Great camera. Highly recommend!
I love this camera. The small size has made it my every day carry and the fact that it has a full frame sensor is an added bonus. I haven’t had any issues with it overheating (as others have reported) but then again, i am not filming for very long periods of time.

Speaks for itself!
What can you say, Great camera if you know , you know.

I got sold a broken camera
I bought this camera and I’ve used it only a few times. I had it for about a month. The USB charging port randomly stopped working. I’ve tried everything that is recommended like using different wires/outlets and cleaning it. None of this worked. The wire I always use worked before. The camera is brand new and only used a few times. Support is not helping me resolve this issue. I love the camera and it works very well and I understand that some products will come out defective, but I am not getting the help I need.

This is such an underrated camera!
I originally purchased this for vlogging but I quickly realized that it is much more than that. Sure there are quirks to it that may not be suitable as a A can for professional use, but as a B or C cam it’s more than capable for sure. Would highly recommend for EVERYONE
-
Great camera with good picture
Minus the over heating, this is an awesome camera. I am using cooler to mitigate the over heating and it’s working so far. I cover weddings so I need it on longer.

Awesome camera
I upgraded from the A6700 to this full frame BEAST I do fishing content for YouTube and this camera video quality is awesome I record in 4k 30fps hasn’t over Heated once
-
Great, but will overheat at times
This camera is by far the best I’ve ever used in the Sony line. I leveled up from the Sony zv1, and the difference is night in day. It has 4k 24fbs-60fbs which works amazingly. The only con is the camera is prone to over heating. I guess it’s the price to be at since it’s basically a super camera compact into a small frame. Also, this camera does not come for a lens! Make sure you purchase a lens alongside it.

Perfect for social media
I love this camera. I film short form and youtube videos and its perfect. Not heavy at all and the video quality is amazing. So much more to learn to get the full use of this camera

Sony Alpha ZV-E1 – Full-Frame Vlogging, Reimagined
Pros - Incredible low-light and dynamic range - AI features that actually help creators - Compact and lightweight for a full-frame body - Excellent in-camera audio - Intuitive touchscreen interface Cons - No mechanical shutter (rolling shutter can be an issue) - Micro HDMI port feels fragile - Can overheat at 4K60 in warm conditions
-
Full frame goodness in a lightweight body
I was nervous about getting this camera due to all of the complaints about overheating. Can it overheat? Sure. Is it totally manageable? 100%. I have been shooting with it 2-3 times a week for an hour or more per shoot and i have not even gotten a temperature warning. But even if you do, if you leave the viewfinder open and keep it well ventilated it is not an issue. But the features? They are all there. The autofocus is fast and quiet, the ai features are too smart, and the video quality is pro. 100% recommend.
