Great live-streaming camera
Just purchased this camera. It had a bit of a learning curve, considering the extensive menu, but for my purposes, which was live-streaming an video capture, it served well. Good sound capture with the built in microphone, including when mounted to a V-twin motorcycle in traffic (the spoken word is fairly clear).

Good camera but overpriced
Costs a lot for what it is. Does have good settings but the cost is very high, especially since there’s no built in flash so you if you need one you’d have to purchase one separately

Sony ZV-1 Still a little powerhouse of a camera
Just brought this camera specifically for shooting video on a gimbal. I have to say it is still one seriously powerful and versatile camera at the price. I am a seasoned sony a7s series user and owner. It offers stabilisation in lense and body, slow mo, 4k recording, external input/outputs, great audio quality, 24 70 zoom offering f1.8 at certain ranges, and many other features. Still blows away the competition at the price. It has features that the mark 2 does not have. It is viewed by many as a vlogging camera, however in the right hands, it is a really powerful camera creating footage which can be equal to a high end premium gear. For those who are on a budget and require high quality video, you cannot go wrong with the ZV-1. Thank you Sony!!!

Battery life is not great
Battery life is very poor. Transferring photos from the camera to the phone is a huge pain and most times doesn’t even work. The app used to transfer the photos is so glitchy.

My first camera
This is my first proper camera and I'm very excited! I mostly purchased it to take photos and videos while travelling with the missus, and so far we've been just on one trip. Even though it is a point-and-shoot, I still find the menus and settings a bit confusing as a total beginner, though the results are amazing! Really looking forward to using more and getting better at creating content!

Features, quality and sound.
I expected the quality to be better, sound is very low, hard to work around.

Returned in less than a week
I bought this to vlog from home, but the colours are dull and the footage is grainy even in a controlled environment. Microphone: The in-built mic so worse than that of an iphone 12. Battery life: Fully charged, the battery dies after 15 minutes of filming without fail. Footage Transfer: The app to transfer files to your mac or iPhone is temperamental. It takes 1 hour to transfer a 5 minute video file, if you are lucky enough that it doesn't spontaneously cancel midway through. Concensus: stick to your smart phone if it has a decent camera!

Great little camera
First this camera is small enough to fit into a coat pocket or an handbag, If you take a little time going throudh the menu system you will soon realize that it is quite easy to understand, the camera takes great pictures, the auto focus tracking focus and touch focus rarely let you down. You can shoot in fully auto mode for that quick moment resulting in decent pictures or if you have the time you can set the camera via mode button and slect manual and get the desired frane you want. The camera has different picture profiles you can choose and the buttons on the camera are well placed. if I had one small quibble it would be no view finder. The video options on the camera are vast, im only just starting to get into video. vlogging etc so I will have to update on that in the future. all in all a great little camera

Useless if tou have a mobile phone
Small but still too big to just take with you. I either use a 100-400mm A73 or my mbike phone. Even my VERY much loved 16-35 mm F4 is redundant. Its time for camera design to take a jump and somehow integrate lens and sensor tech with mobile technology and give up on the camera box concept.

The ZV-1 was a good camera, that didn't quite...
I've had my ZV-1 for about 3 years, it's been a love hate relationship. The good: image quality, audio, and range of options in the menu The bad: negotiating the menu, stabilisation, battery life, lens could do with being wider, fiddly buttons, and the nightmare menu. I bought the ZV-1, thinking it was an upgrade for the X3000 - it wasn't
