Best camera I've ever owned
I’ve been running the ZV-E1 as my primary studio and field rig, and it's hands-down the most capable compact full-frame camera I’ve used. The video I capture makes me look like a much better photographer than I am. Almost everything on this camera is automatic or has an auto feature which is great for people who are just learning. This is hand down one of my favorite purchases ever. Truly my dream camera.

great camera for content creators
this camera is amazing for content creation it has the same sensor and low light capability as the fx3!

Was unsure at first, but really loving this camera.
Was hesitant because of all the overheating talk. But it's definitely a keeper for me. I already own an a7s 3 and FX3 so I'm familiar with the sensor. I'm not using this as a vlog camera, instead I wanted the same quality in a smaller form factor for travel and lighter run and gun setup.The AI is a plus but marginally better than what we already had in terms of autofocus. I've had pretty great results with the older object tracking already. Dynamic active stabilization was pretty clutch a few times when tracking forward/back. Less reliable for horizontal/pan type movements.Overheating, I used it over the weekend in 80 degree weather in a real shoot from 12pm till 4pm, mostly 4k 24p and sprinkled in some 4k 60p and did not encounter any overheating the way I would normally use it.I was able to get it to overheat in 4k 60p in a controlled setting, recording around 30 minutes. I also updated to 4k 120p and that overheated around 15 minutes. Again doesn't bother me for my use case. I also tested in 4k 24p and the battery drained before overheating, so I could use this as a 3rd camera long format recordings like a podcast.The built-in mic is convenient, but not that great, however if you know how to post process audio you can get pretty good results.Only thing I wish it had was an evf, even if it's a lower res version.I also got the white one... which was the only one ready to ship in time for my shoot, didn't want this color either but it's starting to grow on me.

Amazing
This camera is over criticized and underrated. The people who talk bad about it never owned one and only reiterated what online reviewers said without actually using it. This camera has taken me through travels in the deserts of Texas, whole day music video shoots, and several sets. Not once has it overheated. This camera's power is underestimated not only with it's beautiful sensor, but also the features it has like it's mic (the best onboard mic I've had on a camera) the ai auto framing, the variable shutter, and the stabilization. Also, it's form factor is perfect because you can make it as small or big as you want with a cage. This camera has changed my life, not only in film-making, but how I see the world, and how I can use this tool to show it.I heard a lot of reviews online about the camera overheating, but I never had that issue. Honestly, even if it did, the beauty of this camera's sensor beats everything, from the dual native ISO to the amazing SLog 3 profile. I love the small form factor that helps me when traveling, documenting, and even gives more flexibilities on film sets. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who is interested in leveling up their videos and photos.

Overheating makes this camera an absolute joke.
I received this camera today. I don't shoot professionally, and I know cameras at this price bracket are probably overkill for what I use them for. That being said, this camera is an absolute joke.I immediately charged it, put in an SD card, and started taking some video. I took less than 25 minutes of video total. I shot maybe 15 of those minutes on 4k60, literally the only real selling point on this camera in my opinion. I then maybe shot 10 minutes of 4k24 in cinematic mode or whatever.The camera actually froze and lost a video in cinematic mode after recording 1 minute.It overheated in 4k60 in about 7 minutes. I shot hand held in an ambient temperature of 71 degrees. I know some reviewers got videos far longer without overheating, and maybe some of that had to do with using a tripod, but this is an absolute joke.I had originally planned on putting this in a cage, given the fact the camera itself has the ergonomics of a power brick, probably similar thermal regulation as well, and this might solve the issue. I don't really want to risk that though, and this is a ridiculous issue at this price point.Aside from that, on a more subjective level, the colors really are not that good and the interface sucks.I will probably end up getting the S5IIX when it comes out and just deal with the 1.5 crop in 4k60. I really am taken back by how terrible my experience with this camera was.

The ZV-E1 is a low light ISO god, just get a fan
I use the Sony ZV-E1 as a webcam/mirror. I leave it on all day (but turn it off at night), and this is possible without any overheating problems thanks to a 3rd party fan attachment. You must buy one of these fans. Otherwise, the ZV-E1 will overheat constantly.This camera performs excellently in low light. In a dark room with just my computer monitors and a dim key light lighting me, I get satisfying exposure even with 1/60 shutter speed and a F2.8 lens. It needs like 12,800 to 25,600 ISO for it, but for webcam use, the picture still looks great. An F1.8 lens needs like 6400 to 12,800 ISO. An F1.4 lens needs around 2000-8000 ISO. (These might be overestimates too because I think I got these numbers while using 0 EV Compensation, but I discovered that I need to apply -0.7 EV Compensation to get the right brightness in my dark room. This means less ISO is required.)A month ago, I didn't know anything about cameras, and I was super anxious about picking the right one. Well, a month later I feel like I got the right one. It's an absolute beast in low light.
