- Is an expensive cinema camera really better than a pocket vlogging camera? We put the Sony ZV-1 head-to-head against our rigged-out Canon C200 to find out! You won't believe how the ZV-1's video quality, audio, stabilization, and autofocus are stacked up. This miniature marvel traded blows with our Hollywood-style setup in epic tests. We were shocked at what this palm-sized powerhouse could do. Vloggers and filmmakers alike need to see this ultimate camera showdown!

Loved the video and that you compared it to a full production cinema camera, just to show how well the ZV-1 does. Honestly for most people, the ZV-1 does a great job. Crazy to think this little pocket camera is such a powerful tool for creating content.
Thanks! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
Actually instead of getting extra batteries for the ZV-1 you should buy a good portable power bank and a lightweight USB power cable. Some gimbals can even power your camera from their own internal battery. Changing the ZV-1's battery while it is mounted on anything like a rig or a gimbal is impossible and unmounting the camera will inevitably mess up the setup. Plugging in a good powerful power bank will also avoid additional heating up of the camera caused by the battery itself so it will run for a longer time without overheating.
Thanks for the great advice! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
I love this camera. I had it, sold it, missed it so bought it again. My only wish for a next version of it would be wider angle lens, and 4k 60fps ability. Literally those are the only things that would make it perfect. Well, maybe better battery life too, but that may be asking too much for such a small cam that does 4k.
Get the Ulanzi add on lens - makes a big difference.
Yep! We're looking forward to using (and reviewing) the next version too!
@@wakeywarrior Yep! It really does!
Or splurge a bit and grab the Neewer’s bolt on adapter. You dont need to stick any adapters on the lens.
I agree, i got 2x of these ZV1 for either live streaming or something I can sneak on the side as an alternative pov.
I have it setup in a small rig with a 10000mah battery that can record for a whole day. I think it is a very underrated camera.
We use pp10 hlg2 or pp8 slog3 cine2 if working with other sony FF cameras.
For travel i really love that it has a hotshoe since i can do OCF photos with it.
Great video! Appreciate your perspective using it as a mini cinema camera
Thanks so much for the additional info and we're really glad you enjoyed the video!
Excellent video and a very very nice comparison for video and audio, much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and share.
A very helpful video - thank you! My ZV-1 is coming later today. I'll be using as a B camera to my Blackmagic 6k Pro. I really wanted the autofocus & image stabilisation. Lots of tips in your video which I'll be sure to use!

I noticed the jitters as well and considered a gimbal as my only choice to get rid of them as I didn't think the std stabilization was that good, this has really helped thanks

Thank you. I just picked up the Sony ZV-1 and will be using it at church for Facebook Live Streaming. I'll have it connected to my MacBook Air and iPad running Camo and Switcher Studio through Zoom.
Well-done instructions! I just hope i can use my ZV-1 more often this year. I am still ignorant of the cam's technicalities. :(
Thanks so much! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions about anything and maybe we can help you get up and running faster!
"Active" mode is the same digital stabilization as Catalyst Browse, but without rotation axis correction and with a feature that prevents jittery smudged footage: if the motion speed is high enough to create motion blur on the current shutter speed setting, it won't correct for it but let it shake instead. Natural shake sometimes can look better than blurry gimbal-stabilized footage.
Wow i appreciate the hard work. Very informative video 👍
Great information about the ZV1, I am a fitness content videographer and was thinking of getting this camera for my contents only bcos of the focus and stabilisation whch I feel is just amazing 😊

Thanks! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
Thanks for this, I've had this camera for a few years and I feel like I'm barely scratching the surface with what it can do. I started using it for cinematic-styled vlogs and I'm having a lot of fun with it! If there's any would-be filmmakers out there reading this, it's a great camera to learn with before you go spending thousands on an FX3, sigma 1.4, and all that other stuff you don't technically need to start filming stuff.
Great input and glad you're enjoying it!!!
great great video, very useful information!

Great Video review, help me a lot. How about overheating is this an issue? thx
with my zv-1 i generally shoot 0.-3 (under exposed) and the footage comes out great
Thanks for the input! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
Thanks for the video, very helpful 😊 I can’t see where you say what you’re using to attach the ND filter?
You actually would need both the wide angle lens attachment as well as the ND filter, since the wide angle lens comes with a step-up ring, that allows you to attach the ND filter:
Sony ZV-1 Wide Angle Lens: amzn.to/3kqj89v
Sony ZV-1 Variable ND Filter: amzn.to/3Jz1ht1
Thanks! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!

