Yeah that's great because I had heard about this new model a week or two ago I don't know where, and how it was such a bang for the buck, but I thought that Sony probably had better options out there. Since I'm not a professional but I really appreciate photography as an activity on my trips and other important moments, I want the best product at the lowest cost, especially since in photo, you get drowned with additional purchases like lenses, batteries, and other stuff. So it's important to know the other options out there!

You can tell this review is being done by someone who REALLY knows what they're talking about and has plenty of experience with the entire product category and all the competition in the segment. That's an issue I've always had with LMG in certain product categories, like laptops. They only care about high end 13" thin and lights and compare everything to that. Some of us actually prefer bigger screen laptops with a bit more power and battery life. Brandon also knows his shit when it comes to cameras but I feel like he lacks the confidence to really tell people what's good for them. He mostly just sticks to the facts.

Well, David, your sparkling personality during camera reviews is something the AI will never be able to take away from you.

Nikon Z doesn't have the best cameras, but lenses like the little 40mm 1.8 full frame prime sure make it appealing if you haven't bought into another system.

Soft Skin Effect is NOT an AI feature. It uses face detection used for autofocus to track your face and blurs out the contrasting details on your skin. Does not affect lighting nor does it look good on everyone, yet is toggled on by default.

That was a great video. ZV-E1 looks very tempting... but one point that needs to be mentioned is that once you add a decent full frame lens onto it, the size + weight has just gone way up. Camera newbies need to be aware of that before they jump into the expensive (and heavy) world of full frame.

The overheating issues are a dealbreaker for me

14:54 little correction here: yes in theory not having a mechanical shutter does degrade image quality a bit. However, this sensor reads out so quickly that i never had any problems with rolling shutter, and the theoretical loss in dynamic range is also absolutely not noticeable. I mainly use my a7sIII for photography (i'm weird, i know) and i always shoot in silent mode and the results are amazing. Oh and 12mp are totally enough for 95% of usecases imo.

I love how fast he talks and how passionate about it is he :D Awesome job, David! I hope you host more in the future :)

Great review- really appreciate the level of detail and overview of features.

So hyped for this one, Sony has been doing a crazy job the last few years with cameras they seem to be leagues ahead for price. This may well be a no brainer option if you can get hold of one! Such a shame about the shutter though grrrr.

I just got the standard ZV-1 for about £500 and am super please with it. It’s a great starting out camera for me

Great energy and confidence from David 🙂

This is an awesome camera. Also great that you mentioned the Canon R8, a kind of forgotten camera that has 4K 60p oversampled from 6K at just $1499. Between Sony, Panasonic and Canon we are getting insane full-frame cameras for the value.

Definitely a great freaking camera. It won’t bleed into the fx6 or fx3 for client work ever in my opinion with its overheating issues. For someone who’s been using an fx3 but didn’t *need* that body style or horsepower per say are going to love this. Heck I almost want it but I’m happy with my fx30!

Ah love this. Excellent video, lots of great detail.

This is a style of videos i like. Put everything on the table and talk over all options / settings.

I'm so glad they fixed that silly mode selection button and turned it into a 3-state switch. Huge improvement. I wish the camera would give you a warning if you start shooting video in "Camera Mode" too. I've done that a number of times and it kills the autofocus - you're standing there wondering why it won't stick to your face :(

little correction for you guys : at 2:01, you're talking about a ZV-E10 but actually show an A7IV on screen. And at 2:25, you catpion "A7IV camera" but David is actually holding a ZV-E10 Basically, the ZV-E1 is a super powerful camera, and you can look at it several ways: it's an A7S3 with all the photographic features removed (no mechanical shutter, no EVF, no large grip, limited controls). If you were using the A7S3 for video only and you're not bothered by the record times, ZV-E1 is pretty much the same thing, just cheaper. However, I know a few people that work with A7S3s and those people are fine with 12MP images when they're taking pictures, it's actually perfect for photojournalism and the A7S3 ends up being a workhorse for modern journalists that don't need much of a super high res picture (12Mp is more than enough for web / newspaper use), but they actually need good video specs it's an FX3 with the fan removed, and with simplified controls. Basically, if you aren't bothered by the record times, it could be alright, but there is no doubt the FX 3 runs longer, has backup recording, better interface (full size HDMI, better RAW support) and is easier to rig. Not really gonna mention the FX6, if you were looking at an FX6 you're most likely not interested at the ZV-E1 If you are looking for a decent cinema like camera for about 2k USD, you can either go with the ZV-E1, or go with the pretty new as well FX30, which is basically the FX3 with a smaller APS-C sensor, not only being more versatile on the photo side (if needed), but also having all the nice features that the FX3 body offers. Also! On the subject of the S5II, the autofocus is pretty good, almost as good as teh A7IV in video now that they use phase detect autofocus. It was however pretty bad ont eh original Lumix S5 (which was basically the same thing just without PDAF) Imho, if you're looking as Sony and you want a serious video camera, the big question is between the FX30 and the ZV-E1. David mentionned that you can shoot in crop mode if you have APS-C E mount glass, but if you have those lenses, then FX30 is even more a no brainer

