The original version has many many advantages. The Ulanzi wide adapter gets you wide enough, but it can be taken off to get much better tele. The original is much much more affordable. Plus the original has better Slo-Mo features. With the price difference it is Mark ONE all the way for me.

[@chatchaiwichawut9723]

Nice review as usual 👍🏻

Another great video Jase, thank you for the info. 😃👍🏼📷

[@JasonVong]

thanks for stopping by bud!

[@heterogeneityrocks1]

Thank you great job very useful

[@PaulFeinberg]

Fantastic breakdown on the differences on these two models. I was really hoping they would allow the ECM-B1M support with digital hotshoe. Bummer! Nice job as always!

[@bradl2636]

Yes it’s a real bummer otherwise I’d be more interested and no OSS hurts it too.

[@Moriarty2007]

Sony ZV-1 original is better choice for new or used. Optical stabilization, better aperture f1.8-2.8, wider zoom lens with ND filter is the best! Mechanical shutter makes it real hybrid photo+video camera. Mk2 - much worse.

[@WOONJ]

thank you for the nice video. it is so helpful

[@MollyFitzBrown]

Great comparison, I’m getting the zv1m2 for sure (upgrading from the zv1f) for my compact option!

[@JasonVong]

Wow I remember you commenting saying you would get the 1F back when I released that video 😮 May I ask what’s the reason for switching to this mark 2?

[@MollyFitzBrown]

@@JasonVong That’s cool, I love your camera videos! I’m actually loving the zv1f but hoping this will fix its couple of flaws. I mostly shoot outside in Florida so the built in ND will be so nice to have! I also have had an occasional miss with the focus (on my face), that I’m sure this one won’t have an issue with. And I am excited it will give me some zoom range. I’m not worried about the f4 when zoomed, I’ll mostly be using it wide. I do like how the lens on the zv1f doesn’t extend (so compact) but keeping track of the tiny lens cap is such a pain lol

[@JasonVong]

@@MollyFitzBrown Thanks for the update!! Yeah it was a bit of a shame the 1F has only Contrast AF... I was pretty close to getting it myself just because of the wider lens and the compactness but I figured I wait and see. Please let me know how the Mark II ends up working out for you!

[@MollyFitzBrown]

@@JasonVong yeah that focus is the main issue, it occasionally had an odd jitter in the background as well. Otherwise the concept of it was great haha but my pre-order is in now :)

@@MollyFitzBrown La ZV1F es la peor cámara del siglo XXI

[@biglah4140]

Great video. So many good points on here! But how does ZV-II compare to the ZV-e10. To choose the ZV-II or get the ZV e10 and go with the options or having different lenses?

[@paulgero]

good audio test...sounds like the new audio features are superb....

[@JasonVong]

Hey Paul!! 👋

[@paulgero]

That audio and the new menus alone make up for the shorter reach.

[@Am1nCmd]

Hi, thank you for sharing, this is helpful, hope you can compare ZV-1M2 to ZV-E10 too

[@ramabg2]

Well, ZV-1 Mark 2 is not an upgrade, It is an variant with different features. Sony takes advantage the absence of competition in this segment by releasing overpriced underpowered product.

[@tanker242]

All variants should be removed from the timeline.

[@Sebbir]

@@tanker242we must prune the mark 2

[@mandarinas364]

Tal cual, ni la ZV1, ni la M2 y mucho menos la ZV1F son buenas camaras, NINGUNA. Son moviles de 150€ con pantalla rotativa y fin. Camaras de 200€ con un valor de 800-1000€.

[@LindonSlaght]

Use accurate phrasing, I believe you mean you were hoping for more of upgrade. For the target buyer of this camera, touch operation is huge, as well multi face recognition.

[@MrGheller]

Thank you for sharing. Sony ZV-e10 or Sony ZV-1 M2. Which one and why? Thank you for the help and guidance.

[@Hyper88]

The mic test was pretty good, i won't ever get a camera like this but it's interesting

[@aqua551]

Wow !! Thanks a lot for your review ! I want to buy Sony ZV-1M2 i want to know if this version overheating ? this is very important for me

[@PhilipLemoine]

Wow this was a great lens comparison! Something I been honestly wondering!

