This compact camera is perfect for street photography and vlogging – it's hard to find, but this UK retailer still has it in stock

The Sony ZV-1, a compact camera with both stills and video capabilities, has recently returned to stock at Amazon in the UK, now priced at £539 – a £80 reduction from its usual £619. This camera, praised for its portability and ease of use, weighs less than 300g and features a 20.1MP sensor, flip-out cari-angle screen, fast autofocus, and 4K video recording.

It is particularly popular among street photographers and vloggers due to its size, which allows it to go unnoticed while capturing candid moments. While it has minor drawbacks like a potential focus distance jump and less-than-ideal stabilization, its user-friendly controls and intuitive design make it a great choice for both photography and video content creation.

At its current price, the Sony ZV-1 offers excellent value, potentially becoming a "secret weapon" for street photographers and vloggers alike.
