The Sony Alpha Twitter account teases a compact 4K camera-- the ZV-1, a camera rumours suggest is based on the popular RX100 VII and, as such, is primarily aimed at vloggers and other content creators.
The rumours come courtesy of another Twitter account, Nokishita. The digital camera blogger claims to have the press release for the ZV-1, one describing the camera as a 21.0MP shooter featuring a 1.0-type stacked CMOS sensor and "super-fast" autofocus, together with a 24-70mm zoom f/1.8-2.8 lens able to shoot both portraits and wide-angle images. The lens is interchangeable, and the camera uses AI-based subject recognition to track eye movement, even during 4K shooting.
Being designed around the needs of vloggers, the ZV-1 has a vari-angle screen allowing content creators to easily frame selfies while shooting. It also has a grip for a secure way of holding the camera, while a directional 3-capsule microphone includes technology from more advanced Sony camera systems for full-stereo audio capture. Customers can add an own microphone via 3.5mm input jack, and the package includes a wind screen.
Sony will confirm the details on 26 May 2020.
