Sony's Easy-To-Use 'ZV-E1' Can Film 4K Content Without Cropping

Sony has unleashed a new vlogging camera in the form of the 'ZV-E1,' a compact device that aims to bring high-end features such as 4K video and compatibility with a vast array of lenses into a diminutive package.

The 'ZV-E1' is a vlogging camera that uses interchangeable lenses and is capable of recording 4K video at 60 frames per second without any cropping. Meanwhile, 4K video at 120 frames per second is said to be made available shortly with 10 percent cropping. Elsewhere, the camera offers effective low-light filming, hybrid autofocus and an AI-assisted processing mechanism that helps elevate content.

Yang Cheng, VP of Imaging Solutions at Sony, stated that the 'ZV-E1' is the result of proactively taking into account customer feedback and desires. "We have taken all the information into mind with our development of this new camera – with more sophisticated video features, a streamlined user experience and an extremely compact design, the ZV-E1 offers a whole new way for today’s creators to create top level video content," said Cheng.
