The current COVID-19 pandemic and community quarantine may have hindered us, vloggers and video creators, from going out there to shoot more content but I'm sure these challenges won't be enough to douse our desire to show our artistry through our homemade films.Over the past three months of staying home with family, I've been reading articles and watching videos on Youtube about new cameras that can help me improve the content on my Youtube Channel -- just to be ready when things finally get better. Earlier in June, I stumbled upon an interesting new product from Sony which truly fits the bill.
More affordable than Sony RX100 Mark VII and having more user-friendly video-recording features, the all-new Sony ZV-1 can definitely be a reliable companion and handy tool for any starting vlogger or Youtube content creator who wants to craft better output.Beginners can’t go wrong with this digital camera's One-Push Bokeh Switch and One-Push Product Showcase buttons that easily add beautifully blurred backgrounds to highlight the subject. Combined with the legendary Japanese company's advanced color science that delivers smooth and natural skin complexion, ultra-fast face-tracking AutoFocus, image stabilization for handheld recording, instant Skin Beauty Effect for video, and the latest directional 3-capsule mic for clear voice recording with less ambient and wind noise, the Sony ZV-1 simply lets you and your passions shine in any environment.Sony ZV-1 is easy to use all while delivering video quality, which makes it perfect for sharing daily casual moments. Whether you look shooting unboxing videos, recording make-up sessions, filming your new recipes or simply making TikTok clips, this new Sony camera is ideal for you. Although it's small and lightweight, Sony ZV-1 comes with heavy-weight features that let you can shoot great videos anytime, anywhere, and share them instantly on your social media or Youtube account without having to do major edits.
Additionally, with its vari-angled LCD screen, Sony ZV-1 lets you take photos and record vertical videos for your Instagram and Facebook stories. The VCT-SGR1 Shooting Grip, which is included as a freebie in the pre-order package (along with a 64GB Sony microSD Card), makes this even more convenient.Customers in the Philippines may avail of this generous pre-order offer at the following Sony Stores and authorized retail channels nationwide:
