Jared Polinfronos photo.com and this is the Daily Fro for Thursday, May 28th, 2020. The time is now 11.07 in the a.m.

This is episode number 310 where I sit down sometime during the day to share what's on my mind with you and you.

You get to share what's on your mind with me by calling or texting 2674546376. So you can see the title.

It probably says Sony fail of some kind. I want to talk about the ZV1 launch. I want to talk about

the launch that Sony did, give you some insight input on how I feel about being a part of that launch

and also my thoughts on the camera.

First things first, if you didn't know what the ZV1 was, or shall I say is, the ZV1 is, in essence,

a Sony RX100 Mark 5 reworked into a body to be more of a vlogging camera. It still does stills, but the main focus

is the fact that it shoots video, vloggy style, has a flip-out rotatable screen, whatever

inch that is. It has a one-inch sensor, who cares. It has the 24 to 70-millimeter lens,

goes to F-1.8 at 24, but if you go to 25

millimeters, it's not 1.8 anymore. It has a bunch of other features for vloggers and beauty features

and blurring the background feature, which is just going to 1.8 when you're wide open and

putting the ND filter there if it needs it. So it's a smart camera. The auto focus is

fantastic. The built-in microphones are fantastic. We had issues with the plug-in where it was doing

whatever it was doing out at the top range when I would get loud. It would not sound great.

We talk about that in the review. If you haven't seen the review, please go look at the

review or check it out. Now, one of the misconceptions that people have is that Sony pays us to make this

type of video. And when I say us, I mean the community collectively. In some senses in cases,

there may be situations where there are marketing pushes where people are getting paid. In this

case, for the ZV1, we don't get paid to review it.

What happens is Sony reaches out to you.
