ZV-E1

ZV-E1 is Sony's newest small camera that packs a punch!

The Sony ZV-E1 is currently on top of this series as it has a bigger 12MP 35mm CMOS full-frame sensor with an interchangeable lens option. But like the rest of the previous ZV cameras, Sony managed to fit it in a small and lightweight body that measures just 121 x 72 x 54 mm and weighs 483 grams.

The ZV-E1 has been designed to deliver a premium content creation tool for video creators who want to elevate their content, says Yang Cheng, Vice President, Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics Inc. We are constantly listening to feedback from our customers, pushing to innovate to meet their demands. We have taken all the information into mind with our development of this new camera – with more sophisticated video features, a streamlined user experience and an extremely compact design, the ZV-E1 offers a whole new way for today's creators to create top level video content

This is also capable of 10-bit 4:2:2 internal video recording, 4k video recording at 60p and 120p, Cinemascope aspect ratio 21:9 ratio, and in-camera timelapse creation.

It has an easy connect and share function to your smartphone too

For stabilization, it uses the new Dynamic Active Mode stabilization which is touted to be 30 percent more effective in reducing shake in footage than the regular Active mode.

This also has a dedicated zoom ring around the shutter, which can easily adjust the depth of field and focus

Other features of the camera include the BIONZ XR M image processing engine for high sensitivity, low noise, and gorgeous bokeh.

It also has a "powerful" Al processing offering Auto Framing, Framing Stabilizer, Multiple Face Recognition, and Auto Microphone directivity. Sony also added Cinematic Vlog Setting, an intuitive way to capture scenes with the look of feature movies, and S-Cinetone for natural skin color reproduction straight from the camera.
