Sony ZV-1 Vlogging Camera, Black

Purpose-built for content creators, the Sony ZV-1 features a flip-out screen, a directional 3-capsule microphone and Sony's renowned autofocus — making it one of the best compact cameras for vlogging, product reviews and YouTube content. A large 1.0-inch stacked sensor and bright ZEISS 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens deliver background blur and low-light quality well beyond typical point-and-shoots, while Sony's fast Hybrid AF with real-time Eye AF locks onto faces instantly and holds focus through movement. A dedicated Product Showcase mode instantly shifts focus from your face to an object held up to the lens — ideal for unboxings and reviews — and a built-in ND filter keeps footage smooth in bright daylight without fiddly settings changes. Pocketable, tough and ready to film the moment you switch it on, it's a favourite among creators who need pro-quality video without a full mirrorless rig.
