The worst comparison I have seen. You are comparing a $100 camcorder to a $2000 kit dslr. That is not fair. That is misleading. When you buy a $2000 camcorder then you will the same quality videos and maybe better footage overall without having to change lenses and mess around with settings
You can get the background out of focus with a camcorder, especially one with a bigger censor like a Canon M50, just go back and zoom in all the way on the subject.
Travis Kraft solid point! I forgot to clarify that "higher end" camcorder do a lot more. I was speaking to budget camcorders VS. budget DSLRs mostly 👊🏼💥💯 Is there a "budget" camcorder with a larger sensor?
True but is you are in a small room, you cannot go back and zoom in. So depth of field, blurry background effects kinda looses in that case. But nowadays new 1k dollar camcorders get it done pretty well too.
@@Leprutz I have never used a video camera other than a GoPro (including camera apps on phones) where you can't adjust the focus forward of backward. Not all cameras have the same focal distance or focus speed/control capabilities, but you can almost always get the background or foreground out of focus if that's what you're going for. I wholly disagree with "you have no depth of field control on a camcorder", only on fixed-focus cameras.
@@NillKitty Than you most certainly haven,t used a lot of cameras. The focal length distances vary upon lenses you are using. So believe me when i tell you than older under 500$ dollar camcorder weren't very capable of that. Now do not understand me wrong: I never said that you couldn,t get any blurry image out of a camera like that. In fact it was very easy. But you had no easy control over it and the only thing that gave you some kind of depth of field was only some object in the foreground (at max 10 cm away from the lense) and it was slightly blurry and everything exceeding those 10 cm was already sharp as a double edged knife. Talking about consumer camcorders. Now prosmer camcorders was an entirely different thing. But now in a small room even in the open if your subject was at least one meter away no blurry background possible du to the lack of capabilities the lenses had. Plus camcorders are known not to have interchangeable lenses. So i must strongly disagree with you when we are talking about a somehow noticeable and prominent depth of field. Plus most theses incorporated lenses weren,t faster than some 5or 6 f stops. Some cameras though had some very good high iso capacity which made some lowlight shots quite acceptable.
I bought a Canon Vixia HR R800 just a couple months ago. I love it for recording disc golf. I've filmed a few tournaments with a Vixia HF G20 as well. For filming a sport, a camcorder is definitely the way to go when purchasing a camera. I've also used my HF R800 to test as a vlogging camera, and it works pretty well. Though like you said, it is pretty close up, and I'm going to get a wide angle lens to use on it. As for the audio, I got the Takstar SGC-598 to use with it as well. And like you said, it's nice to have the ability to use the external mic and have the headphone jack to monitor the audio on such a budget-friendly camera.
Hello; Thanks for this video. I believe we should use the DSLR for photos, Camcorder for video. Some pros in Camcorder i want to mention 1. Camcorders already comes with flip screen. 2. Video features like focus peaking, zebra. 3. ND Filters in some Camcorders. 4. Battery life way better with Camcorders. 5. Better built in microphone and built in preamp. 6. Better form factor, camera made for video in mind. 7. The new Camcorders comes with larger image sensors now, like 1", APC and Full Frame. 8. There is Camcorders with interchangeable lenses. 9. Better codecs. 10. Clean HDMI output, to use it with External Recorders. 11. No cropping, full pixels read out from the image sensor. I use Sony AX100 for video, Nikon D750 for Still. Thanks.
I have AX100 also. It is awesome. my main video shooting is sports. Great stabilization, Great Auto Focus, Built in ND Filters for outdoors. Big sensor for low light. Very happy with it. 1080 at 60fps. Manual controls. My only wish was 4K 60fps. Not a big deal though. 1080 is fine for sports.
Similarly I have the AX700, it's the best small (not so small compared to consumer camcorders however) camcorder I've ever held. For me I do trainspotting and bus spotting therefore I'm limited to how much stuff I can take with me. That thing literally has everything I in one package, I don't need any accessories apart from a microphone. In fact many of things he said in this video are only true on low end consumer camcorders and some higher end consumer camcorders.
@@lenmediastudio that's because they (DSLR advocates) often compare the cheap camcorders to a $500 to $1000+ DSLR.. not exactly what I'd call a fair fight...
There are big sensor camcorders, without record time limit, even interchangeable lens camcorders. For video, always a equivalent price camcorder is better than a DSLR
Canon 5Dii was used by many many many film makers, don’t think you can say that about the equivalent price camcorder, the 5D was out performing the highest quality film cameras that cost 10x more.
I own a Canon HF G30 camcorder. One thing about Canon camcorders is that they come with a small remote control. This is a real bonus feature to have when recording yourself. You can zoom in & out, and you can start & stop recording, all without having to get out of your chair. When you're recording elaborate selfie style videos with multiple "takes" and segments, it saves alot of time & hassle when you don't have to physically touch the camera to operate it.
I think a small-sensor camcorder makes the most sense for vlogging due to the deep depth of field. It reduces focus hunting, which is key if you're filming yourself. I'm not a vlogger or a camcorder owner, but I think I have a good idea of the tradeoffs. Instead, I love shooting other kinds of video on my Panasonic G85. It's great for filmmaking because you can blur out the background.
