I watched probably every camera youtuber out there since 2011; you're the only one that actually got me to subscribe.
Thank you!
I'll have more good values and comparisons coming soon.
No one cares about 1 subscription 😅
Can't have thousands without 1.
Always top notch reviews here!
Just subscribed now!
I aim to be a silent lifestyle vlogger and has been eyeing the ZV-1F for a while. Your review decided it for me. The spec on ZV-1F is all I need for a vlogging camera. Its the wide angle, color sharpness, and smooth light transition that did it for me. The camera captures the sunset very pretty!
Its also more stable than I thought. This is a powerful camera indeed.
I just ordered mine today
This is the only video about cameras that I've watched EVERY last second of.
Ikr,me too!!!!
This is so true
finally someone directly comparing both of the cameras side by side in the setting they were meant for!
You were really right about this camera and your arguments/logic with the proof of the video I am watching have really won me over. Your style and personality are fantastic for this. Subbed and I really hope you keep making videos. You are great at this.
Side by side comparisons are so valuable. Thank you for doing that, good job 👍
this is the video that ive been looking for to determine which one i wanna get. thank you for the side by side and for sharing all of your knowledge/experiences!!!!!
Never seen such a chill review vid in a while! Great stuff man, keep it up!
Best review I’ve seen. Straight to the point and great points. I’m on my way to buy it now
One of the bests VIDEOS on this topic, you made a video instead of just talking and showing b roll clips you SHOWED it, that’s what video is all about! ❤
The best comparison video. Really well done and thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Superb video. I made my purchase yesterday, but I kept questioning my decision - even after checking out a few reviews - but, this did it for me. Initially, I had the 1 and 1F in my Amazon cart, but decided to go with two 1Fs. Looking at the side-by-side comparisons, features, and advantages, I'm glad I did. Thanks again!
Thank you! Great side by side! I got the zv1f for on the go vlogging and really liked it! But then all the haters had me second guessing, should I swap it for a zv1? But seeing it side by side, no way! I love the wide angle and how tiny and light it is! Perfect for what I do :)
Thanks for this video. I am thinking about getting the zv1f and you have convinced me. I have filmed on my smartphone for year's and I have finally decided I need an actual camera to film on.
The best comparison ever! Thank you for made this super useful video 👍🏻
Thank you! Man, I've watched them all. I'm not high end videographer, almost every other review of this camera was compared by "cinematic" videographers, not vloggers which that camera is made for. I make automotive content and looking to step up from GoPros for "non-action" shots...and wanted a little depth of field, cleaner picture, and just less issues (goPros are horrible IMO). I had the hardest time finding a simple review for what 90% of people who would actually use this this camera for. Thank you. This is all I needed, and EXACTLY what I was looking for. Im heading to Best Buy now, then to test this guy out on my channel.
Also. Your good at this, why stop making content??
I'll get back to it at some point - projects just keep piling up! New baby, new house construction, new job, work certs, school...
Maybe the spring!
Thank you so much for this honest review. I started out a travel vlogging YT page, and all these other cameras are super unaffordable for me. I’m now super excited to buy!! 😊
Thank you for the support. I like the camera a lot.
This is the best video ever, exactly what I was looking for 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you. This is exactly the video I’ve been looking for 🥺😊
Thank you so much for filming this incredible video!! Excellent quality and extremely helpful and informative!! The Sony ZV1 and the Sony ZV1F are the two cameras I’m deciding between this video was extremely helpful and informative 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Such an awesome review. Thanks for the honest words and the work you put into this video. Greetings from Germany, you got a new sub 😎👍
You are absolutely right!
I completely agree 👍
Thanks for sharing your opinion in this video.
Much love 💕
Matthias 👋
watched this video all the way through. your info, insight, and humour are so valuable! thank you for helping me make this decision to upgrade my gear from my iphone with minimal storage (although zv1f is pricier here in canada nearing $700 and the zv1 at $1000) with a wonderful side by side shot!
That Canadian pricing though. 😕
Ordered it last night thanks to your review, confident it’ll do what I need.
