Sony ZV-E1 (2023)

Sony's full-frame vlogging body routes almost everything through two small ports: a USB-C at 5Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1 — often misreported as USB 2.0) that handles PD power, tethering and native UVC/UAC streaming up to 4K30, and a Micro HDMI Type D that outputs 4K60 10-bit and even 16-bit RAW to external recorders. Separate 3.5mm mic and headphone jacks and a single UHS-II SD slot round it out; digital-audio mics ride the Multi Interface Shoe.
