you're just getting started with video one of the difficult things to figure
out is what's the best option given all of the different cameras on the market
so I'm going to share my top 3 camera reviews so you can consider what's best
for you to help you get up and recording with video the first camera I recommend
is a webcam and I personally use the Logitech c920 I highly recommend webcams
when you're just starting out for a few reasons firstly they're relatively cheap
you can get one for around 50 to 100 US dollars a majority of webcams these days
are plug and play so you can open it from the box plug in the USB thing into
your computer and start recording straight away using free software such
as QuickTime Player or other easy to use software and relatively cheap such as
ScreenFlow and Camtasia the Logitech c920 clips on the top of your computer
easily it also has a thread that allows you to mount it to a tripod it delivers
beautiful HD video recording and is also a great camera to use for live-streaming
on Facebook as well let me show you how easy it is to record my face to camera
using the Logitech c920 so I have the Logitech c920 plugged into the USB port
of my computer then I open up QuickTime Player go to
file and new movie recording and I click on the little down arrow next to the
record button just to check that it is the Logitech that it's streaming from
and I can also choose the microphone that I want to choose as well I'm using
a rode NT USB microphone as opposed to the Logitech's on built microphone
because I don't find it that grade and then I click on the little record button
and this starts to record my video so I can easily plug in the Logitech c920
camera open up QuickTime Player choose the settings choose the microphone and I
can start recording directly into the camera and it's recording straight into
my computer and once I'm done with the video recording I can click on that
button again and now I have a video file that I can put into a video editing
software or this into a video editor in order to cut it up and use it for my
videos the second camera I recommend for recording video is your phone's camera I
have an iPhone and I prefer phones with a lighter screen because I find it
easier to navigate as opposed to struggling with the smaller screen and
the smaller buttons if you don't have an iPhone and I hear Android users any
phone will do ideally a phone that can record in HD which most Android and
iPhones do these days recording on your phone is as easy as mounting your phone
to a tripod or sylvie stick and positioning the phone so that its eye
level to you then attaching an external microphone to make sure you have the
best quality sound for your recording and then pressing the record button once
you've done that you can transfer the video to your computer for editing you
can also edit the video on your phone directly using apps such as movie Pro
the quality that you get from your phone these days is phenomenal the benefits of
using a phone camera is that it's portable and you can record on the go
and the fact that most people these days have a
so use what you've got my third camera review is a DSLR camera I recommend and
use the Canon a TD I love this camera and here's why
firstly the Canon a TD comes with the headphone and microphone socket so you
can plug in a microphone such as a rode shotgun or the smartlav+ to get amazing
quality sound it also has a flip screen so I can see myself when I'm recording
to make sure I'm in the shot properly and not off camera you can record
beautiful quality videos without too much tinkering and effort it also has a
lot of features and settings that I don't use but for recording videos you
can turn it on switch it to video mode check the sound settings check the color
balance and hit record I can then transfer the footage from the
memory card to my computer to be edited so there you have it my top 3 camera
