Vlogging Camera Help

[GeekaWhat]

Hi,

 

I have a Canon 700D (t5i) and whilst I know some of the bigger vloggers use the 70D and likes of the t5i (namely casey neistat) I am looking for a cheap point and shoot that does 1080p video, ideally with a flip screen for less than £200 (~$285)

 

Thanks,
James

Vlogging on a bike? or not? I use GoPro Hero3 Silver when out and about on the bike.

also talking broadly about OTHER action cameras not just go pros

 

Well some have modes like superview, some have lens correction, some have none wide angle modes etc, some have software to remove the fish eye,

action cameras are not always just crazy fish eye 

(not that I am saying get one)

an RX100 or canon G7 etc are great vlogging cameras but probably not in that budget, most cheapo point and shoot cameras have tiny sensors 

 

Go Pro 4k Wide vs Superview for example

Ok, thanks I didn;t realise that.

 

I've decided I'm gonna stuff it and use my T5i with a gorilla pod and video mic go from RODE. I'm gonna pick up insurance for £40 and be done with it, if it breaks its insured lol

breaking a DSLR is pretty hard

 

yeah just get a wide angle lens, and turn the camera round

yeh, my 700D has a flip out screen so that solves the 'I can't see whats in frame problem', plus walking around with a point and shoot can look a bit weird - a dslr sends the message of 'I don't even care' out I suppose - plus the 18mm focal length on my kit lens is fine for now - i"ll probably get a 22mm F2 at some point
