    About six weeks with the Sony ZV-E1. By all accounts I should love this little camera, but for some reason, no matter how hard I tried, I could not wrap my head around this.
    It has got the same sensor as the famous Sony A7Siii, it is small, it is super fast, makes BEAUTIFUL videos... But. When it comes to cameras, when I know it, I know it. ZV-E1 just is not the right match for me.

    I think you have got an older/much used battery, or there are some settings in the camera that drain the battery cause it shouldn't be that bad 🤔

    • @timovehkaoja
      @timovehkaoja  10 місяців тому +1

      The battery is the one that came with the camera. But even if it was 90 minutes at 4K, it is bad compared to R7 🤔

      @@Edrakaris Ofc they can be compared. A fully charged battery shouldn’t die as fast as it did with the ZV-E1. And now that I have been shooting with the A7IV and A7SIII, I have noticed that they don’t eat nearly as much power as the ZV-E1 did.
      Also the battery life of EOS R6 mk II and EOS R5 is significantly better than ZV-E1. On this video I compared it to the R7, as that was what I used the most.

    Also: Hey Sony, where is my loaner A6700 to test out? Yeah, I know, it probably got lost in the christmas mail, lots of delays and stuff - but no worries, just ship it again and I’ll make some videos about it to add to the two I’ve made so far … Timo can vouch for me, it’s all good ;)

      It is a fullframe camera with possibly the best sensor ever made in this price range (excluding cinema cameras such as ARRI, RED, etc), so I see no reason why it wouldn’t be. The only thing that bugs me out big time is the build quality and the lack f controls.

    Its a video oriented camera. So you dont need 3 rings to spin, the shutter stays the same like 90% of the time. One ring for ISO, another one for IRIS, not a problem. You can turn OFF your zoom tougle, come on mate. Nobody said, that mic is the best one yet, its just better than nothing if you dont have the proper mic. Like almost every aspect you delivered is just subjective hate and your old habbits. A had a proper PrOfeSsioNal metal Sony camera with a lot of buttens and stuff, but Im okay with my ZV-E1 right now and I know limitations and cons of it. Just give the people more weighty advices, USER EXPERIENCE. Ooooh plastic body, ooooh the proper mic is better than internal, its a joke mate.

      So nice for you to share all this with the rest of us 👍🏻 as I clearly stated in the beginning of this video, these are my opinions and opinions are usually based on experience.
      ZV-E1 is a content creator based camera, not just for video but for photos also.
      And every microphone is better than not having a mic at all, come on, ofc. This one just ain’t worth the hype it got from all the reviews.
      Now, if you like it, good, it is a good camera for you. But not for me. And if you think that my opinion about it is a joke, why are you so upset about it? 🤔

      @@timovehkaoja I'm upset because 100 and 1 talking heads are talking about the same things, straight to the obvious minuses of the camera. Not worth it, I can read the text about the camera faster. Not everyone have money for the damn FX3, and not everyone wants the FX30.
      Its better to tell people about solutions to these minuses like cages for bodies, fans for heating etc. It will be 100 more heads that will be complain about plastic and overheating. ZV-E1 has the market place and solid, just say it, because not everyone film 30 mins straight, not everyone film 4k these days, 1080p 10bit will be film forever and dead cold. That what everyone wants to hear.

      I am telling about my experiences based on using that camera. That is also what people want to hear. It is for the ones thinking about buying it but wanting to know more than what Sony ambassadors and fanboys say about it on their videos.
      If it is not a good camera in my opinion or for my use, I say it, without sugar coating it to the ones who love it. If you disagree, fine by me, but do me a solid and stop calling my opinions a joke, as I don’t call you or your opinion a joke.
