Sony’s new ZV-1 II vlogging camera has a wider lens and faster sensor
can handle fast-action photos without exhibiting jello effects, then the ZV-1 II should be up to the task using the same tech in a smaller sensor.
While stacked sensors are handy for shooting stills without any shutter noise at all, having a fast readout sensor is also beneficial for video — which is more of this camera’s focus. The ZV-1 II, like its predecessor, is able to film in 4K at up to 30fps. It also uses Sony’s real-time phase-detect autofocus tracking to easily focus and track multiple faces and eyes as well as Product Showcase for knowing when to focus on objects held up to the camera.
One of the trickle-down features from the recent ZV-E1 is that Cinematic Vlog setting, which adds black bars to the top and bottom of the frame, sets the frame rate to 24fps, and allows you to dial in some preset “looks” and “moods” to your liking. Much like how the ZV-1 II offers a shortcut to making decent-looking vlogs with minimal effort, Cinematic Vlog is a one-click way to add drama to a video clip — even if you don’t know your way around camera settings.
The ZV-1 II’s maximum aperture of f/1.8 is the same as the lens of the last-gen model, but by opting for a wider angle of 18mm, it’s much easier to get both yourself and your surroundings in frame. The wider lens makes total sense, as most vlogs are filmed quite wide and losing some telephoto reach is probably no big deal, though the new lens is a slower f/4 when zoomed all the way to its 50mm limit. That’s still a fair tradeoff to be made by maintaining the ZV-1 II’s pocket-ish size.
The ZV-1 has been Sony’s bestselling model of its burgeoning ZV line, and the version II seems to offer the right improvements where it counts. Of course, it also costs about $100 more than the price of the original ZV-1 when it first came out and $150 more than its current selling price.
