- Is the Sony ZV-1 M2 worth the upgrade from the ZV-1?
This video will discover that question whether you think these newly added features are worth the upgrade over to the Sony ZV-1 M2.
There are many features software and hardware that have been added to this camera and may be worth it for many people, but there are some features I personally wish Sony would have changed.
What are your thoughts on the Sony ZV-1 M2? Always difficult to compete against smartphones but I feel like these smaller point and shoot cameras are just slightly better than our smartphones.

Just bought a brand new ZV1 for under $500 so fair to say the Mark II helped drive the price down on the ZV1 making it the better buy
Hey Jason! Just wanted to say we have been enjoying your videos for a while now and find them VERY helpful. You are so good at helping all of us learn more about camera gear and do so in a fun and entertaining way. Love that you get the family involved in the reviews too :) Thanks for putting all these vids together.
My first Sony camera was the ZV-1, and it served us well on our channel. Then, many thanks to you; we have upgraded to the A7IV, then A7RV now the ZV E1 (and loving them!) Your videos are really well made and helped us in this growth phase of our business.
Many thanks, and much success to you!
Thank you. Wow you really have the best of the best cameras! Amazing to see you’re still having fun
Hi I am college student on a budget. Which camera do you recommend? I was thinking buying a used A6000 for 250 dollars.
I’ve been watching camera videos all week just to stumble across this one and have you explain everything in detail with every possible mishap and scenario you may run into with deciding on a new camera. God bless you sir and thank you!
Great review - cheers Jas! I didn't bring any gear with me here so this might be a good option for me!
Great review! I'll be pre-ordering for sure! I've been using the zv1f just because of the width but this one is wider, better stablilization, built in nd filters and the better auto focusing again! Woohoo!
Oh yes this is much better than the ZV-1F in my opinion
This is absolutely spot on comparison / review. Thank you. BTW, whats the tripod are you using (holding) here?
So you totally got a thumbs up and a subscription from me 😉 Great video!
Just a question, with the mark II and only having a 720p webcam stream included you only meant with the out of the box function - right?
You can still connect it like the older ZV-1 to your PC and use OBS Studio with the full resolution right?
Thanks! I shoot with a Sony A7III and a ZV-1. The former on car trips, the latter when on a motorcycle tour. The ZV-1 is a great little camera, but I am trading it in for something with a viewfinder.....I don't know which camera-there are so many to chose from...
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks for including the pros and cons like always Jason.
Thanks for watching
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema You are welcome sir
the video the people definitely need! great stuff mate
Haha thanks brother
Thank you for the comprehensive comparison between these two, as I have thinking to purchase one but couldn't decide which one.
I had to ask, does the type C port on ZF-1 ii allowed a bluetooth microphone with type C connection as the audio input? The type that usually used for smartphone, e.g. Boya BY-V10?
As someone who has a Nikon Z6 and an A7iv I just wish I had a smaller body during my recent trip in London. I was carrying the A7iv + 24-70mm 2.8 sigma in my peak design 3L all day. My back just couldn’t take it anymore 😂. Plus I also had my 3K gorillapod, which wouldn’t fit in my bag because it’s ready stuffed because of the camera and the lens and I had to unplug and unscrew the RodeMic Go II which I also had with me and then set everything up, whenever I wanted to shoot or vlog and it attracted so much attention and people kept looking at me. That’s the only moment I realized how a smaller camera is so useful and why so many people go for a smaller one compared to a bigger set up, so I ended up getting getting the ZV-1 because I don’t think there’s that many improvements compared to the Mark II apart of the menu, which I thought had the same as the A7iv at first, microphone and lens, which for me is not really an improvement I do get the fact that a lot more like to showcase their surroundings when vlogging, but I just think that whenever I talking to the camera I don’t need the image to be super wide, which I believe is the thought of many vloggers tbh and if I need to show where I am at or the surroundings I just turn the camera around so people can see the actual place without my face in the middle of it. I don’t know, it’s just my thought process behind the whole thing. Although I will say the battery door is a huge improvement 😂😂
Nice video man! I ended up just getting a Neewer LS-18 wide angle lens for the ZV-1 and I’m pretty happy with that. 🙂
So you can switch the lense out ?
