Is the sony zv 1 ii good for video?

Yes, for most vlogging and talking-to-camera work. The ZV-1 II's 6.9-18mm lens frames like 19-48mm on full frame, so it starts at the wide end of what works at arm's length, and the f/1.8-4 aperture helps in dim rooms.

Its big gap is stabilisation, which this camera doesn't have. Plan on a steady grip or a gimbal for walking shots. Before you buy, check the screen flips to the front and that there's a microphone input, since those matter more for vlogging than the sensor does.

If you want something simpler, the Sony ZV-1F has a fixed 20mm-equivalent lens. For a full-frame look, the Sony ZV-E1 is the step up. The For vlogging checklist covers the rest.
