Any Sony ZV-1 Owners Out There?

Hi lads. I'm in the market for a new camera and this one has caught my eye, mainly for video (my OH has been using her phone for recording the classes she teaches, and could use an upgrade, and I'd like to start making the occasional YouTube video too). Does anyone here own one and could potentially offer feedback? Obviously full frame and changeable lenses would be nice, but the flip-out-to-the-side screen and product showcase features would be more useful for our needs, I think. Thoughts?

I'm interested in this too, thinking of selling my rx100va but unsure if its just a sideways update.

Yeah, I'm actually leaning towards the full frame A7C now. More expensive, but would be great for video, and also replace my ageing D5000 DSLR.

yes deffo get that. I have the A7iii with 28, 55 and 85 mm lenses and a Tamron 28-75. The rx100va is for when I cant be bothered lugging the other around, its not really used much so may just stick with it and not bother with the ZV-1. Don't forget my previous tip if you get the A7C - open a very account. Don't use it. then they send you a 20% off voucher, I've just had another which is why I was considering the ZV-1 - 140 off 700 is a pretty good discount....if only Sony were doing a Spring promotion....
