    Much better than last generation ZV1 but still far from perfect

    Much better than last generation ZV1 but still far from perfect
    As an Youtuber and content creator, I need a easy to use compact camera but it also need to yield professional grade photos and 4k video results. I had the opportunity to use the Sony ZV1 II for the past 4 weeks and, and I must say, this camera has exceed my expectations. There are a few things which still cause me a lot of frustration but as a Vlog camera which is pocket size and entry level price point it is already very promising.The Lens is now wide enough to be used as a hand held arms length selfie camera, even with super stabilization on and it crop into the footage there is still enough space to cover the background and nice size of my face on screen. The 3 built in mic now is smart and will auto switch depends on what is on the screen view, it works really well when I was out with my family where I was talking behind the camera and my subject in front etc. The audio came out perfect and I did not sound like behind a brick wall like the ZV1 last gen.The 1/4 tripod mount is now on the side and away from the battery door, we can access the SD card and battery with out having to take the camera off the tripod. Touch screen is responsive and the fully flip out screen works well for selfie or doing video at low angles.However, since it use the same battery as the last generation EV1 the operation time per battery is poor. A fully charged battery yield only 40 minutes of record time for me. There is also the issue of overheating while in 4k30 recording mode, flipping out the screen during recording does help but it cuts out at around 40mins which really limits what I can do filming pod cast or longer videos. Switching off stabilization and using 4k24 or reduce res to 1080p will stop the overheating. These happens at 24c temperature of UK and not hot climate.Photos are sharp and focus at video and photo are super fast! Product showcase is what I get the ZV1 for and this camera does it better than anyone else.I will need to find a solution for the low battery life or else this will not be my main camera, it can accept charging via the USBc port so there is hope for me. I will update this review in due course.I hope my review and video is helpful for you.Thank you

      Configuration: new Sony ZV1M2 CameraAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
      The media could not be loaded.
      I ordered this camera to record family outings as well as giving them vlogging commentary. The camera is perfect for this, it has a fold out screen on the rear that can fold out 180 degrees so you can see yourself whilst recording.
      Watching back my recordings I was immediately struck by how high the frame rate is. As the camera pans slightly every single pixel remains crystal clear. This is excellent for vlogging as you are walking and also especially useful for fast paced action scenes such as sporting events. The auto focus works really well too, the subject remains in clear focus whilst the background is blurred so make the subject stand out.
      The sound quality also is exceptional, I cannot fault this camera at all. An excellent buy for anyone wanting to start an online video channel.

      The 1/4 tripod mount is now on the side and away from the battery door, we can access the SD card and battery with out having to take the camera off the tripod. Touch screen is responsive and the fully flip out screen works well for selfie or doing video at low angles.

      However, since it use the same battery as the last generation EV1 the operation time per battery is poor. A fully charged battery yield only 40 minutes of record time for me. There is also the issue of overheating while in 4k30 recording mode, flipping out the screen during recording does help but it cuts out at around 40mins which really limits what I can do filming pod cast or longer videos. Switching off stabilization and using 4k24 or reduce res to 1080p will stop the overheating. These happens at 24c temperature of UK and not hot climate.

      Photos are sharp and focus at video and photo are super fast! Product showcase is what I get the ZV1 for and this camera does it better than anyone else.

      I will need to find a solution for the low battery life or else this will not be my main camera, it can accept charging via the USBc port so there is hope for me. I will update this review in due course.

      I hope my review and video is helpful for you.

      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 July 2023
      As an Youtuber and content creator, I need a easy to use compact camera but it also need to yield professional grade photos and 4k video results. I had the opportunity to use the Sony ZV1 II for the past 4 weeks and, and I must say, this camera has exceed my expectations. There are a few things which still cause me a lot of frustration but as a Vlog camera which is pocket size and entry level price point it is already very promising.

      Configuration: new Sony ZV1M2 CameraAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
      I love the Sony Vlog Camera ZV-1 II. It has won me over with its wider lens, impressive sensor and video capabilities. It’s got smart features via its Bluetooth and wireless connectivity via Sony’s fantastic creators mobile app and the classic high end build quality Sony cameras have a reputation for. It’s not perfect however and certainly not a justified upgrade from the equally impressive original ZV1 camera in my opinion.

