  • Abstract:  When we 1st started TGSB's blog/YouTube channel, we only had a Canon PowerShot point-and-shoot camera. And haven't really used one ever since. A few weeks back, we got the opportunity to review Sony's latest point-and-shoot camera targeted to vloggers & c...

  • Vari-angle rear screen, Clip on wind shield, Brilliantly fast AF
  • Minimum focus distance changes with zoom, Stabilization seems pretty jerky, Why a 3:2 screen and not 16:9

  • Abstract:  Canon has cornered the market on vlogging, and while you might think that's a small market – think again. That's why GoPro went so hard with it's Media Mods, and it's why Sony is here with something brand new – the ZV-1, and it's got Vloggers in its fold-...