I just purchased the Sony zve10 and its another step up again incl better battery. thanks for your vdo - I like your presentation no BS style, have ordered the WL-3 wide angle thats screws on rather than stick on.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it and are liking your Sony!
Hey @Envy Creative you wouldn't h *appen* to know why I can't get the Inkee Ironbee Tripod Remote Control to work its bluetooth magic on the zve10? its gets * completely stuck and nothing happens,* cheers
@@speakerscoach I'm not completely sure, but in my experience, I have never really gotten remote accessories to work with any of our cameras with Bluetooth... Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
@@envycreative thanks. I’ve asked for a refund. All I wanted to do was turn the record button on from my standing position which I can do with the phone app.
The senheiser mic is top quality sounds
Yep! We love them! Thanks! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
great video!
Thank you!
Thank you for this video. Was on the fence about buying the zv1, but after watching your video, I’m certain of the purchase. Loved at the end when you mentioned the lens adapter; how it can be used to widen the shot, or up close using the macro. That was the seller for me. I definitely want a wider shot.
Great! Glad our video helped you out! Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions too.
@@envycreative will do
Search UA-cam for "zv-1 cinematic" and check out the quality of video this thing puts out. Damn near good enough to shoot a feature-length film on.
@@Flashback_Jack I'm getting ready to check it out right now
Two years ago you compared 4 cameras. Since cameras are updated frequently, maybe you could do another comparison? I'm a total newby to vlogging and searching out what is available today. Many thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! Yep, we agree that it is time for a new comparison video. We got caught up with some videos that did not work out, which is why we haven't posted in a while and have a backlog of video ideas (see our latest video with the failed videos we tried). So, we should be coming out with regular content again soon. Thanks again!
Hello guys excellent video specially for new users as myself I bought the Sony ZV-1.
I notice in all the tutorial videos that they use the wide angle lens and how much better it looks using the wide angle lens, unfortunately non of the videos shows how it install the wide angle lens and were to buy it maybe a part number so it will easier to order .
Thanks in advance
Bob
Thanks for the question! Here is the lens that we use that works great (amzn.to/3kqj89v). Also, the lens comes with a small, adhesive step-up ring you install to the front of your lens (which is the ring you see around the outside of the lens on our Sony in the video). Then, you screw the wide-angle lens onto that. Hope this helps! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions about anything!
@@envycreative thank you 🙏 ‘ I will try to find the lens via a other channel as I live in Indonesie and so far we cannot order via Amazon.
Maybe during my next trip to Europe.
Cheers
Bob
Great video! Answered a lot of questions I had. Do you know if you can clean HDMI out to a Ninja V or similar monitor/recorder with the ZV-1?
Thanks! And yes, you can get a clean HDMI out to an external monitor. We have used this for monitoring, but we have not tested it for recording externally. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
hi! great video. I'm looking for a compact powerful camera for on the go 4k videos, and I'm thinking about the ZV1 and RX100V. I really like the bigger zoom range of the RX100V. What do you think? there are other good options in 2022? thank you!
The 100V has essentially same lens it doesn't zoom more you are thinking of 100VI However after the 100V they don't give you the inbuilt ND. Also note the external mic input was only added in later models
Great review! How does the camera performs in low light?
It does pretty well in low light. It is not as good as the higher end Sony cameras, but we think it does better than, say, your phone. Thanks! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
Loved this video. Succinct and to the point on all the camera features. How would this compare with the new ZV-1F? Any thoughts on how the Sennheiser external mic compares to the Sony ECM-G1? NEW SUBSCRIBER!
Thanks! We haven't used the ZV-1F yet, but from what we've seen about it, it probably would rank the same as the ZV-1. We also would always recommend Sennheiser mics over others, since even though they aren't a camera brand, they tend to ALWAYS produce the best sound. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
@@envycreative thank yo so much for taking time to reply. Much appreciated!
@@PoetWithPace Sure thing! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
hi, good video, just a question, STANDARD COLOR PROFILE is one of the profiles? or is without a profile?
Yes, "standard profile" is one of the profiles. Sorry to say that this camera doesn't have a mode where you can go without a profile. The closest thing would be to choose the "neutral" profile or a custom one where everything is set to 0. Hope this helps!
thank you for the hard work: my question is as I research, would the Sony Zv-E10 be the better buy or the Z-V1. as right now the cameras are about $50.00 difference. I am looking to do product reviews with it and I use my action camera for just going around thanks for your advice.
The main difference is that it looks like the Zv-E10 at that price is without a lens, since it is an interchangeable lens camera. The Sony ZV-1 has a fixed lens, so you can't change it. The ZV-E10 is definitely more capable if you want to get a starter mirrorless camera! Thanks! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
@@envycreative thank you, I will most likely go for the Z1 as that will suit my needs.
@@fishycomics Thanks! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
@@envycreative 5 minute continuos 4k or it stops and you must hit again start. and 20 minute of 4K bat life is a killer I just heard?
@@fishycomics I know that the newest firmware on the ZV-1 allows for continuous recording, you just have to check the temperature settings in the camera to allow this. Thanks!
At last some proper reviewing
Thanks so much! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