Just a awesome explanation video. Thank you very much. I needed it.
This definitely helped solidify my comfort in buying the ZV-1F. I didn't mind buying something not top of the line since it's my first camera upgrade anyway, but still.
Hope to see more content from you! This was fantastic and very to the point.
This video is the reason I’m purchasing the Zv1f LOL. Thank you for your honesty and to the point m, real world review.
subbed, loved this review pal. I own the zv1 as a decent travel camera but Ill probably get the ZV1f at some point as well.
This video is the video ive been waiting for! thank you so much, I have never subbed so fast after watching a video. usually I get impatient and skip around but you made the video really interesting!
Thank you for the kind words.
Currently super busy with job, school and our two lil kiddos, but when I upload again it will be just as good.
Thank you. I just purchased this camera. It arrives Monday 🌺🌍🙏🏽
Thank you for saying this! I am honestly not picky about "amazing cinematics" so I was really hoping this simple camera was going to be high quality and just what I needed. Thank you for this honest review.
Thank you for the support. Thing is, you actually can get a variety of shot styles with it if you so desire!
I've been watching product reviews for the ZV -F1 for the past few days and you convinced me to get one. I'm new to this sorta thing and want to do some vlogs when i travel for food and get that started and came across the camera and couldn't find solid comparisons with commentary, honest commentary that didn't get into detail but rather keep it basic and simple. So, thanks for sharing your honest and simple thoughts dude. I'm convinced to try it out myself and use it and more than likely love it. Thanks again man!
Thanks for the support!
If you can, hit up either the Best Buy or Amazon links. Even if you buy your camera some place else, a click supports the channel.
Same reason I've just purchased one.
I’m glad I stumbled upon this video. I accidentally won an auction on a ZV-1F and I misread the title. So now I’m waiting for the delivery so I can test it out. Videos like this have helped ease my concerns about the camera and its capabilities and uses. Thank you!
I got my zv-1f last week!! Thank you for satisfying me to get this camera. You're the best!! I really LOVE this review. This is my all time favorite ZV-1f review on youtube. Thanks Messi. I'm enjoying my zv-1f!!
Completely my pleasure!
"Messi" 😂
I had my eye on the ZV-1 for a while, but I noticed the price difference so I came to YT for a comparison. You have me sold! I ordered right after 3:38 lol. Picking up the ZV-1F after work. Im new to vlogging so it’s good enough for me. Thank you!
It's a little different, getting into "real" cameras from phones, but I like the 1F.
Be sure to set it up for how you want the footage to look. Different frame rates cause different effects. So do different shutter speeds (lower is smoother and more "filmy"), which is why I recommend the ND filter for outdoor recording.
You nailed this comparison vid bro! Great vid! Sony should pay you for this vid! I just ordered my ZV-1F as a podcast camera because of you. Thanks 🏆
The review we actually needed. Thank you ;)
man, you really so easily sold this beautiful camera. your way with words and also your relatability and honestness made me immediately like and subscribe. not to mention your theory on the pr teams of big corporate companies wanting to gain more profit... you made it make sense.
Great review! The ZV1F looks very good in your comparisons. The color science looks amazing for the price.
Great video! Made me feel good about my first camera purchase. I was worried I made the wrong choice lol.
Great video and right to the point. I'm your 55th subscriber, keep making videos, you're a natural.
Thank you! I appreciate the support.
Thanksgiving and college have gotten in the way a bit, but I'll be back to it soon enough.
Thank you! This helped me decide on the budget friendly option of ZV-1F on the Prime Day Sale 🎉
Glad to be of help.
this video and the review is amazing. the only video i enjoyed watching about this camera. i watched the whole thing 💕
Thank you for your kind words.
I got the ZV1F because of this! I see people complain about the pulsing focus and I can relate during the first day! 🤣 Realized that the focus is better when Product Showcase mode is On, now everything is working fine! ♥️ Happy that I got this over an Iphone, everything is perfect! I do cooking videos.
Thank you for this video I just purchased the zv1f and it was the best decision
Thank you for this!
