Sony’s most powerful interchangeable-lens vlog camera has arrived in the form of the Sony ZV-E1, which builds on the award winning APS-C format ZV-E10. The ZV-E1 boasts the lightest and most compact full-frame body with IBIS in the world and combines cutting-edge technology, which is derived from flagship Sony E mount mirrorless cameras and pro video cameras.

The highly portable camera has been designed to help creators achieve truly stunning cinematic content for their audience, with the ability to use dozens of exceptional Sony mirrorless lenses. AI driven subject detection, stabilisation and tracking join a host of new and upgraded features, which ensure your vlogs are sharp, dynamic and result in expressive cinematic video.

You can record 4K/60p movies in 10-bit 4:2:2 (with 4K/120p coming soon), while harnessing 15+ stops of dynamic range from S-Cinetone and S-Log 3 profiles. New one-tap Cinematic vlog settings provide instant mood changes to your movies, while a new-generation digital audio interface has been added, and the 3-Capsule mic upgraded to capture more dynamic audio from multiple directions.

The Sony ZV-E1 also brings USB streaming capabilities and a range of connectivity options, in order to share your content seamlessly to the world’s most popular social channels.
