Trying to choose the best camera for recording video, especially for UA-cam? This video guide compares several different options: cell phones, webcams, camcorders, DSLRs, and Mirrorless cameras. Learn more about video cameras and recording quality today!
Based on my testing I recommend the Panasonic G7 for the average user: amzn.to/2J8DcZq
For higher quality, I’d recommend the Panasonic G85 Mirrorless camera: amzn.to/2m6nwwG
I summarize the results of my side by side video tests comparing video detail, color accuracy, features, ease of use, and overall quality under different lighting conditions. This will help you choose a camera that will work for you whether it's for vlogging, gaming, or onsite video in 1080p or 4K! I even give recommendations for $50, $500, and $1,000. I’ll go over the criteria I looked for in a camera along with pros and cons of each option. Finally, I’ll tell you the best options and provide recommendations at each price point.

Rule of thirds... absolutely missing :-)

Hey bud great review. I use my I phone 7plus for my channel and it gets the job done. However, I also have a canon rebel T6. Would it be with trying to use that for my channel? Are there any benefits over the phone for my type of channel? I’m one of the gun channels. Thx

[@Compulsion84]

Honestly I would do a couple detail oriented side by side tests with both cameras. I'm not familiar enough with that rebel compared to the iPhone. You may have similar qualities, but easier workflow / framing with the rebel. I would likely just try it for a video or two.

[@baconsuds6688]
