Sony ZV-1


The Sony ZV-1 is a 20MP compact camera geared towards vlogging. It has a new and novel directional microphone next to the flash hotshoe and there's a fully articulating touchscreen display. The ZV-1 shoots in 4K up to 30p and Full HD up to 120p and features a 24-70mm equivalent F1.8-2.8 lens.

Although the Sony ZV-1 is designed specifically with vloggers in mind, it’s quite capable as a conventional compact stills camera too. If you're a hybrid shooter who is interested in capturing both video and stills, but doesn’t want to carry around two cameras, the ZV-1 has a lot to offer.

The Canon PowerShot G7X Mark III offers additional zoom with a built-in lens and has the same size sensor as the Sony.  It has the same dimensions and the same size screen, but it uses contrast detection autofocus which is prone to distracting hunting.  On the other hand, its touch interface is responsive and refined, and it offers live streaming to YouTube directly from the camera (and uses your phone as a hot spot).
  Panasonic's G100 has a novel microphone set-up, using three small microphones and software for 'audio tracking' of talking subjects.  In our tests, though, we found the Sony to sound slightly better.  Panasonic's contrast-detect autofocus may be too 'wobbly' for your taste, and it has enough cropping in 4K to make vlogging at arm's length impossible.
  The Apple iPhone 11 will give you the widest field of view and the biggest screen – not to mention it's the lightest you can have.  Its small sensor will limit how much you can blur your background, though.

Good for
Vlogging and video capture, travel photo and video, family photography.
Not so good for
Users that need a longer zoom range and users that have no need for video or the video-focused features of this camera.
Summary
The ZV-1 is a solid option for vloggers and photographers looking for a compact camera with a fast lens and great video and still image quality. Its novel microphone and video-friendly ergonomics are big plusses, but we want to see Sony introduce a more modern touch interface and update their menus to appeal to a wider audience. Overall, whether you're a dedicated video maker or just want an easy-to-use camera for good quality clips, the ZV-1 is worth a look.