According to which type of you. If you're Photogtapher go for DSLR or mirrorless. If you're Videographer go for professional camcorder. It gives more dynamic range & more videography features. Why i'm said "professional" camcorder? It because "mini" camcorders are lack of features & quality. It's like prosumer & pocket cam in photography. And pro camcorder also used for TV broadcast and mini film series. If you're not in doubt with budget, you can go for Cinema camera.
Im torn on this also. I keep hearing that the DSLR is preferred but I feel that a camcorder will work better for the motorsports type filming that I do.
@@GrimRZR DSLR and mirrorless cameras aren't good for all applications. for live event coverage and sports, i'd definitely recommend a camcorder. the higher end camcorders are amazing! apples and oranges are being compared in this video.. a $250 camcorder to a $700 DSLR. The camcorders I'm interested in put my mirrorless camera to shame
@@carolinawest7001 I'm interested in a couple of different ones. I'll most likely upgrade to the Canon EOS M6 mark II unless there's a newer model by the time I upgrade :) I currently have the EOS M100
Great educational thesis on the camcorder/DSLR variances. From my vantage point, dslrs are more trouble than they are worth for a lot of people making youtube clips. The pros and cons are brilliantly enumerated and I would underscore the great import of dslr's record-time brevity, but also sound acquisition inefficacy. This is crucial. Finally, it is also pertinent to stress that dslr is more desirable for image-obsessed shooters striving for the cinema big picture; which is irrelevant for most youtube video makers. I shoot with sony vg 900 and vg30 with a multitude of lenses, so I understand the obsession. A camcorder is infinitely more viable for any number of obvious reasons.
I'm still using my old Nikkon D3100 so there is no screen facing me when recording myself. One trick that has worked a little bit for me is to place the chair a little forward from where I want to sit, hold down the camera focus button with myself out of the shot, and then go sit in the chair and slide it back a foot or so since my head when seated is further forward than the seat back that i used for the focus. It works pretty well when I remember to do it!
Hello. To solve this problem, install qdslrdshborad software on mobile. And connect the camera to the mobile phone with a cable and take a video of yourself. Good luck
Definitely camcorder. I vlog, but most of my content includes yoga classes that are at least 45min to 1hr 30min. The long record times and consistent focus are essential when I’m moving around, teaching and of paying attention to record time restrictions on a DSLR.
Half of those cons only really apply to the cheaper camcorders. I have a vixia hf g21 that does really well with that. Camcorders also are much friendlier with zoom controllers. Which is an essential piece of equipment for self filming in certain scenarios like hunting.
I appreciate your comments on the two types of video choices. I love a camcorder. It's fast and easy, but for doing professional recordings, there is something to be said for a DSLR. Again, you have to ask yourself about the use, and what is most important for your functions.
I love my camcorder! I use a wide angle attachment lens. Mine was only abt $175 new (abt 3 years ago). The zoom is amazing. I love that I can monitor my audio with headphone. I use my iphone for other types of filming and get great footage. I want to get a Go Pro next. Definitely don't want to vlog or film with a heavy DSLR. Only for stills but I probably won't invest in one - at least for a long time
Awesome video! helped me gain some clarity. But maybe I can ask for some advice still from you? It's a long one...but detailed...I'd really love some help 🙂🙂🙂 I've been using 1 G7x Mark 1 & 3 SJ4000 action cams for about 2 years now The canon does great in low light, however, the battery life and recording limit is horrible and I need something with longer record time because I can't interrupt my drumming to change batteries/start another recording and it doesn't start another video file after another (though I'm told some DSLRs and point & shoots Do start another file after 4GB--which I'm fine with) Reason for my purchase: 1 of my SJcams broke a few weeks ago. At first, I thought I should just get another action camera, then I thought maybe a point & shoot, then DSLR, now camcorder...basically, I have no idea lol If I find something that meets all my needs, I would probably end up getting 1 or 2 more of those cameras in the future to match the quality, BUT I don't really want another G7x Mark 1 OR 2 because it only shoots videos up to 16 mins in 1080p60fps and 30 mins in lower resolutions.....I need a lot longer video recording than that. One stipulation is that my studio is virtually pitch black when I record. Aside from the 2 Neewer 176 LED lights I use pointed on me and my drums. There is no other light source in my studio (ceiling lights are turned off) ^^^ I've researched and learned that action cams don't do well in low light and adding more light can even make a bad camera better and is probably my best option, but I also wanna keep that "infinite black background" look. So I may be getting 2 more of those Neewer lights and have 1 on each corner of my drum rug, but not if that will take away the black background look. What do you recommend? Action camera? DSLR? Point & shoot? Camcorder? BIG NOTE: This camera is strictly for video recording! Since I already have a g7x, I can get great pictures and I don't need something for that. I don't plan on selling my g7x because I probably won't get much for it in 2018. --------------------------------------------------- MY STUDIO: 1. Black background all around my walls. 