The 5 Best Vlogging Cameras of 2015

Transcript:

What’s up! It’s Chris from DailyTekk.

So you wanna be a vlogger huh? I don’t blame you: vloggers have a lot of fun, they can make a lot of money and they’re some of the most recognizable faces on the planet.

So here’s 5 of the best vlogging cameras to get you started.

## Canon PowerShot G7 X

What you’re watching right now was shot on the PowerShot G7 X. Vloggers love this camera because of it’s selfie-friendly screen and ability to shoot in low light.

## Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 III

Like the G7 X, the screen of the RX100 flips up so vloggers can see themselves in action. The Sony shoots quieter than the G7 X, however, which means many vloggers prefer it for video.

The G7 X and the RX100 are perfect for vloggers with a skill level in-between entry-level and professional — or — who want many of the benefits of a DSLR but in a smaller package.

## Canon EOS 70D

If you’re looking for a DSLR for a more professional and polished look, the 70D is a great starting point. You’ll still get a pop-out screen, but you’ll gain the ability to attach an external mic (among other things).

The 70D is for vloggers who want to take their videos to the next level of professionalism — but without going broke.

## GoPro Hero4 Black

If you’re looking for a solid, but compact, 4K shooter, check out the GoPro Hero4 Black. It’s got an improved mic, SuperView wide angle and makes time-lapse shots easy.

The Hero4 Black is perfect for vloggers who need a camera that’s small and rugged but still shoots exceptional video.

## iPhone 6 (or Galaxy S6)

But if you can’t afford any of the cameras above, there’s nothing wrong with using your phone to vlog. The iPhone 6 in particular is very capable and can even shoot 60fps.

## Conclusion

If you have any questions about which camera to get, just leave me a comment below. Otherwise, make sure to subscribe and I’ll catch you tomorrow.

Hello Holly — since yours was a linked comment, I am not able to respond directly, but I do hope you find this reply. Basically, for music, I'd ultimately recommend getting a DSLR of some sort with an external mic you can hook up because the sound, in your case, will be as important (if not more so) than the video. If you're tight on cash, I'd use an iPhone :) You could also sync audio with WHATEVER camera you wanted to use (in editing with FCP X, for instance) using a device like the Zoom H5 or even a Blue Yeti USB mic. Hope this helps. But the most professional way to do it would be with a DSLR and a mic hooked into it (like a Rode VideoPro or similar).

If you cant afford any of these, just get an 800$ smartphone.Seems legit

Hello the Canon Powershot sx610 HS is good?

[XxxAkwardTurtlexxX]

What happened to the Sony a5100? it's light like a compact but can have interchangeable lenses like a dslr. mirrorless is the way to go!

[esamali]

What you think about GoPro hero black 5
You think is good !!

[rebeccachant]

The post about the Vlogging for beginners i appreciate so much, my head was spinning thinking about everything I would need and how much this was all going to cost. Thank you so much for the advice to all of us starting out.

I'd very much appreciate it if u could get back to me and share ur thoughts and recommend ations

[cecilianguyen]

what is the difference between the Canon PowerShot G7 X and the Canon Powershot G7X Mark II? thanks :)

[jencino]

What do you think about the autofocus- noise of the g7x?

[aestro]

[mikesouroullas]

What camera do you suggest for shooting outside activities(e.g. skateboarding) and vlogging?

[DawsonBaranowski]

i have a sony dsc-wx500, is that a good vlogging and sports camera?

[BradleyPeckShorts]

with the sony rx100 does it shoot 60fps? because i'm hoping to do daily vlogs soon so i need a decent camera that is also affordable

[bruno-swgn]

I Chris, I found the video and audio quality of your video nice... what happens if you go external ? I am looking for a camera for vlogging to make some external videos and internal interview type (two people on the screen).. I do not want to mix voice record with video.. so I may look at a external jack connected to a microfone.. any suggestion that would suit me under 500$ ? I nice vlogger with good external flip screen and capability to attach external mic for me to do my interviews ?

[VionyTania]

i want to start doing a travel vlog during my stay in japan (like vlogging while walking and such) which camera does the best? i own a gopro4 silver and canon60d (sadly 60d doesn't have a continuos auto focus so it's hard to use for vlogging) i'm planning to buy a camcorder (panasonic w870m) but still thinking about it. how long do the canon power shot and sony cyber shot last in a 1 nonstop filming? do they have a longlasting battery since gopro doesn't last that long and i always have problem importing my vids and i lost my data too.. i don't want to bother buying an external microphone and such but do sony and canon have a good stability since i'll be recording while walking.. thanks :)

[persuasionsmakeup]

what video editing software do you use and do you use a particular light for your videos. (something affordable maybe. lol)

[elinathan]

I'm just starting a youtube channel without a ton of cash, I'm considering the hero 4 black or the 70d, the 70d would be great because I'm a aspiring photographer and cinematographer but the go pro seems so cool for road trips sea diving and things like that, what would you recommend?

[rossxjohnson]

Just saw this post. Nice video and interesting. I think the G7 X is a great camera but the battery is one of the downfalls. However the perfect quality is only ideal in lighting conditions and when it's stabalized etc. I'm surprised you didn't mention the Lumix GH4?
