Dude, you are hilarious, I hope you never change. I was having a crappy day until I watched your video. Thank you.

[@JustAaronJoshua]

For a camera with a gimbal built in, d-log, 4k 120fps for 4-5x less of a price compared to the zv-e1, it’s an amazing value. Plus it’s smaller, lighter and you can mount it to almost anything without the bulk.

[@JohnAndTheBeanstalk]

It says cinematic. There is nothing cinematic about a camera that is not capable of subject background separation.

[@JustAaronJoshua]

There is more to having a cinematic look than just blurry background friend.

[@JohnAndTheBeanstalk]

@@JustAaronJoshua yes there is. But that’s where it STARTS

[@JoeSzilagy]

@@JohnAndTheBeanstalk The Pocket 3 can get 'some' Bokeh in certain situations.

[@DigiDriftZone]

It’s great for what it is but I find it impossible to get natural sky colours, even on the DJI Mini4 and Action4, the sky always looks a weird almost cyan blue. DJI need a DLogM2 to address this.

i freakin love this guy the most entertaining reviews that ive watched

[@ml.2770]

I prefer the larger depth of field on the dji for street blog so stuff in the background is in focus but the Sony is a killer setup. Both of these cameras are fantastic. 9:26 Wow

[@mjklein]

The chromatic aberration at 1:58 (look at the far right edge) is why I did not get the anamorphic lens. I use the Black Mist for everything though. What it does to highlights and especially the sun, is magical. I shot some women talking on the beach with the sun behind them in the frame and it was so cinematic I forgot I was using a camera that looks more like a flashlight than a camera. Thanks for this review Kasey!

[@profdiniz]

DJI pockert 3 is insane for the price. But, the ZVE1 is a beast but it comes with 4x the price. I do own both and love them.

[@BogdanGraurNetwork]

If you were to pick one, for the beginning, what would that be?

[@kean4582]

@@BogdanGraurNetworkfor a beginner, the pocket 3 hands down. For vlogging, that’s all you’ll need. If you want to try a mirrorless camera, get an apsc first. I have an apsc, and I have never brought it outside since getting the pocket 3.

[@cameraconspiracies]

Always 240fps.

[@MX-CO]

Awesome this is the comparison i wanted

[@saxophonistscorner]

I have both now (was holding out for an A7S3 but they were still full price & the 4 didn't seem to be coming, so picked up the pocket, but then the ZVE1 went on sale, lol), they're awesome, but for different things. One amazing thing about the Pocket is the form factor. You can get a clip/arm & attach it to a music stand, or a table off in the corner, to record yourself, your band etc., without drawing as much attention to the camera as you would with a bulky camcorder, let alone a full frame mirrorless w/lens, screen open etc... It's also great with the app, you can aim the pocket remotely, so while it's attached to a wall, you can move the camera around & frame your shot, sound is pretty decent too. Also, when walking around, you can hold it with your arm down & the lens pointing forward, and its just this little thing protruding, like you're holding a candy bar. Having said all that, the look of the zve1 is amazing... Love your content man!

[@thebentzenable]

Very good and interesting episode today 👍😍 Love Toronto people and the music 🎵🎶❤️!

[@RuffRhyno]

Sony looked great in talking head shots, but the DJI street walking was superior, especially surprised at the 3D pop look of the slo-mo DJI!

[@MollyFitzBrown]

I got the DJI and haven't brought my Sony out for an on the go vlog with me since... the sony looks better for sure but its so much heavier! You had me cracking up with the Disney stuff, I live near Disney World and vlog there a lot lol and I'm not on an all soup diet but my arms are very weak lol

[@TravelsByTrike]

I have never understood why anyone would buy an interchangeable lens camera for vlogging. Action 4 or Osmo Pocket 3 wins for convenience, DJI mic 2 audio, and image stabilization. Why even put the Pocket on a selfie stick?

[@cameraconspiracies]

Some have a taste for finer things :)

[@adz-ql6kv]

dude these cameras didn't exist a year ago. people bought interchangeable cameras because they were the only cameras that brought you broadcast or close to broadcast quality to the consumer. it's all new tech and pocket 3 is the only pocketable camera that has a “one-inch“ sensor with a picture quality that's close to mirror less. ... I put the pocket 3 on a selfie stick because there's 4 microphones and eventually one of my fingers will hit one of those the mics everytime without fail. ... It's also terrible in the wind and I need to come up with a workable solution.

