Bask in the limelight: these are the best cameras for vlogging.
Image: GoPro
So you want to be a vlogger. First, a pop quiz:
Which came first, the video or the camera? This is not a trick question.
The camera, duh! Which means if you want to create dope videos that will have the whole world interested in what you do or say, you should start with the right piece of recording equipment.

Sure, everyone has a pretty good camera on their smartphone. But as more people flock to YouTube to upload their latestiCapturedshenanigans, you have to invest in the right camera if you want to be a shot above the rest — and a legitimate vlogger.
How do you know which camera to choose to help make your vlog (video blog) pop? We’ll tell you! But first, we’ll key you in on which camera features to look out for as well as which ones don’t really matter.
Features you should care about:
Video Quality: Pay attention to video resolution. You’ll see 720p, 1080p, and 4K in most descriptions for camcorders these days. They pretty much equate to HD ready, Full HD, and Ultra HD – each a little better than the last.
Built-In Wi-Fi: Video editing alone can take a bit of time. Finding a camera with built-in Wi-Fi can save you a step as your vids can automatically appear on your smartphone or PC. Otherwise, you’ll have to connect a USB cable and wait for the file to transfer. Yawn.
Microphone Input: Video quality may get your viewers through the door, but great sound will help keep them there. There isn’t a camera out there without a built-in mic. But for even better quality sound, choose a camera that lets you connect an external mic so you can always upgrade Without that port you’re stuck.
Stabilization: Some vloggers just sit in their bedroom and talk to camera – which is fine. But if you want to record videos beyond that you’ll want to search for a camera that has built-in optical image stabilization. It’ll help ensure that your videos come out smooth no matter what activity you’re doing. You’ll also want to buy a tripod if the camera you choose doesn’t come with one. Amazon has great set-ups at pretty decent prices on those as well.
Features you shouldn’t care about:
Zoom: You don’t actually need a camera with impeccable zoom unless you’re a travel blogger. Zoom is just one of those things that’s nice to have for photography, but for video you’ll probably just be shooting yourself relatively close-up.
Flash: To get the best quality video possible, you’ll want to shoot in well-lit environments. Some cameras do have night vision, but how often do you really need that? Amazon has several lighting bundles that can help illuminate your space, and many are pretty decently priced.
Megapixels: If you aren’t really concerned about shooting photographs, Megapixels don’t really matter.
Now that you know which features to keep an eye out for, and which ones don’t really matter, we’ll suggest a few cameras that we think will take your vlogging game to the next level.
Best cameras for vlogging:
GoPro HERO 5 Black — $399
The GoPro HERO is a favorite for on-the-go shooting.
Image: GoPro
The HERO 5 Black by GoPro tries to balance performance and convenience with its 4K video, voice control, touch display, and waterproof design. With the QuikStories app, the HERO5 Black can automatically send your footage to your phone where you can transform your latest viral creations. Stabilization is really important when it comes to shooting moving video, and the HERO5 Black is up to the task, whether it’s handheld or mounted to your gear. When you’re done shooting, you can set the HERO5 to auto upload everything to the cloud with GoPro Plus, a subscription service offered by the company.
If you want to film your underwater vacations, then this is also an excellent choice: this GoPro is waterproof up to 33 feet. You can also enjoy hands-free control of your camera using simple voice commands, or you can press the shutter button to turn the camera on and start recording automatically. You’ll just need to buy your own microSD card.
Though priced at $399, we’ve seen this drop down to $249.

Hero5 – $399
Canon PowerShot SX730 HS — $399
The Canon PowerShot even has a Smooth Skin effect like Snapchat.
Image: Canon
The PowerShot SX730 HS has a large 3-inch tilt screen so you can see yourself when you’re recording, which you’ll definitely want.
You can capture a subject near, far, and in-between with a 40x Optical Zoom — not that you need that every day, but it could be nice to have. There’s even a Smooth Skin effect that’s available in all modes to help enhance your natural features, kinda like Snapchat does but better quality. With this camera you can share your videos straight away using the built-in Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi technology, another useful feature you should always check for. Wi-Fi features will be especially helpful if you plan to upload your vlogs to YouTube. The site can automatically sync with many modern cameras, saving you a step.
The camera doesn’t feature a touchscreen, but that shouldn’t be a dealbreaker.

