Having used the Sony ZV-1 for on-the-run vlogging projects, I can attest to its speedy autofocus and solid in-body stabilization. The ZV-1 allows you to walk around and film yourself without the fear of creating unusable footage. The BIONZ X Image processor does a lovely job in most lighting situations and produces nicely saturated images and video.
Weighing just 10.4 ounces and measuring just 4.15 x 2.36 x 1.7 inches, it has a highly portable form factor that fits in most bags and even your jacket pocket. The other thing you get is excellent Sony audio recording, as the mic array on the ZV-1 does a more than adequate job of focusing on your voice. If you have a wireless mic or a wired lavalier, the ZV-1 has you covered with a 3.5mm mic jack and a hot shoe to place your wireless mic.
Getting the Sony ZV-1 for under $700 is a steal and one for anyone looking for a good camera they can use for near-effortless content creation.
