  • Product typeWith 28-60 mm
  • 1 MP full-frame sensor captures cinematic depth
  • 5-axis SteadyShot stabilization keeps handheld footage smooth
  • UHD 4K 120p and FHD 240p enable slow-motion creativity

  • 28-60 mm f/4-5.6 zoom covers wide to portrait range

Compact full-frame vlog camera

The Sony ZV-E1 pairs a 12.1MP Exmor R CMOS sensor with a BIONZ XR processor and a dedicated AI unit in a body smaller than the ZV-E10. It is built for solo content creators who want cinematic bokeh and 15+ stops of dynamic range without the bulk of larger cinema rigs. The full-frame E-mount keeps lens options open while staying truly portable.

4K 120p video with 10-bit colour

UHD 4K at 120p and Full HD at 240p give ample slow-motion headroom for creative editing, while 10-bit 4:2:2 recording preserves grading latitude. The 12MP sensor limits stills resolution for large prints or heavy cropping, and rolling-shutter artefacts can appear during fast pans at the highest frame rates. Five-axis SteadyShot steadies handheld work but cannot replace a gimbal for walking shots.

28-60mm kit lens adds wide-to-short-tele range

The bundled FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 collapses for storage and covers establishing shots through to tight product angles. Its variable aperture restricts low-light depth-of-field control compared to faster primes, so creators shooting dim interiors will want additional glass. AI auto-framing and multi-face recognition automate composition for single-operator interviews and vlogs.

Questions about this item

Will the 28-60mm f/4-5.6 lens work on my older Sony APS-C E-mount body?

Yes, the lens uses the same E-mount and will function fully on APS-C bodies, though the field of view will be narrower than on the ZV-E1 full-frame sensor.

How can I verify the 12.1MP Exmor R sensor and BIONZ XR processor are delivering 15+ stops of dynamic range and 4K 120p recording?

Record a high-contrast test clip in S-Log3 at 4K 120p, then check the waveform monitor for clean highlight roll-off and minimal noise in the shadows during grading.

Does the box include a battery, charger and memory card, or must I buy them separately?

The kit contains the ZV-E1 body, FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 lens, rechargeable battery, USB cable and strap; a compatible CFexpress Type A or SD card is not included and must be purchased separately.
