Sony’s new ZV-1F vlogging camera comes with a lower price but a lot fewer features
20-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor that can record 4K at up to 30 frames per second or 1080p up to 120fps for slow motion. The ZV-1F will run $499 in all black or white with a silver lens, and it’s due out in late October.
While the Sony ZV-1F’s price sounds appealing for anyone looking at an affordable way to get into vlogging, there are some key omissions that likely helped Sony undercut its own ZV-1 by $250. First off, there is no support for RAW photo captures, rendering this camera super limited for anyone looking to do both stills and video.
Sure, it can lock onto you with eye-tracking autofocus, but if the contrast-detect system creates a lot of wobbling focus effects, that’s not going to look great in a vlog. The ZV-1F has a tilt-and-swivel LCD but no electronic viewfinder or option of attaching an add-on one.If these are tradeoffs you can make for $499, the ZV-1F does offer a very lightweight body — just 8.1 ounces / 229 grams — and an articulating screen for easy self-recording. It also features a cleaned-up menu system borrowed from pro cameras like the Sony A1 and A7 IV.
Another established feature here from Sony’s other cameras is Product Showcase, which sets the ZV-1F to focus on the subject’s face, quickly track autofocus to any items the presenter holds up to the camera, and return to focusing on the eye when it’s put down. And like most cameras released today, it can be used for livestreaming by just plugging it into a computer via USB-C.
