Amtul and Fahad are vloggers who share creative, travel, and lifestyle related content. They made a humorous video of the two of them exploring the Maldives. They also, “tried the Sony ZV-E1 for the first time while filming this video and it legit blew us away! The full frame sensor and 10-bit internal footage is everything you need! If you want to up your game and take your videography to the next level, then we highly recommend this camera!”
