If you’ve got been on the hunt for a compact digicam for stills and video, this deal is value a glance.
Popular amongst road photographers and vloggers alike is the Sony ZV-1, now available for just £519 at Jessops. This is £100 off its common £619 price ticket.
The ZV-1 fits in a jacket pocket, measures just 105.5 x 60.0 x 43.5mm, and is low-key enough to go unnoticed – letting you capture city life as it naturally unfolds. And let’s be honest, sometimes fewer MP and a more compact size get you a better shot, simply because you can take it.
And if you’ve ever thought about trying vlogging, the ZV-1 is a great entry-level vlogging camera. Sure, some call it a tweaked version of the RX100 series, but the upgrades here are tailored specifically to creators: better audio, user-friendly controls, and a screen that makes framing yourself super easy.
Yes, there are a few quirks – like the focus distance jumping when zooming in and the Active SteadyShot stabilization not quite living up to expectations. But on the plus side, autofocus is incredibly fast, and overall, the camera feels intuitive and fun to use. So, if you can look over the zoom jumping and use a tripod or gimbal for video, the Z-V1 is great.
At £519, the ZV-1 offers excellent value for street photography and an easy entry into video content creation. And in genres like street photography, this little camera could become your (or even my) secret weapon.
