Sony ZV ZV-1 Black
Combining a 20.1MP 1-inch Exmor RS CMOS sensor and BIONZ X processor, the ZV-1 records 4K video with Fast Hybrid AF that provides real-time eye tracking and seamless focus transitions. Its flip-out touchscreen enables quick bokeh switching and a Product Showcase mode that shifts focus precisely from face to object, while face priority autoexposure keeps subjects evenly lit. This compact is best for vloggers and YouTube creators who prioritize portable, autofocus-driven shooting over in-body stabilization for handheld footage.
