Sony continues to expand its vlogging camera line-up with the release of its new Sony ZV-1F camera, a pocket-sized, cheaper, beginner-friendly alternative to the popular Sony ZV-1 and Sony ZV-E10.
The ZV-1F is for vloggers, first and foremost. It has a fixed ultra-wide angle 20mm equivalent prime lens for selfie shooting and includes essential vlogging settings like Face priority AE and digital image stabilisation for shooting handheld video, at resolutions up to 4K at 30fps. Designed with Gen Z vloggers in mind, the ZV-1F’s body is constructed out of recycled materials and the camera offers skin tone optimisation.
The ZV-1F is available to pre-order now for an estimated price of £550.
