I wish they hadn't stopped production on the X3000 action cam. So many IRL streamers use this cam and are desperate for a new small form factor camera with optical image stabilisation.
DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!!! It is not an upgrade if you already have a modern smartphone. If vlogging is your main priority and you want to upgrade from a smartphone, then I'd recommend the GoPro 11 or DJI Osmo Action 3. If your priority is shooting talking head videos and/or general filmmaking then I'd recommend the Canon EOS M50 Mark II or the Sony ZV-E10.
Nice videography and sound production on the video. I have to comment on the camera's hairpiece. Looks like quite the toupée! Who knew they were coming to cameras near you???😁
@@coreytomsrealtor3072 no I am a photographer also have a pro camera, and I can tell the image is different in the zv1 and the iPhones because the sensor, there is pixels missing on the iPhone sensors the images just are nit that great
@@coreytomsrealtor3072 As a user of sony zv1 for more than one year, I do admit that I really wasted a lot of time on color grading videos, but it turns out to be wasted footage most of the time.
Did they get rid of the HFR? So they took away some features but added features that would’ve made the ZV-1 better? 🤦🏽♂️ I guess I’ll still keep my ZV-1 and wait for a ZV-2
Stabilization, Size, Quick access modes, 240 frames at 1080, Water Proof, Genius Mounting System, Better sound?, feels solid, the sony feels like it'll shatter if you drop it. And price, almost half.
Do you think the auto focus is good for someone who want to video stream building model kits? I'd like to have an overhead view where i can also pick up small pieces and bring it closer to lens so viewers can see the details on the pieces. Would this camera be good choice?
yes, this camera would be a great choice for what you want to use it for. The camera has fast and intelligent autofocus, and it is easy for plug and play streaming with a USB-C 3.0 cable.
Is it just me, or does this camera have no significant zoom capability? I had a compact Canon PowerShot that had a x40 zoom. I love everything else about this camera but if I can't get a decent zoom, it's essentially useless to me. Does anyone have any comments/suggestions?
Love that Sony got this out in time for Jake to capture the Bethesda Terrace it it’s regaled splendor. (The NYC parks department has to shutdown the water fountains for the Autumnal/Winter season any day now! Still, glad I purchased the Z 30 from B&H last month. Is there really a bad choice as long as you guys are there for us?
Thank you. 👍 How is it compared to iPhone 14 Pro? I am deciding either buy iPhone 14 Pro for video shooting or keep my current iPhone and get such an entry level camera if it gives better or same quality.
I would 100% recommend getting the iPhone 14 Pro over the Sony ZV-1F. I just bought the iPhone 14 Pro, and as someone who prefers to use DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, I am really impressed with the camera on this smartphone! It's better than the ZV-1F in every way. Better image quality, dynamic range, color, autofocus, stabilization, audio, and zoom range. That said, if you really want to get an entry level mirrorless camera, I would get the Sony ZV-E10 because it's an interchangeable lens camera that accepts Sony E Mount lenses. This would expand your options and a give you a real upgrade path since any lenses you buy for the ZV-E10 will work with any other Sony E Mount camera. The only downside is that the extreme crop with stabilization engaged makes it unusable for vlogging. If vlogging is your main priority, then I'd recommend the Go Pro 11 or DJI Osmo Action 3 over any Sony ZV series camera because the field of view and stabilization are much better. But if you have have the money and value versatility, then get the iPhone 14 Pro. Just make sure you get as much storage as you can afford. No less than 256GB.
Does this camera have a recording limit like most cameras? If yes, then I’d rather stick with my IPhone since I can record till my battery dies aka for hours 😕. That cut off time is too annoying to deal with 😂
Did they get ride of the built-in ND filter? Ashame footage isn't 10 bit, like can be done on DJI Mini 3 or Go Pro 11. Both small camera systems but with different purpose Your footage looks jerky. - was active stabilisation used? - can it be stabilised in Catalyst Browse?
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?
I love B&H Photo. I have acquired some very good deals there. This camera would be perfect for what I need a little more pricey than I'd like but they will let you bring this into a concert. It doesn't look like a big expensive camera. But I bet I can get some really good pictures and video with it. What I'm wondering is are there sound controls? Most cameras can't take it if the music is so loud most Canon cameras you can turn up or down the sound. Can you do that with this camera?
What I saw I did not like! The stabe was terrible, no dynamic range, no raw shooting, no built in ND filters. Focus hunting season! I buy it for $100.00....What is it $499.00 One can imagine the rolling shutter! The jello effect was amazing, can you turn it off? The audio sounded like a phone call 10 years ago!
Somehow that demo footage leaves me not impressed at all... Dynamic range and color science look horrible, almost like a DJI Osmo Action 1 - super cheap look. Stabilization is just as bad as with other Sony cameras and basically unusable, the audio sounds flat and digital, very cheap too. Most current mobiles will give you better results. What is wrong with this cam... it should deliver so much more... If you had done these shots even with a Gopro 9 and nailed the exposure with the right ND filter, the result in audio, video and stabilization would have been a lot better... and they just launched a Hero 11... This leaves me heavily confused...
Original zv1 lens is not fixed, it's 24 70 if I recall correctly, this is the worst camera sony ever made, one fixed lens 20mm? And also it's not much better of new phones? Did sony drop asid?
"This fixed lens will help expand users' creative power" Jesus, dude! Don't just read the copy from the marketing materials. You sound like a dope. How does moving from a zoom lens to a fixed focal length expand creative power? How does this compete with the smart phones with multiple focal length cameras that the camera is looking to replace?
Time to ditch this for a cellphone. Honestly cellphones will have better low light, bokeh, continuous focus, dynamic range, integration with apps, stablization, easy of use. No need to buy this extra thing. Time to upgrade to a phone.
Honestly, I find this Sony product disgusting. once again, they are playing with consumers, presenting them with expensive products that, compared to today's smartphones and iphones, lose ground and the battle for those. For example, with my smartphone Samsung Galaxy A71 I can take a quick photo, through the bars of a small window into a dark space and the photo came out very well. With a camera, whatever it is, I waste a lot more time. First, she doesn't fit through the bars of a small window. Second, I take the time to set the maximum aperture possible, increase the iso by one and finally lower the shutter speed to be able to take a photo, more or less equivalent to the one I take with my Samsung Galaxy A71. Sony, be ashamed of deceiving consumers.
Stabilization could use some improvements
Please note, this camera does not do 4k 60fps. The B&H website lists that incorrectly.