      The biggest drawback is the lacklustre battery life. The ZV-1 II offers a lot of camera and features - and the tiny battery struggles to keep up and is quick to drain. I count myself very lucky if I get near a couple of hours video recording out of a full battery and that’ll only happen if you use it in the most optimum way possible.

      The build quality is exceptional and the quality of both the photos and videos are top notch, worthy of posting. The LCD touchscreen does feel a little old technology compared to the sensors and software around it admittedly but the benefit is that if you’ve used a digital camera before, you’ll be able to use it instantly.

      The lens design is super impressive. It features a wide 18mm field of view that really opens up the creative possibilities but having no optical image stabilisation unfortunately means when you engage active stabilisation you’re stuck to a cropped 23mm full frame equivalent, which is a bit of a shame.

      Video footage makes the 20 megapixel CMOS sensor sing but 4K recordings are limited to 30 frames per second, which is absolutely fine for product showcases but will be restrictive where your in scenarios that every frame counts.

      The app is good but not as social friendly as it could be for VLogging centred camera. If you’re looking for a digital camera that can genuinely help with your vlogging workflow, the ZV-1 II is certainly a fantastic choice.

      The Sony Vlog Camera ZV-1 Mark II is a fantastic digital camera that can get the best out of your vlogging setup. Despite a few flaws, I am really impressed and can really recommend it.

      I already loved the mk1 so jumped at the chance to test the mk2 and it's even better, the first thing is they have moved the tripod mount so I can change the battery and sd card even with this mounted on a tripod, the mk1 I had to remove it from the tripod, this mk2 has the same great image sensor but the biggest difference is this gives 18mm at the wide end which is amazing for vlogging, I would say this is now truly the best vlogging camera out there, the 18mm gives you a wide enough view for two people and plenty of background to show your environment, autofocus on this is also much improved and now has an s&q mode too.

      Another bonus is all the accessories for my mk1 fit this mk2 so I'm very happy, top marks from me, Sony have really listened to mk1 owners and made the most important upgrades to this mk2, buy with confidence.

      Reviewed in Italy on 15 July 2023
      Configuration: new Sony ZV1M2 CameraAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
      La fotocamera ZV-1 II di Sony è arrivata all’interno della classica scatola in cartone di Amazon, ben imballata e priva di danni dovuti al trasporto. La fotocamera arriva all’interno della sua confezione originale nella quale troviamo anche il microfono esterno e il manuale di istruzioni in diverse lingue, tra cui l’italiano.
      In realtà, non posso definirmi un esperto di fotografia ma è un mondo che mi ha sempre affascinato. Per questo, non appena ho avuto l’opportunità di provare questa fotocamera Sony ho pensato che sarebbe stata una buona idea approfondire questa passione. Questo modello, in particolare, è pensato per chi è solito realizzare vlog o video su Youtube ma nulla vieta di utilizzarla per gli scatti e brevi video, soprattutto durante feste ed occasioni speciali con amici e parenti.
      La fotocamera presenta dimensioni di 105,5 x 60 x 46,7 mm e un peso di circa 292 grammi. Esteticamente si presenta molto bene e sta comodamente in mano grazie alla sua struttura ergonomica. Il display è touch screen, presenta dimensioni di 3 pollici ed è ribaltabile. Quest’ultima caratteristica risulta piuttosto utile soprattutto per scattare selfie e registrare video, in modo tale da avere sempre il controllo su quello che si sta inquadrando. Sul display sono presenti delle icone che permettono di switchare tra le funzioni della fotocamera in modo semplice e rapido, permettendo di accedere ai vari menù con un singolo tocco. La batteria da 1240mAh è removibile e permette di registrare video per 75 minuti e scattare circa 260 foto. Tuttavia, nel caso in cui vogliate registrare video in 4k, non solo l’autonomia si abbassa a circa 35 minuti, ma dovrete prendervi una pausa tra un video e l’altro poiché la fotocamera tende a scaldarsi troppo, spegnendosi come meccanismo di protezione.
      La risoluzione della fotocamera è di 20MP mentre l’ottica è di tipo grandangolare da 18 mm a f1/8 fino a 50mm ad f/4. Personalmente, la qualità degli scatti mi ha soddisfatto soprattutto in modalità automatica. Infatti, non essendo un esperto, utilizzo prevalentemente questa modalità insieme alla modalità sfumatura che permette di creare un bell’effetto bokeh e l’effetto pelle morbida che rende i volti molto più belli. Per quanto riguarda i video, devo ammettere di averla utilizzata poco visto che preferisco scattare foto. Nonostante ciò, non vedo l’ora di poterla portare con me nel mio prossimo viaggio per realizzare un diario di bordo con le esperienze e i luoghi visitati.
      In conclusione, la reputo un’ottima fotocamera sia per le foto che per i video. Il prezzo, di circa 999 euro al momento della recensione, risulta in linea alla qualità offerta anche se, secondo me, poteva essere fatto qualcosa in più per quanto riguarda la dotazione.

