Vlog Camera Sony Mark 2

Overall, I LOVE the Lumix S1. I use it mostly for it's 10bit 4k video ability. The 4k resolution and detail is spectacular. It's 10bit color in HLG and VLog is great and it's VLog dynamic range is THE most I have EVER seen in any camera before. It's 150Mbp/s 4k long GOP CODEC is surprisingly tough. It encodes VERY well down into the shadows and allows you to aggressively stretch colors upward without seeing the noise floor and compression artifacts that you certainly would expect. Auto focus is not on Sony's A+ level but it's not terrible either. I would rate it's AF a solid B grade performer. Now for the one bad part - In VLog, the S1 and S1H suffer a severe defect in terms of blue LED lights. Actually, they are completely intolerant to any kind of blue lights in dark scenes. In fact, they will go berserk and clip the blue very, VERY badly. The blue clipping will swallow areas all around any blue LED light, completely ruining your shot. However, this does NOT happen in HLG at all. HLG is perfectly fine in the exact same scenes. I believe this can be fixed in firmware but until then, when using VLog, be EXTREMELY careful with any blue light in your shot. (i.e stage lighting or wedding receptions, etc..) If you see blue, switch to HLG....don't risck it! With that problem aside,...this is a PHENOMENAL camera in sooooo many ways. I'm very much in love with it! (I left Sony for this camera because of it's 10bit video)

It's easy to buy any camera here and I like this camera for vlog

Easy to learn and fun point and shoot/vlog camera!

I got the MK.2 and it is easily the best webcam I have ever owned. I used a professional Sony camera with the Elgato Cam Link before and the MK.2 rivals its quality!

Must have vlog equipment!

I purchased this microphone to pair with my Sony a6400 for vlog style shooting and have been very impressed with the instant boost in sound quality. The all metal construction is very nice as well and the lyre suspension system is great for reducing handling noise. All in all this is a great microphone for the sub $100 category.

I had purchased this to support a Sony ZV-1 to take photos/video at ground level and to VLOG. The build quality is good. The ballhead is basic, but does the job. It tightens adequately. Nice compact unit.

Having owned an a7R ll and an a7R lll, I can honestly say the new Mark IV is a big improvement. Overall, the camera is more ergonomic. Sony increased the size of the grip just a bit making for a more comfortable hand-holding experience. I like the new implementation of Eye AF and action tracking. The EVF has been upgraded to the point that looking through the viewfinder, almost looks as good as an optical finder. All the buttons have been upgraded to feel more precise. 2 memory slots ... big deal! 61 MP of resolution! What can I say ... the files are beautiful and rich in detail, AND BIG! The addition of variable aspect ratios for me was a big deal and reason enough fopr me to upgrade to the new Mark IV. I came from shooting 6x6 medium format. Never really liked the 35mm aspect ratio. Now I have the ability to shoot squares (1:1) or 4:3 and see the crop in camera. I suspect 61mp and an increase in focus points provided an easier transition to crop images in camera. The touch screen option is only good for placing a focus point, not for menu selections. Don't know why Sony implemented touch screen this way, but maybe can be fixed in a firmware update? Beware, that Sony menus are not the greatest. The new IV attempts to improve the menus, but they are still a little confusing ... you do get used to them over time. Overall ... a great camera. If you shoot action & portraits, you will love the implementation of eye AF and tracking ... worth the upgrade in my opinion. For all of you landscape shooters ... get ready for some amazing files!

2nd camera needed this.

I have had this camera for some time now and I promise you this was the best purchase I ever made. Alot of my partners all ran to Sony when the 5D Mark IV was released 4 out of 5 have returned to Cannon. This is the total package and the real deal.