Thank you I was about to get it. Which camera would you recommend for filming workout content?
@@lesstalkmoreaction_1little late but the DJI action 4 (although 5 is coming out on the 19th)
Nice videography and sound production on the video. I have to comment on the camera's hairpiece. Looks like quite the toupée! Who knew they were coming to cameras near you???😁
4k introduces a crop and so does the stabilization mode, would’ve wanted that 20mm at least at 4k video
I’ve been spoiled by the go pro and iPhone stabilization. The stabilization on this new Sony looks mediocre 😢
still feel like I am gonna keep on using my iPhone.
I have the iphone 13 pro and the zv1 and prefer a million times the camera on the zv1
Wish iPhone would get a better selfie camera. If it did, these things wouldn’t be necessary.
@@coreytomsrealtor3072 no I am a photographer also have a pro camera, and I can tell the image is different in the zv1 and the iPhones because the sensor, there is pixels missing on the iPhone sensors the images just are nit that great

Aside from the blurry background, the DJI Action 3 is a better choice for Vlogging.
sans parler du tarif 🙃
not to mention the price almost equal to the ZV1😦

And price, almost half.
Shame it can't focus correctly lol, that's what you get for rushing a model out to match the competition
7:38 work their way up to the Zv-1? Isn't the 1F supposed to be the improved version?
Do you think the auto focus is good for someone who want to video stream building model kits? I'd like to have an overhead view where i can also pick up small pieces and bring it closer to lens so viewers can see the details on the pieces. Would this camera be good choice?

HDR-AS300 is still sounds better. Actually this little action cam has one of the best in camera microphones.

