The Sony ZV-1 is our original vlogging camera that we shot most of our travel videos on from it's release in May 2020 to the end of our summer European travel vlogs in the end of August 2021.

Sony released the ZV-E10 in August 2021 whilst we were away on our European summer road trip so we bought this as soon as we got back and have used it as our main vlogging camera since then.
