[@Divinetruth_7]

Whichever you don’t use anymore send it to me 😂😂😂

[@Dedoosh]

With all you've said, I love the Sony zv1 But is so expensive for me who just started. 😊

[@robinburrill8399]

Dj1 has their own app that you have to download and potential security issues? What about others?

[@aeroblizz1987]

Dji is just on another level for this niche imo. The gimbal, active track, low light performance and ease of use...

[@RoddieSimmons]

Saved me some writing, couldn't've have said it better😎

[@bekkyde_nice]

I just got one I can’t wait to see how it performs compared to the Sony ZV1 I have been using 😊

[@aeroblizz1987]

@@bekkyde_nice I think you will be suprised by the quality. Besides the quality, the portability and ease of use is great. I sold my ZV1, there were not many pro's (for me) to have the ZV1 when you have the pocket 3. The only downside might be the small screensize compared to the ZV1. Oh and stills are better from the ZV1 I guess, but I don't use my videocamera for stills, got my phone for that :D

[@bekkyde_nice]

@@aeroblizz1987 that’s a great idea. I’ll have to trade mine as well 😊

[@RickMcGovern]

@@bekkyde_nicethoughts after almost a couple weeks?

[@user-lw9hc2lz3b]

The DJI also allows you to live stream. And the face tracking (and automatic stabilization) makes this a no brainer for me. I also already own the ZV-1.

[@_Simply.Stephh]

Can I get the one you don’t use as much?🥹

[@nilsquintanilladelmar1432]

Is it possible to use the face tracking while streaming?

[@juhaaavalaakso455]

Everything you said was correct! Real life user experience. In my case it is Pocket 3 CC. Mic, black bag, and handle battery are a must for me.

[@misterlonestar]

I am going with the DJI Pocket 3 because the size seems more discreet. Would love the Sony ZV1 style but I film alot in public with people nearby. Even vloging on my phone people look at me.

[@rodi4850]

no one cares man just vlog with whatever

[@MysticalRoutes]

I recently bought a Sony ZV-1 ii and I like It. Most of the reviews I’ve seen online for the mark ii version are from big content creators who received it from Sony for free just for review purposes so I haven’t actually been able to see legit reviews. I’m so happy to hear more about it here. I bought a DJI pocket 2 a couple of years ago. I like it but yes it is fragile. I broke it once while in Maui but thanks to DJI’s great customer service it was fixed and back in my hands within a week just in time for Christmas! I can only imagine the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is even better. Both would be great options.

[@zaifennty2527]

You did a great job sharing details and comparing cameras! Thanks so much for this video!

[@m.y.o.b6319]

I have all 3 cameras😅 I ❤ them all, each have their unique ways but if I were to choose, I think DJI Osmo Pocket 3 would be my first choice follow-by Canon PowerShot V10 and Sony ZV. Now I leave my Sony ZV camera for home vlog😊 Canon for normal outing or shopping vlog😁 and DJI P3 would definitely be my companion wherever I travel😉🤪

[@ohyoudior]

Which camera would you recommend for a beginner? 🥲

[@sakibhossen1130]

Which camera would you suggest for travel video

[@PradeepKumar-tq4ev]

​@@sakibhossen1130travel means dj pocket 3 as it got gimbal so smooth stabilisation than both without any crop

[@ijessposs]

This video was so beautiful to watch even though I don’t have the money to buy the GjI OSmo pocket 3.May God help us get money to buy some

[@DrunkenDemon]

Bold, invoking a god figure for petty Cash.

[@Nonixification]

Got a Sony a7 IV but I still wanted the Pocket 3. This little gadget is insanely good.

[@cruisingandsnoozing1479]

I started out with the Sony ZV1 (Mk1) and then picked up a DJI Pocket 2 second hand. I find I use the Pocket 2 80% of the time. Despite the fact that I lost the protective cover for the Pocket 2 8 months ago, I still haven't broken it yet. Recently added to my kit is the iPhone 15 which I use when I want the wide angle shot. I lost the wide angle lens for the pocket 2 when i dropped the cover, and I never used to put it on anyway. Each camera has it strengths. The ZV1 for low light and time lapse shots, DJI Pocket 2 for stabilisation and the bluetooth mic, the iPhone for instant access and wide angle shots without changing lenses. The Pocket 2 and iPhone also charge much more quickly than the ZV1. You will need lots of spare batteries with the ZV1. I don't like throwing stuff away, so I will wait until I finally destroy the Pocket 2, and then try and pick up a pocket 3 second hand. (Oh, and I also still use my 10 year old Sony RX100 VERSION 1 for still shots - it is indestructible.)