I think you killed it in this video. Bravo sir.
Good video man zv1 is my everyday use camera for vlogs and my CZcams channel ! Love it
Good deal. Glad it works for you.
Great video with actual usage of both cameras instead on
of in studio type of reviews using a completely $$$$ different camera
Thank you!! I've been having such a hard time with all of this! I'm a full time nursing student who is horrible at all things tech, but have a million useful things I want to share to help people in my place. I've been recording on my iphone and doing occasional voiceovers on my mac, and for the life of me, I can't even get myself to watch my own videos half the time because its a hard watch. I just want something simple and user friendly to put out videos and this is the only resource I've found that I can understand. I swear I was just on the phone complaining about constantly being out of iphone storage, but my icloud ran out and can't back up, and now I can't do yet ANOTHER software update due to lack of storage. I really appreciate this, seriously.
Thank you for the kind words. Life has been chaotic, but hopefully I can help you again in the future!
I really like the footage of the zv 1f, glad i bought it!
Man. This gotta be the most original review ever. You're hilarious! Spot on.
Thank you for your kind words.
I just wanted to tell it like it is in a way that let's _you_ pick.
The 1F isn't for everybody, but it's a dang good camera for purpose. And it's on sale at Amazon right now.
Thank you for making this!!
great review, great channel better than all them fake reviewers out there, keep it up
Your video just popped up (congrats on the algorhythm!), and caught my eye. I just bought the ZV-1 and have been looking at videos for ZV-E10 as well trying to decide which is better to keep. I have. Lumix GX8 that is weather sealed and some great glass but I just never use it and really wanted something smaller, even though the Lumix is a great size. Appreciate the side by side comparison here and now it's making me think about that...Thx for video!
No problem! Thanks for the comment.
All cameras are a trade-off at this point. I think that's how the companies want it.
I've just purchased the zv-1F, thanks for this!
this is amazing, the comparison you made is an eye opener...
I honestly was ready to jump on the hate bandwagon - but I had to change what I was going to say. There's no reason to hate this camera.
@@HighlyExcellent i had a ZV1 for a year and later sold it for ZVE10. ZV1 was a catalyst into mirrorless camera world. ZV1 sensor was the same as in Sony AX700. I guess its footage looked more like a semi pro camcorder. I was looking for shallower depth of field in my video, hence ZVE10 with 35mm f1.8 got me there. ZV1 F is a good camera for beginner and even for pros but i may be waiting for ZV2..
A solid pick. Can't wait for the A7000 series and the ZV-E20 to come out.
Thanks for your video! You solidified my decision to get the camera.
It's a great vlogger and webcam. I just got the ZV-1 Mark 2 to compare side by side and the 1F still compares so well that you would have absolutely nothing to regret in buying the cheaper option.
Yeah, its quite a big difference price wise and I am sure the ZV-1F is more than adequate for Vloggers and You Tubers like me and here in Thailand it is around 500 US $. And its super handy. I have used my old phone so far but the flipping out screen on the Sony is soo much better than guessing what the shot is going to be like with the back camera. But I have been on the fence like everyone else about the ZV-1F vs the ZV-1, but you have convinced me that the ZV-1F is more than enough for me as a new You Tuber. Great review thx 😉
Thank you sir. You made my final decision today to really go for zv1f than iphone15 pro.
This was really helpful! I can so relate with running out of space and trying to delete something from my phone to capture that moment 🤣 that's a big reason I bought the ZV 1F... the price was a huge factor for me too. I'm excited to use it!
bestie! i had this issue with my iphone 12 on a trip recently ahhhh so stressful when u dont have to ability to transfer ur videos/pics on a trip 😅
I’m next to get it I wonder if it’s good to record basketball games
Deepends on where you record from. You could probably record the whole court from the middle of the bleachers.
I’m loving mine!
My man you gained a sub, thank you
Hey man great video I’m glad you put this out for us smaller creators that are trying to up our game. Did you use the cameras microphone or use an external one?