      Die Menü Steuerung erfolgt über den Bildschirm. den man drehen kann und umklappen. Die Kamera hat keinen Sucher.
      Das ist für mich aber ein Teil des Problems man braucht den Bildschirm um zu Fotografieren und kann die Einstellungen dann sehr leicht unbeabsichtigt verstellen. Der Auslöser und der Video Auslöser liegen dicht bei einander wenn ich den Apparat halte wie meine Spiegelreflex Kamera filme ich unbeabsichtigt. Wenn es sehr hell ist sieht man auf dem Bildschirm nicht was man eingestellt hat oder wie bei mir, was man verstellt hat. Schade, ich habe die Kamera aus den genannten Gründen zurück geschickt was Problemlos möglich war!

      Reviewed in Spain on 9 July 2023
      Configuration: new Sony ZV1M2 CameraAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
      Durante unas semanas llevo usando y probando la nueva cámara de Sony ZV-1 II nueva versión de la anterior ZV-1, la cual incorpora mejoras notables siempre enfocadas al mundo vlogging y a los primeros planos desde distancias cortas. En realidad esta nueva versión de la ZV-1 viene para corregir errores que la comunidad vlogging siempre le había echado en cara a su anterior versión, con lo que han corregido ciertos errores aunque sigue manteniendo algunos puntos negativos que ya arrastraba la anterior versión.

      📦 PACKAGING
      Si hablamos un poco de lo que vamos a recibir al comprar el producto, decir que mi versión es la cámara sin complementos, por lo que al recibir el producto nos vendrá con una caja bastante pequeña y compacta, con lo mínimo y más minimalista que haya visto en un producto de este precio y sí, para mi esto es una queja, pues no entiendo que por ejemplo no se nos incluya un cargador, ya que la caja es tan pequeña que viene con lo esencia, unos cuantos panfletos y manuales, la cámara, el felpudo para el micro (filtro quita P’s), la batería y un cable USB tipo C. Entiendo que este minimalismo es por tratar de reducir desperdicios y huella de carbón, pues es cierto que en este caso han optado por usar siempre que ha sido posible materiales reciclados como el plástico del cuerpo, la pelusa del micro, etc, pero realmente con una cámara de casi 1k, el packaging es ciertamente decepcionante.

