What is the best camera for YouTube / Travel ??? Sony ZV-1 & RX100 VII REVIEW vs DSLR/Mirrorless

How good is ZV-1 for cinematic videos?

Great video . I just won an RX100 vii by auction on eBay for £725 mint condition. I appreciate watching this as it affirms my decision to do this rather than buy a new ZV-1. The only thing I will miss there is the built in ND

Amazing Work 👍

Nice work. I have been comparing my rx100vii with my new zv1. See my recent reviews. I like the footage more on the RX but I have a hard time putting down the ZV1. I love the new screen and grip and the speed of opening Ugh I don’t want to lose it and looking ways to justify keeping both. Ha. If you get a zv1 I would like to see your comparison.

I’d say without a doubt that this is the best comparison between the 2 cameras I ever watched. It made me decide on my new purchase and I thank you for that, sir. Keep them coming and keep shooting,.

Pretty severe cropping with active stabilization on zv-1 so still need a gimbal or accept narrow fov. For vlogging neither of them can compete with a good $500 camcorder.

Nice clearly explained comparison. I just bought an RX100VII as I like my RX100V a lot but felt I needed the extra zoom sometimes when travelling.

Great review!

so if i look something for start vlogging and make some photos too the rx100vii its better, whit one smallring cage and one extra mic and maybe some light it will be better than the zv1?

Very good channel. One question ... Which of these cameras has the best stabilizer ??? The zv-1 or the RX 100 VII ????

That was a really solid review. Thank you! Sometimes reviews where one (or more!) of the items haven't been used seem insincere, but you definitely made it work. I like your focusing on what it's like to actually use, and not just talking specs.

Are they waterproof? I want film mtb riding and vlogging how long will batteries last recording 4k?. And can u connect a small mic to both?

Which camera is good for taking sharp images. My priority for taking still photos. Zv1 or RX 100vii

Comparing the Sony ZV-1, RX100 VII and dlsr and only put pictures on of the RX100, right at the end of a 17 minute long video.
How can we ever compare these camera's?

I watched this video for the fifth time.. trying to help myself deciding to buy either ZV1 or RX100 VII. I even went to Sony shop and test those products. I’m a phone videographer. The limited range and the quality of the video in Iphone have pushed me to source a camera. Still in quandary whether to buy zv1 (simple function) or rx.. (long lens for more creative content)..

with usb c, sony could use a usb c to headphone adapter without needing much space- some fuji cameras have this feature.

Good video, one of the best compare I've seen.

I am in the market of buying pocket-able camera, been reading watching comparison between RX100 VII and ZV-1, still cant decide it. I have Sony Alpha camera, this one is not handy for travelling, bulky, and need a separate bulky case. I want camera that is ready to point and shoot fast from my pocket. Why so difficult to decide it???

I just hit Unlike button so next time when you compare 2 cameras just add 2 fucking pictures together so we can see exacting the diferece.. not just bla bla blaaaaaaaaaaa

I can only agree with you. Bought the RX100VII also as my little b-cam to take it anywhere, but this thing delivers way more than I expected.

I have gone through the same process myself in my mind. I was carrying my G9, Gimbal and £1000 of lenses when my ZV1 actually means I get more footage as I take it out with me every day on vacation.

I own a Rx100 m6, im not liking the stabilizer for videos nor the 2.8 lens i find its too dark. I mainly use my camera for family videos and pics. Would you say its worth ( for the things I dnt like on my camera)getting a ZV-1 ?

Good comparison. It is frustrating that no camera is ever “perfect” and there are many features of each camera I wish the other had! The RX100 VII is 3 yrs old and the ZV1 is going on 2 years… so perhaps Sony is listening to the feedback & will add those features people seem to want. I am not in the market for a travel compact camera right now. But will be when covid travel restrictions are lifted. I am torn btwn these two. I was also looking at the Canon GX7III… but crossed it off my list for the universal opinion that the auto focus has serious problems. Perhaps Canon will fix that in the next update as well. It also is a few years old already. But with covid still impacting the chip makers, it could be awhile longer for all these updates.

Which of these two is better for arena concerts? One that works in low light and has great zoom?

great comparison!

Hey! Apologies this video is a little late to the Sony ZV-1 conversation - I actually filmed it several weeks ago, but then got pulled away on freelance work. I've noticed a couple things missing whilst editing so let me know if you have any questions...
As mentioned, links to all my Sony RX100 gear is in the description. Thanks a lot x
