Sony ZV-1F vs Sony ZV1 – The Sony ZV1F camera is $250 cheaper than the Sony ZV1. The biggest noticeable difference is the lens of the and the HYBRID AF SENSOR inside the ZV1 camera. With the Sony ZV1F, we are getting a 20mm prime lens and with the Sony ZV1, we are getting a 24-70 eg zoom lens. So, of course, you will lose some flexibility u have in the Sony ZV1 camera, but at the same time, you will gain a little bit more wide-angle coverage which is highly important when you are creating content with the camera, for which it is made. For the first time in a Sony vlogging camera, we are about to witness a cold shoe, it can only act as an external mic holder but it doesn’t have any active contacts inside it.

we have two different variations of Sony’s 1-inch sensor being used in Sony ZV-series compact cameras, the first one of the CDAF sensor being used in the ZV-1F camera, and the other variation of Sony compact the ZV-1, which uses HYBRID CMOS AF sensor, comes at a higher price.
Recommendation
So, the autofocusing performance of the camera upscales the video recording performance to the next level, so if ur able to upscale your budget and get the Sony ZV1 camera you must get that.
Yes, we do have all the fancy Auto Focus modes we have witnessed in the ZV1. But as usual, the hardware is missing (no active Hybrid AF points). Despite all the -ve things, we do have some good news in the AF department. At least the Eye AF mode of the camera works well and tracks AF all the time.

3. Missing Mechanical Image Stabilization
Sony ZV1-F camera doesn’t have any kind of Mechanical IS, which includes Sensor shift IS and OSS [Lens based]. Not only that Gyro IS is also missing, but the good news is we are getting at least EIS [electronic Image stabilization] from the camera. And when you implement it you have to face a 1.25X crop which turns your 20mm lens into a 25mm lens. That’s the only major positive thing I like inside ZV1-F is even after implementing EIS feature the widest coverage is similar to the ZV1 24mm focal length.

As you can see the Sony ZV1-F camera is limited to 29 Min recording timeline and the frame rates are also limited, it a clear indication that Sony not only wants to increase its consumer base they also want to save the ZV1 sales, by cutting down some basic features from the camera.

According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web, the upcoming Sony vlogging camera name is Sony ZV-1F and the specification of the camera is
Sony ZV-1F Camera Specification
October 13, 2022, 23:00 Japan time
Most likely a fixed-lens camera
Lower price than ZV-1
Not a successor to the ZV-1
20mm F2 lens
20 million pixel sensor
new menu
USB-C
JPG only
4K 24p
1080p 60p
New icon on a touch monitor
Compact design for Vloggers
From the specification we have, it’s very clear that the Sony ZV1 F is a VLOGCAM. The camera will have an even lower price than the Sony ZV1 compact vlogging camera and hence it’s not a true successor of the camera. The camera will give only JPEG output only, no RAW files which cleary means the camera is aimed at beginner vloggers.
We will post more updates as soon as they become available to us.

2. Sensor
The Canon R7 sensor is a 32.5MP FSI CMOS sensor, There are two variants of CMOS: Front-side illuminated (FSI) and back-side illuminated (BSI). What makes a BSI CMOS sensor better than a conventional CMOS sensor? The simple answer is that the design makes it easier for light to reach the photo diodes on the sensor, BSI CMOS sensor ups readout speed and improves low-light imaging. And the Sony FX30 Camera features 26 MP BSI CMOS Sensor. So, sensor architecture says the Sony is better.
3. Video Resolution & Frame rate
4K 120 (1.6x / super 35mm look)
None
4k 60 (1.04x crop)
4K 60p HQ (1.8x Crop) / 4K Fine uncropped
4k 24, 30 fps
4k 24, 30 without crop
Full HD 240 FPS
Full HD 120 FPS
As you can see the Sony FX30 camera is able to shoot videos up to 4k 120 fps and Full HD videos up to 240 FPS. The crop factor of the Sony FX30 camera is negligible in 4k 60FPS mode and we do have an excessive crop in 4K video of the canon R7 camera if we are not using the “FINE” video mode. If we select the 4k 60fps full sensor readout mode in the Canon R7 then the camera goes into line-skipping algo and does record 4k videos with less details.
4. Video Codec
The Sony FX30 Record in 10-bit 4:2:2 using advanced XAVC HS and XAVC S-I formats. But, in Canon, we are missing the ALL-I intra format and so the MAX BIT RATE Speed. I don’t know why Canon always keep out the ALL-I intra format from their Mirrorless cameras. The S-Log3, the FX30 can capture 14+ stops of dynamic range. in Canon R7 we have the Clog3.
The FX30 camera is capable of producing RAW video data up to 16 BIT from the HDMI port. the Canon R7 remains limited to 10 BIT.
Additional features include S-Cinetone uses the same color science as Sony’s advanced cinema cameras, including the VENICE line, with natural mid tones, soft colors, and smooth highlight roll-off. And the most important part is Up to 16 user-created LUTs and three presets can be set for accurately monitoring footage or previewing a specific look during shooting. These can be applied to the camera’s monitor or EVF as well as the HDMI output.
5. Low-Light performance
Recording at the base ISO enables you to take full advantage of the image sensor performance. You can capture material that withstands color grading better, without becoming degraded.

Two base ISO options are available for FX30 also as you can see in the table above, for low or high sensitivity. Choose a base ISO to suit the scene you are shooting.
6. Image Stabilization
Sony FX30 features Mechanical Image stabilization / 5-axis in-body image stabilization, as well as FX30, which can also record gyro movement when the optical + Mech. stabilizers are turned off. Canon R7 camera features an excellent mechanical IBIS unit that corrects up to 7 stops of unwanted camera shake when shooting handheld.
7. Verdict
Sony FX30 is the best camera for recording videos when compared to the Canon R7 camera.

According to a popular Japanese camera news information website asobinet.com, the Canon EOS M50 Mark II (Kiss M2) is partially Discontinued in Japan. Take a look at what they have to say
This time, we were able to confirm that sales have ended for two types, the “EF-M15-45 IS STM Lens Kit” and “Double Lens Kit” (sales have also ended at direct sales stores).
. As of now, there is no sign that Canon will introduce a successor model to the EOS Kiss M2, and it may gradually integrate the APS-C system into the EOS R. That said, it seems difficult to judge at what stage the EOS M system, which is popular in Asia, will be closed
So, as usual, the camera makers do nowadays, they do country-wise discontinuation. As soon as its demand goes low in other Asian countries or in USA, the production of M50 II is likely to be stopped.
