ZV-1 II | Premium Hybrid Travel Camera (1-inch Stacked Sensor, Wide-Angle Zoom Lens, 20MP Stills & 4K Video, Seamless Smartphone Transfer)

Camera is honestly really good quality, its my first digital camera ever and I found it quite easy to work with. Im watching tutorial videos on YouTube to try different settings

I ordered this camera to record family outings as well as giving them vlogging commentary. The camera is perfect for this, it has a fold out screen on the rear that can fold out 180 degrees so you can see yourself whilst recording. Watching back my recordings I was immediately struck by how high the frame rate is. As the camera pans slightly every single pixel remains crystal clear. This is excellent for vlogging as you are walking and also especially useful for fast paced action scenes such as sporting events. The auto focus works really well too, the subject remains in clear focus whilst the background is blurred so make the subject stand out. The sound quality also is exceptional, I cannot fault this camera at all. An excellent buy for anyone wanting to start an online video channel.

As an Youtuber and content creator, I need a easy to use compact camera but it also need to yield professional grade photos and 4k video results. I had the opportunity to use the Sony ZV1 II for the past 4 weeks and, and I must say, this camera has exceed my expectations. There are a few things which still cause me a lot of frustration but as a Vlog camera which is pocket size and entry level price point it is already very promising. The Lens is now wide enough to be used as a hand held arms length selfie camera, even with super stabilization on and it crop into the footage there is still enough space to cover the background and nice size of my face on screen. The 3 built in mic now is smart and will auto switch depends on what is on the screen view, it works really well when I was out with my family where I was talking behind the camera and my subject in front etc. The audio came out perfect and I did not sound like behind a brick wall like the ZV1 last gen. The 1/4 tripod mount is now on the side and away from the battery door, we can access the SD card and battery with out having to take the camera off the tripod. Touch screen is responsive and the fully flip out screen works well for selfie or doing video at low angles. However, since it use the same battery as the last generation EV1 the operation time per battery is poor. A fully charged battery yield only 40 minutes of record time for me. There is also the issue of overheating while in 4k30 recording mode, flipping out the screen during recording does help but it cuts out at around 40mins which really limits what I can do filming pod cast or longer videos. Switching off stabilization and using 4k24 or reduce res to 1080p will stop the overheating. These happens at 24c temperature of UK and not hot climate. Photos are sharp and focus at video and photo are super fast! Product showcase is what I get the ZV1 for and this camera does it better than anyone else. I will need to find a solution for the low battery life or else this will not be my main camera, it can accept charging via the USBc port so there is hope for me. I will update this review in due course. I hope my review and video is helpful for you. Thank you

I love the Sony Vlog Camera ZV-1 II. It has won me over with its wider lens, impressive sensor and video capabilities. It’s got smart features via its Bluetooth and wireless connectivity via Sony’s fantastic creators mobile app and the classic high end build quality Sony cameras have a reputation for. It’s not perfect however and certainly not a justified upgrade from the equally impressive original ZV1 camera in my opinion. The biggest drawback is the lacklustre battery life. The ZV-1 II offers a lot of camera and features - and the tiny battery struggles to keep up and is quick to drain. I count myself very lucky if I get near a couple of hours video recording out of a full battery and that’ll only happen if you use it in the most optimum way possible. The build quality is exceptional and the quality of both the photos and videos are top notch, worthy of posting. The LCD touchscreen does feel a little old technology compared to the sensors and software around it admittedly but the benefit is that if you’ve used a digital camera before, you’ll be able to use it instantly. The lens design is super impressive. It features a wide 18mm field of view that really opens up the creative possibilities but having no optical image stabilisation unfortunately means when you engage active stabilisation you’re stuck to a cropped 23mm full frame equivalent, which is a bit of a shame. Video footage makes the 20 megapixel CMOS sensor sing but 4K recordings are limited to 30 frames per second, which is absolutely fine for product showcases but will be restrictive where your in scenarios that every frame counts. The app is good but not as social friendly as it could be for VLogging centred camera. If you’re looking for a digital camera that can genuinely help with your vlogging workflow, the ZV-1 II is certainly a fantastic choice. The Sony Vlog Camera ZV-1 Mark II is a fantastic digital camera that can get the best out of your vlogging setup. Despite a few flaws, I am really impressed and can really recommend it.

I already loved the mk1 so jumped at the chance to test the mk2 and it's even better, the first thing is they have moved the tripod mount so I can change the battery and sd card even with this mounted on a tripod, the mk1 I had to remove it from the tripod, this mk2 has the same great image sensor but the biggest difference is this gives 18mm at the wide end which is amazing for vlogging, I would say this is now truly the best vlogging camera out there, the 18mm gives you a wide enough view for two people and plenty of background to show your environment, autofocus on this is also much improved and now has an s&q mode too. Another bonus is all the accessories for my mk1 fit this mk2 so I'm very happy, top marks from me, Sony have really listened to mk1 owners and made the most important upgrades to this mk2, buy with confidence.

Excellent pour le vlogging mais pas prévu pour des objectifs interchangeables. J'ai finalement opté pour un appareil plus adapté à mes besoins. Mais rien à dire contre celui-ci.

selamlar urunle birlikte sarj kablosu , adaptor vs gelmedi . kutu iceriginde mi yok ???

Ich bin wirklich erstaunt, wass sich so bei den kompakten Kameras getan hat! Ich habe eine Nikon D7100, welche wirklich toll, aber teilweise zu klobig war. Deshalb habe ich mir für Ausflüge diese leicht Kamera zugelegt. Nach einerkurzen Eingewöhnungsphase bin ich sehr überrrascht, wie sich die Technik hier weiterentwickelt hat! Es macht richtig Spaß, mit dieser Kamera zu fotografieren. Was ich jedem ans Herz legen kann, ist eine L- Halterung. Ich habe hier von NEEWER eine gakauft und kann nur sagen, dass sich die Haprik dadurch sehr verbessert hat, da die Kamera nun ja doch sehr kompakt ist. (Siehe Fotos) Ich für mich ist diese Kamera für meinen Einsatzzweck perfekt und würde mir diese so wieder kaufen!

quality is sometimes nice, but not so good with pictures. Tried a lot of settings and even resetted the whole cam, but the pictures turns out very dark. The lense makes noises while filming (zooming in). Wind cap has lost a lot of fur already and ... THE BATTERY, dont get me started. Its empty super fast!! And the cam will say it is a full battery but is empty within an half hour. Sad i missed my retour date. Only tip i can give you is buy extra battery :) and dont put it in your bag or jacket, cus it will go on automatically sometimes
