QUICKFACT SHEET

Sony’s vlog camera gets better with the new Sony ZV-1 II. While photographers criticized the previous ZV-1 vlog camera with its 24-70mm (equiv.) lens as not being wide enough to include the vlogger and surrounding, non-photographers vloggers around the world couldn’t care less and made the ZV-1 one of the best selling vlog camera ever. The ZV-1 is compact, a no-brainer to use and gives great videos. Now, with the Sony ZV-1 II which has a wider 18-50mm (equiv.) lens that easily includes the vlogger and surrounding, even photographers can stop griping and get on board.