2. No ceiling lights on. 3. 2 Neewer 176 LED lights on myself and my drums at roughly 15-25% brightness (basically pitch black) 4. Drums --- so there are reflective surfaces in terms of lighting. I DON'T NEED: 1. Great Audio quality --- I get that edited 2. Stabilization --- they'll be mounted on either a tripod or a boom mic stand. 3. 4k --- I think 1080p60fps is enough for me to get a cool slo-mo effect (I could be wrong tho) I DO NEED: 1. Price --- $300-$500 USD (Since I may need to get 2 or even 3 more of whatever camera I choose) 2. Video Quality --- GREAT video quality in super low light with a pretty good Color Profile (Little to no Grain/Noise) 3. Record Time --- NEEDS to be able to shoot video for 30+ minutes ^^^Bonus if it can record while charging. 4. Settings --- Adjustable settings (WB, ISO, Exposure, etc) 5. Ease of Use -- Easy to use & easy to get my footage off the camera --- I prefer just plugging my SD cards straight into my laptop the "old-fashioned" way. 6. Auto-Focus --- I'd like to have continuous auto-focus for that price range (Drumming means my arms are flailing around) ***#2, 3 & 4 are must-haves. SOME OPTIONS: Action cams --> DSLR/Point & shoot --> Camcorder 1. Yi Lite --- Should be coming in the mail tomorrow 2. Yi-4k --- Should be coming in the mail tomorrow 3. SJ7 Star --- haven't ordered. 4. Canon EOS M50 5. Canon EOS Rebel T4i / T5i / T6 6. Canon EOS Rebel SL2 7. Panasonic Lumix LX10 8. Panasonic Lumix G7 4k 9. Panasonic G85 (I'm told this has no video recording limit) 10. Panasonic GX85 (I'm told this records multiple files once it hits 4GB - which I'm ok with) 11. Sony Handycam CX405 12. Canon Vixia HF R72 Camcorder (But there are many more that I have to research on) Is the SL2 the camera for me? Or the G7? Or G85/GX85? Or a camcorder? Or even just an action camera? 🤔 I'd really appreciate some help with this. I'm not a photographer/videographer by any means.. This stuff is confusing lol Thank you in advance.
I just returned the best GoPro out. The 7 Black. I was trying to find a camera to do it all. VLOG inside and capture audio and video outside. The GoPro is a good action camera but just can’t do it all.
Awesome video! I have a Canon G7x Mark 2, a Canon 70D DSLR, and today, I just picked up a Sony FDR-AX53... looking forward to using it... I have a family-oriented youtube channel and I have so much to learn about improving my footage quality... thanks for the information... very helpful for me 👍
Hey Sean: great video with really, really helpful tips for new TH-camrs. As you've stated before, just get started. I'm still shooting on a Panasonic FZ150; it's definitely limited because I have to have it on manual focus. But the tip: take lots of still photos is great - that's not something I've been doing, but I will now. My daughter Scout, says she likes your posters in your office and she likes your voice. All the best, Cheers Rick
furulevi ur right,i tried the canon g7x ,when its using its auto focus i hear on playback recording the grainy sounds or crakling sounds ,its the motor that autofocus mechanism your hearing.
boy panot I have many cameras also g7x mark 2... yup u can hear zooming in all of them... in my opinion its best to record with smartphones. I have video comparisons on many camera vs. phones... g7x VS Iphone, Galaxy s9 VS Canon m50, etc... smartphones better overall... faster auto focus, no zooming noise, built in audio way better, can charge while recording, no extra baggage to carry or move around, low lighting much better etc etc!
I think both is best. With a fixed position and good lighting to do car repair stuff, for instance, I think a camcorder is best because usually you're not doing anything artsy and it sucks to bring a part close to the camera to show the detail and have it go blurry. But then for going to a car meet or perhaps making that artsy film, the DSLR is good. So it kind of depends on what KIND of video you're making.
I have used booth DSLR and Camcorders for video Coming from a Media Background for over 30+ Years camcorders are a better fit for my workflow as most of my projects are long like 2hrs plus most times camcorders are designed for video and no rec time limit etc and better audio etc i currently shoot using 2 JVC Streaming Camcorders when i can stream live to either facebook or youtube without any need of additional software cameras i currently use Cannon 70D JVC GY-HM250 and JVC-HC500U
Great info, Sean. However, I'd like to point out a few things: 1. I honestly think that you can get more bang for your budget by going Canon's refurbished route. You could get an HF R 600 and an ELPH 330 (or their more current iterations) for $200 combined. Thus, you'd get good videos and stills so you could spend money elsewhere; 2. many DSLRs don't have audio jacks, whereas the R600 does; 3. for about $500, you could get those two cameras, a Zoom H1n, a Neewer camera cage, a sturdy but budget-friendly Ravelli tripod for the R600, an Amazon tripod for the ELPH, and a lower-end Audio Technica shotgun. Therefore, you'd have a decent two-camera setup with decent sound for about the price of a lower-end DSLR that may not have a mic input.
