The Sony ZV-1F is the third in Sony’s lineup of vlogging cameras. The device is equipped with a 20.1MP sensor, 4K video, and a user-friendly setup.

It also has a Type-1 sensor as its predecessor, the ZV-1 but with a wide-angle, 20mm zoom. prime lens. The device’s fully articulated display and its extra view make the ZV-1F to be great for taking self-shots. Its affordability means the ZV-1F is not great for shooting products and other people.

The camera has a directional microphone with a forward bias to isolate your voice. There is also a removable deadcat that removes wind noise while shooting. The ZV-1F has an ISO range of 125-12800 and a front-facing tally light for recording.

The ZV-1F has frame rates of 30fps and 120fps for 4K and 1080p videos respectively. Its slow and quick setting supports 60x hyperlapse capture in HD but it uses contrast-detect-only autofocus.

The Sony ZV-1F vlogging camera is priced at $500 and will go on sale from October 24.
