Posted September 30, 2020 Hi! Sorry if there has been a post already about this, but i am looking for recommendations for starter youtuber cameras (I would like to start filming personal finance videos). In addition, if possible I would also like something that I could use for Nature pics or general photography (if thats an option for both, im not 100% educated on camera body vs lens). Are there reasonable 4k camera options, or is it better to start w 1080p to begin with? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 30, 2020 Sony ZV-1, it's a cheaper model of RX100 series which is getting more expensive. Or if you want changeable lenses, try Panasonic G85.

Posted September 30, 2020 There’s a whole series of videos on how to start pro quality video production with nothing but an iPhone. Sound is apparently more complicated than video. Not a pro, not even very good. I’m just old and have time currently. Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake. Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice thing about these pocket camera is it doesn't need extra lenses, all can be covered in one lens, from macro to tele.

Why would you want to record at 4K? the only reason to do it is for editing purposes as 99% of people don't watch YouTube on a 4K display. Would just use an iPhone for video and get a solid DSLR/ Mirrorless for photos Dirty Windows Peasants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus rendering down 4k to 1080p makes a sharper video vs a native 1080p shot. You'll have more creative option like zooming, panning & cropping 2x without loosing pixels on 1080p. 7 hours ago, GDRRiley said: why a rode mic?

Based on the videos they want to do it doesn’t sound like it’ll be more than a fixed camera all the way through and YT compression kills any benefit you’d get. Overall 4K just wastes disk space and increases upload times. Dirty Windows Peasants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a good PC that would be able to edit in 4k and was thinking the same thing relating to the creative options. Might be out of my price range right now tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
