Sony ZV-E1

Sony's full-frame ZV-E1 camera delivers fantastic results for videos and vlogs thanks to a stabilized sensor, S-Cinetone color, and a number of AI-powered features to assist creators operating without the benefit of a crew.

The Sony ZV-E1 is a very good vlogging camera, particularly for those who tend to shoot in less controlled lighting conditions or in low light and can benefit from its full-frame sensor. That said, it's a strange proposition for most vloggers. It has in-body image stabilization, which can be a boon for handheld vlogging, but its size and ergonomics don't lend themselves to shooting in a selfie position, so you'll probably need a tripod grip for handheld shooting. On the upside, it's fairly lightweight and works well when mounted on a grip. It has an incredible sensor and very good internal recording specs, but it seems designed to do the work for you in many ways, which feels somewhat at odds with its high-spec video capabilities. Ultimately, if you want a high-end video camera but don't care about the nitty-gritty of videography, this camera is for you. Its many shooting modes and AI-enabled features make it easy to become a one-person vlogging enterprise if that's your goal. Just be aware that it can overheat quite easily.

The tiny Sony ZV-E1 is the most capable ‘vlogging’ camera available, and is overkill for most content creators, but it will likely surface on more serious video productions too, thanks to its clean 4K video image quality in any light, plus superb in-body image stabilization and autofocus. It also offers a simple control layout, and AI smarts that make life easy for modest crews, and hint at how cameras are likely to evolve.

Sony's flagship ZV camera combines the power and capabilities of a full-frame Alpha camera with the portability and features from its creator range to great effect. 

It might be ostensibly designed for vloggers, but the portability, performance and imaging power of the Sony ZV-E1 full-frame camera make it appealing to anyone who wants to make stunning video content. It’s not a great choice for photos, however, and some users will miss having a viewfinder and dual SD card slots.
