SonyAlpha ZV-E1 Full-frame Interchangeable Lens Mirrorless Vlog Camera with 28-60mm Lens - Black Body

I own many Sony cameras. a6400, a6600, a74 , fx3. zve1 is the latest addition. I bought it for one specific purpose… Auto-Framing! And it works flawlessly. It’s like having an extra camera man. Only thing I was worried was overheating issue every one talked about. For long recordings over 1 hour , I attach ulanzi fan and it seem to work well. I know this camera wasn’t really meant for photos but 12mp is plenty for social media. Highly recommend it.

This camera is over criticized and underrated. The people who talk bad about it never owned one and only reiterated what online reviewers said without actually using it. This camera has taken me through travels in the deserts of Texas, whole day music video shoots, and several sets. Not once has it overheated. This camera's power is underestimated not only with it's beautiful sensor, but also the features it has like it's mic (the best onboard mic I've had on a camera) the ai auto framing, the variable shutter, and the stabilization. Also, it's form factor is perfect because you can make it as small or big as you want with a cage. This camera has changed my life, not only in film-making, but how I see the world, and how I can use this tool to show it.I heard a lot of reviews online about the camera overheating, but I never had that issue. Honestly, even if it did, the beauty of this camera's sensor beats everything, from the dual native ISO to the amazing SLog 3 profile. I love the small form factor that helps me when traveling, documenting, and even gives more flexibilities on film sets. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who is interested in leveling up their videos and photos.

This camera could've been so great but the missing piece being an internal fan made this thing painfully useless. After watching countless "reviews" on YouTube highlighting it does overheat, I don't know if I received a defective model because the camera overheats just being on after 10-15 minutes, making it tremendously useless. Would've loved to actually test the incredible features it has but none of those matter if it overheats in a matter of minutes making it unreliable. Hoping they making a mark II version with an internal fan built in to keep it cool like all the other cameras Sony makes but for the time being the a7c II is damn near the same but HAS an internal fan and will be what I use. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA.

I use the Sony ZV-E1 as a webcam/mirror. I leave it on all day (but turn it off at night), and this is possible without any overheating problems thanks to a 3rd party fan attachment. You must buy one of these fans. Otherwise, the ZV-E1 will overheat constantly.This camera performs excellently in low light. In a dark room with just my computer monitors and a dim key light lighting me, I get satisfying exposure even with 1/60 shutter speed and a F2.8 lens. It needs like 12,800 to 25,600 ISO for it, but for webcam use, the picture still looks great. An F1.8 lens needs like 6400 to 12,800 ISO. An F1.4 lens needs around 2000-8000 ISO. (These might be overestimates too because I think I got these numbers while using 0 EV Compensation, but I discovered that I need to apply -0.7 EV Compensation to get the right brightness in my dark room. This means less ISO is required.)A month ago, I didn't know anything about cameras, and I was super anxious about picking the right one. Well, a month later I feel like I got the right one. It's an absolute beast in low light.

Amazing Autofocusing system and great video capabilities.Highly recommended
