I’ve been on the fence with the Sony A7C II, Canon R8 and This body. I cannot choose. Too hard but something about the ZV-E1 just has me coming back to it. Thanks for making this bro. Definitely subbing.
Last July, I weighed my options between the α6700 and the ZV-E1 before ultimately settling on the α7 IV. Its larger sensor (33MP vs 12 MP) and crisper 4K video quality (over-sampled from 7K) swayed my decision. Although the α7 IV initially met my expectations, I encountered a slowdown in my workflow during personal projects in August and September when I needed to switch between photo and video modes. I needed different focal lengths for photos and videos, making lens changes cumbersome. However, at the start of this year, I realised that the ZV-E1 would better cater to my video requirements, and indeed it does. Now, my setup operates almost seamlessly, with the α7 IV paired with the Tamron 35-150mm and the ZV-E1 with the Sony 24mm F2.8 G. The latter combination is compact, inconspicuous and less intimidating, perfect when in public settings.
Really good video! Loved your storytelling and how you described the camera itself but also how it fits into your life. Recently purchased the ZV-E1 for basically exactly what you described I just have been scared to get out and film so thanks for the inspo 🎥
Currently my everyday cam is the FX30, I had the A7C for everyday and my FX30 but sold the A7C to wait for another daily cam. in the meantime I'm using the FX30 for both everyday and purposeful short films. Hope to grab the ZVe1 soon. The reasons you are sharing here are in line with my reasonings on getting one. Great Vid!
I got the Sony A7RV as my prime camera a few months ago. I love that camera, but I don't feel comfortable taking the camera with me as I walk around the city. The Sony ZV E1 seems to be a good fit. Thank you for the video. I'm really considering getting it. The 2 cameras should complement each other pretty good.
Great video! I just got the zv-e1, and im wondering for someone like me that shoots mainly video as an enthusiast but like to have great looking photos at the time that i am, if the zv-e1 is right for it, or perhaps i should get the sony A7R V ? Whats ur take on it ? I mainly create videos for youtube, but like to take photos from time to time, and just like what u said in the video, the size factor of the zv-e1 really appealing
Personally, I do not shoot photos with the ZV-E1, but the few times I have had great results! with that being said you should check out the A7 IV. Will get you as close to a hybrid as you can!
Have you had any issues uploading raw photos from the Sony zve1 to your MacBook Pro? Mine aren’t uploading to it or even opening unless I make them jpeg. Also, I’m having trouble when I’m putting my videos with this camera into premiere pro. Laggy and slow and freezing when editing. The file sizes are really big with this camera. Any tips?
It can depending on how long you shoot for and whether there's moving air in your environment, but you can use a tiny USB-C fan to prevent overheating indoors. people have also found various other strategies. So far I've only had it get quite warm once when I was using it for like 30 minutes during a plane landing, but with my style of shooting it's not overheated yet
I really feel like people need to stop asking if this camera overheats. This camera is Hated so much because of it and i don't get it. Unless you get paid a lot of money for a client shoot, you shouldn't worry if this will overheat. Please spread the word and thank you for this video
What is your daily camera?!
Cameron eos 5d Mark 11 (or 2) camera.
I love just using my Canon EOS M6 Mark-II; its a cropped sensor but still looks great
I just got the ZV-E1 a short while back, loving it so far
ZV-E1, with exactly the same intent than you!

Lemme know what you end up with!!
Love your energy, thanks for sharing. (Just purchased a used ZVE1, I'll be bringing it along with me on my trips this summer)

Awesome! Thank you!
Good work brotha
Appreciate the Love
i agree. i have this camera and i wanna vlog more but i just dont wanna get constant looks and stuff
The sensor develops regular hot pixels, visible in very low light at high ISO. The pixel mapping gets rid but new ones crop up all the time.

Great analysis of how this camera 📸 can be used and its benefits for users.
Appreciate the love!!

Totally agree!
I have the ZV-E1 but I notice it has alot of micro jitters. Especially when panning. The walk Vlog also is kinda shakey even in Dynamic Active
How is the shock mount while walking and vlogging
It’s great!!
Cool 😎 now I have this small cam beast too 🙈 great b-cam to my bigger Fx6 😅
Enjoy it
Great video!

@@josephlipsen1 isnt the A7R V the newer version of it ?
What mic settings do you recommend for the ecm-m1? My auto settings captures all the tiny little noises more than my voice
I always have the NC on ans usually keep it at -10 with the DB control at auto!
Is it good with taking photos ?😊
It’s all right! It will get the job done but as a street camera it’s a bit tough
Sold my black one for the white one 💰💰🔥🔥
White one is CLEANNNN
@@josephlipsen1 Just picked it up like 2 hrs ago lol! White is to cleann!!
Do you use dynamic active stab when vlogging?
No!
@@josephlipsen1 looks terrible panning side to side right?
What lens are good for vlog? 20mm 1.8g?
I think anything 20mm and under
16-35 is my favorite

I’ve had no issues with that! Are you using an intel or M chip MacBook?
Hey, what's the name of the mic on the camera?
Sony ECM-M1!
Does this camera overheat?

@@Erisponsibility were you shooting in 4k 24p or 4k 60 when you notice that?
@@ChillStudyDate 4K 25p XAVC S iirc
I’ve had no overheating problems but I’m also not pushing it to the limits when I need to push the limits I just go straight to the FX3