      📸 CÁMARA Y SENSOR
      Creo que esto es lo más interesante de la review ya que hablamos de la propia cámara, al final tenemos una cámara super compacta, ideal para el vlogging, grabarnos a nosotros mismo desde una distancia corta, lo cual bien sea sujetando la cámara con la mano o con un ‘palo selfie’ siempre vamos a agradecer cierta ligereza para el manejo. La cámara es bastante simple, tenemos los botones justos, nada de complicarse, al final tenemos un botón grande para grabar, el típico botón con zoom para sacar fotos, la rueda clásica con botón central, el botón de la galería y un botón para asignar funciones custom, en la sencillez está el core de esta cámara y es que no quieren que la gente que vaya a hacer vlogging se complique mucho. Hemos de hablar también del sensor, pues en este caso tenemos un sensor de una pulgada, con una resolución de 20 Mpx, lo cual se me antoja algo corto y es que no estamos llegando ni a un APS-C, formato tan de moda. El sensor de 1 pulgada lo vamos a entender dado que la cámara tiene un tamaño reducido, al fin y al cabo un sensor pensado para video no debe ser excesivo, de ahí los 20 Mpx en foto, pero sí es cierto que cuanto mayor el sensor mejor luz capta el pixel por lo que mejor se va a comportar sobre todo en condiciones de baja luminosidad y es que este sensor se comporta bien hasta ISO de unos 1000 o 1200, a partir de ahí ya vamos a ver algo de ruido. Gracias al sensor de 20 Mpx y 1 pulgada, podemos grabar en 4k con fram rates comedidos sin subir en exceso de los 100Mb por segundo, algo de agradecer para no quedarnos sin tarjeta a los 2 min de video.

      🔎 LENTE
      Es en estes apartado donde viene la mayor mejora con respecto a su antecesora y es que en este caso han hecho caso al público y han adaptado una lente con mayor angular, en este caso de 18-50 mm con una luminosidad de 1.8 f, lo cual mejora considerablemente el apartado vlogging, permitiendo mucho más campo con un plano corto, cosa que antes era difícil pues para incluir varias personas en el plano cogiendo la cámara con la mano era casi imposible. La lente la firma Zeiss y es muy buena, aunque si da un poco la sensación de ojo de pez en algunos planos.
      Hablando también de planos cortos con varias personas, decir que en esta versión el autofoco es más inteligente, pudiendo quedarse con caras familiares por ejemplo y priorizando el enfoque sobre ellas, además de que en esta versión el propio autofoco también reconoce animales así que los enfocará de igual manera que si grabamos personas, creo que es una mejora considerable y un punto fuerte al fin y al cabo el autofoco es fundamental en este tipo de cámaras y que hayan trabajado sobre él indica que le están dando cierto cariño al producto.

      📺 PANTALLA
      La pantalla es uno de sus puntos fuertes, tenemos una pantalla abatible que podemos girar de muchas formas, así es perfecta para poder grabarnos a nosotros mismo mientras observamos la pantalla, además de que la propia cámara detecta la posición y gira la imágen ella misma para que siempre nos veamos del derecho.
      Otra de las novedades que trae esta versión es una pantalla táctil completamente funcional y es que en otras versiones sólo era funcional para apuntar a una zona y enfocar, pero en este caso podemos navegar por el menú y hacer ciertas tareas que previamente eran imposibles. El brillo de la pantalla también creo que ha mejorado, en exteriores y a plena luz se ve bien, no vamos a tener que ingeniárselas para poder ver la pantalla de algún modo cuando estamos al sol.

      🎞 FOTOGRAFÍA
      En este apartado, sólo decir que la cámara no destaca frente a las cámaras dedicadas a fotografía, sí es cierto que se defiende, hace fotos aceptables, pero no podemos decir que sea una cámara para fotografía, aunque si necesitamos hacer fotos, pues claramente las hará y las hará mejor sobre todo de día, de noche sí flaquea bastante.

      🎥 VLOGGING
      Como bien hemos dicho, este apartado es la razón de ser de esta cámara, hemos mejorado en ángulo de apertura e incorporamos 3 micros para poder captar de forma direccional o omnidireccional el sonido, de tal forma vamos a poder captar tanto el sonido de enfrente de la cámara como el de detrás, lo cual nos abre a nuevas posibilidades. En cuanto a la lente, se ha escuchado la opinión del público, se ha mejorado de forma considerable tanto en la lente como en el autoenfoque, dejando un producto muy pulido en ese aspecto, además una de las mejoras incluidas ha sido desplazar la rosca para trípode hacia un lateral, permitiendo de ese modo manejar la tapa de la batería y memoria. El video en buenas condiciones es excelente, con una estabilización electrónica de SONY, estabiliza perfecto eso sí a costa de recortar algo de imágen, pero podemos grabar mientras andamos con la cámara en la mano que vamos a tener un material de primera.

