Is the sony zv 1 good for video?

Yes, the Sony ZV-1 is a good pick for video, especially if you want a small camera you can carry everywhere. It has a 1-inch sensor and a built-in lens, so there's nothing to swap or set up.

The one thing I'd check is the lens. The ZV-1's wide end frames like 25mm on full frame. For vlogging at arm's length, my video guide suggests something closer to 16-20mm, since stabilisation crops in further. If that matters to you, look at the Sony ZV-1 II, which zooms wider, or the Sony ZV-1F, which has a fixed 20mm-equivalent lens. Whichever you choose, budget for a microphone too, as the audio section explains.