Was the rode wireless mic taped under his shirt? Did you use a lavalier mic plugged into the rode wireless or just the rode box itself? Thanks for a great video :)
We had our lav mic plugged into the Rode Wireless Go transmitter and we had the Rode Wireless Go receiver plugged into the Sony ZV-1. Hope this helps and let us know if you have any other questions!
@@envycreative great thanks so much for the reply!
I just got the Sony ZV-1 white version blogger kit from bby..looking to expand my channel and do you tube more seriously thanks for you video very detailed and helpful
Thanks! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
Wonder how Sony ZV compares to Sony Alpha's. I haven't really used any sony's yet. I am a canon guy, but I'm interested in Sony ZV for vlogging.
Yep! We are Canon users also and don't have any Sony Alphas (yet), but if we get one, we'd definitely want to make a review about the comparison. Thanks for the feedback and let us know if you have any questions!
I would love to buy this camera but none of the reviews, seem to talk about battery life, how hot it gets, how tough it is.. can you simply replace the battery when it gets low for a new charged one?
Thanks for the question! The battery life is pretty bad on this camera, since the batteries are so small. So, we would definitely suggest picking up some other batteries for it. Here are some cheap ones we use that work great (amzn.to/3ECGsJm). It doesn't get hot at all though, even with long recordings, so that is nothing to worry about. The camera feels like it is made of tough plastic. It is pretty sturdy on the outside of the camera, nothing that ever made us worry about breaking it. However, behind the LED screen, there is a part of the camera with thinner plastic, that looks like it could crack if the screen is not closed when traveling. Hope this helps and feel free to let us know if you have any other questions!
Does Skin Smoothening still works if you output the video using HDMI to a TV or a monitor?
It should since we use an external monitor to see the video signal larger and can see it on there. But, we haven't tried actually recording externally.
what tripod did you use for sony zv 1 in the beginning of the video?
We actually just used a cheap, $30 tripod on Amazon, but this is the quick-release we used and would recommend (amzn.to/3zh0APu). Hope this helps and feel free to let us know if you have any other questions!
how does this ND filter work with ZONY ZV 1? I mean is it a 52 mm? I didn't see that in the sony lens? Or is it comes with an adaptor?
The camera has a built-in one-stop ND, but the adapter comes with a step-up ring with an adhesive strip that you need to put on the front of the lense to make it work (which comes with the ND filter) - amzn.to/3Jz1ht1
Thanks! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
Sir, which editing software you were using to edit the footage? 01:43
We were using Final Cut Pro X. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions!
Great video! I have a question.
I’m not a pro or blogger, I’m jut looking for a camera that can take great pictures and has a decent zoom lens, what would you recommend for under $1000 😁
Thank you for your help!
We would definitely either recommend the Sony ZV-1 or the DJI Osmo Pocket 2 (which is what we actually find ourselves reaching for more often). We did a comparison video here, in case you want to see the differences (ua-cam.com/video/WDCJzVnoHPo/v-deo.html). Feel free to let us know if you have any questions about anything!
@@envycreative awesome thank you so much, I’ll take a lot at the comparison video.
@@luismoran7176 Great! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions about anything!
ZV1 is awesome. Amazing. They really messed up by removing the phase detect AF on the 1-F. Completely ruins the camera.
what is phase advantage autofocus
Does this camera shoot 24p? Just wanted to know. Thanks.
Yes! It does!
Unfortunately when you use it with the crane M2 or any other crane gimbals the monitor goes black and there's not much you can do about it
We have an M2 gimbal and it works great! Just be sure not to actually hook it up to the gimbal's interface.
@@envycreative I did that. I guess you cannot zoom or turn it off and on from the handle but the rest works good
2:15 Shame you didn't match zoom for that. Difficult to tell saturation.
Is it is good for vlogging?
It is good for vlogging, but there are better options in our opinion. Check out our other video where we review 4 cameras specifically for things like vlogging: ua-cam.com/video/WDCJzVnoHPo/v-deo.html
8:28 Uh, were you watching the same video? lol
its a great little camera but not having an interchangeable lens system really limits your use cases for this camera. something like the ZV-E10 is just much better because of that interchangeable lens system and it had almost all the same features as this camera.
Although this review is a bit out of date (ZV-1 is disappearing from stores, just clearance available) I like your approach: focus on use cases instead of comparation technical data and putting camera in extremal conditions.
Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed it and feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
Don’t think ZV1 is disappearing. There’s no replacement imminently?
@@wakeywarrior Here is just warehouse stock. A man in Sony Center noticed that Sony doesn' supply it. On top of that I saw somewhere on DPreview that ZV-1 II may be released in the middle of 2022.
@@agirilovich I’m not saying one won’t come, but they haven’t stopped supplies (there must be a supply issue in your country) and there’s no credible leak anywhere it’s coming soon. Nothing.
@@wakeywarrior Could be. Will see.
i just bought this camera yesterday when i try to record videos, i look so orange ... i tried to adjust the temperature/white balance/etc i end up looking fuzzy/out of focus i dont know what to do
Did you look at it on the computer? We found that the LED screen is not that accurate when it comes to seeing focus or even the image color, but when we bring it into the computer, it looks great. Also, be sure to try and use the default or the neutral color profile to see if that helps. Thanks and feel free to let us know if you have any other questions!
@@envycreative no i have not, i will tonight! thank you so much
@@nohemiemawaka No problem! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!

