Why We Like Sony ZV-1

The Sony ZV-1 is a compact digital camera packed with several practical features. Its 20.1MP 1″ Exmor stacked RS CMOS Sensor is capable of producing neat results. The Zeiss 24-70mm equivalent lens attached to the camera has a bright maximum aperture (f/1.8-2.8 ), and it is capable of producing very pleasing results. Its real-time AF and tracking system works very well, even under testing situations.

Furthermore, the camera is supported by Active SteadyShot image stabilization, which wards off extreme camera shake for smoother results. It features a fully articulating touchscreen and a directional microphone positioned near its flash Hotshoe. The Sony ZV-1 can record UHD 4K video at 30p and offers a range of useful video features.

However, portability is Sony ZV-1 real superpower. Weighing only 294 g, the camera is pocketable and can easily qualify as an ideal carry-around camera. Ergonomically, the camera is easy and intuitive to handle, featuring well-placed buttons and controls. While you read this, don’t miss out on checking out our Black Friday page. It has many more discounted rates on photography gear.

The post The Nifty Sony ZV-1 Compact Camera Gets an 11% Price Drop appeared first on Imaging Resource.

Here’s a little surprise from Sony. Literally! Though we are still awaiting the arrival of the A7S II successor, Sony has nevertheless surprised us with another high-powered video-centric camera, this time in a compact and pocketable RX100-like form-factor. Meet the new Sony ZV-1.

Though the model name is quite different, the new ZV-1 does indeed share quite a bit with its RX100 siblings, particularly the RX100 VII in terms of sensor and processor, and the earlier RX100 V with its 24-70mm eq. f/1.8-2.8 zoom lens. However, while these RX100-series cameras have always been geared more towards photographers, despite their healthy video features, the new ZV-1 is essentially the opposite. It’s a pocketable, premium compact camera tailored for video content creators, particularly run-and-gun video shooters, vloggers and YouTubers looking for a camera that’s capable, easy to use and lightweight.

Sporting the same imaging pipeline as the RX100 VII — a 20MP 1-inch-type stacked CMOS sensor with onboard DRAM and a fast BIONZ X image processor with front-end LSI — the ZV-1 offers an impressive array of video performance on paper (and stills-shooting capabilities, too, in case you’re curious). It can shoot unlimited 4K video, high-speed Full HD video, offers Real-Time Eye AF tracking in video, supports HLG/HDR video and has S-Log3/2 picture profiles. Going further, the ZV-1 offers new video recording features not offered elsewhere in Sony’s camera line, including an on-demand Background Defocus mode and a new Product Showcase focusing mode.

Beyond the internals, the physical design of the camera offers amenities that video shooters should find pleasing, especially compared to the RX100-series. There’s a rubberized handgrip, a front REC tally light and a side-ways flip-out touchscreen display. Gone are the pop-up EVF and pop-up flash, and in their places are a Multi-Interface shoe for external microphones (there’s also a 3.5mm mic jack) and a large, built-in 3-capsule microphone with detachable windscreen.

What’s more, while Sony’s RX100-series have long commanded fairly premium price points, especially with the latest-generation model, with MSRPs reaching the $1000 mark if not higher, the new Sony ZV-1 is debuting with a more palatable $799.99 price and should be hitting store shelves in early June.

For all the details on this new video-centric compact camera, head over to our Sony ZV-1 Preview!
