Sony's MASSIVELY UNDERRATED camera!

[@philipbloom]

Thanks for all the wonderful comments; they mean a lot to me. Here's a direct link to the EVF petition. Please sign it, thank you! Philip www.change.org/p/please-sony-make-an-mi-shoe-oled-evf-for-your-cameras-like-you-used-to

What do you think about Ricoh GR IIIX and APS-C at all? Thanks in advance.))

[@brianbarnes4437]

Hi I'm really struggling to sign the petition. All I get is a rotating loading symbol. Tried 3 different browsers.

[@brianbarnes4437]

on the phone at least I get the sign this petition button but it doesnt work!?

[@philipbloom]

@@brianbarnes4437 I've no idea. sorry!

[@MorrisGruiters]

Totally agree and signed it, this should just be an optional upgrade. I am using a Kamerar CVF-1 now to bypass it a bit, but an actual EVF would be so much better still. Thanks Philip!

[@MckenzieReive]

I'm so sorry for your loss Phillip. Following you over the years it is very clear how much you loved your father and how much he loved you. One of my favorite quotes from you is this: "My dad came home ever day miserable... hated his job, and it wasn't a horrible job he just didn't like it. That's the key thing you need to be in it for the right reasons." That impacted me completely and I related closely with that and I believe I always will. You may never know this Phillip, but you are truly one of my biggest inspirations in life. Just as I assume your father is to you. I imagine he's up there smoking a nice tall cigar, Cheers to that beautiful man now in the heavens. Rest in Peace, Arnie Bloom.

[@philipbloom]

Thanks so much for this wonderful comment. Means a lot to me.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Philip. Nothing but good thoughts coming your way.

[@TheSangjy]

I am sad to hear your loss Phillip. With you your dear subscribers.

[@James.Buchanan]

I'm a simple man. I see a new video from Philip, I watch it. As always, filled with useful information and entertainment. Thank you for continuing to bless us with your talent, even when times get tough. I truly hope things are less difficult for you and your family going forward.

[@stanleyfamUK]

Sorry for loss Philip, he clearly did a great job as a Dad. Mine passed away a couple of years ago, I wrote this at the time, “My Dad’s love, a guiding star, so bright, illuminates my path, through day and night.” It helped come me come to terms and that star stills guides me and shines so bright.

[@poloreacts27]

Condolences Phillip

[@Galgomite]

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I can forever see his face, dramatically lighting up, in various low light tests. You are wise to appreciate your family as you do.

[@mohdnohibrahim7132]

Thank you so much for visit Malaysia.

[@ivanyang2022]

Sorry for your loss, Phillip. You made wonderful film and I have learned alot from your videos. You made your dad proud

[@AtentieCadMere]

By seeing you and how you filmed your father, he must have been a great one. I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing him and thank you for the reviews. Over the years you helped me choose, in order, the Sony a7s, Panasonic gh4, gh5, sony a7s III, dji mini 3 pro, sony fx6, and just now this zv-e1. I loved every camera, but had to sell everything to get the fx6. It was so worth it for run and gun mostly solo. But big lenses kinda ruined that for me (150-500 mm and 105mm f1.4) had to put a cage, it got big and too obvious. This zv-e1, solved that, it's an accessory to the lens :D I miss nothing from the a7sIII which I sold as used for more than the zv-e1 cost new. Thank you for the time and patience to make these videos, they must have helped a lot of people.

[@philipbloom]

Thanks you so much. That’s very kind of you!

[@laurenthenry]

Would you use the ZVE1 for long interviews ? taking into account it overheats in certain condition ? I'm torn because I don't make enough money with my fx3 and the ZV-E1 would be a better choice, especially because I travel a lot and need light gear. And the stab is better so I won't need gimbal as much anymore. This and other features like animal AF and synchro scan.

[@AtentieCadMere]

@@laurenthenry for interviews I would go for something else. Fx30, a7sIII … mine overheats in 25 minutes in a comfortable temperature for me 24-26 c. It works for the way I record, stop and start, but it would not for a long interview.

