[@SidneyDiongzon]

TELL ME WHICH SONY ZV CAMERA WOULD YOU GET?????

[@qahtanrashid3280]

Great video as usual but dude, I am still confused, currently I am having A7iii with 3 lenses. 90mm macro, sigma 14-24mm 2.8 art and the kit lens 28-70 from sony. I am using all of the time the art lens for vlogging but the setup is HEAVY and I am looking for alternatives but don’t which to go with and in the same time I don’t want to spend much money. What do you suggest for me?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

@@qahtanrashid3280 Sigma came out with a TINY 17mm prime lens and it's amazing! Here's my video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKeQqJJ3nL6Kf6c

[@OliverHinz]

I already have the ZV-1, started to not like it, but... still own it after seeing you regretting to sell and buy it again:)

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

*I still Rock the Original ZV-1 because if it weren't for the ZV-1 the others wouldn't exist*

[@KnightGusion]

I want to buy a camera to recording videos and live broadcasts , But I don't know why people hate the ZV-F1 camera. I don't want to regret it . Should I buy it? Or should I choose another camera for live broadcast? @@qahtanrashid3280

[@just_inhawaii]

Love my zv-1. Had it for almost 3 years. I’ll be adding the e1 to my kit. 🤙🏽

[@meirwigoder2822]

Thanks for your concise review and mapping the different type of cameras with no music in the background. If you had to choose for street video point and shoot and documentary between the Sony cameras that you like and the Sony a7c what would be better (I realize that one is full frame and the other not), and which one is better in low light conditions.

[@ocvisual]

Made a lot of sense! Thank you for the awesome breakdown Sidney.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ZombieEater1001]

Thank you so much for this man!

[@meirwigoder2822]

added to the comment below: what would be the preference between the ZV cameras to the Sony A7C? thanks for your very clear explanations

[@rajaadal5783]

Thanks for the awesome review. Other than the zv-1f, which of these cameras has the Sony "shot mark" feature, which allows you to send a 15, 30, or 60 second clip to your phone while shooting?

[@DeltaRecordsStudio]

Great video, I own a zv1, I record podcast in my studio? What do you think having two zv1 for multi cam and have the same image ?

[@mwmcginnis]

Still not sure which to get between the ZV-1 or ZV-1F. You mention streaming as a benefit of the 1F, can the ZV-1 do streaming? I want to stream from my couch and having zoom on the ZV-1 would work better for framing my setup without cropping. Touch screen and better autofocus on the 1F sound nice but am I giving up too much even if I am saving ~$200AUD? Thanks and great video!

[@adventureoffscript]

For vlogging, broll, and second angles would you choose the ZV-E1 or the ZV-1 ii? If it is the ZV-E1 which lens do you recommend for a great do all lens that could still possibly fit in a pocket or hip pouch? Thank you in advance for your reply!

[@user-wq3wv5tq5x]

Hi , Which camera is good for photos ?.My requirements are to take photos. Recently my friends suggest to go for I phones for this. Please advise me any handy camera that could fulfill my thoughts .

[@vincentimperial]

Hi, can you advise me which camera to get. I am looking for a budget, compact camera that can take photoshoot and video (more of photo). I do not do vlogging. Another criteria is the low light capability because I intent to take this pocket camera to Finland to take photo from the Northern lights (in the night, I guess). Will the ZV-1 be good enough.

[@JillGrygas]

Hi Sidney! I have a real problem with cameras. I have the ZV-1, ZV-E10, and the A7C. I love them all but man that E1 is really tempting....! Loved the video, thank you for sharing!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Hi Jill! The ZV-E1 is def worry trying at least. I would even go far to say it’s a better full-frame camera than the A7C! Thanks for watching!

[@kiez_insider]

@@SidneyDiongzon yeah but the overheating? 🤔

[@NuVegas51]

Which zv has the best zoom? I'd love to zoom into vegas when hiking in mount Charleston

[@jennifergala]

ZVE1 with updated firmware for live streaming no overheating 120fps and Cine EI. That would be great and a price cut for 1499$ plus small FF newly designed Sony lenses.

[@SyntheticCompany]

@SidneyDiongzon can you tell me what that white articulating arm is for the top down shots?

[@OliverHinz]

Mr. ZV, the go to creator on the ZV ecosystem :)

[@otakugains6900]

The Sony zv e 10 is a beast !

[@softersideofc.c.5655]

I have the zve10, I brought the kit lens separate. When I turn on the camera my lens is blurry can you tell me how to make it clear so I can record and take pictures?

[@quieora1789]

Thanks for the video! Which camera do you recommend between the Sony ZV1 and the Sony ZV 1F for videos on KZbin where I play the guitar and for some holiday photos?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thanks! I'd recommend the ZV-1F since you can capture wider shots. The stabilization is NOT as good as the ZV-1, so just keep that in mind.

