Sony Europe has just started a premiere: a new camera is coming…
Interestingly (well, maybe not) this is the same hold music we had for the GoPro launch. Could it be a similar type of trailer to the one we’re about to see?

What we’d like to see from a new Sony vlogging camera
Lenses Is a fixed 20mm lens really the right choice for vlogging? It’s wide enough to shoot and cover a lot of bases, but it seems very limiting for creators, and of course if that’s 20mm without the crop factor, that means we’re actually looking at a 30-equivalent mm. which is too long for remote vlogging.
Touchscreen What other changes could we potentially see? Well, a big one for us would be a meaningful touchscreen interface on the touchscreen. It’s all well and good to give vloggers a flexible screen so they can film themselves, but its benefit on current ZV cameras is minimized by the fact that you can’t actually change any settings on them (instead of having to blindly search the buttons). the back of the camera).
IBIS we’d also like to see in-body image stabilization, rather than relying on electronic stabilization that imposes more cropping on the image. Whatever is included or not, we won’t have to wait long to find out! Tune in tomorrow for our live coverage.
What the Sony rumors say
According to Sony Alpha Rumors (opens in a new tab), the new camera Sony is releasing will be called the Sony ZV-1F. Leaked specs include a 20mm f/2 lens we’ve already mentioned, plus USB-C charging, 4K 24p video, 1080p 60p, and “new icons on the touchscreen.”
And what about the prices? Well, thenewcamera.com (opens in a new tab) suggests it will be priced lower than the already affordable Sony ZV1. Rumor has it that it will only shoot jpg (no RAW files), making it very much aimed at beginner vloggers.