Ronald Malcolm all great points and unbeatable when taking price. However, for image quality, DOF... Etc. - DSLR perform better. I don't think there is a definitive right answer ... I think it depends on each persons needs and budget. 👊🏼💥💯
I was using my Canon 6D Mark II (that I just love) + Elgato CAM LINK 4K to Live Streaming public events and not having a clean HDMI output was killing me. At the end I moved to Canon VIXIA HF R800 and it is just perfect to what I am doing.
Tampatec right on! I like my camcorder(Sony jp540) under low light is not that great but, 60fps and that fluid eye(balanced optical steady shot) technology is great makes the video a lot more stable when walking. Also dslr cameras are not as comfortable in the hands when shooting a long video.
MarkusPix is a professional photographer and fairly new to youtube, he swears by camcorders for longevity and dependability. Hes got some awesome content
4 years later.....but still great content, well done, most appreciated. Thank you. With the accessories now, digital camers appear the winner over all. But I'm thinking a refurbished camcorder in the kit bag wouldn't hurt.
I've been doing a ton of research on this lately. I've had a Canon T5i & T3i with an assortment of decent lenses, but have always struggled with them. My video quality sucks because they frustrate me for what I do (outdoors videos). Today's camcorders just end the comparison for me. The new crop is coming with DSLR-like settings in-camera + have all the benefits of uninterrupted recording as long as your batteries last, longer run time on the batteries, constant focus zoomed in or out and 4K with pretty much matching DSLR quality in dollar for dollar comparisons (for example, $800 DSLR vs $800 Camcorder). It's pretty much a no-brainer for people who don't need Bokeh in their video or extreme low light performance (even though the new camcorders are coming up in that department too). I need, prefer and want deep depth of field (the opposite of Bokeh) with almost everything in focus. I shoot outdoors in the day time. Low light performance is not a concern for me. And, I'm shooting videos, not taking pictures. So, I have a 2018 Panasonic VX1K on it's way to me tomorrow with beautiful 4K and an assortment of DSLR-like adjustments that will give me the flexibility of both. As for sensor size, not as important for video vs photography. Today, phones are taking pictures about as good as cameras so in my opinion, for the non-professional who doesn't need to create artistic imagery and just wants long run times from a camera that they don't have to worry about overheating and stopping work just to wait for it to cool down and who still want clear sharp nice color footage, the modern day upper level camcorder is killin' it right now. It's to the point these days that you literally have to post footage side by side to compare the two and then look with a magnifying glass for the differences that the average TH-cam viewer would never in a million years either notice or even care. I'd LOVE to see some good camcorder reviews because in my opinion, for 90% of TH-camrs, camcorders (the new ones + the prosumer camcorders) are the best choice. Turn on, stage your shot, done. More content in less time, less fidgeting with adjustments and far less time in post. People need to know that DSLR are designed for photography primarily. This is why it takes so much more work to extract good video from them where camcorders are designed for video primarily. It's like taking an economy car to use for construction work or commuting with a work truck. While you can do both with either, the economy car is obviously the better vehicle for commuting and the work truck is obviously the better vehicle for construction. JMHO
Or, put another way; DSLR if you want to take 3 hours to shoot a 15 minute video and Camcorder if you want to take 15 minutes to shoot a 15 minute video! 😂
You assume all camcorders are crap and don't have manual controls. Sony has some good higher-end camcorders. I love using my Sony AX53. It's not perfect for everything, but it can do a lot very good.
I purchased a Sony AX53 camcorder... I highly recommend it. It's phenomenal. It has a focus ring btw, so you don't need a DSLR to get the blurry background effect.
Great advice! We CrossFit, so typically use a GoPro for the action shots. We also bring our Sony a6000 with the kit zoom lens. Found that having a prime lens wasn't as useful as the kit lens when you don't have the space to "zoom" with your legs.
Hello, you are very right that DSRL cameras are much better. I have a Sony camcorder from 8 years ago, at that time the novelty was that they recorded at 1080 and I remember that the quality of 720 to 1080 was a big difference and it recorded very beautifully. I also had the canon vixia hr 60 camcorder in 2015 and I liked it a lot, but then I sold it. In 2016 I bought a canon powershot 720 compact camera and it is wonderful, super practical, has a great zoom and records very clearly in bright light conditions. In 2017 I bought a Nikon DSRL and in terms of depth of field and sensor it is much better. Now I found the canon vixia model hr800 camcorder and bought it on amazon. I have been testing it and I have 15 days in case I want to return it. Indeed, if you compare it with a DSRL camera, it does have many disadvantages. But it has other advantages such as that you can leave it connected for hours with its power cable, you can use it for vlogging or streaming for hours and you can put good lighting on it and it records very well. And in conditions of loading a DSRL to a camcorder, the difference in weight is huge. I try to look for all the positive side to the cameras. Maybe a camcorder doesn't work at all for depth of field in vlogin but it can serve you for other functions that maybe the DSRL can't serve you. The question is to look for the creative side for what each camera can serve you in a different situation and for that use them. I still don't know if I'm going to return it, but it has very nice things that a DSRL doesn't have. The more variety of equipment you have, the more versatility you can find at work or in your videos.
i used to use GoPros for my drum channel, but i just got a Canon 70D and start getting used to it.. haven't uploaded a video with the new cam though.. still learning.
