Sony's ultra-compact vlogging camera with 1-inch sensor, fixed 20mm equiv f/2 lens, and flip screen.
The Sony ZV-1F launched in 2022 as a stripped-down version of the ZV-1, replacing the zoom lens with a fixed 20mm equivalent f/2 wide-angle lens. It targets beginner content creators and vloggers who want a simple, affordable, point-and-shoot vlogging tool.
Uses a 1-inch 20.1MP Exmor RS CMOS sensor. The fixed f/2 lens provides a wide field of view ideal for arm's-length vlogging without a selfie stick. Background defocus mode blurs backgrounds for a portrait effect. Face priority AE and product showcase mode included.
Fully articulating 3-inch touchscreen for selfie monitoring. No viewfinder. 4K 30p and 1080p 60p video. Built-in 3-capsule directional microphone with wind screen included. 229g — extremely light. USB-C charging. WiFi and Bluetooth.
Available used at budget prices. The fixed f/2 lens means no zoom capability — only digital crop. The ZV-1 II with zoom is more versatile. Canon PowerShot V10 is the main rival. Best for social media creators who want consistent wide-angle framing without settings complexity.
