Yes, definitely more Vlogs!! That beach looked amazing! I’m in South Dakota and it’s literally freezing here.🥶 This was a really good review though! I’m not big on iPhones, I have the Samsung s21 Ultra, because I just prefer a droid for my phone, but I buy the IPad for watching RUclips and etc. I’ve heard so many ppl saying the the iPhones are the best for Vloggers, so I was shocked to see this Sony ZV-1F just completely destroy the Apple competition! IMO, the Sony is a steal at that price point, and the difference in quality is unmistakable! Great job!! Merry Christmas Dom & Family!! 🎄☃️❄️
I have watched a minimum of 20 videos on the ZV1F for my first camera, so I don't shoot on my phone or an action camera, from other reviewers , and this is by far the very best video... not overly complicated, excellent comparisons vs iPhone, great real life examples, etc etc... totally underrated channel! following now! thank you. This has convinced me to give this camera a shot. Keep up the great work!
Hey Julio, I really appreciate the kind words! I honestly have been working so much that I haven’t put much effort into this channel, but my goal for this next year is to really get dedicated into it! Thanks for the motivation. Also, look at BH Photo for your ZV1F… they ALWAYS have them used now for a really good price.
@@rockazulla I think it's perfect for newbs (much better than cellphone quality in my opinion)! I loved using this camera, internal mic was really good too. I did upgrade to the zv1m2 mainly because of some occasional focus issues (but it was rare) I also wanted the built in ND filter. But I still recommend the zv1f for anyone interested in it! I usually used Active Stabilization too but it looked a tad better using Catalyst Browse to smooth the clips.
@@MollyFitzBrown aaah I see..... that's why I saw your new videos already upgraded one, your videos are great. Keep sharing and inspiring. And thank you for your review. Gonna get one for myself tomorrow. :) Have a good day
Zv1F Perfect camcorder that takes excellent pics. Easily fits pocket, extremely fun/easy to use & sic slowmo, Don't wait- get it & B happy. Thanks for your amazing review all of your points were true
Do you think you can make a video on best settings for zv-1f, or on how to maximize your camera, i just picked up my zv1f but i only keep coming across zv1 videos
Honestly, I think you’re good with just the iPhone w/ an external wireless mic. That’s how I’ve been doing it. iPhones are soooo good these days. 13 Pro or better is fine. I’m on the 14 Pro too w/ DJI wireless mic. I’ll probably pick up that Comica AirPods looking setup for on the go action.
what do you think about , buying iPhone 13 or SONY ZV-1 or GOPRO HERO11! or Sony ZV1F " I have Huawei phone p30 " SONY ZV-1 it's about 750 and GOPRO HERO11 is 500$ iPhone 13 is 800$ Sony ZV1F is 500$ I want my videos to be really good and look like Professional videos so, what do you think
Yes. I thought the video from the iPhone looked superior. I mean all you have to do is just add a cheap lav mic, and get a cheap phone handle, and you've got a complete vlog and edit/post set up, all in one. But if you don't have an iPhone, then the ZV1f is the obvious choice. However, if you wanted something that also looks great, and is smaller and lighter, then the DJI Pocket 2, is probably the best way.
@@TCXGamer 2 months later. But if you want also a new phone, go for the iPhone, if you are happy with your current phone and want a little nicer video footage, definitely go for the Sony ZV1F
@@TCXGamer upgrade your phone first then buy MacBook Air , airdrop your video for faster workflow, until you have enough money then try to buy camera 📸 fullframe better 😁
That’s tough Bret. I don’t know that there’s any mounts out there that I would trust on my motorcycle either. I may suggest getting a smallrig metal cage and then having a clamp to the bike that’s threaded down? They have bar mounts for action cams but I don’t know that they’re strong enough to hold the zv. Let me know your findings!

Sadly I e not shot many of those tbh. I think I’ve used the GM1 once and really likes it. I do like that 15mm 1.7, but can’t give you a lot of feedback because I didn’t use it a lot.
I bought it and used it for talking heads for literally 2 hours and it was hunting. If they had put a decent focus mechanism, I would keep it. But come on, the focus is crap. I'll just use my phone
Interesting, did you have good lighting or was it darK? I've had very little hunting especially when only 1 person was in the shot. I'd love to know your settings and setup
Interesting! Definitely more dynamic range on the iPhone, but I like the contrast and lens on the zv better. The real problem is the audio and wind noise. ZV1F makes it so much more convenient
@@DominicPhillip do you ever use Catalyst Browse? Appreciate it does add considerable time to the workflow in post but the results are really impressive and you don’t have to deal with that rolling shutter when using Active Stabilisation. I’ve picked up the Neewer wide angle lens and whilst it has some blurring at the edges it’s wide enough to be able to deal with the crop in Catalyst Browse when stabilising.
Should I put out more vlogs like this? Or stay in my lane of tech reviews?
Yes, definitely more Vlogs!! That beach looked amazing! I’m in South Dakota and it’s literally freezing here.🥶 This was a really good review though!

Hey, what a cool review!!!
Really great!
I like your storytelling mixed with all the needed facts.
Much love,
Matthias
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@DominicPhillip Absolutely 👋
Nice review, I went out vlogging with it and just LOVED using it! It was nice to enjoy vlogging and not worrying about gear at all!
Totally agree!
Do you think it's a proper vlogging kit? and what's your opinion to use this as a newb RUclipsr?