I'm a budget guy and I currently shoot on a CANON VIXIA for some of my videos on my channel. I have a few cameras, but the VIXIA is my main shooter. If anyone wants examples of the look and quality, feel free to check it out.
I got a Canon Vixia RF700 camcorder based on one of your old vids. It's great overall but at night in low light I get loads of film grain even with the lights. I kinda want to get a DSLR now. The picture quality is freaking amazing. I still want to master this lighting thing though. I've only got the lighting near perfect once and it really brought down the film grain like 85%.
Hi Sean i moved away from camcorders to dslr firstly the canon 70d then the 90d but i have moved back to camcorders you can use a camcorder in manual mode and get blurry backgrounds i think you are giving camcorders a bad vibe man
A big issue for us was no mic connection on our Canon Rebel. Also sound quality is an issue since many cameras don't have a shotgun or focused mic, so connecting to sound is also an issue.
Definitely get the T6i. You can shoot video in AUTO mode to start out. Your arts and crafts will look better. Also, when you learn a bit, you can get a 24mm 2.8 STM lens or a 50mm 1.8.... Fairly cheap lenses that make close ups look just fantastic.
Camcorder for sure. Unlimited filming time, better at capturing the environment/set, easier to carry around and move around while filming, and you don't have issues with autofocus. Not sure why the other guy said dslr.
@@punkyagogo why would you need unlimited filming time for a music video? Most songs are between 3 and 5 minutes in length, and usually involve alot of cuts and clips. Dont get me wrong, I'm very much pro camcorder, but unless someone has the budget for a higher end camcorder, the dslr/mirrorless route would probably be the best way to go for the most cinematic look and feel.
Seedubya Tech What lens / settings are you using? Assuming full manual mode - 24 frames per second is perfect unless you need slo-mo then ramp it up to 60. Shutter speed should be as close to double as possible - so 24 fps should be a 50 on the shutter speed. Either judge lighting or go for auto ISO... then, for focus, if static, may I suggest focusing first - then when found focus, turn your autofocus off to stop it getting confused. If you are worried about it - whack your aperture to something like F16 or F18. This will sort many focus issues... but obviously you won't get that nice blurred depth of field. My disclaimer here is that you may want different shutter speeds and frame rates for different effects - but the shutter speed should be as close to double the frame rate as possible. Lighting is your friend, always, whether a pro kit or just natural light used well.Also, no shame in using auto or semi auto modes such as aperture priority while experimenting. And above all - don't sweat it - it's fun learning right. That's what I think anyway :) Good luck
I think the Camcorder is the better option to go for, if you want a longterm project. basically when you work for big productions you will not surely use auto focus, but you may alway do it manually. if I can give my advise about what to buy 1000% for sure I will go for camcorders. the brand doesn't really matter. Canon, Sony, or Panasonic. I basically use Sony or Panasonic product. Such (Sony HVR-HD1000U 1080i HDV) and (Panasonic HC-MDH2 AVCHD) the fact is when someone call you for a professional work, He expect you to have the right tools, Camcorder will provide more realism and more pro options, I also use DSLR but not alone for projects.
I prefer a video camera for shooting video. I know, my Panasonic GH-4 is the choice of a lot of videographers and does give a good image. However, it does not have XLR audio inputs and I use a zoom too often. If I need a video camera quickly, such as traveling down the road and see a moving train I want to shoot, I use a little (nearly pocket size) Panasonic VX-981 4k video camera...it takes me just a few seconds to turn it on (just swing open the video screen) and I'm shooting. My DSLR takes a while to get up and running, and it is not very forgiving should you forget something. If I am doing an interview, I use my Panasonic DVX-200, which is a large, professional video camera. It has professional audio inputs, a nice zoom, and a screen big enough to see what's going on and provide a lot of status indicators. I have a friend who shoots with a DSLR...when shooting, he puts together a whole rig that holds his camera, audio equipment and a large video monitor. He is more the cinematic type and wants the shallow depth of field that the GH-4 give shim. It takes him minutes to put his rig together. I do not use my DSLR for shooting video, period. I might if I kept my camera in a dedicated studio and had it always set up for shooting video. If DSLR's were so good, you'd see news people using them. Or them being used to shoot sporting events. When you look around, you'll see that just about all the pros use dedicated video cameras.
I've gotten burned by autofocus, auto white balance, auto exposure, etc., so I prefer the manual control of a DSLR (I primarily use a Canon T4i). I make DIY videos and nothing beats precise focus. Yes, I can switch to manual control on my Canon Vixia camcorder, but it's a lot harder; camcorders are designed for shooting home movies with auto-everything.
I have a vixia HF g10 and you can change to manual very easy. You can set one of the custom buttoms for manual or autofocus. Also it doesn't matter which camera you use. Its all about storytelling and i suck at it lol. Another thing is that he stated that the 60d has good autofocus for video. I dont think so, good auto focus with DSLRs came starting with the 70d not 60d.