[@MrKuken911]

The use of a selfie stick with the OP3 is a must, for tons of reasons. I have a year of intensive use with my OP3 and I can’t live without a selfie stick in many situations. That said, except for portability, discretion and ease of use, Sony wins. It is more fun, offers more control and is WAY more versatile.

[@fabian_99]

cool slow mo comp

[@Bueolmutz]

The links are broken (at least the first one is) I really enjoyed this episode. I cold tell you had a lot of fun making it. The music was very nice. And the beauty comparison was adorable. (Calm down casey, I'm a dude) I had a break from your channel, but I came back. Because you have such a nice easygoing vibe. I believe you will be part of the future! (You know what I'm taking about.. :P ) I think I will go check out that black guru of yours. He looks like a piece of work

[@djvidual8288]

I really don't like the colors of the DJI but seems like there is still more dynamic range. For the slowmo shots I think it comes to personal preference. I enjoyed the DJI shots more because you have less toneh and you can see more things happening in the background.

[@SirJamesX]

Bros face blended in with the background at 14:41 with the Sony. 🤦‍♂️ how do you turn background blur off, can you even turn it off?

[@daviddrew7624]

Your wife to be is probably having second thoughts😂😂😂😂

[@PaulHolmes-l6g]

I have both for different use cases. For most of my KZbin I'll use the ZVE1 and for really good vacation videos, hotel reviews etc. But sometimes you just need the smaller camera. For example I am going to Abu Dhabi- they get funny about 'professional' cameras. Or I don't want any hassle- going on a business trip next week and wanting to film my new EV and how it does on range- cant be bothered taking the full camera for that I don't think so will use the DJI. They complement each other nicely. If i am intending to shoot a lot of low light I would not even begin to take the DJI.

[@geekcommentator8567]

The Sony definitely zooms (it is a setting you can turn off in stabilization) and another thing that can help with the Sony is register your face. It used to only work for photos, but with the AI chip it also works with videos.

[@petersuvara]

Image quality easy win for Sony. For vlogging, if you're running around, the DJI Pocket 3 does the job. But the colours are real bad on DJI.

[@sjuhav]

DJI Pocket rules for street videos, imho the footage seems more pleasing, especially when doing a 180 from the selfie mode. For a Type 1 inch sensor, it does magic. But if you like bokeh backgrounds then of course the ZV-E1 takes the crown.

[@sjuhav]

Totally agree Silbay

[@koenignero]

@@silbay Exactly.

[@ScorpionRanchTX]

What is this witchcraft of tracking without a gimbal on the ZVE1?

[@colinhoward2200]

It always amuses me a bit when people get so worked up about video specs, when most people end up watching posts from KZbin videos on pretty bad screens, and end up skipping through the footage anyhow. Most people do not watch KZbin videos on reference grade monitors! Also sound and what people are saying is usually more important than the footage itself from a Vlogging perspective?

[@saxophonistscorner]

When I started this video I thought, wow they both look like complete 💩, then I noticed youtube had my auto resolution set at 720p, lol

[@twobikesandadrone]

You crazy.....and you make some great points along the way! Thinking the Pocket 3 will add some options for my channel that my GoPros can't, and then I'll reward myself with a ZV-E1 when/if I ever get over 500 subscribers!!! Then, lookout KZbin land!!!

[@charliejg]

This is the comparison I was waiting for. Is it a fair comparison given the tony levels available? When you weigh cost and size vs. performance that DJI is hard to beat. Love the rubber boots guy! Why is that guy walking behind you with his hand in his pocket? Seems like what you need is a good pancake size lens for that Sony so you don't have a bazooka hanging off of it. THEN, you're talkin'. How long until you get a white skin for that Sony? Fun times, have a rockin' day!

[@bestcameralens]

Oh wow that flicker is so distracting. I do preffer the wide angle on that cinematic slomo. Great job!

[@piotr803]

Did we have a Sony zve1 and Nikon z6 iii showdown yet?

[@dj_DERANGED]

6:45 Is this a new track by you? I love it and I don't think I have heard it before in a past video. I really dig all of your music actually, can you link to your music page? Thanks for all the great content!

