Sony - ZV-1 20.1-Megapixel Digital Camera for Content Creators and Vloggers - Black

It is a fantastic camera for Vlogging for YouTube product reviews for fun, family photos in general photography and have so many features and some very advanced settings as well. Excellent quality.

If you're on the fence - get off and get one. It does suck that you can't monitor audio (no jack), but perhaps they can eventually include Bluetooth audio support in a future firmware update. This being said, I've learned to trust the audio both on the camera and with an external mic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Top choice for all new, rising and professional influencers! ! When I tell you the video quality is A1 it TRULY is! Personally, the type of content you like to shoot is primarily product reviews along with shooting a vlog of my life raising two special needs boys. An impressive feature which I use for "selfies" is the vari-angle LCD screen. Upgrades from my current camera are the two features of Automatic Exposure and Auto Focus settings. The video stabilizer that is built in is perfect for shaky hands. The personalized settings are amazing too like auto- focusing on products was a breeze and it auto adjusted to my face right after! Still shots look like I had an entire studio set up with the auto exposure it was perfect every time. Recording action moments are easy to slow down too. Allowing me to see each moment play by play at my friend's wedding during cake cutting. No one wants to miss the quick moment of smashing cake on one another. The versatility that the VZ-1 has is all you every expected plus. It makes the transition of being behind the lens capturing moments to vlogging an easy switch. If you vlog/record often the accessory kit is a must! Holding the tripod/wireless remote with the contoured design makes balancing the camera easy. Aside from being a camera, video camera, video blogging camera this Sony Vlog camera is a professionals tool for their ‘toolbox' when creating content or applying for campaigns and jobs. Highly recommend!

A list of flaws: - Needs a mode for continuous power - should have been usb-c - price is too high - can't use touch screen for menu - needs wider lens - active stabilization crop is too much - 4k crop is annoying - once again... why on earth is it using usb micro in 2020? - lastly I repeat please have an option for continuous recording with constant power from wall outlet without being forced to leave battery inside...

So far the camera has been very complicating for me on how to use it. It has so many different small buttons and different settings that it is a nightmare to learn how to use it.
