Sony ZV-E1 full-frame lens camera announced

Sony has just announced its all-new full-frame, interchangeable lens camera aimed at content creators called the Sony ZV-E1.

The ZV-E1 is an interchangeable lens camera with a 35mm full-frame image sensor. It features a 12MP full-frame image sensor, Sony‘s latest BIONZ XR image processing engine, a dedicated AI processing unit, and compatibility with Sony E-mount lenses.

Sony says that the BIONZ XR image processing engine found in the Sony ZV-E1 is eight times more powerful than previous Sony processors.

The ZV-E1 will be able to record 4K, with a full pixel readout at 10-bit 4:2:2, without the need for pixel binning.

The ZV-E1 will also have Sony’s Cinematic Vlog Settings, which Sony says will allow creators to shoot “cinematic” footage, depending on the user’s chosen look, mood, or AF transition speed.

In addition, the ZV-E1 will have what Sony calls “S-Cinetone,” an in-camera feature that aims to create a cinematic look straight out of the camera without post-processing.

The ZV-E1 will work with Sony’s newly announced Creator’s Cloud platform and app, which will allow you to control the camera from your phone, as well as transfer stills and video footage as well.

The Sony ZV-E1 will be available in May 2023 for a starting price of USD 2,199PHP 129,049INR 186,365EUR 2,094CNY 16,005 or around Php 119,595USD 2,038INR 172,767EUR 1,941CNY 14,842 (direct conversion).