@@aishalampert7443 it’s more of an attachment that mounts to the Sony zv1. Although it is no longer a compact camera once used but it does the job.
thank you , for the advice..I already order the Mark ii
Great review! I’m trying to purchase my first point and shoot camera. I would like to use it for my family pictures while on vacation and some videos that j will take on the way. Which one of the two do you recommend? I think I like the wider angle on the newer version.
i dont know if i'd recommend a vlogging camera for family pictures
Hey Jason, nice Video which one would you recommend for gym vlogging and on travel. Actualy i would choose the m2
yes M2 I personally think is the better choice
Hey Jason,
thanks for sharing all the information. Great video! I've got a question about using the Sony ZV1 II. I am recording my 18 holes of playing golf and consider to buy that camera, but I am not sure about the setup.
Currently I use my Smartphone as a camera with an external microphone and an additional powerbank to charge my phone during the session as my battery won't last long enough. The clue is: my microphone uses USB-C as well as my phone, so I am using a splitter to charge my phone and use the microphone simultanously.
How does it work with the camera? Would it be charged via my phone or would I need to buy a lot of batteries to film ~5h straight?
You would have to buy a lot of batteries definetly... I guess about 5 or 6...
I think in that case another cam like the bigger alpha ones with an all day runtime Jason recommended in this video would be better...
Sony should do Pocket 2 style camera with Alpha features. I like the size of the zv1m2. Also that small microphone without cords is super good. I have a question. Can camera record the card full if it is connected to the AC power while recording?
I like my ZV1. I use it for capturing family and documenting life, like a camcorder, as a P&S pocket camera & for a bit of talking head videos for UA-cam I’m working on. This new one adds some good stuff, but nothing that really makes me feel a strong need to sell my XV1 and get it, so I won’t upgrade yet…but this is definitely a great choice for vlogging with some cool features.
What would you need to upgrade to change?
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I would say that I would want the lens optically stabilized, the 2.8 aperture at the long end, better battery life and ideally, the same price point as the original. And if we can’t get the lens stabilized or IBIS, I’d at least like to see the regular steady shot with less crop as we saw in the first camera.
Great review
Good one saved me some money on this as I was eager to get the ZV-1 Mark II but after this video I felt the Sony ZV-1 is just going to be fine for vlogs.
great review! planning to buy the zv 1 M2 if only money’s not the problem 😅😭
thank you very much for your sharing this video. it was useful to know it. Thanks a lot! from Vietnam
The only advantage is the battery door/tri pod mounting--a biggie. I use a gimbal so the wider angle is not an issue as with the gimbal, the active stabilization is off on the ZV1. The updated mic is not an issue since I only use the Sony wireless set up. The lens is better on the ZV1. Touch screen is not an issue. Agree, wish the ZV1 II would have done more.
Yeah you’re not alone here. ZV1 is still so good
I prefer the 1/4 20 in the center because I take a lot of low angle shots and often want the camera vertical. I guess for the MII I'd want to see how the screen flips up when vertical in proximity to the balance point.
Had my ZV 1 for a year and I want the m II. The little things like the battery slot inaccessible when on the tripod has always annoyed me
Probably the right question here is should you get the zv-1 or the zv-e10. For the form factor the difference isn't much, but for what you get for the money, the price of zv-1 is steep. With zv-e10 you get a larger sensor, an OK kit lens for which basically like free. Not the mention the freedom and options later on when you yourself "upgrade". I just can't come up with much reason with sanity to go for this one. Yes they are capable machine, I myself shoot with camera like this when I was a kid and I totally enjoyed it. But when you got to choose your own camera and you have other options I just can't see why.
@6:00 its really a big one, the biggest mistake is they did not offer a plug to put a Dummy battery in, the E10 has it. a tough decision it is I love to see my background, and OIS and wider FOV but this makes me think to hold off some
Thanks for your thoughts
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I most likly will get the ZV-1M2 As I got the ZV-1F to hold me off, love it, I hope the Night, low light for the vid is the same, its crisp and clear and perfect. if so then I am in, and no focus hunting Lol
Very helpful, thanks. Just discovered these, surprised to see them tick all the boxes. Can't find anything else in this range with unlimited recording time.