[@Cheryl407]

I love your videos, your vision touches my heart. When I lost my parents I felt I had walked through an arch and came out into a different landscape, a new permanence. Mortality hit me like a brick. I lost my dad 17 years ago and still feel his presence. I just bought you PB gold filters. I am a fledgling videographer and at my age might not get much further, but I’m going back to the Mara and so want to capture the big cats with the gold diffusion. Sending you love.

[@philipbloom]

Thanks Cheryl. Appreciate the thoughtful words x

[@possumheadcarpentry]

you will always have the memories throgh your videos of your dad, condolences

[@ninja_sound]

I'm sorry for your loss. ❤ I watched your film with your dad and what a wonderful storyteller he must have been. What a gem you two have created for you and your family to watch and cherish his memory. I tremendously enjoy watching your work and as an amateur videographer, I just try to take in all the good tips and good vibes you're sharing. You're a big inspiration to me. I lost my father many years ago and have only but fond memories of him. Time is a healer. ❤

[@JeanMarcAbela]

Sorry for your loss Phillip. Send you and close ones lots of love in this most important moment in your lives. Thank you for all that you’ve shared over the years.

My condolences Philip. Came for the camera, subscribed for the classical music. It has brought back much memories of my childhood.

[@jorgealbertomartinezortiz374]

Sorry for your loss Phillip, hope that time helps you and your family to heal and remember him as the great man I’m sure he was.

[@bondgabebond4907]

Very sorry to hear of your father's passing. Keep him in your heart. The pain will go away but his memory won't. You make a great point of recording your family through photos and videos, now that we have great technology to use. I do that now and have been for many years. It's wonderful to see those we love, those who were good friends and those we have no idea who they are. We also remember the good times with those who passed away.

[@yosuhanverdecia]

Very Sorry for your loss Philip

[@ColeBlack699]

I lost my mum recently and there are no words. So sorry for your loss. Been a fan since the 5D days and always loved the content with your dad. It’s clear you had a great relationship. Thinking of you 🙏

[@SoulMedia1]

I resonate with all of the comments about your loss Phillip . ❤

[@gravitymediapro]

I’m very sorry for your loss. You can absolutely see pain in your eyes. You’re a man that I like and respect, and love your videos. We see eye to eye on many things, including this camera. I have the white one. Your dad will always be proud of you, and your kind heart.

[@philipbloom]

Thank you. I would love the white one myself. I expect Sony will finally take this one back now!

My condolences Phillip. Thanks for another great video.

[@vn6047]

I'm sorry for your loss 😔 Life is so fragile and unpredictable. You've already given us all so much insight and teachings about the craft, absolutely no need to feel bad about taking time off when it's needed. I'm grateful for every review and tutorial you've done and will do in the future, Thank You sir! Btw that 1000fps cat shot was amazing!

[@joshuasousa]

Phillip, I lost my father just a few months ago suddenly to a heart attack. I truly know the pain you must be feeling. I have been following you for years and you have inspired me in my work. Sometimes I watch just to listen to your choice of music in your videos. Prayers and hugs from a cross the pond here in the US. 🙏

[@philipbloom]

Thanks Joshua. I am so sorry for your loss

[@KeithSklower]

I too wish to convey my condolences on your loss; but I also wanted to say how *brilliant* the choice of the waltz from Swan Lake was from 16:04 to 17:00 ... had me laughing out loud the whole time.

My condolences for you and your family. 🙏🏾

[@joebyvictor2619]

Philip, I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you are OK. I lost my mum last week suddenly, I’m still in total shock and almost don’t believe it’s happened, I know the coming months (and years) are going to be so tough. So I’m sending you love as someone now going through something similar, and my thoughts are with you ❤ Thank you for continuing to produce amazing content on here for us. We really do appreciate it, you’re a talented and top bloke.

[@philipbloom]

I am so so sorry Joeby. With dad we had at least been expecting it for some time so were somewhat mentally prepared. Wishing you much strength over the coming weeks and months.