[@sharicedarnellarereworld7212]

I love the zv1f camera😊❤

[@SidneyDiongzon]

It's such a great tiny camera!

[@rionvalet]

I have it & I love it 😍❤

[@paramveersingh9563]

What would you recommend if I want to click pictures and shoot cinematic videos of myself just for the instagram in these: Sony Zv1, Zve10 or canon g7x mark iii???

[@readysetfilm2176]

Hey Sidney! I have the Sony A7C and absolutely love it and feel that the 4k is incredible! What do you think ? Is it still a great full frame primary video camera for vlogs and talking head content?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Yes, absolutely! If you're happy with the A7C then keep it!

[@readysetfilm2176]

@@SidneyDiongzon thanks so much!

[@tarvinder91]

I am not able to find out a video that also shows HX series and the W series of sony. Where do they stand

[@sashabet5687]

Which one do you recommend for pictures?

[@rhyansanpedro]

Great video, I'll pass on the ZV-E1, price is a bit on the high side, hard to beat price for performance value of the ZV-1. I've got my ZV-1 and ZVE-10 and that is more than enough for now, If I was ever to upgrade and go full frame in the future I'll save up and get the A7SIII.

[@joycoco_tv]

as someone who has both, what do you think of the zv 1 vs zv e10 kit lens for low light video?

[@Mike_Benz_]

Do you have a which Sony APS-C camera should you get video?

[@jonathantavarez3472]

Hey Sidney! So I’m about to be new to the content creator world. I’m so torn between the ZV-E10 & the ZV-E1 I can afford the E1 but it’ll take a hit on my pocket. Will I I regret not getting the E1 & going for the E10 as a beginner? (It’ll be more for shooting outside & vlogging)

[@loomzoom]

Did you bought it in the end?

[@AymenMoumeni-bn4ud]

Can i use the zv1 for cenimatic vidoes?

[@aboudhd]

How do we deal with ZVE10 rolling shutter and wiggly video?

[@DTRBrianMallard]

What about the HX line? I know it's cheap, but shoots well for a cybershot

[@DTRBrianMallard]

I have a Sony ZV1 and an A6000

[@TechWandererYT]

Currently in Japan and considering picking up the ZV1 international version here due to the tax refund (10%). But am really worried about overheating as well as a new model coming out, as this one is almost 3 years old now?

[@TechWandererYT]

Update: I checked several Yodobashi's, Map Camera, Kitamura Camera and not a single store had international models in stock. Shops were absolutely SWEEPED here, not sure if recently of all the time, but there's no finds anywhere :(

[@davidbarrett0314]

Hey Sidney with the Sony zv-1 can I make KZbin videos with it besides vlogging?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Yep! I use mine for top down overhead shots

[@davidbarrett0314]

@@SidneyDiongzon thanks

[@100sensacao]

You record this video with a Phone or Camera?

[@PaulRankinYT]

I finally picked up a new lens for my ZV-E10, so much better than that awful kit lens

[@mostlysondheim1930]

video starts at 4:15

[@1ceyahh]

Is there any zv line that offer as close and as good zoom to rx100?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

No lol

[@JoshConnectMedia]

Still am not convinced as to which one to get if i am coming from ZV-E10.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Honestly if you’re happy with the ZV-E10, then hold on to it and save your money!

[@JoshConnectMedia]

@@SidneyDiongzon 😇😇😇

[@iloveyouQuran]

I have Sony zv e10 with sigma 16mm… video wise I wasn’t disappointed but picture yea.. so now I’m planning to sell my sigma 16mm and then buy 30 mm…

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Sigma 30mm is a great lens!

[@iloveyouQuran]

@@SidneyDiongzon okay, thank you so much. 🤍😊

[@AviRochester]

As soon as Sony took down the viewfinder for reasons of savings for them savings at the expense of the buyer's pocket. As mentioned, the viewfinder is very convenient for taking pictures on a sunny day. So the whole line is not worth it to me Lots of buyers who wanted to purchase and did not purchase the camera because there is no eyepiece.

[@rocknflip66]

ZV E1 will be it

[@chromewarnock9681]

honestly if you don't know than just get zve10 because you dont need better i wouldn't say zv1 because anyone wanting a proper camera wants interchangable lenses and if you are not gonna buy more than 1 than you would regret it by buying zv1

[@borislavatatchev]

ZV-1F is a toy, best budget camera with excellent quality is the ZV-E10 with Viltrox 23mm f1.4 or viltrox 13mm f1.4 or Sigma 16mm f1.4.

[@PrakashPatil-dw5be]

You are confusied😮

[@dronyland]

Interesting video, if it wasn't for your sponsor showed on our face like twice in a row. I am sorry, but i had to stop watching this video right after the 2nd time you started talking about your sponsor again.
