1080p Camera

[Kingjames0202]

I am looking for a nice budget 1080p camera for my YouTube videos. I want the ability to do different things with my camera. But with my webcam i'm limited as well as it has this odd delay that just makes some things look slow.

Budget?

[Kingjames0202]

$120 or less. I'm not sure if there are 1080p cams for $120 or less.

I'd say up your budget, or get something like a Galaxy S6 used on ebay which can shoot up to 4k with decent quality

not sure what to recommend then, looking through camcorders on amazon.com right now. (i assume you want a portable video camera)

 

take a look at something like the Hausbell HDV-5052

 

it seems at that price point you can't expect to get a brand name camcorder.

 

the closest to your budget i found was the Sony HDRCX405 for $150 used. 

 

you might get brand name (canon, nikon) point & shoots at around $120 that can do 1080p video. dunno how usable they are in video recording mode tho.

most point & shoots only do 30fps for example. 

 

depending on what type of videos you want to make, a gopro style action cam might be more suitable.

 

they usually have a wide angle fisheye lens tho and no optical zoom (fixed focus even) but almost all of them can do 1080p 60fps and are at least decent in low light or artificial light conditions (where most cheap camcorders and point & shoot cameras perform horrible)