      🔋BATERÍA
      Uno de los talones de Aquiles de la primera versión era su batería y en este caso no han mejorado mucho, la batería sigue siendo escasa ofreciendo unos 40 min de autonomía. En realidad si tenemos en cuenta el tamaño de la batería no está nada mal, pero sinceramente deberían de dar una solución a la poca duración de forma oficial, bien con baterías más grandes, bien con extensiones de batería como accesorios.

      ⚙️SISTEMA
      El sistema de SONY es bastante parecido en todas sus gamas, funciona muy bien, no voy a descubrir nada nuevo, pero está muy pulido y cada vez van incorporando nuevas aplicaciones a parte de la propia cámara que nos permiten configurar funciones y opciones a través del móvil

      LO MEJOR

      ✅ Tamaño compacto
      ✅ Buen funcionamiento y entorno SONY
      ✅ Video estabilizado de gran calidad
      ✅ Mejoras en la lente

      LO PEOR

      ❌ El packaging
      ❌ Batería
      ❌ Sensor pequeño
      ❌ Sin posibilidad de cambiar objetivos

      CONCLUSIÓN
      Hemos de ser conscientes que para ser un producto muy enfocado al vlogging, la cámara cumple con creces su objetivo, ha mejorado en ciertos aspectos un producto que ya de por sí era bueno, al fin y al cabo tenemos una cámara compacta, con muy buen peso, sencilla de manejar, con multitud de opciones y que graba unos muy buenos videos de eso no cabe duda aunque sí es cierto que es una cámara que en ciertos puntos flaquea además de que viene con unas características algo por debajo de lo que debería y me refiero principalmente al sensor de 1 pulgada, se me antoja escaso y se nota sobre todo en condiciones de baja luminosidad, cosa que si al final vamos a hacer vlogging, tarde o temprano terminaremos grabando en condiciones de baja luz. Como toque final, sí es cierto que SONY ha dejado la anterior versión por un precio algo más reducido, así que no tenemos excusa, podemos elegir y eso siempre es bueno, para mi si el dinero no pesa tanto como la calidad de la imágen que queremos, sin duda iría a por esta segunda versión, que a pesar de que le hayamos sacado fallos, como no, es una estupenda cámara para grabar el día a día.

Gracias al sensor de 20 Mpx y 1 pulgada, podemos grabar en 4k con fram rates comedidos sin subir en exceso de los 100Mb por segundo, algo de agradecer para no quedarnos sin tarjeta a los 2 min de video.

      🔎 LENTE
      Es en estes apartado donde viene la mayor mejora con respecto a su antecesora y es que en este caso han hecho caso al público y han adaptado una lente con mayor angular, en este caso de 18-50 mm con una luminosidad de 1.8 f, lo cual mejora considerablemente el apartado vlogging, permitiendo mucho más campo con un plano corto, cosa que antes era difícil pues para incluir varias personas en el plano cogiendo la cámara con la mano era casi imposible. La lente la firma Zeiss y es muy buena, aunque si da un poco la sensación de ojo de pez en algunos planos.
      Hablando también de planos cortos con varias personas, decir que en esta versión el autofoco es más inteligente, pudiendo quedarse con caras familiares por ejemplo y priorizando el enfoque sobre ellas, además de que en esta versión el propio autofoco también reconoce animales así que los enfocará de igual manera que si grabamos personas, creo que es una mejora considerable y un punto fuerte al fin y al cabo el autofoco es fundamental en este tipo de cámaras y que hayan trabajado sobre él indica que le están dando cierto cariño al producto.

