Compact, Vlogger-friendly features, Great picture quality
Outdated micro-USB charging system, Average stabilization, Average battery life,
The ZV-1 took components from the old RX-100 range and created a new breed of camera that appeals to content creators. It delivers excellent image quality and video quality and is perfect for people on the go. The battery life might not be the best, but y...

Small and lightweight, Fast autofocus with reliable face/eye tracking, Built-in high-quality microphone, Fully articulating screen, Good video quality,
Lens needs to be wider, No headphone port, Limited touch screen functions, Summary, The ZV-1 is Sony's first RX100-series camera designed specifically for vlogging. It does that job well thanks to a lightweight body, built-in high-quality microphone, flip
Steve Dent/EngadgetSo what's the verdict for vloggers? No camera is perfect, and the ZV-1 could benefit from a wider-angle lens, particularly with active stabilization. I'd also like a headphone port and a proper touchscreen. That amounts to nit-picking...
