Why 24mm is Terrible For Vlogs

  • What's the best focal length for vlogging or filming yourself for youtube? A lot of people get stuck with 24mm on the wide end, because cameras like the Sony rx100IV and Canon G7Xii only go that wide. But it's not a great focal length for vlogging. Let's find out why together and test a bunch of different focal lengths using the Sony a9 with 16-35mm f2.8 gmaster lens, with special appearances from the Panasonic G85 with Mitakon 25mm f.0.95 with wide angle converter, and the beloved Sony x3000 ;)

      dude, you already have a top 5 video camera in the G85. Also you're wide angle converter made the mitakon a 23mm ff equivalent, but i guess it could of been about 26mm if it was exaggerating!! But your way off with your 38mm guess. And i must say, the video quality and softness is barely noticeable and just enhances the softening that you love with the mitakon. Honestly, you have probably the best bang for buck vlogging camera available. It actually has more features than some of its quadruple priced competitors. the G7/G85 is used by filmmakers all over the world to great effect. Have pride in your excellent decision making, stick with the G85, and maybe buy/rent some different glass for it. I think you'd be surprised just how good/usable the auto focus actually is.

    Yeah, the Sony X3000 is hard to beat for vlogging - small, light, stabilized, discreet, good audio plus external mic jack, and inexpensive. Only minor issues is the slight fish-eye look but more for your channel to see, and doesn't handle low light or sun over the shoulder very well. No blurry background but again gives your viewers something interesting to look at. Also hard to beat your Panasonic G85 for overall performance and price with the right lense. Kasey, I really really really ~ did I say really? highly rate your judgement and camera advice ~ keep them videos coming keep guilting all the camera manufacturers into getting their builds right with flippy screen etc...

    One point and one question -- (Point -- like my head): The X3000 has a great FOV for vlogging, but *everything* is in focus, from your nose hairs to the buildings way in the background. That "look" is better for action-cam footage (and the X3000 is really an action cam), than for vlogging (stabilization is very good also). (Question -- answer is not 42): Why do you live in Thailand?

    The 18-20 range does look good for this, though I know nothing about vlogging. Did like the 24 at arms length though because it feels a little less like invading your personal space. Maybe that’s just me; in life I don’t usually stand closer than arm’s length to someone (shy, farsighted or fear of pick-pocketers maybe). I would guess it is good to change up the focal lengths for variety. Interesting and funny vid, as always.