[@ShadesOClarity]

I like the sharpness, color science, stabe and frame rate of the Pocket 3. I think it looks better. However, the Sony does give some warmth and Toneh. I think the Dji looks better with the lens change, in my opinion. I think the Dji wins for overall utility but only for vlogging.

[@yhereynowyme]

I'd like to see a ZVE1 comparison, with and without the glimmer glass, outdoors and in daylight,

[@JesseHall-gd4sd]

Vlogging in the streets with two cameras is usually your most entertaining content I think, it’s where your natural talents shine through the most in my opinion. Just wanted to let everyone know my opinion. Bye now.

[@WasionKey]

wish you would have put the nd on the pocket 3 and shoot in log.

[@cameraconspiracies]

I did shoot in log. ND would just have lower shutter speed.

[@WasionKey]

@@cameraconspiracies yes, achieving maximum TONEH!

[@samuelsmith6804]

Does the pro mist filter have a magenta tint, or is this a sony colour thing? Other than the tint it looks a lot better.

[@barryobrien1890]

Thankfully the mimes have been replaced by Spiderman.

[@iamionscat9035]

Indoors, 4:23, I think it's the DJI reaction to LED lighting - it freaks out for me under bright LEDs and gives the rolling shutter look under like 10K lumens. Also, I can't figure out how to zoom it in slow motion, I don't think it does it. Final DJI complaint is that it is only runs via an app. I think you're right in that the DJI is AWESOME for vlogging but outside of that it gets its butt kicked.

[@Michael-fw5ef]

The ZVE1 has better image quality, but the pocket camera has better framing because it gives a perfect distance from the camera.

[@Travel-vlogKent-zv9hb]

Nice video, I use osmo 3. Easy to work with.

[@DadRandom]

I am a pocket 3 user and am in the market for the ZVE1 for an A cam. Pocket 3 does a better job than you think with skin tone. My suggestion is that my favorite camera guy here eat a steak or 2 to balance things out. 😂 Gen X advice.

[@costagf]

Why does the DJI look so deep focus / everything in focus? I'm asking because I've seen videos where the 1" and f2 lens achieves some background blurriness at similar distance as seen here

[@cameraconspiracies]

I'm holding it further away with a selfie stick.

[@intothevideoverse]

When all was said and done these are the two cameras I ended up with. With a few lenses for the Sony I’m pretty content for a while. Hopefully they don’t roll out a Pocket 4 anytime soon 😬

[@hifi-photo-Brian]

Hello Casey, I have been looking for the perfect camera that can do great Landscape Astrophotography time-lapse video's straight out of the camera without having to do it manually in post, any camera suggestions?

[@Fadescape]

Hoenstly, for bright days, you need and ND filter on the DJI for llke $20

[@schoeferfilm]

Comparing the two cameras is difficult. Both are good, but have different purposes for me. Actually, the ZVE1 is not a vlogging camera at all, but a real camera beast for content creators. I work with interchangeable lenses in full format. Comparing it with the pocket would be unfair. Both are incredibly good cameras, but it just depends on what you want to do

[@Luap-ls3ix]

I was low key holding out for the DJI to be the underdog here but that low light test was abysmal 😂

[@brianpark2564]

You can throw a 16mm 2.8 pancake on the zv-e1. Btw was the low light comparison done with dji low light mode?

Does the DJI shoot LOG, or at least a flat profile? If so, why haven't you tried it? Thanks. [Edit: I just got to the part where you said the DJI doesn't expose for your face in LOG. So, NM.] The Sony has a better picture. But its weight makes it a no-go for vlogging. I personally vlog with a GoPro 12 and Ulanzi handle. It's actually pretty good for what I do.

[@wakeywarrior]

The DJI is a great little camera, but there’s no comparison in video quality with a ZVE1, particularly in low light.

I like the DJI for vlogging better. I’m not a blurry background for vlogging guy. Plus the sky is blue. Just as long as you can keep your face lit up. For everything else, the Sony wins. So keep both.

[@saxophonistscorner]

@@silbay I do, if I expose for the subjects the background washes out & if I expose for the background the subject are underexposed. My iPhone does some vibe where it seems to composite several shots together instantly. How do you get the equivalent with a regular camera? Multiple pictures and stack them later?
