Choosing the Perfect Small Video Camera: Sony ZV-1 vs. ZV-1 II

[@LozsLeisure]

Hey Chris, thanks for the nice vid! I'm looking to get back into vlogging again and was nicely surprised to see the new and updated version of my trusty ZV-1 - now with a wider lens (THANKFULLY - that crop always sucked). My question is - do you think even with the lack of IBIS that the stabilisation is comparable between the ZV-1 and the ZV-1 II? I really want to have the wider angle but as a bit of a run and gun shooter the stabilisation is key too. My thoughts were that the fact it has some stabilisation and it's wider - maybe together it seems like the stabilisation is broadly similar? I'd love to get your opinion before I commit though! Thanks in advance 🙏

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the advice😜

[@chris-mueller]

No problem 😊

[@OHDENNIKA]

what separate mics do you recommend ? (especially for noisy settings)

[@chris-mueller]

For this camera, it's hard to find anything that fits well on it, so I would get something like a DJI Mic (DJI Mic 2 is supposed to come out on Jan 17, so that might be worth waiting for) or Røde Wireless ME or GO II. There is also the Sony ECM-G1, which is at least somewhat small. There are a lot of good mic reviews on youtube, so I would suggest going for the one that sounds best to you, shotgun or lav mics would be best for noisy scenarios.

@CHRIS MULLER ? CAN YOU DO A TEST THE SONY ZV1 MARK 2 VS Panasonic Lumix S9 Mirrorless Camera. want to buy a camera don't know which one is better for vlogging ? And to take just regular photos.

[@chris-mueller]

They’re totally different cameras to be honest, so it’s hard to compare them. S9 will be much more expensive and bigger, so you’d have to be okay with those restrictions, the ZV1 is super convenient since it is very small and comparatively cheap.