[@crisrocchi2722]

All these cameras have pros and cons. However, overall in terms of filming quality and price, I think Dji is unmatched. especially at low lights. But even in normal light conditions, especially with the latest update which makes 10-bit D-logM (wonderful!), 10-bit hlg and even normal 10bit color profiles available, all up to 4k 120p! A 4k 120p 10bit profile is truly something amazing for all cameras, especially for a camera with a gimbal that fits in a pocket. Sure, it only has a small 2x digital zoom, but you can make do with it.

[@tailsfromabrokenbrain1983]

I bought the V10, I struggle with technology and have cameras I’ve never used to their best potential because I don’t understand them. I was choosing between V10 and iPhone 15. I don’t need a new phone yet so went with the V10. All I did was charge it before 1st use then turned on and hit record. I love that the screen has a red border that seems to show when your recording, my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be so that’s super helpful for me. The feature I like over my other Canon cameras is I can record up to an hour doing away with the 1/2 hour time limit. As you say it’s easy for a child but also for an old lady with brain damage to get started right out of the box. I love it

[@garygretarsson]

Very happy to read this, I’m glad you shared.. I’m from 1983 too!

[@Fays_Space]

I'm planning to get the dji osmo pocket 3. The features and size are all perfect for my needs.

[@journalentry30]

I currently own a Sony zv1, I love it but am quite shy to pull it out when it comes to vlogging.. I'm looking into getting the Osmo pocket 3 cause I'm thinking about venturing into "walking tour" type videos.

[@SimoneNicoleYoutube]

thanks for sharing! already leaning towards Sony zv1 but this just confirmed it for me! def gonna be purchasing that one! thanks so much this was very helpful.

[@Emhaleshome]

Just got our DJI Pocket 3 and are so excited!

[@marklee7041]

Sony ZV1 Mark II and Sony ZVE10 are both Sony Vlog cameras, but there are some differences between them. First, the ZV1 Mark II is a fixed-lens camera, while the ZVE10 is an interchangeable-lens camera. ZVE10 uses an APS-C sensor, while ZV1 Mark II uses a 1-inch sensor. APS-C sensors are larger than 1 inch and have better dynamic range and low-light performance. Another advantage is that you can have a shallower depth of field (background blur) in your photos and videos. ZVE10 also has faster autofocus performance, longer battery life, and a larger body that can accommodate more buttons for convenient operation. ZV1 Mark II is lighter and smaller, making it more portable. If you need higher image quality and more flexibility, then ZVE10 is the better choice. ZV1 Mark II is the better choice if you need a lighter camera.

[@sylviasworld8838]

I'm glad I came across this video. Thinking about purchasing a pocket camera.

[@officialezmedia]

[@nate_mccallister]

Good tip on used on Amazon. Like New is the same as brand new (it’s supposed to be based on their guidelines).

[@NiyaRison]

I like the dji because I currently have the Sony a7c so I question if getting the zv1 is worth it. The Dji has a lot of great features and it’s way smaller. The canon would be cool for my daughter to use.

[@Otavija.]

Thank you so much for this video❤

[@Utoober-yp7mf]

For vlogging, DJI pocket creative combo has it all. It's a lot lighter than a sony w/ gimbal.

[@Kozette88]

[@anoriginal97]

❓ I have a canon m50 & really looking to upgrade it this year. Trying to get the most bang for the buck & leaning towards the DJI since it has the gimbal & face tracking built in. The color grading is lacking, & really liked the color grading used on the DJI footage in this video. What are your tips on color grading for the DJI?

[@olivedrabgarage6243]

Thanks for the video mate, I saw another KZbin using the DJI camera and thought it looked great. The only thing I really HATE about trying to get your KZbin channel up and running is the initial cost !! That's what has killed my channel at the moment...I need to buy a new laptop and in Australia a 15" Macbook M2 starts at over $2,200 AUD and that DJI camera kit is well over $1,200 AUD. You practically have to take out a personal loan just to buy the stuff...then you need to find a video editing software program and that's extra cost.