DSLRs are good enough for fixed focus but for anything else, get a decent quality video camera. Make sure you get one that has an external mic jack. Anyone who is serious about making videos (as opposed to talking heads) still uses a dedicated video camera.
This is totally biased ! You are comparing an over 1000 $ dslr with a 300 $ or so camera ! Canon and Sony do carry top of the line video camera with 4k or more and in the same price range than dslr, and with interchangeable lenses, I am fed up of people telling kids this kind of bs.
Philippe Rostin You are correct, it is but the points are all there, in my opinion you can reach about the same quality with both if you know what you are doing, practice and mastering filming and editing techniques. Post edit color grading and correction, there is no need in buying something that will break your pocket book, each one is great, and of course its gonna be bias, check the video description, Tons of Amazon affiliate links, its all business..... not hating but its the truth....
7:10 Yup. Although, you can find entry level DSLRs (Canon Rebel, Nikon D, etc.) for less than $400, but I suspect folks that are in the market for entry level DSLRs for video are not going to invest the time to customize the video settings and would probably be best served with a $200 camcorder. Regardless, I think buying used is the way to go with any camera. Heck, I'd start filming videos with a smartphone a window and a desk lamp.
If you're even more budget strapped than that as a beginner, you can find camcorder knock offs for as low as $50-$60. These are not professional grade cameras but are generally as good or better than your cell phone a ta fraction of the price. Also a cheap enough investment that you won't feel you wasted money down the line when you upgrade to a better system. Assuming you even have to.
I still got something from this. Yea they are in diff price ranges, but hell tell you why youre paying more vs the other. Whixh fits your needs better, price isn't always the main factor.
Battery life, you didn't mention that, because some camcorders can attach a huge battery. Overheating is another not mentioned thing, outside in hot weather a camcorder never overheats, a DSLR or system camera can overheat very quickly.
Here you say DSLR is better for creators, but that camcorders are better for filming long videos like seminars and workshops. Well, as a crafter/artist - I don't need fancy blurred or bokeh backgrounds. My camera is trained on my hands and the project I'm creating the whole time. I used to use my phone to record and the videos looked like it. Now I use my sister's old Sony Handycam which is a camcorder and the picture is much better. So, do you think for "crafters" (I hate that term, really) who do LONG videos (1 or more hours, typically) that are mostly tutorials (aka "how to" seminars or workshops) where they just point the camera to table they're working on - do you think a camcorder is well-enough for that? TBH, I get tired of people doing a whole lot of extra stuff to their videos. It doesn't add value to me - and it doesn't change the actual value of the content having a cute trick shot here or there added in. All this random jump cutting and playing with settings gets really annoying - especially after you watch 30 different creators all doing it. It's the same with people who play music during their videos. The music is always too loud and it's always something cringey - taste in music is SO specific and subjective that I think it's better to have none than risk alienating the viewers. Anyway, this is about cameras - uhm, a beginning person probably won't have a "gear" or any other budget - let alone $1000 to spend on camera stuff for a new You Tube channel with ZERO subs and no idea of whether the channel will ever pay off. If my sis hadn't given me her old Handycam, I'd still be using my old cringey phone. If I had money to invest - TBH I would invest it in machines I want or need for crafting (3D printer, laser printer, cricut maker, laser cutting machine) over camera gear. If I were rich - of course, I would go all in and splurge on the camera set up and lighting and everything. Is there room to just use what you have and make the best of it while you're just starting or building a channel? You're "SEAN CANNELL" the celebrity, so of course you can afford whatever you think will help your channel (PRAISE GOD, and may you continue to grow and be richly blessed!!), but what were you using when you were just Pastor Sean and just starting out here? Or did you start out having all these options? I can't even get into lenses. For a "crafting" channel - are multiple lenses necessary? PS - as a Christian myself - I'm watching your videos because you believe in what I believe in - faith based excellence. I started my channel because I was just learning about crafting and didn't see a big representation of African American inspired crafts or African American women crafting. And I wanted to use my channel as a way to kind of inspire black women and also encourage Bible Study, home groups, or other Christian groups to tune in and join in. All we here about are Bible studies and book clubs. I've been an artist all my life, but never knew there was a "crafting" world out there. You Tube opened my eyes and from then on I wanted to just share what I create and encourage other believers to do the same - maybe open them up to a whole new world of connecting and creativity, too. Didn't have anything, but desire. Now that I see what other people are doing - I want to get to that level. But it takes creativity, time, and money. Right now I got two outta three - that's just where I'm at. You have great content so I'm trying to learn how to be successful in the space that I'm in right now using your insight and tips.
*Great video and just want to let you know I hit that like button, subscribed and turned on notifications for move videos from you. = : ) I have 2 DSLRs I have an Olympus OM-D E-M1 and a Nikon D3200, I also have a Canon XA25, I also have an Olympus Tough TG-870. personally I like to shoot videos on the XA25 however if I am vlogging I see no point in using the DSLR's or the XA25 two hundred and eighty dollars gets you a camera that has a flip screen with a wide angle lens that you take video with. However it's what you want to use the camera for that matters. = : )*
Hi. I also have a Nikon d3200, although the quality of the image is greater, it is very problematic to make blogs with a digital SLR camera. The comparisons DSLR vs. Camcorder always take as a starting point the basic camcorders and not the good ones, a good camcorder with a 1-inch sensor costs the same price as the body of a digital SLR and also, it records in 4k and they are much more versatile than a heavy DSLR.
