Sony ZV-E1 Full Frame Mirrorless Vlog Camera (White)

This camera is overall amazing. 4K60 (4K120 coming soon) and many other features of the FX3 in a body that's barely over $2000. However, don't try to make this camera something it isn't. It won't be the end all be all for professional video work, as it's body is made of plastic, probably isn't as highly weather sealed as more expensive bodies, and it does overheat after recording for some time in high resolutions (physics always wins). In 70 degrees of shade with no breeze, you should see about 30 minutes of recording in 4K60 before the camera shuts down. With hotter temps, you'll see less, but if there is a breeze, you may see quite a bit more.This camera is made for those recording shorter clips at a time, not for wedding videographers or those doing long ... MoreThis camera is overall amazing. 4K60 (4K120 coming soon) and many other features of the FX3 in a body that's barely over $2000.

The on board mic is great if you don't want to have to worry about carrying an external one, and the stabilization is incredible, although does come with somewhat of a crop for the best stabilization modes. Overall, I'm very happy with this camera, and if you're a content creator or someone who records shorter clips like B-Roll or highlights, this would be a great addition to your camera lineup.

I am sorry I had to return this camera because of overheating issues which made the camera unusable. The specs are great and so it's the image quality but I could not use it more than 10 minutes because it would shut down. I have tried different formats, resolutions and frame rates and it did not work properly. It shut down also just by scrolling through the menu for 10 minutes. It might have a been a defective production but that was my experience.I'm a professional videomaker and tested the camera either for vlogging and on a professional shoot and didn't have any luck.The design is nice and compact and very portable and probably that is one of the causes for overheating. The menu is still too complicated and dispersive.It would be a lovely camera if it ... MoreI am sorry I had to return this camera because of overheating issues which made the camera unusable.

I am truly enjoying the use of this camera. Excellent picture quality and many, high-end features normally found on more expensive cameras.
