Thank you Gerald Undone for loaning him this camera to test with (lol on Camera Canada getting early access to this camera, we know who REALLY loaned it to you ;-) Alright... I'm done
Quick tip, when using s-log it's recommended to ETTR by at least like +2 EV and then bring it back down in post. Great video though this one was a lot of fun!
I have a new theory about vlogging. If you want to film the background just film it, behind the camera and filming the scenes. One can do narration and commentary in these situations behind the camera too. When you actually want to "Vlog" with your face in the scene, I think it's interesting to have a close up shot like they do in cinema where your face fills most of the screen. A 35 mm lens (full frame equivalent) will accomplish this excellentlly. There was a guy who filmed a ton of stuff in Japan over years, basically day to day life back in the 1990s and 80s with the camcorder. 90% of the video would be him filming his surroundings but every once in awhile he would turn the camera around and point it at his face where he would say something (the earliest known vlogger in history). He is on RUclips where he has been posting all these videos, unfortunately I forgot his name. That is why I think there are many different styles of vlogging.
The walk and talk shot is incredibly boring and overused today. Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing to cut to the b-roll with narration it’s also easier to think of better narration in post this way. The only person I want to see walk and talk are Casey Niestat or Camera Conspiracies.
@@codyjwoods agree but many creators like the walk and talk format because it’s easy and doesn’t require much thought, skill or attention to the camera when using something like an action camera. There are many travel vloggers who are quite successful with this format and another plus side is their videos require little to no editing. I’m thinking of guys like Harald Baldr, Bald and Bankrupt, Volpe, Kurt Caz and others. If you look on social blade this sort of vlogging is very successful.
One of your funniest videos in a while. Several LOL moments. Also Sony should send you all of their cameras. I had basically written this off based on other reviews from Tony and Chelsea, Jared and Ted Forbes. to see you using it as a proper vlogging camera the way a vlogger really would and not just pretending to be a vlogger and the additional side-by-side comparison with the GoPro which does seem like it is the current vlogging champion. The video quality from the Sony just blows the GoPro out of the water. Considering I'm already well in the Sony ecosystem with my a73 this may have given me a reason to look at a new camera again. Thanks Casey! P.S. did you catch that where Tony told the world that he watches your videos? In their 1 million subscribers video, he clearly stated he does not watch any other photography channels however he does watch "comedy!". If that wasn't an Easter egg acknowledgement of your greatness I don't know what would be. Keep it up Casey. Soon all the camera companies will be begging you to help them design the perfect cameras.
This is actually a really fun camera to use. It has some definitely flaws though, so stay tuned to tomorrow's video to explore it further :) It punches high above it's weight though that's for sure.
It's wide enough not to fit anyone else in the frame and the Toneh is good enough to make sure they're blurry if the corner of their head makes its way in the frame.
Once again you are the king of SloW-Mo street crossing... Congrats on being the last camera review guy I follow to actually review the camera.. I would not pay more than 400 for that brick.. Cheers mate! PS, The GoPro Was better!
Nobody has talked about the real phase of this Sony; cropped in by 4k and still tight with 1080p. Why no one talks about it, which is the most important but you. That is why smart people come to your channel and listen to your advice - REAL.
I TRULY enjoy your humor and personality. I've watched a few of your videos twice during my search for the next camera to use for my youtube channel. A perfect video to compare the camera I use and the one I might get. Keep that awesome sauce content coming.
Great review. What would you recommend for recording free hands with Sony ZV-1?. You have accesories for GoPro but I don’t know if you have the same for Sony.
That was the most tension-filled, danger-filled street crossing ever recorded on this channel. That kinda makes me want this camera to cross my streets in NY.
Funny review!!!! You did a great job! I liked the rosacea mode. 😂 I think I’m interested in the new Sony. What do you think of the Sony RX100 VA vs this new thing?
11:26 haha you initiate product focus by holding things in the middle of the screen. There is like a hotspot for it. That's why it didn't focus til you got closer to the center.
11:28 the problems you're having with the product focus is due to the fact that you are holding the objects outside of the center 60% of the frame (roughly). Every time you got it back "close to center" the stick came into sharp focus.
what camera would you recommend for vlogging, youtube stuff, under $1000k? I am looking into the ZV-1, Lumix G7, and Canon M50. Please advise! Love your humor
@@cameraconspiracies -- the internal Sony mic seems more "natural" (better freq response) than the built-in GoPro mic -- but of course it is going to pick up environmental noise also (darned noisy squirrels!)....
I can’t disagree with your comments about the angle of view, but I’ll be dammed because I’m buying it anyway. Image quality and autofocus are so good. I can live with the angle of view. GoPro still better for some situations of course.
I think the product showcase feature will only activate on objects that are near the centre of the frame, which is why sometimes the flowers didn't grab focus as they were too far left. I guess it's the same for the tripod, it went outside the centre so it ignored it.
Honestly out of every video you have made (and I have watched just about all of them) this video is the best looking quality (for focus, color, stabilization and all around) out of all of them. I think the ZV-1 may be it... I had just ordered a G-85 (I still have a G7 and GH5) and had not opened it yet to use as a light quick camera but after seeing this quality I am returning the G-85 and ordered a ZV-1... I don't care about the not so wide angle when I can just put it on a longer tripod or stick and solve that problem... Good job.
@@cameraconspiracies So which tripod do you like better? The SIRUI 3T-35 or Anker Nebula one I see you have now... I have the Sirui and is pretty solid but the Nebula looks like it may be easier to hold...
Me and my little daughter ...yeah since she saw your video's , she's also a regular viewer 🤩 -We came to the conclusion that the Sony has a more pleasing image. But she , only 9 y old 🤣 , said your face was way to close to the screen with tge SONY ZV-1 🤩😆!! I'm so proud now ... Grtzz your 6D budy 🤣😉
I think this is the third video I watch with you. You have this kind of weirdness to explain the things, that you are really unique!!! BTW, you mentioned Canada, but w...t..f ahha Canada has many of the best photos and videos reviewers and even websites like 500px! Sounds like the mecca.
LOL.. funniest and most entertaining review of the ZV-1 thus far. Just subbed and keep up the awesome work mate! Btw, I'd totally accept the field of view for the superior image quality and amazing features.