WELL...now with the new 1" camcorders from Sony and Canon we get better "blurry background" and better video ergonomics. Eventually we will have camcorders with APS-C sensors...but 1" sensor is basically the same as a micro 4/3 so you'll be fine!
I love my mirrorless Panasonic G7. I've owned both before. When I was a noob with video, I would've preferred the camcorder because of its ease of use but as I got better I like DSLRs more because of the interchangeable lenses and the more creative you can get with them.
Which is more important camera or editing..I was planning to buy a dslr and edit on a phone or buy a digital camera and buy a laptop..which one should I do please help😫😫
Being Flor definitely editing also experience helps as well if you buy a DSLR and don't know how to use it or tweak the settings you won't get that amazing quality that was mentioned in the video , the thing I've noticed when it comes to camera for the most part it's more about the user than the camera it's self .
I would say they are equally important. It's much more difficult to edit a video if your raw footage is poor, lots of hose-piping for example. When shooting a video I always think how I can edit the scene that I am taking. Keeping the camera as still as possible, unless you are panning or tilting or following a moving object of course, helps. Editing on a phone cannot be too healthy on the eye I would think, much better to use as big a screen as you can afford.
I have the Canon SL1 but videos are noisy with the kit lens. I tried a manual focus prime lens on it but keeping moving subjects in focus proved to be more difficult than I thought and most auto focus lenses introduce a whirling noise. I am not interested in using external audio because I only record family events. I just want the videos to be cleaner. I also have the Sony a6000 and a5100. I have found that both Sony cameras produce substantially better quality video with the kit lens but they overheat rather quickly, about 12 minutes tops in my experience even in cool ambient temperatures. Lately I have been considering getting a camcorder so I am reading and watching reviews and other expert opinions such as this.
I’ve been doing TH-cam since 2010. I started recording with my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone... years later I upgraded to a dslr then mirrorless.... and now? Back to using my freakin phones!! It’s easier to set up, easier to carry around and vlog more discreetly, can charge while recording, built in audio is better on smartphones too (I have many video on dslr VS phones), you have Screen too see urself (selfie side), better in low light, faster auto focus, need I say anymore??? It’s just way more convenient, no learning curve, no extras to carry around. You will be amazed comparing many flagship smartphones camera to dslr cameras side by side.
You can get some depth of field or bluring background and sharp foreground with camcorders if you don't use the auto focus and switch to manual focus with the spotfocus/spotmeter on or the macro shot. You can even set the sutter speed and exposure manualy. I do have these items on my two sony HDR camcorders and after years of filming in automatic settings I am now learning to use them more often and the results are great. So just get away from the automatic settings and try things out and you will see that you get more out of a camcorder
Id personally prefer dslrs... I do have one and will use it for similar setting that you are in.. sitting talking.. But I do not have an external monitor or flippy screen on it.. I do have the 5D MK II.. I was considering the Vixia R800 only for walking and shooting some video until I can get something like the 80D with the dual pixel auto focus. I think once the 90D is about to be released.. the 80D will drop in price and I will pick it up.
Check if you have the 18-55mm which is marked "STM", that version is the most silent and I believe it sellss for little less than 100 USD. That lens works death quiet with cameras such as the Canon 70D and 80D ie. a camera with "dual pixel autofocus" technology (should say so on the original box). I can't say if this 18-55mm "STM" also behaves silently with all other Canon cameras but it is a possibility. If you own one of the other versions of the 18-55mm there's nothing you can do to make it quiet I'm afraid.
Yes, using an external microphone makes everything better and you should totally consider buying one (but noisy lenses will still be picked up by external mics standing near the lens)
Great subject and video! Something I went through when getting a camera for our videos. First thought was a video camera has to be better for video because that is what it's made for but then you learn it's simply not true. So we went the mirroless route and now using a mirroless with no recording limit so never have to worry about the camera shutting down in the middle of recording.
DSLRs only produce a better quality image with uber expensive lenses and don't forget the lack of stabilization, and the filters you'll need to buy. You can get the same quality image with a camcorder much cheaper. Sony's AX700 is far better to any DSLR at that 1200 dollar price point.
You r the best guy on youtube 1) Genuine 2) Totally amazing content( No bullshit running around) 3) Cover around 80% of current topics I wish u get millions of subscriber
When I started vlog when I was out going to work for example in the morning I would use a lower end pocket camera like my Sony dsc-w830. For quick minute or two shots. Problem with pocket cameras is the battery they use. Last 30 minute on mine of continuous video recording even at 720p. I ended up bringing a second battery just in case to continue on. If you really need a camcorder you can find them used even at pawn shops. For about $80 like the jvc gz-mg150u. Even though it's a standard definition and an old one at that compared to today's 1080p or 4k resolution. It does the job that I need it to do. Personally for me higher resolution is not always a better thing. If you can get away with just staying within an acceptable screen size resolution you should be okay. I usually go for the longer battery life for anything that's for digital cameras.