I have no idea what I just listened to! But y’all welcome for the view…. This mic that mic back to zv1 back to pro rig etc … so what was one supposed to get from this vid? 🤷♂️
The video is to show how the Sony ZV-1 shoots pro-level video with other great features for a fraction of the price and footprint of large cinema cameras! Thanks for the question and feel free to let us know if you have any other questions!
@@envycreative 👍 I understand that … reckon I wasn’t concise enough. The point I was trying to convey, was I was lost from all the back and forth … guess those with a foundation followed just fine … but me…. I just trying to learn period. Lol guess I needed a prerequisite before this class 😂🤔. Thanks for the response ✌️🤙
I think you forgot to apply crop factor to the aperture. So Sony says 1,8 but if we apply crop factor which is 1,5 for this app-c sensor it will give us result of 2,7 - the actual aperture. And this is why you see different depth of field between zv1 and you camera.
It is really misleading that Sony doesn't apply crop factor but I can understand 1,8 makes a better selling point. But why you don't?
Thanks for the feedback! We actually tried to move further back with our Cinema Camera to try and get the same field of view. Crop factor does not affect the aperture or the depth of field. If you took a full frame a crop sensor and took the same picture from the same tripod, you would have the same picture. The crop sensor would just be a cropped version. The crop factor comes into play, where if you took a picture with a full frame and a crop sensor, and wanted the same picture of the same subject. In order to get the same exact framing, you would have to move back a bit with the crop sensor, to frame the subject so that it appears to be the same size in the photo as it does with the full frame.
What about the Sony Zv-1F?
Thanks! We haven't used the ZV-1F yet, but from what we've seen about it, it probably would rank the same as the ZV-1. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
2:28 wtf is bro doing lmao
Couldnt you connect it to a power bank via micro usb. And even to external monitor via micro hdmi. These 2 features would really make it a mini cinema camera.
Yes you can
I can’t even tell the difference Sony just that good
This camera is good, but I can't buy it yet
Rigged out my zv1 to have a v mount battery
Iso keep it on auto
if you compare the sony to a full frame camera the f1.8 is more like a f4...and this is not soooo famous as you said...by the way, cool "director" T shirt
Has anyone had the experience of shooting any proper short/feature films or documentaries on the Sony ZV1 and how was it? Much appreciated if anyone can share any insights.
Congrats on 7.49 subscribers. Half more for 8
For outside events. I found it overheated. Often. Even when it was 65-70s. Battery life? Not great. For long events expect 30 to 45 minutes of record time. Don’t buy their handle. Mine quit working after a few months. Have yet to discover why. Gorilla or a selfi stick work better. That said it relay. Very portable and excellent picture quality. Zoom could be better but…
Thanks for the feedback!
I don't trust anyone that gets paid promotion...I have the Sony zv 1....I also have the gimbal that goes with it...but it's not really good for walking around cos I have that camera
We bought the camera ourselves and used it on many projects before we make the review. This video review is not a paid promotion 😁
