    Soon as you said “no raw” I made up my mind. Raw is a must have. Thanks for saving me some money.

    Great video! I still love my original Sony ZV-1...I've never had any problems with it. The ZV-1 ii is probably even better but I'll wait another year before I decide to get that. The ZV-1 ii on Black Friday is still pricy even though they say it's on sale.

    I"ve been using this camera for about 2 years now and for me, it works perfectly. I do vlog content, mainly centered around golf, and it's pretty much a point and shoot. I was able to fit an adapter and aftermarket wide angle lens on it.
    I do have to ask, though and this is open to anyone who can answer, for vlogging, I just wanted to know if there are any particular settings you all use.

    I can see this being a take to a show camera for photos and video, definitely better than wat a phone can do, personally I hate that everything is now vlogging centered, I want a Sony a6400 that's has modern staples like USB c

    It's fine, but it's not much of an upgrade if you have a flagship like the iPhone 15 Pro or 16 Pro and in many ways a downgrade. If you want a more noticeable step up in quality you really want APS-C at a minimum in my opinion and these days Full Frame can be had at incredible prices too, like a Sony A7C.

    Buy a secondhand ZVE10, better AF, better video, better stills not really a contest and it wouldn't be much more expensive. If a wide view is really that important to you get an action cam. It will be more rugged and most of the newer one's have 10-bit video. The Pocket 3 is also a good option, again if budget is a concern the Pocket 1or 2 would still have better IQ and certainly stabilisation than the ZV1F. Honestly I really don't see the value in the Sony ZV1F, it's actually a little pricey when you consider the specs and features.

    I own this camera, obviously multiple cameras, this is a great camera for what it is. I take it with me when I want a camera I can be a bit rough with, without worrying and also knowing that I will get some decent footage. I will say, the photos are decent, like an iPhone 12, but the video quality is pretty good for what it is.

    Out of the ZV-1 line the only one I recommend is the original. The biggest flaw was the mounting point blocking the battery door. The fact that they didn't leave a notch on the battery door for a dummy battery is the second. Lastly they used micro usb instead of C. I could nitpick some other issues, but if Sony would just re-release the camera with those changes at the same price point, maybe even a little higher, I'd be ecstatic.
    Every other single release in the line including the mark two, drastically removes other features that make the original camera, the best all around camera for content creators. In my opinion. The next step is to go to interchangeable lens cameras but then you lose the portability.
    Even the ZV-E 10, should have been the original ZV-1, removing the lens for the E-mount. For those that wanted interchangeable lenses anyway, thats it. For most content creators and even run and gun Indy film makers, the original point and shoot body with the 24-70 lens fits 97% of what you shoot.
    It's sad that the freak out point for most people was that 24mm wasn't wide enough for walk and talk videos. The simple fixes for that was to, 1. use a selfie stick so you could hold it out a bit further, 2. Put a diopter on the lens to widen out the angle. More importantly for walk and talks, we now have the Pocket 3 from DJI which is hands down the best camera I've ever seen for that type of content.
    Losing that extra telephoto on every iteration after the original ZV-1 hurts every other type of creator. Then there's the other features that they removed like super slowmo and IBIS. Granted the IBIS wasn't the best but it's still leaps and bounds over digital stabilization.
    Again there were some other minor flaws with the ZV-1, if you want to pick nits but there's a rather simple work around for every flaw. The "fixes" they put in every other version of the camera drastically reduce the versatility of the original camera. With the original ZV-1, they came so close to creating the perfect, one camera to rule them all, for content creators.

I want to get red eye effect in every of my picture, does sony zv e10 have "red eye effect reduction"? And what external flash should I buy? because the sony zv e10 doesn't have a internal flash. And how to setting the external flash? Maybe of you guys know about how to get red eyes effect please help me in comments

    Anyone considering this camera knows it’ll be a content creating/vlogging 99% of the time with the other 1% being using it to take the thumbnail for your video. I own it in white and it’s now become my content workhorse. Definitely worth getting if you’d like an upgrade from a phone specially if it’s on sale.

      @ the Zv-1f has a larger sensor than the iPhone so it produces a better image quality. However if you have good lighting and good mic with your iPhone it shouldn’t matter.
