Starting YouTube content creation: what cameras should you consider?

Introduction

YouTube is the world's largest video platform and it's growing rapidly. It now has over 1 billion active users and more than 100 hours of video are uploaded every minute. But how do you stand out from the crowd? Here are some tips on how to get started on YouTube:


Best starter camera for YouTube content creators

  • Best starter camera for YouTube content creators

The first question that you need to ask yourself is what type of content you want to create. For example, if it's a vlog or walkthrough video with lots of chatting and commentary, then the Canon EOS M50 would be great for this. If on the other hand, your focus is on professional photography or videography that requires high quality footage then Canon or Sony cameras are probably the way forward.

If all you have access to at home is an iPhone XS Max then this will suit fine (and even better if there's an iPhone XR nearby). However if you're planning on investing in a new camera body then we recommend either getting something cheap but good enough quality like a Nikon D3400 or Sony A6000/A6500 combo kit which both offer excellent value-for-money when compared against more expensive models like Nikon D500s which costs over $2k but lacks some features found within lower priced options such as autofocus speeds being slower than some point & shoot models while also costing three times more than these two options combined!





Fujifilm X-T3

The Fujifilm X-T3 is a great choice for YouTube content creation. It’s a DSLR camera that has a 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and the ability to shoot up to 10 fps in burst mode with its X Processor Pro (up to 9 fps).


The high ISO performance of this camera makes it ideal for shooting video in low light conditions, while its hybrid OIS system helps keep your footage steady when you’re panning across subjects or tracking moving objects.

Pros: Great quality pictures/video; large screen; good battery life; easy controls

Cons: No built-in flash.



Nikon Z6

The Nikon Z6 is a great camera for YouTube video creators. It has 4K video recording and the ability to shoot slow-motion videos at up to 120 frames per second. The flip-up touchscreen makes it easy to switch between shooting modes or mode dials, while the 24.5MP sensor gives you more than enough detail for your projects.


The price tag on this camera isn't cheap though; it costs $1,300! But if you're looking for something with interchangeable lenses (and don't mind shelling out some cash), then this could be worth considering as one of your options when choosing which model will suit your needs best.



Sony a6300

The Sony a6300 is a great camera to start with, because it comes with some of the most important features for capturing YouTube content. It has 4K video recording and 5-axis image stabilization, which means that you can get stable recordings even when you're moving. It also has 24.2MP APS-C sensor (that's higher than most other cameras), as well as 693 phase detection AF points—so it'll be able to focus quickly on whatever you want to shoot with its fast auto focus system!


The only downside of this camera is that it doesn't have any built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. However, if you're looking for more advanced features like GPS tracking or remote shooting capabilities (which are not available on this model), then consider getting yourself an additional external flash unit instead of using its internal flash unit; this will help improve your quality levels even further by improving how much light gets into your videos while also reducing battery drain caused by constant use during filming sessions due to insufficient lighting sources being present inside the body itself."




Canon EOS R

The Canon EOS R is the latest camera from Canon, and it's certainly not the cheapest option on this list. But if you're looking for a small format camera with top-of-the-line specifications and features, this may be your best option.


The 24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor lets you capture high resolution photos and videos in both RAW format as well as JPEG files at up to 100 Mbit/s (equivalent). This allows users to customize their images according to their own needs while also saving space on their memory cards or hard drives at home or work if they don't need all those extra megabytes right away (which is what happened when I took these pictures).


The Dual Pixel CMOS AF system allows autofocus during video recording so that your subject stays sharp throughout each frame without having any missed shots due to poor tracking accuracy by default off brand name cameras like Sony or Nikon which tend towards much slower speeds when compared side by side against each other during live action scenarios where quick response time matters most - especially since we often shoot fast moving objects such as sportsmen jumping over hurdles etcetera!





Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ2500

If you are looking for the best camera to buy, then this is the one. The Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ2500 has a 24.1MP 1" MOS sensor and can shoot at 24-480mm f/2.8-5.9 Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens which means it can capture wide angle shots as well as zoomed in ones without any distortion or loss in quality due to its 4K video recording capability at 30/25p frame rates; this makes it perfect for creating content on YouTube!

Pros:

  • Great battery life - With its built-in Lithium Ion Battery that offers up to 850 photographs per charge (with LCD Display), this camera will last longer than most other models on the market today due to its extended run time between charges when compared with other cameras like Canon 5D Mark III which only lasts 300+ shots before needing another charge!

Nikon J5

The Nikon J5 is one of the best cameras for beginners to use. It's easy to use and has great image quality, which is important if you want your videos to look good on YouTube. The battery life is also good so you can use your camera without worrying about it dying before you finish filming or editing what you've already filmed.


The autofocus works well when recording video too - which means that people won't notice any lag in how quickly their video appears on screen (as opposed to some other cameras). The build quality is also excellent as it feels like something that would last forever!




Conclusion

The Canon EOS R is an ideal camera for shooting video on YouTube. It has a large sensor, great noise reduction and autofocus features that make it easy to capture video at high speed without the need for manual adjustments afterwards. The Nikon J5 is another great option as it has multiple focusing options including spot or continuous focus so even if your subject moves around in front of you they'll still be in focus behind them too!
