Drop me a comment and let me know what camera YOU are using these days! 👇
Im using a Alpha a 6400 at the Moment
I got an r5 not too long ago
I'm using a NIKON but it's been a struggle transferring the files my MacBook air- so I'm using my iPhone 14 pro Max
We’re twins ❤😂
I'm using the Canon M50 ii. You guys making me want to switch to Sony but I love my Canon!!!
Just came across your channel and binged a dozen videos. Love your stuff!
Means a ton! Thank you
Super genuine long-term review. I actually sold my A74 for the ZV-e1 months ago. The reasons were very much inline with your arguments: ultimate portability, fantastic for videos, and amazing light-gathering sensor. I would also like to add, my main usage is photography and 12mp is plenty for my needs, not to mention super small files (especially HEIF). I find myself shooting more and more videos because that camera is so much fun to use, especially with Dynamic Active Stabilization. Another selling point for me, was the lack of buttons. I find it much easier to not miss a shot with such simplicity, especially once I customized the center select to switch between the shooting modes i saved. For vertical content, i enabled 9:16 markers. This way, i can shoot in any ratio. Recently picked-up the switchpod and mantispod v2, along with iFootage carbon v3 with their horizontal-to-vertical plate. I have the Pgytech lock system (found it a pain to slide Falcam F38), very clever and fits Peak design’s tripod arca mount. Paired with 20 f/1.8, 40 f/2.5 and Sigma 85 f/1.4 is great for me. BTW, i was able to,reuse my Sony flash in 1/30s sync speed, with ND filter of course outdoors.
Thank you for your video, very informative.
Means a ton, thank you!
Rocking with the A7IV but have been wanting a B cam and something portable.
How has the white been holding up? Any stains or smudges?
This was really helpful, it's #1 on my list right now.
Love it!
definitely gonna a try to grab one of these in the future
You’d love it!
Great video as always! I’ve been using the zve1 for over a month now and it’s definitely an amazing camera. Mine overheated for the first time today, funny enough not when recording for over an hour for UA-cam but actually when filming an IG Reel. I was recording a couple of short clips for like half an hour and then recorded a longer take for 15 minutes and it just overheated. But good thing is that it didn’t take long to recover so we’re good for now! But yeah that definitely is something to keep in mind when using the camera - it’s not quite as reliable as the FX3 for sure.
Sheesh good to know bro! I’m sure each experience is a bit different but regardless excited to watch you cook with it
I was unfortunately not invited to the Sony camp 😢 but now I have the small ZVE1 too and I really love it 😍 perfect b-cam to my bigger FX6 and top for holidays 😅 best cinematic greetings from germany
Fantastic video man. I use this as my main recording camera for my videos. Coming from canon DSLR to this was massive upgrade
Auto focus/picture is amazing
Included color profiles are great
As you mentioned the built in mic is decent and great for on the go
My biggest issues are the overheating - happens at least once a week for me with my recording sessions.
Battery drains crazy fast
Ai autofocus - is cool but I wish I could adjust the focus sizes. There are a few prebuilt options but don’t work well for me.
Mic port - this drives me nuts. I the mic port directly blocks the mic levels when you have the screen flipped forward. So I can never tell if I’m too hot or not
Loving the camera though! Fantastic review update
Tyty! 🤘🏻
Still using an OG A7S mostly on a tripod. This thing caught my attention, but the overheating issue is a deal-breaker for me, I live in a hot environment and often record for extended periods. I think the A7SIII will be my next upgrade.
Love it man! I’m shooting Canon R5 /3 and the Fuji x100v. Getting into using my Mamiya RZ67 now too 🤌🏽
Beast modeeeee 🔥
Thanks for the video man! Thinking about getting one of these.
Question for you. Have you used this with an external monitor and if so, does the screen on the camera go black when you are recording with the monitor attached?
I have that issue with my A7iii - the screen on the camera goes black when I hit record and would prefer it to be on. Know they fixed this with the a7siii and fx3 but wasn’t sure about tthis one
I have not sorry, but I thought that was an option to keep it on or off?
Mine is coming in tomorrow. Just watched this and I’m even more excited to get my hands on it. 😄
Good choice!
@@JHawk Thank ya.
Hey, this is a great video - I like it so "down to earth" with primary focus on "will this get the job done for you?". Thanks! Right now I have an A1for photography and an A7 IV that I use for either second camera for pictures when I'm only doing pictures (like from an event) and if I want to record video, I mount the A7 in a cage with mic, vmount battery etc. There's two reasons I'm looking to get a ZV-E1: 1 ) because it's MUCH better for video and autofocus because of the AI chip, than the A7 in my case (events are often very different lighting) and 2 ) I'd like to have a permanent setup with two bodies (A1 and A7 IV) with fixed lenses AND a third camera only for video (that can be primarily "living" on my DJI gimbal). Doesn't this make sense?
