Autofocusīoth cameras have the same hybrid auto-focus system with 315 phase detection and 425 contrast detection AF points.īoth of them also offer Sony's excellent real-time tracking system, including Eye AF for humans/animals for stills and humans for video, plus the Face Priority autoexposure (AE) function, which detects and prioritises the subject’s face and adjusts the exposure to ensure the face is depicted at an ideal brightness.

On the ZV-1 II the zoom can be operated by using the touchscreen in addition to using the physical rocker switch on top of the camera, with selectable zoom steps running from 1x / 1.5x / 2x / 4x plus icons for W (wide-angle) and T (telephoto) to quickly change the angle of view at the press of an onscreen icon. Sony do provide the Clear Image Zoom digital zoom function on the ZV-1 II which increases the focal range from 50-100mm 'without any appreciable loss in image quality'. There are some tradeoffs, though, with the zoom range being noticeably shorter - 50mm versus 70mm - and the maximum aperture being a stop slower at the telephoto end - f/4 versus f/2.8 - both of which will make it harder to throw the background out of focus when shooting at the 50mm focal length than on the previous camera.

We were slightly critical of the 24mm lens in our Sony ZV-1 review, so it's great to see Sony listening to feedback and implementing this crucial change in the 2023 Mark II version. The new ZV-1 II has a much wider 18-50mm f/1.8-4 equivalent zoom lens that's better suited to vlogging, particularly when holding the camera at arm's length for selfie recording and group shots.

The original ZV-1 has a 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 equivalent non-removable zoom lens, as previously seen on the popular RX100 series (the RX100 IV to be specific). This is the single biggest difference between these two cameras.

The ISO range of the Sony ZV-1 and ZV-1 II is the same, ISO 100 to ISO 12,800, which can be expanded by one stop to 25,600 using the special Multi Noise Reduction mode. Processorīoth cameras use exactly the same powerful Bionz X image processor, which allows them to shoot at up to 24 images per second using the electronic shutter! ISO Speed The stacked Exmor RS sensor in these models gives them some advantages over the APS-C sensor ZV-E10 camera, primarily in burst shooting and slow-motion video capabilities (more on those below). Sensorīoth the ZV-1 and the ZV-1 II use exactly the same 20.1 megapixel, 1-inch stacked Exmor RS stacked sensor, so the image quality is the same. We're bringing you this in-depth Sony ZV-1 II vs Sony ZV-1 head-to-head comparison to help you choose between them. So how does the new ZV1 II differ from the original ZV1, and which of these cameras is the right one for you?

Now the new Mark II version of the ZV-1 has been launched in May 2023. The ZV-1 has been a very popular compact camera for Sony since its launch back in 2020, offering lots of features designed specifically for vlogging and content creation.
