Best Video Camera for YouTube
What’s the best video camera for YouTube?
Hey you’re watching Matt TV where we help you create the business and lifestyle you
deserve. Honestly, having a great video camera won’t, I repeat won’t make your videos
awesome and spreadable. I’ve seen shoddy video’s go viral, while professional HD
Video fail. The secret is creating useful world class content, for more fine details
on this check out my “How to make a good video” in the description below.
So what is the best video camera?
The camera you choose really depends on your budget, I currently shoot on a DLSR Canon
5D Markii a $5000 camera. The only reason I have such an expensive camera is that my
wife is a photographer.
I have two camera recommendations
Budget: iphone 5 Already in your pocket, easy to use and films
in 1080p HD-that’s great film quality for such a small device. To get the best results,
use the app FiLMiC Pro-4x zoom and full control over, focus and exposure, white balance and
frame rates.
If you can afford it: The Canon 60D Records high definition, movie quality video
with 1080p recording. The canon 60D allows you to adjust the aperture, ISO and frame
rates to achieve the best quality HD video (all to do with the image and light quality).
With a DLSR you have the advantage of interchangeable lenses, making it easy to have a variety of
different shots and effects (at the moment I’m using a 50mm which is the closest thing
to real life) You also have an external microphone jack, this allow you to input a microphone
giving you greater audio quality.
Before purchasing a camera online “it’s cheaper” go into a camera retail store,
and try out a few cameras, how does it feel? What do features do you like? And what is
your budget? The canon 60D is a great camera, but if something may just work better for
you-please try before you buy..
What camera do you currently film on or what are you looking at purchasing? I’d love
to hear from you, so please leave a comment below.
