SONY ZV-E1 - FOR WEDDING FILMS ? 🔥🔥🔥

In this video I discuss the Sony ZV-E1 for Wedding Videography. I used the Sony ZV-E1 to film a wedding in Sacramento California to see if it would have any issues with overheating.

[@ImInFloridaBeaches]

Hey, video idea for this camera. Put it in the weebel s3 mounted to a tripod with a 18mm lens and see how it does in that tracking setting. I would think with the weeble doing left right up down the camera would handle the zooming and avoiding the stretchy parts on the sides of that lens. Walk around and go back and forth, stuff like that. If all of that works together youd have a heck of a set up! Thanks Vu!

I NEVER want to hear anyone else refer to this camera as a “vlogging” only camera. It’s a PROFESSIONAL camera. You are proving that! The quality of that wedding reception from the image,editing,sounds, & everything else is 🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥 I’m enjoying my Zv E1. Definitely still learning and messing up a lot with iso and what not but I’m getting the hang of it. It’s worth learning because the the intelligent auto mode won’t give you the full capability/quality this camera has to offer. Great video 🏆

[@nVuFilms]

Yup. Thx

[@aquinoj99]

You did a shoot in Roseville? Nice. Love the color Shayens.

[@nVuFilms]

I did. Thanks

[@LiveMyJourneyTom]

People obsess too much about the gear. I'm happy to shoot with 40+ year old lenses. While the zv-e1 is now my main camera my second body I purchased recently is a humble Oly OM-D EM1 MKII. Photo centric camera realeased in 2016 that would still be enough for me today to shoot anything. The stabilisation is better then in zv-e1. It has phase detect AF that's is competent. Great colours and decent low light for a micro 43. It was dirt cheap and I'm quite amazed how good the video looks.

[@TheDecompressionZone]

Fantastic wedding film. Great work!!

[@DineshBhadwal]

Wait a minute? Can we use APSC lenses on ZVE1 without losing any resolution? Also, does this camera do RAW externally and what specs?

[@jamskof]

hi vu! so im interested in timelapse on a slider, i wasnt to do "move shoot move" as i do long exposures.. a lot of motorised sliders that do this use a shutter release cable, but afaik the zv-e1 has no multiport.. do you know if the usbc port could trigger the shutter? or is the only method over bluetooth / wifi? thanks

[@jamskof]

ive spent way too much time researching this.. sony say it is possible to trigger shutter via usb-c but they dont / wont support it. but a. third party could. as far as i can see, the only way is tpo modify a compatible bluetooth remote with a port like a 2.5mm jack, and link that to the slider. then the remote triggers the camera.

[@realMysta]

My only hesitation(I say hesitation even though I just got it) is the lack of dual cards. But think i'll stick with it, just dipping toes in to video along side the a7R V

[@clickclickGoose]

What iso are you using? Just the base ones like 640 and 12800? I wish it had cine ei but it probably doesn’t matter. You crank the shutter (up) all the time right? For 60p

[@nVuFilms]

Just the base. And I crank shutter

Panasonic GH6 or Z1 E1?

[@frontlinecreative]

Phenomenal video. Great edit pacing, fantastic color grading, and excellent music selection. Definite proof that it's not the gear, it's the creator using it. -- Was all the footage in the wedding video shared here shot with the E1? Or only the shots that had the info listed at the bottom like at 1:35?

[@nVuFilms]

The labelled shots. But the rest was FX3 so it would look exactly the same

[@gustavfrankecinematography]

Footage looks incredible. My only concern is the lack of dual recording

[@terangikaiwhiriakemara]

Turns out if you adapt a Dzofilm Catta ace zoom to the zv-e1 the lens acts as a giant heat sink

[@steveschnetzler5471]

"let me tell you" I think all new "mirrorless video cameras" should have "standard" mounts on the back to mount/connect 3rd party heat removal solutions. from fans to liquid cooling for extreme conditions. The days of keeping everything proprietary should be over. Plus, they should all have 3 usb ports (power, external disk, and usb mic). Maybe, a "standard" wireless audio in/receiver built in.

[@nVuFilms]

👀

[@PenFriends]

“Freeing” is the word why I swapped from canon to Fujifilm. Yes I sacrificed a bit of DoF, but the lightness sure helped massively! People really underestimate lightness on small shoots.