Thanks for this camera review! We've been looking around for a little while for a camera to use for our vlogs instead of our phones & after dealing with *thinking* we shot a whole video on our phones and it being stopped in the middle without us knowing due to not having enough storage, we looked into the ZV-1 and ZV-1F. Definitely deciding on the ZV-1F after watching this comparison. Can't beat the price and features included in the ZV-1F!
That's horrible to hear about the uncaptured footage.
Glad you found the comparison helpful.
Agreed! Picking up one for my wife. She wants a small simple camera she can go out and about with to take a couple photos and video for her IG. She feel in love with the ease of my Fuji x100f and this will be a great little camera for her since it’s a bit better. Plus the easy webcam functions.
The webcam is super easy. Literally plug and play.
I know you made this video over a year ago but I literally told a friend about this camera yesterday he wants to get into making some simple videos and then I realize dthat the cameras currently on sale for 400 bucks! What a deal! I have an FX3 and a A74 and this little camera and honestly this little camera is the most fun.
Hero of the People! this review made me so confused as an owner of zv1 with ulanzi, I’m in a dilemma now. I put my phone on the table , flipped it upside down and smashed on the thumbs down button.
Jokes aside, maybe the deal breaker is the lack of ability to shoot raw photos. Appreciate the review cheers
Thank you for this. Seriously!
Finally a good review on the cameras. Everybody else was talking Str8 BS. Thank You 🙏
Was watching this and at the end subscribed… was expecting you to have 20k subscribers! Really good content keep it up ❤
Thanks!
Two babies, full time school, Church and finally a new job have had me separated from the creation process, but I'll be back to it soon.
@@HighlyExcellent hopefully big and upcoming reviewer for sure, where you using the in built microphones on these videos?
Yep! The quality of the 1F was actually better than the ZV-1, though I had that windy section to adjust for in Davinci Resolve, so overall the fidelity is actually reduced from original.
I think you nailed it when you speculated on why we don't see ZV1 to ZB1F direct comparison videos.
Great video and thank you for being honest
Thank you.
I'll have another out within the week. Subscribe if you would like to see more.
Damn.
I was reeeeeally close to buying the ZV-1 but after watching this I'll add the F to it.
Thanks for this side by side comparison.
Great stuff. Subscribed. 🙏
i really enjoyed every single argument. Thank you. Keep it up
Thank you for watching.
I came across your video after watching the exact Gerald Undone video you reference. Your example of sacrificing a cute video of your son in order to take another completely resonated with me. My phone is at capacity and I am constantly faced with these choices. My cameras never are. The two platforms should never be compared in an apples-to-apples fashion.
For me, I film a lot of stuff from a stationary perspective when I am either on my soapbox or doing a tutorial video. I needed something more compact and portable than my DSLR gear, wide angle, and NOT GoPro (I want to launch my GoPro into the sun).
Your review sold me on this compact, all-in-one daily driver. I am looking forward to giving it a spin over the next couple weeks.
Great review, thank you!
👊🏻
This video made buy the ZV-1F , such an honest review , thank you
Subbed
This was an eye opener
Since im going mainly for a live stream/ stationary camera, tthe ZV-1F looks good enough for me! Thanks for saving me money lol
This is what people should watch. A fair comparison between two devices that at the same price point. Many youtuber try to compare one to another product that not even a contest for it. Like how people compare ZV 1F with ZV E10. It just makes the ZV 1F feels like a "wrong pick" for you.
Good review 👍 keep it up!
Will do!
I've had a lot of work to do for school and caring for my boy but I have some things in mind.
I like that saying comparison is the their of joy. People are always trying to chase after the latest and greatest and consequently more expensive. But sometimes you can find what you need in with a descent price and good form factor.
Yep! And there was an Open Box of the ZV-1F this week - not everybody's cup of tea, but it knocked $100 off.
this is a very good review. Did you add a microphone on your cameras for the sound ? Or is it the buil in microphone of sony's camera ? :)
cool. 1 yr ago and still helpful, thanks!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!!
Finally a comparison that the old man noncamera/video person like me can understand. Question though...I am going to use the zv1f for mainly stationary video in my workshop and was wondering if there was an accessory available to plug in wall to run off electricity instead of battery in case of battery running down before finishing?
