Press text:

The Sony ZV-1 is a 20.1MP digital camera specifically designed for vloggers and content creators. It features a 1.0-type stacked CMOS sensor and super-fast AF for high quality images and 4K video. The 24-70mm zoom lens is perfect for both portraits and wide-angle shooting. The Image stabilisation helps to keep your photos and videos blur free. It has an ergonomic, comfortable grip plus a 3-inch vari-angle LCD screen with recording lamp, which makes selfie-shooting very easy.

The ZV-1 is designed around the needs of vloggers and content creators, and focusses on intuitive controls for vlog & video creation. The vari-angle screen ensures selfie-shooting is easy enabling you to check your framing while shooting. The grip provides a comfortable and secure way of holding the camera.

A directional 3-capsule Microphone utilises technology from Sony’s advanced video camera systems to deliver high quality sound capturing performance and noise reduction in full-stereo. In addition, a wind screen that greatly reduces wind noise in outdoor conditions is supplied. A 3.5mm input jack is also onboard in case additional mics need to be added.

Get leading-edge movie AF for vlogging. Developed for the interchangeable-lens camera Alpha series, Real-time Eye AF locks on and tracks subjects with high accuracy and speed. It uses AI-based subject recognition technology to detect eye information in real-time, allowing people’s eyes to be recognised and tracked, even when shooting 4K movies.

Soft Skin Effect enables you to reduce skin wrinkles and marks while ensuring you preserve skin-tones and the sharpness of eyes and mouths. Skin tones are optimised for both movies and stills to deliver ideal subject emphasis when using your vlogging camera for YouTube, Instagram, and other platforms. Finally, an original face priority AE algorithm – detects the face and adjusts the exposure to ensure it is depicted at optimal brightness, even during selfie-shooting scenes with large light-dark changes.

By simply pressing the Bokeh Switch (C1), even without a deep knowledge of cameras and video, you can obtain the blurred background effect. Another simple operation – Product Showcase Setting – enables the focus to shift rapidly from your face to a product or object being held up to the lens without having to hide your face. Easy to use this can be abled by the press of a single button (C2). Perfect for product review videos.

The very same three sources who shared ot us the Zv1 specs and images (leaked yesterday here) also told us that in July (Note: updated timeline info) Sony will announce this:

• 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens
• Sony A7II successor. Note: A new Full Frame E-mount camera that was already registered in Asia (article here).

At the moment I have received no A7sII successor specs. But let’s hope it has the fully articulating screen on the side like the ZV1 has.

But wait…there is more!

There is also a rumor about a “third surprise” product. But it’s not clear yet if this product will be announced together with the A7sII or on a second event in June/July. What I can tell you yet about this “surprise” product is that it’s not an A7IV.

I am working to be able to give you soon the info about this “surprise” product!

I know folks, sometimes Sony disappointed us, sometimes my rumors disappointed you. But this time I am 99% sure the rumors I got are good ;)

Sony will first announce the new ZV1 compact camera on May 26 and in June there will be at least three new FF products announced by Sony! So please be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter  and subscribe our mailing list here (Check spam folder if you don’t get confirmation mail):

Today I will post more Sony ZV1 info, but there is a lot more to come the days after about the new Full Frame E-mount gear that Sony will launch in June!

I told you that after the ZV1 announcement on May 26 Sony will have a major announcement in June. We should get at least a new FF E-mount camera but from what I heard so far this will NOT be the A7IV. So chances are good to get the A7sII successor or/and something else. One thing for sure: We will get new FE lenses too!

But I expect to get many more details soon. Stay tuned as usual!
