Recommendations for every price range in this video
Welcome to Video Influencers were here to help you build your influence
And your income with online video I'm Benji and I'm Sean today were gonna
Be talking about cameras a really popular question everybody wants to know
You know I'm ready to vlog but what camera I'm ready to make Youtube
Videos but what camera so were gonna answer that question right now
Thanks for so many of your questions we've seen them and we appreciate it
And always Tweet us or comment below with questions and hey in this episode
Well put some extra details and show notes of everything were talking about
In the Youtube description with these cameras Alright Benji the first camera talking
About vlogging and you're a prolific vlogger you and your wife now Judy have vlogged
For how many years Four five years now - how many days have you missed - Not
Very many So you have tons of vlogging experience you've used different cameras
And the first camera were talking about for Youtubers and vlogging is the what
Were talking about this the Canon ELPH 110 HS the Powershot now this is the
Thing lets back up before we even talk about the camera probably the most
Asked question in this question is whats the most affordable camera I can get
So this is the one we've used for years this is called the Canon Powershot ELPH 110 HS
And Sean you said that you could get this used for under a hundred dollars
On Amazon yeah And even back in the day we were buying it for a hundred
And fifty dollars this was our go to camera this was the workhorse we
Dropped it you know we took it around the world with us this thing gives
You HD its easy to use affordable and what I love about it is like you don't have
To think you turn on the camera you hit record and especially for someone
Like Judy who shes not really a technical person even though with all her
Experience she just wants to be able to hit a button and it records at its
Optimal level for the amateur for the beginner and this is the camera
That we used for years Yeah and I still think it's a great camera a couple of
Other features on there is this 24mm lens which means it's a good wide
Angle lens to hold on yourself some cameras they zoom in too far the other
Thing is that it has image stabilization there's a little IS on there and vloggings
All about hand held and you're walking you're driving and so that actually helps
The shot be smoother and so the Canon 110 HS and another one its just like
Is the Canon 300 HS Yeah that's the up to date one right Yeah it's a little bit
Newer the very newest one is not as good these to this day the time were
Shooting this video are still great options some of them are out of
Production but you can still pick that one up so the 110 HS the 300 HS
Alright lets talk about the second camera and this is what you guys are vlogging
With now the Canon S120 why do you like it
Alright so this is gonna be for those people that wanna spent a little more money
And wanna step up their quality and the thing that makes the biggest
Difference on this is a bigger lens okay still a good wide angle so that
You can get those close shots but it's a better lens it's a bigger lens
It's a touch screen you know but again like all these bells and whistles are great
But its another great reliable work horse of a camera that steps up kind
Of like the quality of the image that you get and what I really like about it
Is even though it is slightly bigger than the original we talked about earlier
But its small enough to fit in your pocket its small enough to fit in Judy's purse
So this is the one that we use to this day there are new versions of this
But we still use this and we will continue to buy this until we find something
Just as good on a note though this is something we haven't talked about
In fact its not something a lot of people think about the microphone
Is on the top of these cameras so what youre finding with a lot of cameras
Especially newer versions nowadays they'll put the microphone on the front
Because it makes sense what you're shooting is in front of you but with vloggers
You're talking behind the lens right you're talking to the back of the camera
So you have to be able to get good audio from behind and in front of
You so that's another thing that Ill point out that's on all these cameras
Good yeah make sure the mic is on top and then make sure that when
You film you don't put your finger over it Oh totally Because people will
Do that and then cover up the microphone Canon S120 also has a 24mm lens
So its also good and wide and it also has really great image stabilization so another
This might be the best all around camera also has wifi so you could take
Pictures for instagram when youre out there sync them right to your phone
So that's an awesome feature of that and then our final camera that were
Talking about is the Canon Powershot G7X now people are talking about this
All over Youtube Totally This is a majorly popular camera right now one
Big difference that it has its gonna be the S120 but with even better video
Yes even better in low light situations when its dark better lens yeah better
Lens more features but one of the most popular things about this is the
Fact that you can have the flip up screen that's huge and neither of these
Cameras have the flip up screen for when youre filming yourself and so
Daily vloggers are switching to this the ones that can afford it because
It is an expensive camera but they're switching to it because the
Quality you get out of it is just like light years ahead of these ones
Yeah absolutely and so when it comes to the affordability now
You can get this one for under 80 used on Amazon on Refurbished
You can get this one retails new like 350 now and again you can shop
That down used or look for a Refurbished deal this is 650 new
Right now at the time were shooting this video so that's way up
There and so my final recommendation and I think that we agree on this Sure
Talking about really the best like all around camera for Youtube right
Now for vlogging I think is the Canon S120 Oh totally yeah
One of the downsides with this is that its super expensive but it
Has some weaknesses Has some glitches The autofocus gets weaker over
Time and it's a little more fragile there's more parts to break where as
You guys just hammer this thing Hammer it And these two are very
Durable this one is a little more fragile so Don't forget the price
And the price Its accessible And if youre gonna protect your investment
You want something that's gonna last and be dependable for vlogging
So check out all three of these cameras research them well put extra
Show notes and links in the description below but if youre looking
For an all around if you can jump from a lower price range and
You need a camera to get started I think the Powershot S120 would be