Really nice video! I’m on the fence about this camera, and your video came up perfect 🙌 but what about the lens, if you only could buy one. Would you recommend 16-35 mm Gii ? For a first, all round lens?
16-35 100%
Thanks man! If I wanted to record a 60 minute 4k24p podcast is that possible? Also for travel good for that and even maybe some fast moving sports photos?
I wouldn’t trust it for that long tbh. Better off with the A7siii or the fx30
This was definitely a good buy when I had it. The size definitely made it convenient
Agreed!
This Is a great informative video @JHawk and is really helpful in choosing a camera.
I have a question, I’m a comedian, actor and filmmaker so I’m always on the go, which would be the camera for me, I do short films and for my comedy shows and vlogs?
Thanks in advance.
Figure out your budget and then search for videos off that! I could name about 20 cameras that could work, just depends what you want
Thanks for the great video. Question. Why would I go with this camera instead of a Sony a7c?
Different sensors. 7c is more of a hybrid, this is video dominant. For example there’s a crop on 60fps on the c. Not this one
Great video bro. Any update on the overheating issue?
This was only made about a month ago so no update since then
I’m just curious for vertical shooting. How does this compared to an iPhone? I’m looking for something with beautiful chris 4K footage with DOF.
Loooks so much better haha especially if you shoot SLOG
I picked one in October. I really like what they did with the camera and its got great features and ease of use. All that said, I sold it the other day because I'm looking to move to a more hybrid solution than stills or video priority focus.
Makes sense!
Have the exact same setup ZV-E1, 20mm, ECM-M1. And the WHITE IS CLEAN
Beasttttt
Review came right on time. Eyeing this one for an upgrade from my RP. 🤝🏾
Glad I could help!
I am highly considering this camera. Not cause of hype, but due to its size and the power it packs. It will mainly be a content creation camera for me. As of now I'm shooting on the FX30 and BMPCC 6K G2. Both great cameras and serve their own purposes, but I'm constantly filming in low light and both my current cameras are light hungry, so I believe the ZV-E1 will fill that gap. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the camera👊
It’s a beast!
@@JHawkI have the same issue, you recommend waiting to buy the fx3 or just get zve1 (I shoot nightlife, weddings, etc)
Need a Ram7 review next
You’re on to something here
Thank you. Good info.
Glad it was helpful!
@JHawk The price difference between the two had me wondering. So, you cleared that up for me. Thanks
I've been loving my ZVE1, been an absolute game changer! and 4K webcam has been great for podcasting! :)
It really is!
But woudlnt it stop podcasting after 10 mins or so?
@@AgentOnTube Nope! ive managed to record in 4K 24fps for over an hour! :)
@@CreativeCaffeinePodcast I just returned my ZV e1 1) becuase it was heavier 2) it overheated and stopped every 10 mins
switching back and forth between the Photo/video/S&Q modes - will it keep the settings of each? for example a higher shutter set for photo etc...
the demand for Hybrid is up...
Yep!
Just bought one as a second cam from my a7iv! Keh had a crazy sale and I picked one up for $1500 over new years!
Sheesh
The shots recorded on the ZV E1 which lens is it recorded with and what camera settings ?
I’ll have to do a settings vid. Either 16-35 or 20mm
Still rocking my GH5, will upgrade when my current camera makes the money for me ;)
I guess my GH5 dont want to get upgraded...
new to the whole videography/vlog scene. torn between either the ZV E1 or the A7C II. Which one do you recommend ??
Zve1 for more vidb
Would love a photo review on the cam!
!!!
Can I ask a question? IF pairing the ZV-E1 with an Atamos V recorder, am I right that I can't record prores 422 in 4K 60 because the ZV-E1 doesn't output this from the HDMI ?
Sorry no idea. I don’t think this is ur camera id you want to add an atamos tho!
Been rocking with the Sony ZV-E10 for about 6 months now! I’m pretty happy with it, I just would like to pick a lens in the near future! 🔥
Good choice!
@@JHawk thanks! Awesome review! 🔥
If you were gonna be stuck with one camera would you snag this or the a7siii?
Depends on what I’m shooting like I talk about!
Waiting for a future where everything in the A9III is in this small compact camera, but with more dynamic range, better noise performance and doesn't overheat. I think it will be sooner than later.
