Our top pick for the title of best vlogging camera, the ZV-1 has now matched (or in the UK, beaten) its lowest-ever price. So if you're looking for a small but powerful camera with incredibly sticky autofocus and impressive video quality, it's a good time to snap up the ZV-1 in this year's Black Friday deals.

This camera's combination of a 1-inch sensor and bright 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens is a solid foundation, but it's the real-time tracking autofocus that lifts it above rivals.

Save £120 – This deal is the lowest-ever price for our number one vlogging camera. The ZV-1 combines a large 1-inch sensor with a bright 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens, but the real star is its excellent real-time tracking autofocus and Eye AF. These take all the hard work out of keeping your subject in focus, so you can concentrate on your presentation skills.

When it comes to compact vlogging cameras, the Sony ZV-1 remains top of the pile for a few reasons. It combines the best parts of Sony's excellent RX100 series, like the RX100 VII's mic port and the RX100 V's bright 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens. You also get a side-flipping screen, which is essential for those looking to film to camera.

But its most unique features are its software skills, most notably Sony's real-time tracking autofocus and Eye AF. These keep the focus locked on your subject, while other features like 'Product Showcase' are designed specifically for YouTubers who regularly do product reveals.

With other bonuses on board, including a built-in ND filter and profiles like S-Log2 for those who want to embrace color grading, the ZV-1 is a camera that can grow with your skills, despite its relatively humble appearance. In its previous discounts, the ZV-1's price hasn't stayed this low for very long, so we'd suggest snaffling this deal if it's been on your wishlist.
