    The original version has many many advantages. The Ulanzi wide adapter gets you wide enough, but it can be taken off to get much better tele. The original is much much more affordable. Plus the original has better Slo-Mo features. With the price difference it is Mark ONE all the way for me.

    Sony ZV-1 original is better choice for new or used. Optical stabilization, better aperture f1.8-2.8, wider zoom lens with ND filter is the best! Mechanical shutter makes it real hybrid photo+video camera. Mk2 - much worse.

I mostly shoot outside in Florida so the built in ND will be so nice to have! I also have had an occasional miss with the focus (on my face), that I’m sure this one won’t have an issue with. And I am excited it will give me some zoom range. I’m not worried about the f4 when zoomed, I’ll mostly be using it wide.

Much better choice than the ZV-E10 for example. So compact and the lens feels good enough for the price. It sells for about US$888 in Dubai, incl. the grip if you preorder and incl. all taxes. Not a bad deal no doubt!

    Ok, I really think that the mark ii is not worth buying, it is very limited. The form factor is really tiny, it maybe a pro, but there are so many cons...I definitely prefer the ZVE-10, the interchangeable lense camera with larger sensor. I am really curious to know what will be the ZVE-10 mark ii...And also, I want to be insane, really mad guy...Do you want ultimate vlogging and street photography camera and money is n o t an issue for you? Go for the Leica Q3, a camera from another galaxy...6000$ full frame 60 mp camera with a fixed 28mm f1.7 lens...its a dream

    I have had all of them, I sold the Sony A6400 to buy the Sony ZV E10, which is MUCH better for vlogging, there is not comparison between the two camera. I also use the Sony ZV1, if you only have one camera and vlogging is your thing get the Sony ZV1 Mark 2 with a few batteries. You will never use the A6400 again.

    Biggest upgrade is the USB-C plug and 18mm lens. Wish it had a 10-70mm lens, it would almost make it the perfect camera and I would be upgrading. Using the ZV1 as a B camera or pocket camera (it goes with me where I go), I think I will stick with what I have the upgrade is not enough to justify buying a new camera. My main camera is the Sony ZV E10 with the Sony 10-18mm lens.

The touchscreen is finnicky (and the playback mode has this marker button that wont go away unless you turn touch off). The AI mic pickup is only marginally better than the M1. Esp if using it for intelligent auto, the m1 has m2 beat.