[@Motulola]

I always love and learn from your videos❤..but if I may ask? Which of the cameras did you use to create this content? I’m obsessed with the Quality. And which of them would you recommend for content creation on beauty, fashion and TikTok shorts?

[@tiemji]

Cool video. Im really liking the Osmo Pocket 3. Hope top get it soon

[@johnclay7644]

informative vlogging content.

[@lifeofthesanjuans]

I love my DJI OP3. Its super easy to use and i can easily put it away in the case even with the tripod connected to it. The only con for is that its not even water resistant. But other than that its best use for vlogging.

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

Zv10 for me I think. I'm searching for my first camera. Yes I do own a gopro hero 10 black. I need that zooming capability ect. Thanks for your videos.

[@rockinrevivals]

Would be nice if you talked about battery life! 😊I've heard the canon only lasted about an hour of recording time, although some could argue you could just bring an external battery around.

[@hospitalitychronicles]

Which one of these would be better for filming on location and having 2 people with wireless mics? Or would any of these work in those conditions? I have a lot of upcoming podcast episodes that I want to record but so far have been limited to indoor with one mic between two people - not the best but I also don't want to just buy equipment for the sake of buying something. Love your videos, I always learn a lot!

[@andykenny4648]

Hi Omar huge fan of all your videos!! Just wanted to know what do you you as a stand for shotgun mics ie RODE ntg4+ thanks

[@Viral-Food-Travel-Channel]

thanks for the review, i was thinking to invest one for my new channel

[@ThaoVuOslo]

it is useful to know more about these camera, thanks for information👍

[@itsgoldenchains]

So I have a question directed at the DJI Osmo pocket 3 in regards to lighting. For instance, now we have bright external lights that can clip to our phones, or even with the Sony I assume a light can go on the cold shoe mount. Does the DJI have any spots for attaching a light for night shooting?? That's one major thing holding me back if I wanted to vlog a night out.

[@TatianaBalashova]

thank you Omar! love this comparison, wonder though what camera you used for the majority of the footage? :) your daughter is adorable! Re which to choose - in CAD still all of them are quite pricey. ok if you love it but can cost if you don't. I tried Sony ZV1 a few years ago and I did not like the quality as much as people praise it, and photos were not as impressive as well however I suppose you can make use of it for sure considering how compact it is. I returned it because it was hard when menu settings are so much inside the menu and nothing is on the camera (used to canon dslrs but looking for a compact camera). Osmo seems interesting for some things like shooting dancing videos especially and vlogging on the fly so to speak.

[@QueenCashOut]

Thanks for the info. I just started my YT Channels, and I am looking for equipment to produce the best quality videos that I can within my budget.

[@SoCalSurfer69]

Looking at camera for Disneyland vlog. What’s you thoughts on DJI for that? Also would be using for video meetings where I am standing and moving a bit.

[@SangHTX]

The DJI Osmo looks appealing to me as a Vlog camera, since it has a gimble built into it.

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

The dji care package has to be a selling point too ! I’ve totalled £2500 worth of dji drones hand had them replaced without question. So with the osmo it’s a no brainier ! You say the camera is fragile and gimbals definitely are but do the other’s offer the same kind of insurance. They could have just given it a bigger battery though, and some waterproofing too, that’s one of dji’s downfall. They don’t like moisture, and we get quite a bit of it in the uk 😂😂😂 also what are the downloading aspects of these cameras like, is one easier to get on your laptop to edit than the others ?

[@DomingaShataun]

WAIT! Do which camera are you using at the start of the video ?? That’s was beautiful

Love your videos. I just have to say that in Czech rep zv II is 1100$ - for bad stab. , 24mm after active and extremely poor battery, you just cannot fight with pocket 3 for vlogging in this universe :D I had both of these cameras (still place in my heart for zv series), now i got DJI and its crazy good. Canon seems like joke to me in this comparsion (maybe for child is perfect i have to admit)

Currently right now I have a Canon power shot elf 190 IS and I’ve had it for.

I’m not sure what to use exactly.