      📺 PANTALLA
      La pantalla es uno de sus puntos fuertes, tenemos una pantalla abatible que podemos girar de muchas formas, así es perfecta para poder grabarnos a nosotros mismo mientras observamos la pantalla, además de que la propia cámara detecta la posición y gira la imágen ella misma para que siempre nos veamos del derecho.
      Otra de las novedades que trae esta versión es una pantalla táctil completamente funcional y es que en otras versiones sólo era funcional para apuntar a una zona y enfocar, pero en este caso podemos navegar por el menú y hacer ciertas tareas que previamente eran imposibles. El brillo de la pantalla también creo que ha mejorado, en exteriores y a plena luz se ve bien, no vamos a tener que ingeniárselas para poder ver la pantalla de algún modo cuando estamos al sol.

      🎞 FOTOGRAFÍA
      En este apartado, sólo decir que la cámara no destaca frente a las cámaras dedicadas a fotografía, sí es cierto que se defiende, hace fotos aceptables, pero no podemos decir que sea una cámara para fotografía, aunque si necesitamos hacer fotos, pues claramente las hará y las hará mejor sobre todo de día, de noche sí flaquea bastante.

      🎥 VLOGGING
      Como bien hemos dicho, este apartado es la razón de ser de esta cámara, hemos mejorado en ángulo de apertura e incorporamos 3 micros para poder captar de forma direccional o omnidireccional el sonido, de tal forma vamos a poder captar tanto el sonido de enfrente de la cámara como el de detrás, lo cual nos abre a nuevas posibilidades. En cuanto a la lente, se ha escuchado la opinión del público, se ha mejorado de forma considerable tanto en la lente como en el autoenfoque, dejando un producto muy pulido en ese aspecto, además una de las mejoras incluidas ha sido desplazar la rosca para trípode hacia un lateral, permitiendo de ese modo manejar la tapa de la batería y memoria. El video en buenas condiciones es excelente, con una estabilización electrónica de SONY, estabiliza perfecto eso sí a costa de recortar algo de imágen, pero podemos grabar mientras andamos con la cámara en la mano que vamos a tener un material de primera.

      🔋BATERÍA
      Uno de los talones de Aquiles de la primera versión era su batería y en este caso no han mejorado mucho, la batería sigue siendo escasa ofreciendo unos 40 min de autonomía. En realidad si tenemos en cuenta el tamaño de la batería no está nada mal, pero sinceramente deberían de dar una solución a la poca duración de forma oficial, bien con baterías más grandes, bien con extensiones de batería como accesorios.

      ⚙️SISTEMA
      El sistema de SONY es bastante parecido en todas sus gamas, funciona muy bien, no voy a descubrir nada nuevo, pero está muy pulido y cada vez van incorporando nuevas aplicaciones a parte de la propia cámara que nos permiten configurar funciones y opciones a través del móvil

      LO MEJOR

      ✅ Tamaño compacto
      ✅ Buen funcionamiento y entorno SONY
      ✅ Video estabilizado de gran calidad
      ✅ Mejoras en la lente

      LO PEOR

      ❌ El packaging
      ❌ Batería
      ❌ Sensor pequeño
      ❌ Sin posibilidad de cambiar objetivos

      CONCLUSIÓN
      Hemos de ser conscientes que para ser un producto muy enfocado al vlogging, la cámara cumple con creces su objetivo, ha mejorado en ciertos aspectos un producto que ya de por sí era bueno, al fin y al cabo tenemos una cámara compacta, con muy buen peso, sencilla de manejar, con multitud de opciones y que graba unos muy buenos videos de eso no cabe duda aunque sí es cierto que es una cámara que en ciertos puntos flaquea además de que viene con unas características algo por debajo de lo que debería y me refiero principalmente al sensor de 1 pulgada, se me antoja escaso y se nota sobre todo en condiciones de baja luminosidad, cosa que si al final vamos a hacer vlogging, tarde o temprano terminaremos grabando en condiciones de baja luz. Como toque final, sí es cierto que SONY ha dejado la anterior versión por un precio algo más reducido, así que no tenemos excusa, podemos elegir y eso siempre es bueno, para mi si el dinero no pesa tanto como la calidad de la imágen que queremos, sin duda iría a por esta segunda versión, que a pesar de que le hayamos sacado fallos, como no, es una estupenda cámara para grabar el día a día.