9:43 strong case for the ECM-G1 mic. Other reviewers got decent onboard results indoors but yeah....I'll get a wireless first, to be used on phone and other bodies as well.
11:35 nice, I really don't want to get into LOG LUT LALA at all, 10 profiles and cine vlog mode and touch menus could sway it vs. ZV-1 I for me, taking a look at your video now, thanks.
Hilarious V10 dig btw, lol :)
Good review thanks-zv- e10 all day long considering that price.
I've been lugging my A7siii with 24-70 g master lens around Malaysia for the past three weeks... Love the quality of the a7siii but really starting to think if its necessary to tell travel stories. The Sony ZV-1 M2 could be a game changer for that.
@TedPatrickBaird you meaning that with the Sony ZV mark II we can be chatting more than just recording videos?
A7sIII is for memories and the zony ZV-1-mark II is for chatting. sony ZV1-11 will get you more subscriber than A7sIII. why?
People like to see more talking then just recording. my opinion.
That's a good point. "cinematic travel" has been played out. There's only so many cool drone shots you can watch. People what authentic experiences. That's why these vloggers who have simple rigs like a simple go pro (Dale phillip etc) are gaining so much traction. I hear what you're saying. @@livetodaydietomorrowltdt2405
Six months later have you found any overheating issues with this camera? Appreciate it!
Sony zv 1 series or GoPro 11?
Which one is better?
Are the low light shots good in this Sony camera? And is the stability is like go pro 11?
Question about files on the zv1. Each video comes with an xml. What is it for? Can I delete it or should I transfer it wherever I transfer the video it belongs to?
Can you do cinematic videos with the Sony ZV-1? I just brought this camera a couple days ago to film video at race tracks, i didn't even know this camera was years old. I haven't even used it yet, but I just didnt want to buy iphone 14 pro
Jason which camera for my actor self tapes at home>?? TY asap!
What would be better, the ZV-1 II or the RX100 VII?
Thanks
@JasonMorrisphotocinema
Hello and which camera is good this one> Sony ZV-1 II or this one Sony ZV-1 ?????
Does the ecmg1 capture sound in front of and in back of the camera at the same time?
No. It’s best in front of the camera
Hello brother, please guide me, I am planning to buy a camera for slow motion 960fps, which camera is better for me, sony zv_1 or sony zv_1 Mii or other options?
I want to know about the camera u r using. Plz
Which is best for accurate like for like colour representations? Thank you
Pretty much same
I'd rather save $100 and get the ZV-E10 with kit lens. This is a very lackluster "upgrade" that in someways is a downgrade at the same price point.
I have the ZV-1, the ZV-E10 and the A6600 and the Rolling Shutter and lack of IBIS on the ZV-E10 is pretty bad... If you want to capture moments, while vlogging on the go, I would take the ZV-1. It's super handy and fits into almost every pocket. And as a bigger camera I would wait on newer models that are coming this year.
In some region, You could have zv-e10 with kit lens for 700$ brand new 😅
PHIL MINOR is right, rolling shutter makes ZV-E10 a very bad buy for those who love recording video
@@kiez_insider it's the end of the year and no new model are coming this year.
if you have 4k there cameras on the market to buy. Maybe 2024. I might wait myself a little longer.
I can still using my Panasonic G5. The stabilization so so, but the view finder has a dilate of 1 to 2 seconds,
before it find the face or objective.
The interchangeable lense feature entice me at first, however, I remember that this camera is supposed to be as handy as your Iphone but with higher quality.
So I want to pull out the camera out of my pocket and shoot immediately.
...great shots ,with which camera , which obyektiv did you do that ? best greetings from germany
🤔🤔🤔 f2.8 vs f4, i think zv-1 with wide lens adapter is a better choice.
Hi Jason, maybe you can help me with the following. I am looking for a camera for live recording (up to 2 hrs) that has micro 4/3 or full frame with autofocus, SDI for 4K. Must be a small camera. Thx
What camera and Lens are you using to shoot this video?