Canon PowerShot – $399
Nikon D5300 24.2 MP CMOS — $528
In Live View, Nikon’s autofocus will follow your subject, keeping it sharp.
Image: Nikon
D5300 is Nikon’s first DSLR with built-in Wi-Fi, which makes it super easy to share your pictures on the go. You get all the image quality that Nikon’s photos have, like softly blurred backgrounds, tack-sharp details, and vibrant colors, but in dazzling 1080p full HD videos.
If you like to shoot sports or action, this camera shoots up to 60 frames per second so you should get smooth video playback. There is even a fun effects mode that allows you to apply special effects to video in real time as you’re recording. In Live View, Nikon’s autofocus will follow your subject, keeping it sharp. You can even swivel the flip screen around so you can shoot video from new angles.
Some people might put up with low-quality video, but bad sound quality is the ultimate worst. That’s why this Nikon it great. You can attach a ME-1 stereo microphone so you can get the highest quality sound possible. Amazon customers love it, giving it 4.6 out of 5 stars, so odds are you’ll like it too. Currently, you can get the best deal on Amazon, but it’s selling fast. Once sold out, you can find it here.

Vixia HF R800 – $528
Canon EOS Rebel T5i — $799
The Canon Rebel’s professional HD Movie Mode will make you feel legit.
Image: Canon
What this camera lacks in specs, it sure does make up for in features and image quality. The Canon Rebel T5i camera comes with a vari-angle LCD that’s perfect for framing yourself while vlogging, or getting yourself into focus when shooting alone. The Canon Rebel T5i may not shoot in 4K like some its competitors, but what it does have is world-class color reproduction made possible by Canon Color Science.
In addition to the color, the EOS Rebel T5i has some significant new technologies to make HD video capturing smoother, faster, and more comfortable. The Movie Servo AF feature helps ensure sharp focus even during unpredictable movements. And the wide area 9-point auto-focus system is said to deliver consistent focus on moving objects. Oh, and the Canon Rebel series is also known for impeccable photo quality — so there’s always that.
Though priced at $799, we’ve seen Amazon knock as much as $200 off the price.

Canon Rebel – $799
Sony a5100 — $548
This Sony camera has a slim profile and is about half the weight of a typical DSLR
Image: Sony
If you want something better than a point and shoot, but less bulky than a DSLR camera, then this mirrorless option by Sony might be the one you need. The SONY a5100 allows you to use interchangeable lenses, giving you greater video versatility without having to carry around bulky equipment.
This Sony cam has a slim profile and is about half the weight of a typical DSLR. It comes with a 16-50mm lens — the norm on most cameras because its the most versatile. Unlike DSLR cameras though, most mirrorless cameras don’t have a separate focus ring to control your focus area. Instead, you’ll have to focus using the on-screen menus manually. The AF (auto focus) speed is ultra-fast on this camera at 0.07 seconds, so you never miss a moment. Like many others on the list, it has a 180-degree tilt screen so you can take perfectly framed selfie videos.

Sony a5100 – $548
PANASONIC LUMIX G7 4K — $799
The Lumix by Panasonic is packed with features like intelligent-focusing and creative controls.
Image: PANASONIC
You might want to consider this mirrorless option by Panasonic because it shoots 4K video and offers over 24 compact lens options. Because it’s a mirrorless, it has a lighter body than traditional DSLRs, but it’s packed with features like intelligent-focusing and creative controls. This is a great, compact camera that’s easy to just keep in your bag at all times. The Lumix was designed for those who want a camera that’s versatile enough to shoot high-res videos and photos yet rugged enough to take anywhere.
The precise AF tracks the color, size, and motion of your subject, which is probably going to be you, so you can shoot with confidence without worrying about blurry results. Plus, the tilt/swivel touch-display lets you further adjust the screen for optimum clarity. We’ve seen this Amazon’s Choice camera on sale for 25% off, so keep an eye out.

