The ZV-E1 is still the most requested camera on this channel, and Sony hasn't said a word about a Mark II. So I built the wishlist myself: seven fixes I actually want, and the fallback I'd take if Sony says no to each one.

In sports they say your best ability is availability. Most reviews call the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P the better camera...but the Insta360 Luna Ultra's biggest spec is that you can actually buy it.

The standard "holy trinity" of zoom lenses — 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 — covered entirely with prime lenses instead. Thanks to Sony's Clear Image Zoom, which lets primes zoom up to 2x their focal length, three primes cover 18mm to 170mm.

The Luna Ultra isn't a bad camera. In fact, I really like it. The removable screen is one of the best innovations I've seen on a pocket camera. But after living with it for a few weeks, I realized the real decision isn't about image quality...it's about value.

The Sony ZV-E1 has AI processing that is widely clowned as a gimmick. In this video I'll talk about one of the AI features that I think is slept on...Auto-Framing.

The two year old DJI Mic 2 is still a viable option in 2026. It has 3.5mm input port that allows me use it to convert my usb c boom mic to be wireless.

The perfect camera does exist. The Sony ZV-E1 does everything I could of asked for and I left Canon and it's vaunted color science for it.