Is the battery door removable on the ZV-1 II?
I want to film longer videos. Can I charge the battery while filming?
I want to shoot about 1 hour long videos
love this review as always but got impressed by you daughter's Thailand t-shirt. and yes i'm from Thailand. 😄
Haha that’s awesome. Love Thailand 🇹🇭
Specs please
does this camera have a built-in flash?
It could have a 5 axis stabilisation for Perfect vloging camara.
I was really confused why they even put the mount right next to the battery / sd slot.. it didn't make any sense..
which one do you recommend for food videography ?
Cảm ơn
This may Surprise you, but I'm gonna go with "Sony RX100 vii" because of it's lens versatility, i need that 200mm f2.8 Depth 💙
Good choice actually
you should not make a big deal of the thread. there are bottom plates for ZV1 to deport the bottom thread enabling to have tripod/stick and full battery/SD card access
sorry to disappoint you
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema good video, love your content always on point, I'm disappointed in Sony's 'update' of a great camera
What camera do you use in your office?
Come on Sony lets have a RX0 iii with 18mm wide lens! It would be awesome!
Recoment camera up 1000 fps budget $10000
One of battery of my Sony ZV 1 is not charged by camera, can anyone know reason of same?
So it took them 2 years to put on a wider lens, remove the lens stabilizer, and add their new menu system? Golf clap and pass.
Great review as always tho!
Yeah certainly not what people wanted. What would you have wanted?
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema 4k60, lens stable, doesn't overheat too quickly, that's all 😅
@@tjthedogtrainer they probably can make a camera like that but then they’d probably sell it for 3000$
@Furniturejogot Hace 1 segundo .
Bueno, hermano, ¿puedo hacer un video de la imagen completa del trabajo?
Why no 4k 60 lol I came here first for the real news.
Lol. I was sure I would be buying this, but your right no 4k60 is a bit of a deal breaker . The wide angle is nice though
No 4k 60 or 10 bit. Lots won’t be happy but maybe a new zv-e10 will have better
Its going to be a flop
Hi -- Does the ZV-1 have the tracker feature so it follows you where you go?
no it doesn't. not like ZV-E1
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema So it does or doesn't?
@@shawnsh read the first part of my reply
I prefer the 24mm on the ZV1. The 18mm on the Mark II has too much distortion for my taste.
The Sony ZV1 Mark II is a step up from the original, but, once you turn on the stabilization, the crop you get makes it only a tiny bit wider focal length than the first iteration of this model. Simply put, not different enough to warrant it's high price. Silly toaster filters that scream novice add no value. If you want that cheese you can do it in post with a click. I don't understand the excitement about Canon Powershot V10 either. My prediction is this will go the way of the FLIP cameras. It's a toy let's be honest. Sure, it's cheap, but still is seriously flawed and ridiculously gimmicky. If you buy into the accessories by SmallRig, the thing is no longer stealthy, just butt ugly. An older GoPro has higher specs and quality, and you might even argue, the cell in your pocket produces more pleasing video. I don't understand why none of these companies can get this right. It's maddening. A race to the bottom evidently. Saying here comes this VLOGGING camera is like putting the word KETO on things, some will just buy for that alone. #disappointing #stickwithyourphone #stickwithyourGopro
Canon v10 is on another level
What’s the battery life of these?
still not great. maybe 40-50 mins
so are RX100 prices giing to drop?
You would imagine so
No they are the pocket camera of choice if you want zoom. 24-200mm f2.8-4.5. You need both LOL.
Here is an interesting comparison.
The New ZV-1 II with 18-50 mm (FF equivalent) lens has been priced at 900$.
But if you look at Nikon, they have a Z-30 body which is priced at 600 currently. And a 12-28 mm (18-42 mm FF eq.) lens priced at 350! The whole setup will cost around 950! The lens has 4.5 stops of optical IS which sony one doesn’t. It has better battery. You can interchange lenses when you need. And because it's an apsc, the image quality will be better & better low light performance.
If I have the budget around 900, I think it's better to go with the nikon.
always hated the battery life on the zv1
No built in flash is a bummer
No flash? That’s 2012 kind of features my friend
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema that’s funny because it’s my favorite feature in the Fuji x100 series cameras.
