ever get the money I will buy the zv-1f for a 2nd cam. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the info and insights! I’m curious what the alleged Osmo Pocket 3 will bring

Would you recommend the Zv1F or the zv-E10? I want tot use it for my fishing channel to vlog and make photos with it

Which of the two cameras did you use to film this video?

I am just planning on using the camera to take photos and not much vlogging. Which camera do you recommend for that?

Great video! I use my ZV-1 for top down shots, but not for vlogging because 24mm isn't wide enough. I'd love to switch to this for the 20mm lens, but digital zoom doesn't look good from what i've seen so far, so I don't think itll be good for top down (I have to zoom a little bit and since the ZV-1f is wider, ill have to zoom more than usual for framing). Do you think the digital zoom looks bad? Can't decide what to do haha

Which one should I buy Zv1 or zv1f For my travel vlog

Very indepth, getting the ZV 1F now

hi i just want a camera just for nice photo that’s all when i go out, im not a photographer or a blogger do you recommend the zv-1f?

I bought the zv1 and got it at a deal & I’m glad I did. This looks nice but nothing making me regret the ZV1. For me, having a built in ND filter + raw is more important than a wider lens. And no zoom? That seems like a deal breaker.

what camera did you use to shoot this video?

Thanks for the video! Which camera do you recommend between the Sony ZV1 and the Sony ZV 1F for videos on KZfaq where I play the guitar and for some holiday photos?

Vlogger newbie here, Did you say the ZV-1F may be better for outside? If I want to Pan out?

I got really sad an hour ago when I got an email the next version is out and I still don't have any content live that I made with my ZV-1.. Happy to know it's not an upgrade. I still need a DJI mic or something tho..

Is there a better camera alternative that does have a mic port for KZfaq videos?

I have hoped to see a comparison (footage side by side).

I've been seeing that you can add additional ND filters to the Zv-1, as well as a wide angle adapter. The zv-1 also has some picture styles that the zv-1f doesn't have.

Would it work for gym content or camera you recommend I have old camera canon eos 100 but can’t shoot 4k

Is the newer sensor of the ZV-1 little bit better concerning picture quality / noise (Raw-files) than an 9 year old Rx100 III ? Autofocus should be much better I guess but I wonder abould picture quality.

Thanks for this! Are these cameras good for both photography and vlogging? Or is it recommended that I purchase two separate cameras?

I am using the zv1f, with Ecamm how do I turn off the display stuff on my camera Ecamm records the entire screen so its picking up the 1/125 f2.0 ISO 200

The audio straight out of the camera is probably the best on-board mic I've used. It also works well with my Sony radio mic and lav

thanks for this review, it's super helpful. How would you compare those 2 Sony cameras to the GH5? GH5s can be had now at a decent price, it's an older camera but vloggers used it for years and swore by it. Thoughts?

What was this video shot on?

Great comparison. In between both of them which you recommend for cooking videos

I'm going for the zv1f because of the price,seam to me the features are better than the zv1f.

Nice info coach. But I’ll stick to the ZV-1 because it does everything I needed to. Plus I read one of The comments saying there is rolling shutter

Is there an alternate way to connect an external mic to the zf-1f? Or is that simply not possible?

I like the quiz. Very professional! It says Canon PowerShot G7X Mark III. I have no idea what to choose 🤷

How about compared to the rxooi? I mean that's Sony's version of an action camera right?

HEY you almost have the Clint Eastwood glare down on that thumbnail I beleive with a bit more practice you"ll have it. I purchased the ZV1 this spring watched many of your videos learned alot about the camera.......Thanks Clint.😉😉
