The Sony ZV-1 is aimed at vloggers and is designed to capture great-looking videos without any complex set-up
At the Sony ZV-1’s heart is a 1-inch (13.2x8.8mm) Exmor RS CMOS sensor with a 20.1-megapixel resolution and 4K video. It has a vari-angle LCD screen that can face forwards, a directional three-capsule microphone with a windscreen supplied and a recording lamp.
Key features include the built-in 9.4-25.7mm zoom lens that gives the equivalent of 24-70mm in the 35mm format, a Soft Skin mode for smooth, natural-looking skin tones, a bokeh feature and real- time eye AF. The ZV-1 is priced at £699. sony.co.uk
Pentax has IBIS In last issue’s feature on mirrorless cameras, we said that in-body image stabilisers were the province of mirrorless cameras. We obviously managed to overlook the fact that Pentax has an IBIS system for its DSLR system and it is featured in the current entry-level K-70 and the pro-level K1 Mark II. Thanks to PN reader Philip Clewer for pointing out the error and apologies to Pentax and Pentax owners for any inconvenience caused. ricoh-imaging.eu/uk_en
