The Sony ZV-1 is one of the best vlogger cameras on the market. It's compact, easy-to-use and feature packed.
Immaculate images
Any decent vlogger needs better than decent images and the Sony ZV-1 Vlog Camera really delivers in this department. That's thanks to a 20.1MP 1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS image sensor, wide-aperture lens, and a BIONZ X image processing engine for highly detailed images. To prove you're no amateur, you can achieve professional background bokeh in low-light environments.
A smooth operator
Thanks to AI technology, the Sony ZV-1's auto focus sticks to your face when you need it, but the Fast Hybrid AF system lets you quickly focus on another subject, allowing for a smooth transition that is the mark of the more professional vlogger.
Anywhere, any conditions
Thanks to outstanding image stabilisation, the ZV-1 allows for smooth footage while you're on the move. Meanwhile, with automatic exposure you can easily adapt to lighting changes and keep the images looking sharp and bright.
The sound is as good as the footage
Audio quality is just as important as video when it comes to vlogging and the Sony ZV-1 is brilliant in this department as well. It comes with a directional 3-capsule microphone and a wind screen which gives you optimum sound no matter where you're recording.
Share your footage with ease
What's the point of being a vlogger if the rest of the world can't see what you've recorded? Thanks to a quick download of the Imaging Edge mobile app, the Sony ZV-1 Camera lets you easily transfer images to your compatible smartphone, edit them, and upload to your social channels of choice.
A newer model Sony ZV-1 II was released in May 2023.

Sony ZV-1 review
The Sony ZV-1 is the best compact vlogging camera you can buy. Its mix of a bright lens, superb autofocus and design tweaks like the side-flipping screen make it a powerful pocket video option with few peers. Those seeking super-smooth walking footage might find its image stabilization a slight let-down, and it has a few familiar usability quirks, but the ZV-1 remains the best video all-rounder in its weight class.- Class-leading autofocus
- Bright lens for lovely video bokeh
- Hotshoe and 3.5mm mic port
- Side-flipping screen ideal for video
- Fits in your pocket
- Average video stabilization
- Touchscreen still very limited
- Micro USB rather than USB-C

- lightweight and compact
- Fully articulating screen
- Video-friendly specs
- Cheaper than RX100 series
- Image stabilisation could be better
- Can’t use the touchscreen for everything
