What Camera You Should Use for Live Streaming

In this video I talk about how to select a camera for live streaming. If you stream to Facebook Live, YouTube Live or your Website, you're going to need to select a camera to use. What are the requirements you should be looking for when you purchase cameras for your live stream setup? I hope to answer those questions in this video.

"The reality is, spending more on a camera is just going to show your poor lighting, better." That cracked me up.

[shegotthedonk]

Yes !! Please make those videos!!! You have a gift to explain this subject to beginners like myself

[KimMaverick]

I’m so happy I found your channel! Great info & suggestions, and a wonderfully organized presentation. Thank you so much!

[richardcrowley]

Kudos, you nailed it, Stephen. After doing video and audio for several decades I arrived at exactly the same conclusions as you presented here. Keep up the good work.

The information I've been seeking for some time. It was comprehensive, to the point, and reinforced with graphic illustrations. I wish all YouTube instructional videos were presented in this manner!

Thanks for this clear concise information. We've been live streaming our church service for a little over a year and I am looking into adding some angled cameras, but didn't want to spend a fortune. This looks like a great option.

Finally i decided to subscribe, your time you’re not showing off or being obnoxious. I like what you do. Thanks I’ve learned a lot from your videos.

Great video. You just cleared my confusion about which camera is good for me. I ordered vixia hf r800 from canon website but it was refurbished. With one year warranty. Not received yet but it’s on the way. Thanks

Thanks for providing direct audio into camera for syncing. I have always face audio sync out issue through machine. Thanks for this technique.

[andreasschnieder]

A'm very glad to hear the hint for using the audio input of the cam! I'm searchig for a long time to solve the problems sync audio/video without software, thanks a lot, (now I will test it)

I have never subscribed to a youtube channel before. This is the first--maybe the only one--I will ever subscribe to. You talk is incredibly well-organized and clear. Thankyou.

[foxkenji]

Wow. Thank you really. You’ve made it so simple to understand. I have little experience with video cameras (I do photography); but I’ve been trying to figure out something for live-streaming for my church. As of now they’ve only managed below-SD-quality with mono audio and it’s 2020!

[Monkeyhat]

That was very informative and really answered a lot of questions I had. Thanks so much!

[YourLoveIsStrong]

You are such a good teacher! Appreciate these videos.

[kevineves]

[davidnollmusic]

Your video is SO helpful. Thank you SO much!

[SRMArima]

I really like the information and recommendations given, thanks.

[revfaletagaloa]

Awesome video. Can you please do a "Best Cameras for live switch and recording (on a budget)" please.
Or do you recommend the r800 for this purpose also?

Love your videos!!

[lindasaunders]

You are wonderful wish I'd found you a week ago it would have saved me going dizzy searching for info that you have all in this one video. Big huge thumb up and thanks
