Sony teases upcoming ZV-E1 full-frame vlogging camera coming on March 29

Sony Taiwan has posted a teaser image to Instagram for an upcoming vlogging camera. This is expected to be the recently rumoured full-frame vlogging camera, the Sony ZV-E1. Similar to the Sony ZV-E10, the ZV-E1 will be a camera specifically focused on vlogging – as the slogan above confirms. General video will be secondary, and photography will barely be a consideration. It’ll still shoot photos, but I wouldn’t hold out hope for advanced features.

It’s said to be based around the Sony A7S III, including 4K 120fps with no cropping and no pixel binning, using the same 12-megapixel sensor found in both the A7S III and FX3. The ISO capabilities are also rumoured to extend up to ISO 409,600, although it’s unclear what autofocus system the camera will have yet. It’s expected to be similar to that of either the Sony A7 IV or A7R V, although nothing solid on which.

Sony to release full-frame ZV-E1 vlogging camera at the end of March

According to recent rumours, Sony is preparing to announce a new camera at the end of the month. It’s reported to be called the Sony ZV-E1. Along similar lines to the Sony ZV-E10, this will be another interchangeable lens vlogging camera. Except, this one is expected to be a full-frame camera. Not only that but it’s said to feature the same sensor as the Sony A7S III and Sony FX3 cinema cameras.

This will be Sony’s first full-frame camera targeted directly towards vloggers in their ZV series. One could argue that the Sony A7c was the first full-frame vlogging camera from Sony but with the higher 24-megapixel resolution and relatively limited video features – it has no 4K60 video, for example – it wasn’t truly dedicated towards vloggers. By the sounds of this one, though, it should be a dream come true.
