Which of these camera's would best fit your needs? Let us know below! 👇

[LiFaSoh]

The best beginner camera is the camera that you already own.

[NoahGill]

iPhone 15 pro max camera is beautiful! Recorded all 10 days in japan in 4k, footage and videos came out super nice!

[TC_Conner]

It would’ve been nice to see at least one budget friendly cam in each category. 😩

[mikesunboxing]

good lighting and audio are WAY MORE important than the camera you are using. An Iphone with good lighting will crush any of the cameras mentioned in the video if not lit right

[MichaelSuperbacker]

Happy Thanksgiving Think Media! I love your channel and videos!

[jeannulud]

Your smartphone is best for beginners but you'll drain your phone's battery faster and you'll get distracted from vlogging by calls & texts. So i really think investing in a camera solely for the purpose of recording is a good decision.

[RondellKB]

For vlogging, nothing beats the Osmo pocket 3. The quality of that camera is literally like a mirrorless camera. It has a built in gimbal, the low light performance is great. Overall, this video has some great recommendations. A6700, FX30, ZV-E10, Pocket 3 etc

[dizzycreates]

So stoked to see your Pocket 3 review! Got mine a couple weeks back and it’s a beast.

[progressivelibertarian]

All you need is an older used 1080p camera for podcasts (and most other things too). 1080p is max you’ll ever get going through Zoom or Streamyard, etc.

I use just iPhone XR in my videos now im 94k on TikTok and on YouTube 2, 8k I think it’s time to get camera Sony Alfa 5000 and take step to the next level thanks for the video ❤

[gaips]

I’m such a fan of USB-Webcam mirrorless camera setups(DJI Osmo Pocket 3 also has a clean USB-Webcam function)! There aren’t any multiple-camera-setup videos solely using USB-Webcam instead of using video switchers. A future video covering this would be cool.

[eurobratx]

Thanks for your recommendations. The line-up is very Sony focused. Would you consider any of the Canon line up? If you were looking for a good hybrid combo that can do video and photos, would you still choose the FX30?

[JulieMeikle]

I’d love a recommendation on what lens would be best for clothing try on videos on a canon 90D. I can’t get my whole body in and I look wider than I am with the lens I have.

[functiongarage]

Great Title and Thumbnail but the first recommendation is wild for a "Beginner" youtube camera. Definitely made me rethink juat use a cellphone and forget it lol

[LugoOutdoors-zubd]

Thank you so much for the reviews. One thing that I noticed is that you prefer SONY as a camera. What do you think about the Canon R50 as an entrance camera comparable to the SONY ZV-E10?

[herbertwalde]

Lumix S5ii - 6K Full Frame, Internal Fan (no overheating), Good Autofocus, Best Stabilization, Great Colors, Advanced Video Features, Open Gate Filming, Very good price.

Your little daughter is SO Is this her first YouTube video with Dad? Happy Thanksgiving!!🦃🦃🦃

[PaulRansonArt]

Still using my first 'real camera' Canon M50 Mk1 Great beginners camera and one of the first to offer clean HDMI and streaming software. Still going strong after 200+ longform videos.

[BradSchlueter]

The footage from the Sony ZV1 mk2 is awfully shaky. I’m surprised you recommend it.