[@auroraflash]

My ZV-E1 manages 90 minutes of battery life during 4k24 H.265 10-bit 4:2:2 recording on a V60 SD card. No overheating. I wonder which wedding ceremony takes longer than that.

[@jamskof]

its true to an extent. its not really a vlogging camera, but you really can not say that its pro unless its a properly cooled machine, and this camera will always be a worry. you NEVER need that on a pro shoot. fine for b-roll though never rely on it if you absolutely need that b-roll

[@nVuFilms]

A camera is considered pro when a pro can use it effectively

[@hiddengemsliteraryemporium]

Seriously was considering the R8, but the zve-1 specs make much much more sense. Oddly KZbinrs have been hurling insults at this camera and none of it seemed to make sense. “DON’T BUY THIS CHEAPER A7S3 IF YOU WANNA BE A PRO!” It was ridiculous. Thank you for taking it to a professional job and showcasing the results. Thank you for the honest review.

[@nVuFilms]

👍👍👍🤙

[@CaleMcCollough]

I'm on the fence about what to upgrade my A7C to, an A7C II, ZV-E1, or A7 IV. I have an FX30 and A6700. I would like to use the ZV-E1 for green screen, but that dual native ISO gain at 12,800 is crazy; 3,200 and 2500 are a much better gain levels for green screen and adding cinematic light. I'm not a fan of using ND filters, and when you crop on the ZV-E1 you're at less than 4K upscale to 4K, but that can be good to soften lenses. Most cheap lenses have vignetting and doing an APS-C gets rid of that, and APS-C wider field of view than on APS-C due to in-body lens corrections. When you crop in 1.5x you get half the pixels and way better rolling shutter. When you crop in 2x you get 1/4 of the pixels, so 33MP 3:2 sensor is about 24MP 16:9, which then turns into a 12MP ASP-C sensor, which will still have much larger pixels than a 26MP 3:2/20.1MP 16:9 sensor. The question is, where does that low light performance actually matter?

[@zsolesz0017]

It is a great camera, but what about the single SD card slot? That is the main reason I would not shoot a wedding with it. Can you do external and internal recording simultaneously? Maybe external 4k and internal fhd simultaneously? That would solve the overheating concerns as well. Thank!

Thanks for lmk

[@countdracula2533]

LOL that happy ending though 29.99

[@nVuFilms]

[@jamskof]

im between the a7iv and the zv-e1.. im loving this zv-e1 spec, but im also loving the resolution of the a7iv, ergonomics for better cooling and clear image zoom / being able to crop in with aps-c lenses. they both seem amazing in low light. i do a fair amount of timelapse, slider, hyperlapse type stuff, so cropping in with dynamic stabilisation is not ideal if for some reason the frame drifts halfway through. from your experience, do you think the zv-e1 is the way to go?

[@nVuFilms]

Yea

[@OasisExplorer]

One major drawback which goes against the EV1 to use it as a primary camera is the single card slot. I am also on the same fence as yours while looking for the upgrade to the full frame, especially for videos and the ZV-E1 ticks most marks compared to the other top contenders like A74, Canon R6 and the Nikon Z6II/Z7ii (only negative point is no in camera 10 bit recording). But my dream camera would be the Nikon Z8 if the pocket allows. Z8 is the one camera which ticks most mark and is future proof for more than a decade with the in camera 8K recording and the proven Nikon build quality.

[@upclosepro]

The only benefit of a7iv over zv e1 is dual card slots, 24 megapixels, viewfinder and no issues w overheating (maybe regular size hdmi) The zv is better in every other way

I am considering getting this camera or the A7IV, to replace my M50 Mark ii. I primarily do video (This would be for TikToks, Instagram Reels, and KZbin Videos). I would prefer to get the ZV-E1, but the overheating concerns do make me apprehensive. I saw a comment where someone said that they got the camera and even when it is not technically overheating, it gets uncomfortably hot almost instantly and even has a "burning plastic smell" to it. In your experience, how hot does the camera get when it's regularly recording? I really want to get this camera, but just want the piece of mind that it will be a good investment.