GoPro 8 is still not idiot proof... maybe GoPro 9 should shock you when you set EV to -1.
If a person only had $500 to spend on a camera what would you suggest?

Sony by a mile. The image is notably better and the gopro wide angle distortion sucks. It makes the arm look like a giant toothpick in the frame.
I hit like and then made a comment before even watching the video. I know this is going to be entertaining.
The thing I love about this channel is, at the stage I'm at with cameras, I wanna learn more about cameras just so I can get all of his in-jokes.
Another good funny channel is Grainydays. He's into (like myself) film cameras.
Whoa that Sony actually looks surprisingly good. Colours look so much better than they use to
That's most surprising. Very similar to Olympus colours.
At least 17 nose pores to the inch now

Started my Sunday off with a bang. I always look forward to your board meetings and street filming.
the image quality is beautiful
The, “what is he going to say next” suspense coupled with laughing can’t be good for my heart.
9:00 That glorious b-roll! My life will never be the same again now that I see the light!
You should try out one of the wide angle adapters for the rx100 series on the zv1
Link?
Link?
Every youtuber says its wide enough is sellout , because sony sends them a camera to review
Thats what I thought as well when I watched their reviews...
It's wide enough not to fit anyone else in the frame and the Toneh is good enough to make sure they're blurry if the corner of their head makes its way in the frame.
I was half-expecting Kasey to test “product mode” by picking up a squirrel and holding it up close to the lens.
He should have ... squirrel if f...ing out of focus ! Sony should at least add a Squirrel Mode!
Casey, when do we get the Squirrels of Toronto Conspiracies channel?
Once again you are the king of SloW-Mo street crossing... Congrats on being the last camera review guy I follow to actually review the camera.. I would not pay more than 400 for that brick.. Cheers mate! PS, The GoPro Was better!
Man this thing absolutely needs another 8-10mm on the wide end, its so close to being perfect
Thats what she said.. I think. Im not sure.

