ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS
PROS
1. Sony's excellent new Face Autoexposure Mode: you can find it in action in my two vlogging camera comparison videos: vs iPhone 11 Pro and Osmo Pocket
2. Video recording time is virtually unlimited (if you set Auto Pwr OFF Temp. to High) and I confirm I never have experienced any over heating issues
3. You can record vertical videos recognised as such when shared thanks to the built-in gyroscope (which is also useful to stabilise your footage in post-production as mentioned in my video)
4. Recording lamp in front of the camera which will tell you when you are recording a video, which is very useful if don't want to be distracted by the screen or if somebody else is operating the camera

MEHS
1. Sony has improved its colour science: it is a gr8 addition, but it shouldn't on its own urge you to choose the ZV1 over its bigger siblings IMHO
2. The screen still dims in 4K (but not in 1080p) which didn't bother me in my studio
3. Like with all RX100 series cameras, the placement of the battery door is still not optimal as any tripod would block it... but charging using a battery pack via the micro USB port works well for me
4. The power button is a bit too close to the mics which makes it slightly tricky to press whenever the wind muff accessory is mounted
