Vlogging Cameras buying guide

Introduction:

Are you interested in starting a vlog? If so, you’ll need to invest in a good vlogging camera. The market for these devices can be confusing, so we’ve put together this guide to help you choose the best camera for your needs. We’ll take a look at the different types of vlogging cameras available and recommend some of the best models currently on the market.

Vlogging Cameras – What Makes a Good One?

When choosing a vlogging camera, it’s important to remember that you want to be able to take good photos with it as well as shoot video. So, the first thing to consider is whether the camera has good video and audio capabilities. After all, if the sound on your videos is poor or the footage is shaky, no one is going to want to watch them. Here are the most important features to look for in a vlogging camera:

- Good video and audio quality
- Ability to shoot in low light
- Wide angle lens
- Flip screen

1080p or Higher Video Resolution

When it comes to the resolution of your vlogging camera, there are three primary choices: 720p, 1080p and 4K. The "p" stands for "progressive scan", which is the format of the video. The higher the number, the higher the resolution of the video. A 720p camera will shoot video at 1280x720 resolution, while a 1080p camera will shoot at 1920x1080 resolution. Ultra HD, also known as 4K, shoots at 3840x2160 resolution.

The other factor to consider when it comes to resolution is frames per second (fps). This is how many images are captured per second, and it affects the smoothness of your video. The higher the fps, the smoother your video will be. Most cameras shoot in 30fps or 60fps mode, but some can go up to 120fps.

"Image Stabilization "

When it comes to shooting video, image stabilization is key. Sure, you could try to keep your hands as still as possible while filming, but that's not always realistic (or desirable). No one wants a shaky video. If you're filming on the move, you'll want a camera with optical image stabilization. This is a feature that compensates for the motion in your hand by moving the lens inside the camera in the opposite direction. It's a must for any motion photography and can make a big difference in the quality of your footage.

Low-Light Capability

For shooting in low light, you'll want to consider a camera with good low-light capability. This is especially important if you plan on shooting outdoors at night or in other dimly lit locations. There are a few features to look for in a vlogging camera when it comes to low light. One is optical image stabilization. This is a feature that compensates for the motion in your hand by moving the lens inside the camera in the opposite direction. It's a must for any motion photography and greatly reduces the amount of shake you'll see in your videos.

Wide-Angle Lens

When you're shopping for a vlogging camera, one of the most important specs to look for is the lens angle. For shooting a cooking video from a tripod, lens angle isn't critical, but for super popular selfie-style videos, you'll want a wide-angle lens between 24 and 28mm. This gives you the best chance of not cropping something important out of the shot or pulling your arm out of its socket to get it all in!

 Flip-up Screen

Flip screens have become a favorite feature of vlogging cameras. They let you see exactly what you’re filming when you point the camera at yourself. This is important because it allows you to make sure that you look good in your videos. By seeing what your audience will see, you can adjust whatever is necessary to improve your final product.

External Microphone Input

If you're making videos, you know that audio is just as important as video. However, most cameras don't have great microphones, which can lead to poor-quality sound. That's why an external microphone is such a critical accessory for vlogging. External microphones can capture sound much better than the built-in mic on a camera, making your videos sound much better. There are a variety of external microphones available, so be sure to do your research to find the one that's right for you.

Wi-Fi Capability "

When you're filming yourself, you want to make sure that you're looking your best. That's why smartphones—despite their shortcomings—have become so popular with vloggers. They're a one-device solution for creating and uploading content. If you have a camera that's Wi-Fi enabled, though, it makes things even easier. You can upload footage straight to your computer or social media account without having to fuss with cords or transfer files. It's not an essential feature, but it definitely makes life a little bit easier. And if you're depending on your vlog for income, it makes you more productive.