@@one901 oh right. Maybe use fuji. Sony hasn’t done it since pre 2012 in the Nex 5 series. We won’t ever see it again in a Sony camera
I still cant decide even watching this twice hahaha. fml
Please do not but this camera, ONLY if you want to use the 18 mm + crop stabilization all the time , an NO OTHER FOCAL LENGTH. For People who owns the ZV1 it is not worthty ... for new videographers, BETTER the ZV E10 (apsc sensor, interchangable lenses, cheaper) + 11mm f1.8 + 50mm 1.8 lense and just a few dollars more for better ... i dont understand why all my Favorite UA-camrs and recommending the ZV 1 Mark 2 if they know there are better options .. please be real!
Hi -- Does the ZV-1 have the tracker feature so it follows you where you go?
@@shawnsh i think you mean the other one, ZV-E1, which is full frame and costs 2200$
Does anyone vlog these days anyway, the only time I see people vlogging is when content creators are trying “vlog cameras” the lens for me is a downgrade. If I do vlog I always have a tripod selfie stick. I would like the touchscreen capabilities and the Mount screw location, that’s about It otherwise my zv-1 is better. Oh wait “cinematic vlog mode” …..haha what a waste of development time. I can still use the hfr too, I can’t believe they are ditching this😤. If only Sony released firmware for their older cameras like Panasonic did. Even if it’s a paid upgrade for the touchscreen, I would pay that put I’m sure as hell not gonna buy this new camera for it
Your daughter is amazing!
Feel like the original is the better option here
That’s a heck of a downgrade!!! I won’t be even considering upgrading my ZV-1 because it feels DOWNGRADE!!!!!
What would you like in another version?
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema what we were asking since ZV-1 released.
4k60 (they left same shitty 30p)
10bit 4:2:2 (still 8bit 4:2:0)
Better battery (still bad life)
New menu (only thing they did)
Better stabilizer (they completely removed)
Stronger ND (they left same)
Better quality slo-mo (they completely removed it!)
Added some useless “cine” picture profiles
And all this for - MORE MONEY!
This is one hell of a downgrade….! I am genuinely confused what were they thinking… maybe they were confused and wanted to release ZV-1F ii? I don’t understand.
the FOV is much more important for short girls like me
my face will pretty much fill up the screen wih GV-1, even when i try stretching my arms as far as i can😂
This camera is a massive let down. There is no other way to dress it up.
What would you have liked?
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema 4k60 10 bit. The sensor is obviously capable. Overheats sure but I have a custom aluminium base plate that presses up against the back and 100% solves that.
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema the only thing this offers over the OG ZV-1 is the wider lense. This is what the 1F SHOULD have been. They can rename this camera the “ZV-1W” (for wide) 😀
@@JeffBourke haha good name. What else would you have liked in this?
@@JeffBourke Hi Jeff -- Does the ZV-1 have the tracker feature so it follows you where you go?
Wide Angel was supply for therd part lens...40$
And the others news Sony can make and update firmware to achive Better zv1 then zv1 Mark II..
New Sony zv no sens... Sony continue to make bad.. like others Company
Camera are die
Your English are die.
Actually the only case when I'am watching in 4K 60fps is corn videos. So unless you aren't in this industry, you mignt get away with this 😉
No 4K 60? Awwwww hell no!
Pass... The ZV-E1 II's specs are lacklustre.
I'd go with the Canon V10 instead for its better portability and form factor.
Okay but am i the only one noticing that Sony Zv-1 ii is kind of the same as the Zv-1 f???
Definitely not close to that. ZV-1f is very very budget and not really as useful. Different lenses, focussing systems, menus systems, and much more as in the video
canon V10, exactly bro what is that ha ha ha ha ha
A shocking downgrade. Hard pass from me.
On the 50mm active stability the zv1 is more focused than the new version. The focus on this new one looks similar to zv1f. SAD 🥲🥲🥲
The quality is really like zv1f 😢
Hi Alex -- Do you know the ZV-1 has the active tracker feature so it follows where you go?
