Is the sony zv 1 good for travel?

The Sony ZV-1 is a fair travel camera, but I wouldn't call it ideal. Its built-in lens frames like 25-69mm on full frame, a short zoom that suits street scenes, people and food better than wide landscapes or big interiors. Its stabilisation, in the lens or the body, helps in dim churches and restaurants, and the 1-inch sensor is a clear step up from a phone.

The travel guide suggests a zoom reaching around 24-105mm equivalent, and the ZV-1 doesn't get that wide or that long. If you want more width, the Sony ZV-1 II offers a wider 18-50mm-equivalent zoom, which suits arm's-length shooting. I don't list the ZV-1's weight or battery life on its page, so weigh it with its lens in your own bag before you commit.
