    your comparison is like the best around! I love how thorough it is, thank you very much, this is super helpful 😁
  • @codyfleming
    Dunna, you're a pretty cool dude love your advice and has definitely inspired me to try new things. Thank you!
  • I would like to see a „Not just auto“ comparison. Push it on each device. Maybe against your Main Camera aswell.
  • @RyanKao
    Fantastic breakdown my dude. Loved the flow 🎉
  • @lvchubby
    Thanks for the comparison. I'm not a photographer but I prefer how the image looks from the zv-1, more contrast and natural. I used to think the pictures from phones look great but recently started to find them unnatural and washed out. I'm seriously considering buying the zv-1 for travel instead of upgrading my phone.
  • @lanjanjan
    Out of the many comparison, you nailed to what is important and rate and compare to the priority factors. Other ones they talk too many things irrelevant and waste time, but you are just right on every word of choice and topics that I didn't have to fast forward or choose 2 times speed. So just want to praise you for your youtube video
  • @videobiker9131
    Thank you for being very informative, I really appreciate your style of presentation
  • @OlarikMusigavong
    Thank you for your VDO this is the the things I want to know 🙏🙏🙏
  • Thanks for this review. I have been using my DJI Osmo pocket and sometimes my iPhone 14 pro. I want to upgrade and I think I will go ahead and purchase the Sony for my talking head videos. I was hoping DJI came out with the Osmo 3 but haven’t heard anything.
  • @myricaiberis
    I've been using Sony ZV-1 for about 2 years now. I love the result so much from ZV-1 and it's half the price of the newest iPhone back then. However, many times security would forbid me to record with this camera (but it's ok with phone camera).
  • Okay I’m genuinely shocked! I was going to get the ZV1 M2 but now I might just upgrade my iPhone now LOL
