Camera for youtube

[Mullen]

I'm thinking about starting a new YouTube channel so I'm looking for a 1080p 60fps camera that is cheap. I would hopefully want one sub-200 dollars and it doesn't have to be to great just something that can shoot 1080p 60fps. Thanks

Sony HDR-CX240 is pretty decent.

This is probably one of the better cameras you can find at that price for dedicated video. Its a bit more that your budget, but it has features like a mic input that is pretty crucial for video.

Two points i'd like to make for starting youtube. 

 

-60 fps is bullshit when it comes to cameras. Unless you're doing 1/2 slow mo it's worthless. 

-Audio! When it comes to video production it's more important than video

60FPS isn't bullshit, it looks quite a bit smoother than 30fps does, but for a beginner I agree it's not really needed.

 

Audio is a very important part, but nobody wants to watch something potato quality, imo for a beginner probably 720p 30fps is fine as long as the audio is half decent.

In games, yes 60 fps will look smoother because of how a frame is rendered as a still image. But with videos capture on a shutter there is natural motion blur which more naturally interpreted as smooth motion. As long as you have a 180 degree shutter angle you can get smooth motion.

I can still see quite a difference between 30fps and 60fps in videos that were recorded by a camera, whether it be the camera moving or things in the view of the camera moving, there is still quite a bit of a difference.

Even though I can shoot at 60 I still shoot reviews and normal stuff at 30 unless I am doing half speed slow motion

 

24/25/30 is what you want for normal stuff, especially if you have any video production and want a filmic/cinematic look and feel - if you are filming action stuff, or live walking around, 60 could be argued for,

don't go for 60FPS, settle for 30fps for youtube filming, the difference in time it takes to render/upload 60fps video's isn't worth it.