David, you're good and you have your unique style of making videos. With that said, I still miss Brandon.

Nicely done. I feel like temps will always be an issue with this camera.

I welcome David being the new camera unboxing guy. I hope he continues in the future

I don't know much of anything about cameras, but if it's mainly being used for video and heat is an issue, then they should make the processor unit be a separate, attachable device (via cable) with active cooling, so you're not limited to just 15 or 30 mins or whatever of recording time before it overheats. Plus it would be cool to be able to upgrade just the processing unit every few years. I mean, it seems at this point cameras are making more strides in the electronics/processing than the actual camera hardware (lens, sensor, shutter, etc) from generation to generation anyways, so why not? They could still keep the necessary hardware inside it for video/photo for portability. Maybe I'm just off my rocker but it seems like something they could do

Thank you for reviewing this and explain it to layman terms

Hi there! Great video!! However, regarding Temperature, can it be used as camera source to stream 2+ hours on 1080p or also will get knocked off ?

I think given the heat problems on the brand new out of the box model, there might be some serious longevity problems with the ZV-E1 (I guess folks will just have to wait and see).

The lack of good cooling is annoying on an otherwise great camera. Currently use a zv1 and the thermal shutdowns are absolutely annoying, so much so I'm looking at the fx30 as the upgrade instead of anything in the ZV line.

ZV-E1 has more dedicated features for vloggers who will shoot themselves at 24/30 fps most of the time. S5ii loses auto focus at 6k and HD 120 fps and there is warping /jello at the sides during active stabilisation.

Seems like an amazing all-around video camera.

Finally all these new cameras are slowly introducing all the features that my Samsung NX1 had 8 years ago. Sony is basically the only upgrade option for me feature wise.

Hell yeah David! Nice one.

quite professional explanation for tech quicky

I’m confused with the placement of their new cameras tho. Why go for the FX series when the ZV series exist? Of course I get the amount of buttons available for the FX series but thats about it for the differences.

It's nice to know not every product from every company is a race to the bottom. And actually Sony does a pretty good job with most of its notable consumer electronics. Playstation, TVs, cameras, and headphones are all categories that Sony absolutely kills it in.

Love the jazz in the backgrund :)

am i trippin or are the descriptions in the video wrong? at 2:24 it says a7 iv, but im pretty sure the white camera is an a6000 series camera. and at 2:01 david talks about how its quite a bit larger than the zv-e10 and the video shows an a7 iv

Is the 3.5 mm jack also usable for a microphone? like, if I want my camera 2 meters away from me and I have a microphone in front of me...can I use this 3.5 mm jack for that mic?

I want a ZV-10 successor; the thing I loved it had the power-zoom toggle, but the video quality and video options out of that camera was not on par with what I would expect from Sony. Would love to build an APS-C amateur rig around the PZ 18-105 f4 lens.

Hey linus Make a video where you add cooling to this camera - - make a threaded negative to the back of the camera ( behind the screen) with a thermal transfer plate attached to the processor - {to take the heat from the processor to the back of the camera } - make a small heatsink that can thread into this negative with active cooling - When you want to record long, flip out the screen and thread in this cooler - since the transfer plate is in the thread, it won't affect the monitor if you decided to use the camera without the active cooler This could be a really nice video and you'll get to use a lot of your fancy tools Please do it ✌🏽

As a camcorder user I would love to see sony put this sort of sensor and features into a camera with the form factor and optical image stabilisation of the AX53. That would be my dream camera.

Nice reference to They Live.

What is the material from which the Sony ZV-E1 is made? Polycarbonate or metal (magnesium or aluminum)?

At 2:22, it looks like you mislabeled the ZV-E10 as the A7IV. Just a heads up!