Lumix G7 – $799
SONY AX33 4K Handycam — $748
The Sony AX33 handycam uses infrared light to capture subjects even in complete darkness.
Image: SONY
The Sony AX33 4K Handycamhas so many features to drool over. Besides producing 4K video, this camera also has excellent stabilization that Sony calls Balanced Optical SteadyShot. If you’re recording action videos without a tripod this is going to help to make your footage a lot more clean. The AX33 also has something called My Voice Canceling capabilities, so it can reduce the intensity of behind-camera sounds. And the built-in USB cable is stowed in the hand strap, making it convenient for extra-quick charging or connection to your laptop.
The camera comes with a 3-inch LCD touchscreen, letting you compose a shot more easily while enabling you to adjust the settings. And as far as sound goes, this camera captures it from all directions. Plus, there’s built-in Wi-Fi so you can easily share your moments whenever you want. If you’re dying to use night vision, this choice has NightShot, a feature that uses infrared light to capture subjects even in complete darkness.
Image: Sony
Sony AX33 – $748
Canon VIXIA HF R800 — $249.99
The Canon Vixia HF R800 camcorder has an impressive 57x zoom.
Image: Canon
Of course, the defining characteristic of any video camera is how high the video quality is. Not only will this one shoot 1080p, but we’ve seen it on sale for only $219. (Full price is $249.99.)
The Canon Vixia HF R800 camcorder has a 57x zoom (we doubt you’ll ever need that much, but it adds to the value). You can enjoy optical image stabilization to reduce camera shake, a 3-inch color touch-screen LCD, and instant autofocus to help eliminate blurry images.
What you don’t get is onboard memory storage or Wi-Fi connectivity. But any SD card can eliminate those concerns. The Vixia has long battery life and features intelligent technology that can accurately let you know how much battery life is remaining, so you don’t miss a vital recording opportunity.

A friend of mine & I have signed up for Daisy Yellow's Tiny Museum online class daisyyellow.squarespace.com/tiny-museum/04-tiny-museum-tr...
After a month of online classes in our basement, our son finally got to get on campus!!! Truly, he transformed before our eyes. He became someone we haven't seen in months and months... it was like a burden fell from his shoulders.
In some ways I am so sad to have launched our firstborn and not have him home with us, improving on the piano, making popcorn at 2:00am, playing games with his siblings; however, the fact that he is radiantly happy to be on campus with his peers is helping ease our sadness tremendously. We are so happy for him!!

wee3: Each time you use the viewfinder try to change something when you begin a new sketch. You can stay in a gray scale value if you would like. Or try adding another color to your sketch designs in ight to dark values. To bring in some texture to the sketch you can sand or crinkle some pages.
I'm giving away 2 spots on my "Mastering Twinks" online class, plus two sets of 6-sample pots of Twinkling H2O's. Hop on over to my blog for details...
Thank you, wonderful friends, for your kindness and patience as I struggled through this difficult school year. Glad to say that it is summer break and my online classes are complete. Mom continues to recover and do well from her knee surgery. Time to get back to Flickr!!!

online class on Exploring the head. . Looking and observing the skull and how the face is constructed. Lots of comparative measuring. It was only a short course, but really got me thinking
Over at StampNation I've joined the online class In The Mood. It's all about inspiration from Mood Boards. First one up inspired this card.
I used some chalk ink and a Couture Creations embossing folder to do a Letterpress technique. I used a Tim Holtz die, a Stampin' Up punch and a Martha Stewart punch to make my flowers and leaves. I used the same chalk ink to colour up some white card so I could stamp the Hero Arts sentiment.
I created this set of eye close-ups for my online class students. Although the techniques for eyes are very simple, eyes can be very difficult to get right. I worry less about perfection than I do about capturing the sparkle of life.

I think I would be considered a harpie, though I'm not sure if that carries a female-only connotation or not ;)

For our first assignment in Kim Klassen's online class "Beyond Layers" -- our assignment was to keep it simple. This was very difficult for me! I don't usually set up stills, so this was another challenge, but now I can see all kinds of opportunities to use the "stuff" that hangs out around our house. I used two layers of Kim's texture "awaken" both at soft light (100%). I also used a hue/saturation layer to tone down the colors in the candy hearts. Also stuck to my 2012 resolution to take new photos rather than search through the archives for something to use! :-)
My new online class is here! It's for artists and illustrators and I'll teach you how to differentiate yourself from the sea of other talents out there, how to build your presence effectively, how to self-promote fearlessly and how to make money from your art. Enrollment is until 8th September, and classes begin on 16th September! workartplay.com (illustration by Susanne Low)
