Sony has announced the ZV-E1, a full-frame camera with interchangeable E-mount lenses. Like the A7R V, it features AI-based real-time AF tracking. This smallest and lightest full-frame camera is designed specifically for content creators and vloggers.

The ZV-E1 is the latest camera for video content creators. The full-frame sensor with 12.1 megapixels has a dynamic range of 15 stops and high light sensitivity. This is all thanks to a back-illuminated CMOS sensor.

The camera can record in 4K at up to 120 fps without any problems. Thanks to the fast BIONZ XR processor, AF speed has been significantly improved, and AI-based tracking, auto framing and frame stabilisation are possible.


You get optical image stabilisation. Video in 10-bit 4:2:2, S-Gamut3.cine, S-log3 and S-Gamut3/S-log3 is supported, and there is also focus breathing compensation. You also have settings for looks and moods, and the AF transition speed can be adjusted.

The ZV-E1 will be available from April 2023. The recommended retail price is estimated at 2,700 euros. The 4K 120p video capability will become available in June 2023 via a firmware update.