What about stabilization?
Solid!
What is the best camera you would refer to for shooting kid videos for youtube?
Dozens and dozens of options for that. Find your budget and then research off that!
I need to get my hands on that camera. It's the next one no my list to be fair.
It’s sick!
Love my ZV-E1. I have been using it for my channel since the beginning of last summer. Never any overheating issues. I recently used it for two 3hr long interviews with only a battery change in between. No overheating issues. I did buy the Ulanzi fan just in case but haven't had to use it. I typically run it with the Viltrox 14mm 1.8 or my Sigma 35 1.4.
Is it weather sealed? I’d like to be able to shoot in snow or rain
No I don’t think so
I was set on the ZV-E1 before hearing about the overheating issues, being in Texas, this is a huge issue for me. So I've decided to bite the bullet and plan on picking up an FX3 in the next month or so!
Makes sense!
Keep in mind fx3 getting older, price might gap down sometimes this year make sure u get in the good price
Fx3 firmware 5.0 so I duabt it still have never once gone on sale on bh.
If I want to shoot vertical video with the ZV E1 and I don't want to hand hold it and maybe use a gimbal. Since it doesn't have the hole on the side like the FX3, what would I use?
An L bracket!
@@JHawkthanks you for responding. I really am torn between the ZV E1 and the FX3. I don’t want to spend FX3 money but I also don’t want to over heat
Thanks much I agree 😊❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can’t compare the ECM b10 is a W for $250 it’s a win and audio is on point. I have owned for awhile used on gigs it’s great
Tbh really interested in picking this up in 2024 🔥🔥
I’m interested in picking you up this year
Coming from Instagram, It is a good camera for Vlogging I would get it as a 2nd Camera for sure 🎉
Fireeee
How is the white color holding up? Do you think it'll yellow over time?
Looks great still!
Would you recommend this camera for vlogging ? What camera do you recommend for talking head videos ? Has your opinion changed ?
This would be great! Just depends on the length for talking head stuff like I mentioned
@@JHawk Thank you. What is your current go to talking head camera ?
Currently rocking the Sony A6400 with Sigma 16mm f1.4 but really looking to get the Sony A7IV 33mp for that perfect hybrid setup for my photography & videography, but waiting on that damn price to drop haha
Would be great dude!
One day ;) but for now the A6400 does a good enough job to get the ball rolling :D @@JHawk
Came from insta quality video you deserve more subs
Thanks for the sub!
Just picked up a used a6600. Stoked with it so far and ready to pump out the content.
Video heavy creator here & mainly taking pictures on my phone… I currently have a A7C, do you think it’s worth upgrading to the ZV-E1?
Only if the a7c isn’t doing what you need!
the mic sounds more natural, whereas there isnt much lower notes captured by the oboard caam mic, also great review cheers! :)
Thank you!
I am sold, going to go get one right now
my guy
For me is the 10 BIT… 😊
Dope video bro! im rocking the FX3 For Professional work but i wanna check the zve1 specifically just for content!
Good choice!
One problem with this camera, you can not easily lock exposure, focus and white balance which you will need for reveal shots (a pretty common type of shot). To do a reveal you need to set everything manually.
Hmm ya I’m used to doing everything manual myself
Been eying this camera, but just don't see a need for it... I got the A7RV and A7IV and just picked the the Oslo Pocket Three For Vlogs, and quick videos
Love that!
I'm using Android for my UA-cam but I'm upgrading to iPhone 11 second hand.
How long is the recording time?
No limit
@@JHawk just got a Sony zv1 they’ve saying it has a 30 minute limit. But I’ve seen other ppl saying longer which is confusing me. I’m new to this.
I had that same lens, but it is not a G Master lens... it's quite good, though.
So good!
Sony A7R III for photo and ZVE-10 for video!
🫡🫡🫡
secound🔥
Squad
i like your tats. nature.
First 🔥
Let’s goooo!
I’m shopping for a good new camera for vlogging and photos right now. I’m sick of using my iPhone!
Love it!
I think you sold me on switching bro... been shooting canon for 8 years lol
Haha it’s good!
A7iv // A7C2 🙏
dope sensor! DR is what the doctor orders at 12800.
Facts lol
Dual base ISO ..?
Yep same as the others
@@JHawkNot all Sony cameras have dual base iso...
I'm still rocking the ZV-E10 - love it!
Would love to upgrade to the FX30 or A6700
Beast!
External microphone is better
Exactly what I said haha
Sony A7IV R 🫶🏻
Fire
Third?
Let’s goooo
