Remarkable Value - Just Be Aware of Overheating
Incredible camera - essentially the FX3 on a budget. Quality is incredible, 120fps in 4K and 240fps in 1080p is great. The only issue I've found is that the UI has a bit of a learning curve, and there are some overheating issues when recording for 30+ minutes in 4K. Not a huge deal for us as those sessions are few are far between, but might be worth addressing if you're shooting podcasts and such.

Fantastic camera for photos and videos
The ZV-E1 is brilliant! Love it especially for video and also for photography, 12 megapixel are plenty unless you need to print large size!

Best camera so far
Out of the box great video image, ISO 800 and I'm away, very very good in low light, bought the 35mm and 20mm and 15-35mm on order, I only shoot video. up to 30 secs, nature, landscape and seascape, I filmed some Yew trees and they were beautiful, I've only just started and it seems easy to set up, lots to do just love it.

This is a MUST camera for Content Creators
Where do I start, amazing auto-focus, amazing dynamic range, amazing menu and button layout, amazing colour range, amazing sharpness, amazing portability, amazing connectivity, amazing support and the list goes on and on and on. This is coming from someone who is a videographer, content creator and a tv director for over 14 years

Great Camera so love it got another one
I use to have a7c a6700 and a7 III cameras then bought this one zv-e1 and feel in love. Great small camera for creativity a lot of features in small compact size! Switch between photo / video / s&q I though would not be a good solution but its ok. Most buttons customisable. Only missing aperture dial but paired with lens with aperture then problem resolved.

Amazing but some frustrating faults
- The USB-C port is very fragile, it broke on mine and had to be repaired - The MicroHDMI port is very fragile, it loses connection when touched and also feels like it will break soon - The LCD feels like it is from 10 years ago in both resolution and brightness - Why can I not select 24 fps in PAL mode? - why is 30 or 25 fps not available on H265? - Sometimes overheats Other than that, it's unbeatable value for the video quality you can get from it :)

Fantastic little camera packed with latest tech
I bought this camera to fill a gap. I needed a full-frame second body to my FX6 and a camera to do high-quality vlogs with. This camera fitted the brief perfectly. Everything, except one issue, is better than expected. It allows me to shoot high-quality 4K with advanced codecs, or shoot with log or or S-Cinetone mode. One issue: Overheating! If you plan to roll the camera for long takes (over 30 to 40 mins) then you'll need a fan or rather one of Sony's other models. For normal use, it's a wonder of technology! It would have been nice to have a second card slot though and those strap handles are a bit clunky...