[@TechWandererYT]

Somebody said Super Thanks? Let's goooo!!! With that out of the way, great video Jason. I'll definitely pick one up. It's a great option for vlogging, at least during the day, or on the widest. Much better choice than the ZV-E10 for example. So compact and the lens feels good enough for the price. It sells for about US$888 in Dubai, incl. the grip if you preorder and incl. all taxes. Not a bad deal no doubt!

[@JasonVong]

Hey Rob! Thanks for the support!! That is a pretty good deal! That’s the price here without the grip 😅

[@luvingventure1126]

Hi great video! Quick question, I have the Sony zv1. I love the tracking, that it doesn’t heat up, but the zoom sucks. What would be an upgrade to this camera?

[@anindyajyotiroy767]

Hi Jason, I am travelling solo and would like to kind of replace the iPhone selfies with self-portraits with some bokeh (that still kind of gives away say that I am in front of Eifell). I am already planning to buy the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 lense, and this will be my only prime. I will be using Sony A6100 APSC camera. Which prime lense will you recommend?

[@budztapte]

What i'm waiting for is the zv1 m2

[@user-fz9go8pj4t]

Ok, I really think that the mark ii is not worth buying, it is very limited. The form factor is really tiny, it maybe a pro, but there are so many cons...I definitely prefer the ZVE-10, the interchangeable lense camera with larger sensor. I am really curious to know what will be the ZVE-10 mark ii...And also, I want to be insane, really mad guy...Do you want ultimate vlogging and street photography camera and money is n o t an issue for you? Go for the Leica Q3, a camera from another galaxy...6000$ full frame 60 mp camera with a fixed 28mm f1.7 lens...its a dream

[@iconindexsymbol]

ZV-1 MkII at 18mm w/active stabilization vs. ZV-1 at 24mm w/optical stabilization?

[@joellesjourneys]

do you have a video talking about the app? would love to know

[@vipzamundanet]

@JasonVong Hello and which camera is good this one> Sony ZV-1 II or this one Sony ZV-1 ????? (to be able to know her for streaming)

[@mandarinas364]

Estas comentando en un video de helados de limon o de una comparativa de lo mismo que pedis? estas bien?>>

[@fishycomics]

the one thing that would interest us on the mic test is if you would have walked back to see when the mic would have switched. other then that its was an awesome breakdown, and think I'll stick with my 1F

[@JasonVong]

Thank you! It should switch the moment it does not detect a face but I'm guessing you wanted to see how far you can be away from the camera?

[@fishycomics]

@@JasonVong exactly what. I was thinking. Thanks

[@SallyYapto]

I have a6400 with the 16-50mm kit lens, but I’m very intrigued in this zv 1 ii. I mostly do vlogs but I kinda don’t like how a6400 don’t have any stabilization, but I do like how they are mirrorless so I can change the lenses. Zv 1 ii seems so compact and very suitable for vlogging. What do you think about this?

[@MikesManCave]

I have had all of them, I sold the Sony A6400 to buy the Sony ZV E10, which is MUCH better for vlogging, there is not comparison between the two camera. I also use the Sony ZV1, if you only have one camera and vlogging is your thing get the Sony ZV1 Mark 2 with a few batteries. You will never use the A6400 again. Check this explanation made with KZbin content creators in mind: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZDSY5yMrrR6p7csi=CfIURPPfjpY-dDVX

[@Walkingclaxxic]

Personally not worth the upgrade I’ll keep my zv1 but good for first timers tryna jump in

[@biohazard2030]

ZV-1 mark I & II vs Sony Xperia 1 V please!

[@Miranda_Brown]

mark II doesnt seem worth it, glad IO grabbed the first gen, it was on sale! $70 for an attachment I can take on and off is worth it.

[@Leos74]

not a lot of reviewers have noted that it doesnt have optical steadyshot. i find it quite funny this being the mark ii and lacking features damn they removed the 960fps mode too... aand the mechanical shutter? aaand it more expensive? no way

[@jariperho]

Reviewers also fail to mention that you lose the wider field of view the moment you activate electronic stabilization. The ZV-1 II is effectively a 23mm lens when vlogging with stabilization.

