RE: The Best YouTube VLOGGING Camera? - Stepping up my game
DSLR's are great if you can only afford one camera.
But, for videos, there is a reason they still make camcorders. And there is a reason GoPros are popular. Personally, I use a Canon XA10 for my videos and have a Canon PowerShot for my photos. The PowerShot is very portable and actually has a good video camera built in for taking short videos. Not to muddle your decision.
How do think the Canon XA10 would work for vlogging style video where it will be turned to face the vlogger? There is a need for a nice wide angle (without much distortion) and the ability to focus short range. I like the rain video BTW :)
The Canon XA10 has a fairly good wide angle capture. I guess you would still be limited to how long your arm is. I don't do that often, but here is an example:
The rain video was taken with the PowerShot. It has a fairly rich color to it, but the microphone is limited.