Most reviews talk about that
The favourite review has arrived
That ZV1 is a pretty impressive vlogging camera. It's almost as good as the X3000!
LOL!!! One of my favorite youtubers... great video man! I always enjoy watching your reviews.
I TRULY enjoy your humor and personality. I've watched a few of your videos twice during my search for the next camera to use for my youtube channel. A perfect video to compare the camera I use and the one I might get. Keep that awesome sauce content coming.
I'm curious about its low light videos
The image quality is really good. One of the best I’ve seen. Beautiful colors. It would be great if it’s way wider. 😃
Do you have any idea how many things in my life...are THIS big. God I love this channel.
kasey you look very happy with this camara I think the perfect camara came upon us my friend I cant wait to hear bord meeting room
Rumour is there is a board room meeting tomorrow :)
@@cameraconspiracies can't wait for it!
Camera Conspiracies OMG CANT WAIT help me!! :)
Discover Thailand same here
They need place the flippy screen in front of the lens, so you don't have to look off to the side.
Yeah with a hole in the screen like in the Galaxy S10
I would be interested to see what you think of the Neewer Wide Angle Lens attachment for the ZV-1
“I wish i could show it to you, but Sony doesn’t have... WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!” 😂
What Clip on Mic for used in this Video...The Voice is Good...
The Rosacea mode had me in tears! 😂👍
same same ... damn funny
" that's tight ....nobody said that " thanks my dinners all over the table now lol
Pretty sure that product mode only uses the center 1/3rd of the screen. But it doesn't seem to like horizontal objects also.
It's my first time dropping to your channel. Damn! I laughed 1000 times on you. I will definitely sub.
Please please try out the Lumix FZ2000/2500
I would never let that camera even look at me.
Great review. What would you recommend for recording free hands with Sony ZV-1?. You have accesories for GoPro but I don’t know if you have the same for Sony.
Thanks for your review! Couldn’t wait for zv-1 to arrive in The Philippines!
It was some of your best image quality with the Sony compared to all the other tests you’ve done. I think you should vlog with it from now on...
I just wanna say I really love your soundtracks. The one you use for the pigeon and squirrel slow motion is really dope.
Funny as hell these videos are worth, strange that your not sent every camera to test. I'm still laughing.
That was the most tension-filled, danger-filled street crossing ever recorded on this channel. That kinda makes me want this camera to cross my streets in NY.
Rosacea finder. 😅😅😅 This is the most entertaining review of this camera, and there are a LOT of them.
Funny review!!!! You did a great job! I liked the rosacea mode. 😂
I think I’m interested in the new Sony. What do you think of the Sony RX100 VA vs this new thing?
Man after the Gerald Undone comment how could I not sub!!! Informative and freakin' hilarious!!!
11:26 haha you initiate product focus by holding things in the middle of the screen. There is like a hotspot for it. That's why it didn't focus til you got closer to the center.
'Rosacea finder' I missed the next 10 seconds, funniest ever.
Wow, an new and improved panny lx100! ........ sold it last year for my Fuji xt30!
Just need to push Freewell into doing a wide angle lens adapter like they did for the DJI Osmo Pocket!
Then... not soo bad at all!
Sooooo much yes to this!!! I have a Zomei I use on my RX100 V and it works but it's huge and heavy. A freewell stick on would be perfect!
Maybe emailing them would help made up their mind. I've sent my request to Freewell. Waiting for feedbacks.
If nothing else, the funniest ZV-1 review by far.
Have you tried the Ulanzi wide-angle lens adapter yet?
Amazing little camera. I laughed so hard at the super slow motion street crossing 😂 I will definitely buy this camera 🙏 exelent content 💪
Best reviews on RUclips
You are my new favorite RUclipsr haha you're so funny!!!
ZV2 coming this time next year with equivalent 16-55 lens?
i love how you do vlog brother!! pretty unique!
11:28 the problems you're having with the product focus is due to the fact that you are holding the objects outside of the center 60% of the frame (roughly). Every time you got it back "close to center" the stick came into sharp focus.
Me likey! Wow! What a camera! Did Sony get it this time? This little camera looks like it’d be perfect for vlogging!
I watch your videos even if I have zero plans to buy the product :) Thanks for the camera entertainment :)
I like the subtle toneh on the ZV1, but the composition isn't as good as the wider GP. ZV1 picture was too sharp/contrasty to me.
DUUUUUUUDE!!! Your face is hilarious....had fun with this one.
Please test built-in ND filter.
I love this channel! The videos and the commenters always make me laugh.
you got a perfect blurry background. I'll buy an used one of this in 5 years.
the slo-mo B-roll crossing the street was hilarious!
Producto Showcase Mode works only around center of frame.
The only ZV1 review series that matters.
The stabilisation in active is not bad but it crops in so if sony can make a slightly wider lens.
Looks great to me, yeah could be wider however overall, size, image, audio etc... all looks like a winner.
what camera would you recommend for vlogging, youtube stuff, under $1000k? I am looking into the ZV-1, Lumix G7, and Canon M50. Please advise! Love your humor
DJI Pocket 2.
First time coming across your channel and you are hilarious! Loved your review. So fun. lol
probably the most entertaining tech reviewer ever 👍
Can Rx100 wide-angle adapters compensate the active stabilization cropping?
Which times did you use the lav mic on the Sony? Looks like you had it plugged into the Sony -- wanted to hear more the built-in mic....
Everything up to where I said I was using the lav mic was the internal mic. I had more recorded but I lost a bunch of footage somehow.
@@cameraconspiracies -- the internal Sony mic seems more "natural" (better freq response) than the built-in GoPro mic -- but of course it is going to pick up environmental noise also (darned noisy squirrels!)....
Oh wow, it looks amazing. Looks better than other aps-c cameras you used.
Do you have any idea of zv1 performance underwater?
Which video mood r u using
Is there any wide angle adapter that will fix sony mistake? Can you test that?
2:16 I'm sad for those who said Gerald Undone was wrong! 😂

One of the best squirrel footage you got on this channel!
One of these days that squirrel's gonna rip Kasey's lungs out. You can see it in the eyes.
I've said it before, no one crosses the street like this man!
"If this is your blog, this is the best mode". LOL 😂. It looks like a great little camera. Another great video 👍
how about Tony bokeh feature in this camera 🤔😎 is there?
I was wide open, that feature just takes Toneh away lol.
that 70mm shot had me dying for whatever reason

I would absolutely use the ZV1 over the G85 for vlogging. I think you'd need aps-c or even full frame to even notice an image quality increase.

With Sony ZV-1 should I get Ulanzi Wide Angle Lens with active steady or a Zhiyun Crane 2 or 3 with it (no stab on)?
“What a handy feature Sony bet you didn’t think it would be used like this.” 😂😂😂. Ps: best image quality not even a contest