@@joeygwood Great! 🙌 Thanks a lot!
Is sony way of wanting you to buy SONY ZVE10
We all know iPhone cameras are good, but here ZV-1F competes with the front-facing camera on the iPhone, not the good rear ones.
Facts 😂😂
I am willing to bet they made this camera to increase ZV1 Sales 🤣
stabilization and mic are complete garbage. PASS
Does this camera have a recording limit like most cameras? If yes, then I’d rather stick with my IPhone since I can record till my battery dies aka for hours 😕. That cut off time is too annoying to deal with 😂
No, the Sony cameras does not have record limits on video
Did he say livestream at 720p?....
Would this be a good camera to record workouts on?
Did they get ride of the built-in ND filter?
Ashame footage isn't 10 bit, like can be done on DJI Mini 3 or Go Pro 11. Both small camera systems but with different purpose
Your footage looks jerky.
- was active stabilisation used?
- can it be stabilised in Catalyst Browse?
hi 👋, can i connect my zv1f to my laptop thru Bluetooth or wifi?? is it possible? thank you
no, the wifi and bluetooth is for connecting the camera to the Imaging Edge Mobile Plus app on your phone.
When are they available?
The Sony ZV-1F is available for pre-order, and will ship out on a first come first serve basis.
the mic sounds bit electronic
The autofocus looks like complete garbage. Panasonic DFD users can now laugh at this.

there are sound controls, and the built in mic is pretty decent. There is also an option to plug in an external mic as well.
loveee loveee loveee this camera!!!!!!
Nah the zv1 is a much better choice for people looking to upgrade from a smartphone
Do I need a powerful computer with a good graphics card to edit the footage taken from this camera or can I just use any modern regular laptop?
Basic editing chores can be completed with a standard PC or Apple laptop. An external HDD/SSD drive is strongly recommended. >Mark
I didn't like the sound. Can you connect an external mic?
Yes, you can comment an external mic to the ZV-1F. It has an 3.5mm mic input on the side of the camera.
What I saw I did not like! The stabe was terrible, no dynamic range, no raw shooting, no built in ND filters. Focus hunting season!

We in Europe,
we are lucky to pay 650€😪
can i use my Rode Mic to this camera?
yes, the Sony ZV-1F does have a 3.5mm mic input. so any Rode mic with that 3.5mm mic jack will work.
@@BandH Alright, thank you
Awesome & Thanks :)
What about low light compatibility of the camera ?
it does have a 1" sensor, it does moderately well in low lighting but you may see some grain in dark shadows in the image
USB-C FTW 🎉
Wonderful video my friend. I'm your fan＋👍🔔
Where is the HDMi port and clean output?
The ZVF1 does have a micro HDMI on the side of the camera body. Yes, it does have the option to send out a clean HDMI output.
Somehow that demo footage leaves me not impressed at all...

Stabilisation in disappointment
Does it have A7S3 A7M4 menu?
It has a similar menu layout of the A7Siii and the A7iv
"This fixed lens will help expand users' creative power"
Jesus, dude! Don't just read the copy from the marketing materials. You sound like a dope. How does moving from a zoom lens to a fixed focal length expand creative power? How does this compete with the smart phones with multiple focal length cameras that the camera is looking to replace?
3:30 The Wind Screen look like a Hair Wig for the camera. Ha ha ha
GoPro is better for vlogging than this... thing...
sound is tinny.
It's actually a really bad camera, even a mid range phone can shoot better quality videos
Cool...
Good video
Really need a RX100m8........please.....!!!!!!
The stabilization is not that great
Audio is thin and weak sadly
Am I the only one who thinks that camera in camera mic sounded absolutely horrible?!? Hell no not buying after this video.
Time to ditch this for a cellphone. Honestly cellphones will have better low light, bokeh, continuous focus, dynamic range, integration with apps, stablization, easy of use. No need to buy this extra thing. Time to upgrade to a phone.
Sound was awefull compared to the zv1
That stabilization is TERRIBLE
Everything about this camera is garbage. Zv-1Fail this is the definition of a disappointing camera
Fixed lens, unfortunately
Stabilization..is, well, disappointing.
