Best praise vs top criticism for Sony ZV-E1

Best Praise

“2k 60fps would only result in less heat if it would skip pixels. The ZVE1 is designed to run 4K without scaling, hence its excellent performance. Scaling an image down is expensive.”

“I have been shooting professional videography for 15 years 😂 I have the FX3, an A7S III and some Blackmagics. I wouldn’t touch the ZV-E1 for anything. 1 card slot, no full size HDMI, no RAW, and overheating is a big fat no from me thanks. But you do you bru!”