[@rogeriogomesosorio4755]

Between the zv1M2 and the new sony experia V and the iphone 14, which is the best and you prefer?

[@JasonVong]

If we are speaking for video only, I would choose the ZV-1M2. Photos I would prefer the XPERIA.

[@bmkhalidhasan]

11:49 Cat Be Like: Oh no, he is doing it again! Let me get outta here!

[@MikesManCave]

Biggest upgrade is the USB-C plug and 18mm lens. Wish it had a 10-70mm lens, it would almost make it the perfect camera and I would be upgrading. Using the ZV1 as a B camera or pocket camera (it goes with me where I go), I think I will stick with what I have the upgrade is not enough to justify buying a new camera. My main camera is the Sony ZV E10 with the Sony 10-18mm lens.

[@andrescarrasco1248]

Having my zv1 the m2 has nothing interesting for me, I'll stick to my zv1 until the m3 or m4 has 4k 60fps

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

How does the Ulanzi lense extender look on the M2?

[@mandarinas364]

A ver si eres capaz de ver un video y entenderlo

[@sangu1ch]

I own both the m2 and m1. M2 is not worth it tbh, get the m1 and the adapter and other accessories all for the price of the m2. The 18mm isn't as wide as you'd think when stabilization is on. The touchscreen is finnicky (and the playback mode has this marker button that wont go away unless you turn touch off). The AI mic pickup is only marginally better than the M1. Esp if using it for intelligent auto, the m1 has m2 beat.

[@eightsprites]

Thanks! Just the information I was searching for

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

Jason re the newer wide angle. I used the Ulanzi mounted on a a magnetic mount. I work excellent. I still prefer the zv1. If the zv1m2 would have had a bigger battery might consider it.

[@JasonVong]

I didn’t know ulanzi has a magnetic one! The first one they released was stuck on with double sided tape 😂 I will have to check out the new version!

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

@@JasonVong it is the Ulanzi lens. But i hated the machismo they use so bought a magnetic filter adapter. You can see the details kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3eXhWOZm9J6lcU. Not asking for a call out or endorsement. The Magnetic adapter made a massive difference.

[@JamesJohnsonthe4th]

As a non-video guy, the ZV-1 II is a more interesting camera to me with its wider lens. There isn't really anything else like it and it's the closest thing to Nikon's cancelled DL 18-50. I personally hope that Sony puts this ZV-1 II lens in a proper RX100 style body with a viewfinder and mechanical shutter.

[@alexandryu5072]

Why do anyone need zv-1 or m2 if there is IPhone?

[@maxito9984]

10:56 that is not true! I have managed to record up to 40 minutes on the zv1 m1

[@LeoMkII]

Hell no dude, give me the zv1, the glass in this new one is clearly inferior, that wide angle is not worth the trade offs imo

[@LeoMkII]

That said, it had few qol upgrades that are pretty neat, specially for people who are new to cameras

[@auroraflash]

the internal mic is subpar and unusable :D

[@heyyou3359]

sony changed the minimum things basically wider and touch screen. The battery still sucks. No thanks. I keep my zv1

[@floatingapple]

Camera companies legit racing to the bottom. Removed mechanical shutter, slow motion, OSS, +worsen aperture for an even higher price. 3 years of innovation and this is what they came up with. What a joke.

[@jariperho]

I don't understand this mark II at all either. All they had to do was make the lens wider, and it would have been a sensible release. But taking features away while also increasing the price? No thanks.

[@bradl2636]

A shocking downgrade. Hard pass from me.

[@jakub8363]

In which aspect you consider it downgrade?

[@xiondFirst]

@@jakub8363 they literally removed Optic Stabilization on the lens while the old one had it. It costs more and it still does 4k 30 lmao. Seems like a bump in price while removing a feature. Plus ZVE-10 exists at heavy discount now.

[@jakub8363]

@@xiondFirst thank you for response mate. Im trying to decide between zv1, zv1 m2, zve10 and zv-1f. Camera will be used for youtube videos, twitch streaming and vacation vlogging. So it is hard to decide:)