[@just_inhawaii]

Sorry for your loss. I just recently made a video with my dad. Just because. Glad I did it. Thanks for all you do.

[@NeilEvery]

So sorry for your loss Philip. I went through the same thing a couple of years ago. There are good days, there are bad days, but it does get easier with time and reflection.

[@marshallartsentertainment3741]

My condolences to you, sir. 🙏🏾

[@capturedbymili]

I am deeply sorry for your loss Philip 🙏 I share the same sentiment as everyone here: I have thoroughly enjoyed and learned from you videos over the years. I'm very grateful that you continue to put out these amazing videos even through these difficult times. 💛 You're a true inspiration to us all.

[@paulgero]

I'm very sorry for the loss of your Dad Philip. Sending prayers to you and your family.

[@davisfan]

Just two things. Your dad's portrait on the old A7S review is for some reason ingrained in my memory, and the time he helped on your slow mo ice bucket challenge. I know I wish I were that close to my father. I celebrate the images you made of him, they come from love, and a loving family is a treasure like very few. I'm sorry for your loss, and happy for the beauty you have lived. And, I love my A7rV. I know it has flaws, but it's my personal favorite. Those stills are too good to be true.

[@-AtomsPhere-]

Same! That footage came to mind right away.

[@DiveHard]

I’ve been following you for over a decade and am very sorry for your loss. You still make my favorite camera reviews. I bought the ZV-E1 for family videos etc and it’s quickly become one of my workhorses for many other things. Beautiful image and such a small footprint. All the best

[@keplers_dog]

My condolences, Philip. And, as always, thank you for sharing your perspective with us. It is cherished and much appreciated.

[@mylesnmore]

It’s because of you I learned the 5Dmk2. It’s because of you I preordered the a7s3, the best camera I ever owned and still use. I know it’s been a tough ride for you over the years but I appreciate you not giving up. Thank you for all your hard work. I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve lost my mum, my brother, my FIL and a close friend over the last 10-years and it takes time to heal. Take your time in this season, allow sorrow to work itself through you. We will be here when you get back. Rest my brother

[@philipbloom]

thanks Myles, much appreciated. So sorry for all your losses :(

[@jeffreyfleming4016]

My sincere condolences on your loss.

[@helldoon]

Sorry for your loss Philip, I hope you will feel better in time. As always it was a pleasure to listen to your voice whilst watching this deeply and well-done review and suggestions to Sony. I hope they listen. For many of us, yours is a very comforting channel after being exposed to billions of fully commercialised product review channels. You're always 100% honest, and still seeing a filmmaker's artistic and technical touch to the videos is a true gem.

[@philipbloom]

Thank you for the lovely comment

[@techonthemove]

Oh my goodness...you have my deepest sympathies. I lost my dad last August and it's a terrible feeling. I don't think i'll ever get over it. Ive been a casual watcher for many years and it was obvious how much he meant to you. Keep your chin up.

[@philipbloom]

Thanks. I am sorry for your loss too.

Oh man, sorry for your loss. I will forever have the image of your father smoking a cigar burned into my brain in your camera tests SO MANY years ago, I must have been 13 or 14. You’ve been an inspiration, and your Dad, apart of that!

[@ciaranconlon]

Been watching your videos for years, Sorry for your loss of your dad ❤

[@POVwithRC]

I'm driving out to the coast to get an oral history and a video tour of decades of photo albums from an aging uncle in a couple months. He and my now deceased father had an incredible life as businesspeople and motorsports contenders and half a dozen other things. Just that single opening shot of your dad reminded me why I need to do it. Because once someone is gone so is access to their living memory. No more time for questions and explanations.

[@philipbloom]

Absolutely. The interview with him it was 9 years ago and i was fortunate to have done it then. His mental ability went downhill after this and he gradually succumbed to his demons. 💔

[@LiamMarskog]

I'm sorry for your loss, Phillip. I feel your pain, recently suffered a loss of a family member myself. I love your reviews and they always put a smile on my face. Thanks for doing what you're doing, stay strong :)

[@philipbloom]

Thanks Liam. I am so sorry for your loss.

