The Best Camera and Lenses for Vlogging 2019
Thread.
I often get asked what camera I use, truth is I have used a lot of cameras, from instant cameras, crop sensor and full frame dslr’s. With that said, having expensive equipment is great if you know how to use it, spend time studying, learn your equipment, go out and shoot more.
An interchangeable lens camera is the obvious choice for anyone serious about taking their video to the next level, and we pick out the ones we think offer the best combination of features, performance and value on the market right now.
The best cameras for vlogging have features that may not seem too important for regular stills photography. One of the most critical is an LCD screen that can flip round to the front so that you see yourself while you're filming. You always get this with a smartphone.
An effective autofocus system that can also keep track of you while you're recording yourself is also important, as you won't be able to adjust the camera while you're filming and eye AF can be a big advantage here.
Audio quality is more important for video than most folk realise, so ideally you need a camera with a microphone port so that you can plug in external microphones for better sound quality.