Thanks for your great content!! New subscriber!
You can plug in a USB C cord to charge it while recording. This camera doesn't need any fancy gizmos.
Good comparison. Thanks.
I rarely leave comments, but I enjoyed this candid review even 7 months later. Subbing.
Thanks!
I'll get back to it when I can! Active toddler, brand new boy, work and IT certs!
This video just convinced me to get the zv-1f right now
Good one. I just did a comparison too the other day and I'm still undecided. My biggest issue is that they got rid of the slomo features, that was great for archery shots. On the other hand I love the usb-c, wider lens and the fact that the lens doesn't move, especially by mistake when it's in my backpack..
Such is camera-owning. You can't get exactly what you want.
Here's to hoping the "ZV-2" will be the best of both!
@@HighlyExcellent Too true. fingers crossed for the ZV-2!
Best video comparison EVER!
A really valueable video.
Came from seeing your picture on Best Buy 😅 good marketing
Honest ... simple. Straight to the point. ZV1f is the way to go ...
Fun fact. The small rig cage for the ZV1 also fits on the ZV1f. I tried it last night. There is a tiny tiny space under the camera when mounted but no danger of it coming out as the main grip on the lense housing is so good. Fingers crossed that small rig makes a houseing just for the zv1F though!
Awesome!
Wow! because one of the reviewers said that it didn't fit! Thanks for letting us know.
Looking into getting a budget camera, ZV1 after lots of comparing seems the best choice for me, the final decisive difference being the near lack of rolling shutter on the zv1, even at 4k 30 fps. More expensive cameras even have rolling shutter where the zv1 doesn't, it's bonkers and great value.
I bought ZV-1 for very same reason. I wanted minimal rolling shutter, large sensor and good autofocus.
Those 1/2.3" sensor cameras have fast sensor but next suitable model for me after Sony ZV-1 was Sony a7s III or Sony FX3. That is a lot bigger, harder to stabilize and costs more.
I did a lot of research before buying.. I would definitely wanted to buy M4/3 Black Magic pocket cinema as I kind of like M4/3 size and lenses but I didn't like that rolling shutter, and also wanted slow motion.
So for my needs, there was huge price and size difference between $550 ZV-1 or some full frame FX3.
Hi, thank u alot for your video. Im a film student and I wanted to get myself a vlogging camera because I wanted to start vlogging and learning more how to document moments using a camera. I struggled with my iPhone XS a lot because I never have storage and im pretty done with all the vintage camcorders I got myself. I need to learn on a real camera. But im sooooo lost because everyone is hating on the zv1f and even on the zv1! now they all want the zv1 mark2 and its so expensive. I don't know what to do. even 500$ is a lot of money.
Thanks for the great talking/walking head comparison! I am liking the handheld stabilization on the two cameras. I really like the wider angle 20mm lens of the ZV-1F and the colors are really nice with the filter you used which help get great exposure. Still, I’m one who really likes the colors out of the ZV1 as well. The lamp posts 0:46 and 1:13 on the wider angle shot, (ZV-1F) looks really distorted, (barrel distortion), and I’m assuming it is straight in real life. Is it possible to enable the lens compensation feature on the ZV1-F to correct this. Not that it isn’t there with the ZV1, but not as apparent, (the tighter focal length crops in more on your face). On the ZV-1 blown out highlights is the built in ND filter on? You can also turn on Dynamic Range Optimization, (DRO), or even change the metering setting to preserve highlights, which is effective in correcting some of that. You should be able to do the same on the ZV1F, (minus built in ND filter), but I think you are saying you don’t want to have to fiddle with those settings to get a good image with this type of camera.
You are definitely a hero!! 😆 I really did appreciate this. Now I don’t have to save up $700….the zv 1f seems far superior.
Finally someone is being honest and made me optimistic again that i can buy zv1f and still be pleased 😅😅😅😅
Thanks for this video will be able to save money... lol. Is the cover you are referring to the 40.5mm on Amazon?