[@lucasventer]

Very sorry for your loss, Philip.

[@AndreaLiu-ky1vb]

It was sad to know the news at the time. It was then that I wanted to give you and your family a hug. Ever since my grandmother left me when I was in college, I've realised that we seem to be losing all the time. Growing up, losing my childhood, losing my former classmates, and for a long time I was in a state of grief. But I've since figured out that all those people and objects that seem lost are just there for us in a different way. I keep the dolls my grandmother gave me and will always remember the memories she and I made. Likewise, everything from the past I treasure in my heart. So, I'm sure your dad was just there for you in a different way too. I've always found documenting with a camera to be a wonderful memory. We can keep the sounds and smiles of the people we love and our memories forever. I hope everything will get better and your dad is really just there for you in a different way. Hugs again to you and your family.

[@mediaflmcreation]

My prayers to you and your mom Philip, mine had to pack up and take his trip back in 2018. Your wonderful father will be absolutely ok man hang in there, he will come to you and you will soon know it. Good content and love the subtleness of your videos man. I subscribed to you. I have no interest in this camera let alone have money for another one but your video, perfect!

[@MeetupvideoUK]

We're really sorry your loss. We're with you Philip 😢

[@VicBarry]

So sorry for your loss Philip 😢 Great video. Love my ZV-E1 and the Viltrox lens is a great combo. I do find the auto focus slightly more reliable than the FX3 and find myself reaching for the ZV-E1 more and more lately. But then again, the Pocket 3 is superb. Love the footage. Those swans looked pretty chill

[@Benjamin_Jehne]

I'm sorry for your loss. Keep your head up, KZbinland needs you. This review says so much about this camera. As we got it the first time in our hands, we were blown away what kind of camera Sony had released. I for myself fell in love with the stabilisation out of this little thing, as I hate to use gimbals and tripods. People always wanted to test all the other great cameras in our line up, but no one gave a fck about this litte ZV-E1. We really had to push people to try it and once they tried it, they understood. I like the A7SIII but I love how small and lightweight this little thing is, how precise the Af is doing it's thing and combined with something like the 16-35mm F4, this camera becomes such a perfect little production cam - you just have to love it. Thx for the review.

[@JGorg8]

So sorry for your loss. I'm grateful for you, for your knowledge, for your openness to share struggles. You've been a massive inspiration to me for well over a decade. I relate to the past couple years being a struggle, and hope for better days good sir.

[@philipbloom]

Thank so much.

[@JamieFurlong]

Another beautiful video, which I'm sure your father would be proud of. Always love the balance of art vs tech, not to mention the indulgence of cats in super slo-mo and your mum's cameo! Thanks for putting this out at what must be a difficult time. My thoughts are with you.

[@Ed-davies]

So good to see you back Philip. I bought many a piece of gear off the back of your reviews (except the x-h2s, would still enjoy a PB review on this 😊) purely as they are so honest and while I am no longer a Sony shooter I have felt that itch to come back and this may convince me to. I hope this video marks a turning point for you as I, like many have seen you going through some harder times recently, take care.

[@giovannifacci]

It’s always nice to watch one of your videos. I always feel a bit nostalgic. The first I met you was at IBTS in Rome on February 2014. I was a young, broke student and was admiring all that gear. Not long after that I would move to London to follow my passion in cinema. Good to see you Philip!

[@robwhitmore3040]

Sorry to hear it Philip. The incredible thing about your channel is that we don't care if you release your review 2 years after the release. I'm just here to be amazed at how well you can use any camera you've got to make a great video. Absolutely beautiful stuff. Even just the DJI Pocket 3 sequence with the ducks was better than anything I'll ever put out.

[@UraFlight]

Just couple hours ago I was looking at this camera at shop at Kingston. There was a Sony representative who told me mostly everything about this camera . I told him that I need to go home and do more research. I just came back home, opened the KZbin and your video was the first one on my home page 😊. I think I will go for this camera instead of Sony a7siii. Thank you for the review Phill and sorry for your loss. My condolences to you.
