Little by little, Sony has been creating a product that seemed round a few generations ago, but now, with this new release, it already allows us to see where the manufacturer was headed. And it is that this new ZV-E1 from Sony is the most spectacular interchangeable-lens mirrorless compact we’ve seen yet.
Small, but Full Frame
Don’t let its dimensions confuse you. We are talking about a camera with interchangeable lenses that hides inside a 12.1 megapixel full frame Exmor R sensorcapable of recording in 4K at 120 images per secondand being able to use sensitivities from 80 to 102,400 ISO (ISO 40 to 406900 in extended mode) with 5-axis stabilization. This is something that will sound a lot to you if we take into account the Sony A7c, however, here many new tricks have been added with which to automate everything even more, looking for that point of ease that all Vloggers look for in their day to day.
Smart so you don’t have to do a thing
A series of processes Artificial intelligence They will be in charge of recognizing the objects and people that are in front of the camera, being especially interesting the detection of people, since it will allow you to maintain the focus and with precision regardless of whether you are looking at the camera or not.
In addition, it will allow you to make intelligent cuts so that the scene is always centered (like a camera with tracking) and a “product presentation” mode that will be in charge of focusing on objects that you place near the lens to quickly focus on the face as soon as you download the product.
Automated advanced modes
The idea of the ZV-E1 is to bring an automated experience in which the user does not have to get over his head selecting modes and setting values. The addition of AI is going to help a lot in how you want your photo or video to look, as it’s all about producing and getting results as quickly as possible.
Thought for the VLOG
That the camera has a focal zoom control button is no coincidence. If we use motorized lenses, we can control the zoom at all times with this mobile button, something that you probably won’t be interested in finding in a professional camera but in a camera focused on content creation.
a price to pay
But not everything is as pretty as they paint it. The new ZV-E1 has marked a new step at the price level within the family of compacts for bloggers, and that is his official price is 2,700 euros only for the camera body. To that you will have to add a lens to be able to start recording, so the investment for your YouTube channel will be important.