First time comment! Love your clear and honest review, I bought zv 1 f and loving it! Subscribing !!
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the camera.
I bought one for my wife ands she loves it. I’m very impressed with it. I might pick one up for myself for BTS and vlogs on set.
Thanks for watching. Do you post your vlogs? If so we need a link ✌🏽
I appreciated this review, thank you so much!

This is also something I would be interested in....
Great stuff!
Keep the videos coming. Good job!
thank you... I haven't got a clue but this helped in the iPhone vs zv-1f debate
buy iphone 14 pro then buy gimbal 100x way better than zv 1f trust me.
next month when you have enough money buy cheap fullframe mirrorless 😁
Thanks Phillip, I think I would get this one in no time.
Loved the video
Great content, love the comparison with the iPhone & the Song Vlog Camera ...I'
m looking into getting this Camera.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful
I’m trying to decide on this camera for tech reviews
I'd actually stay away now because others have hit the market that are better. I'd even look at the zv1 original that dropped in price a lot.
Thanks for sharing. This video has been helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
saludos! buen video

I do agree with you, I just don’t “enjoy” shooting on my phone. This camera is just so much more convenient and it’s more a joy to shoot.

Awesome review
Thank you! Cheers!
wife bought me this camera for christmas and i love it however having a hard time finding accessories especially a mount for my motorcycle
That’s tough Bret. I don’t know that there’s any mounts out there that I would trust on my motorcycle either. I may suggest getting a smallrig metal cage and then having a clamp to the bike that’s threaded down? They have bar mounts for action cams but I don’t know that they’re strong enough to hold the zv.

May I know what is your exact settings for this vlog? like creative look and/or color profile? PLEASEEE
really great review. very in-depth. I think the zv1f beats the iphone on that video.
Just discovered you.. nice channel
Thank you! Really nice to read comments like this, hope you stick around.
Ty!
YW
Distracted from the dust on the screen on the first few seconds of the video 🤣
I can’t tell you how much that bothered me! Test shot there was nothing, of course right after there’s a dirty lens. I still think about it 😂
but overall awesome content 👍🙏🏻📸
Thank you ✌🏽
Dynamic range is very good. A bit more wide lens would be better, but overall very good video quality. Cheers!
Agreed. If it was a true 20mm after stabilizing it would be ideal
Pentax Q7
Panasonic Lumix GM1 (15mm 1.7 Panasonic lense)
Panasonic Lumix GM5
Olympus E-PL5
Olympus stylus 1
Sorry to bother you with so many models to your way I just wanted to ask for an expert opinion hope you can help me as I'm not aware much of what to get just some basic need for a hobby and the selection above is what I narrowed it down, just wanted to know which one of then are more compact and fun to use
Would really appreciate it
Other then this what is your self opinion on which I have not mentioned above ?
Sadly I e not shot many of those tbh. I think I’ve used the GM1 once and really likes it. I do like that 15mm 1.7, but can’t give you a lot of feedback because I didn’t use it a lot.
@@DominicPhillip I appreciate your reply and thank for your time ✌🏼
damn, i feel like the rolling shutter makes it look cheap. I guess it's fine as long as you don't whip the camera around.
It does for sure. Definitely a flaw!
is it a fix lens? If so why not just get a Osmo or GoPro?
Do I need a powerful computer with a good graphics card or can I just use any regular laptop?
Would you be kind and tell me what settings are you using? Is it 4k or hd 60fps? Because it sort of seems smooth and clear at the same time.
Dude can you tell me your sunglasses model ?
I bought it and used it for talking heads for literally 2 hours and it was hunting. If they had put a decent focus mechanism, I would keep it. But come on, the focus is crap. I'll just use my phone
Interesting, did you have good lighting or was it darK? I've had very little hunting especially when only 1 person was in the shot. I'd love to know your settings and setup
@@DominicPhillip this is the issue I’m having ! It’s becoming super overwhelming
Hey man, where did you get music for this video?
Epidemic sound. I have a link in the bio. they're great if you don't mind paying a bit
How much price sir thi camera
Was there any color grading done to this video?
good enough!
Hows the battery life?
pretty bad to be honest. but wasabi batteries are cheap. I bought like 4
More Vlogs please….and I liked the iPhone 14 Pro look better
Interesting! Definitely more dynamic range on the iPhone, but I like the contrast and lens on the zv better. The real problem is the audio and wind noise. ZV1F makes it so much more convenient
@@DominicPhillip I wanna see more of you Dalmatian 🐶 lol. I’m Croatian so I love ❤️ Dalmatians. 🇭🇷
Its wavy😅
does the video crop in when using 4k vs 1080p?
Did you adjust the Autofocus speed?
Nope, straight out of the box. Just turned off that stupid skin softening garbage
How do I transfer footage faster ?
I think the fastest is still via sd card reader
@@DominicPhillip which sd card did you use for this camera
good for vlogging, not ideal for photography though
Too shakey.. id use gopro for outdoor vlods like this
nah not convinced.. the focus seems to lost you some time. And the Rolling shutter is bs
I get it. The rolling shutter is a real thing, but the alternatives are going to cost more. So it’s all a trade off
@@DominicPhillip do you ever use Catalyst Browse?
Appreciate it does add considerable time to the workflow in post but the results are really impressive and you don’t have to deal with that rolling shutter when using Active Stabilisation.
I’ve picked up the Neewer wide angle lens and whilst it has some blurring at the edges it’s wide enough to be able to deal with the crop in Catalyst Browse when stabilising.
I’m having serious issues with the autofocus it keeps going in and out
I wonder if it's your copy? I don't have those issues unless it's really low light