DSLRs bring in many difficulties, like large video files, the time limit... About image quality, it's kind of an overkill for youtube. I think most people would enjoy far more a Camcorder, or any other bridge cameras that do something similar, and still allows good enough pictures.
Today cameras overheat too easily especially mirrorless cameras. Camcorders just keeps going and are actually bullet proof when you need seriously record something without worry anything. A lot of cameras will shutdown because the overheat not because the 30min time limit. There are a lot of videos where mirrorless cant handle even 30 minutes.

Cool Camcorders
I experimented with my vixia for my videos, but have never used the outside footage.
There always seems to be weird sun flairs in the shots.
Love the video thanks for all the information :) What camera would u recommend me for 3-4 hour podcasting and film making?
I used camcorder for traveling videos,sceneri, but if im talking to myself like vlogging i will use go pro with audio adapter with mic
Think Media i like professional point and shoot cameras like the canon g7x
The worst comparison I have seen. You are comparing a $100 camcorder to a $2000 kit dslr. That is not fair. That is misleading. When you buy a $2000 camcorder then you will the same quality videos and maybe better footage overall without having to change lenses and mess around with settings
Agreed. This video is not well researched at all.
You can get the background out of focus with a camcorder, especially one with a bigger censor like a Canon M50, just go back and zoom in all the way on the subject.
Travis Kraft solid point!
I forgot to clarify that "higher end" camcorder do a lot more.
I was speaking to budget camcorders VS. budget DSLRs mostly 👊🏼💥💯
Is there a "budget" camcorder with a larger sensor?
True but is you are in a small room, you cannot go back and zoom in. So depth of field, blurry background effects kinda looses in that case. But nowadays new 1k dollar camcorders get it done pretty well too.
@@Leprutz I have never used a video camera other than a GoPro (including camera apps on phones) where you can't adjust the focus forward of backward. Not all cameras have the same focal distance or focus speed/control capabilities, but you can almost always get the background or foreground out of focus if that's what you're going for. I wholly disagree with "you have no depth of field control on a camcorder", only on fixed-focus cameras.
@@NillKitty Than you most certainly haven,t used a lot of cameras. The focal length distances vary upon lenses you are using. So believe me when i tell you than older under 500$ dollar camcorder weren't very capable of that. Now do not understand me wrong: I never said that you couldn,t get any blurry image out of a camera like that. In fact it was very easy. But you had no easy control over it and the only thing that gave you some kind of depth of field was only some object in the foreground (at max 10 cm away from the lense) and it was slightly blurry and everything exceeding those 10 cm was already sharp as a double edged knife. Talking about consumer camcorders. Now prosmer camcorders was an entirely different thing. But now in a small room even in the open if your subject was at least one meter away no blurry background possible du to the lack of capabilities the lenses had. Plus camcorders are known not to have interchangeable lenses.
So i must strongly disagree with you when we are talking about a somehow noticeable and prominent depth of field. Plus most theses incorporated lenses weren,t faster than some 5or
6 f stops. Some cameras though had some very good high iso capacity which made some lowlight shots quite acceptable.
the 1-inch sensor camcorders?
Next time, can you show us image quality of both the videocamera and DSLR?
I expected to see exactly that as well. Would be very helpful to see a tiered list in terms of value and features.
I bought a Canon Vixia HR R800 just a couple months ago. I love it for recording disc golf. I've filmed a few tournaments with a Vixia HF G20 as well. For filming a sport, a camcorder is definitely the way to go when purchasing a camera. I've also used my HF R800 to test as a vlogging camera, and it works pretty well. Though like you said, it is pretty close up, and I'm going to get a wide angle lens to use on it.
As for the audio, I got the Takstar SGC-598 to use with it as well. And like you said, it's nice to have the ability to use the external mic and have the headphone jack to monitor the audio on such a budget-friendly camera.
Country Disc Golf I recently bought the r800 , in my opinion go pro and camcorders are the better option for filming action sports .
Hello;
Thanks for this video. I believe we should use the DSLR for photos, Camcorder for video.
Some pros in Camcorder i want to mention
1. Camcorders already comes with flip screen.
2. Video features like focus peaking, zebra.
3. ND Filters in some Camcorders.
4. Battery life way better with Camcorders.
5. Better built in microphone and built in preamp.
6. Better form factor, camera made for video in mind.
7. The new Camcorders comes with larger image sensors now, like 1", APC and Full Frame.
8. There is Camcorders with interchangeable lenses.
9. Better codecs.
10. Clean HDMI output, to use it with External Recorders.
11. No cropping, full pixels read out from the image sensor.
I use Sony AX100 for video, Nikon D750 for Still.
Thanks.
I have AX100 also. It is awesome. my main video shooting is sports. Great stabilization, Great Auto Focus, Built in ND Filters for outdoors. Big sensor for low light. Very happy with it. 1080 at 60fps. Manual controls. My only wish was 4K 60fps. Not a big deal though. 1080 is fine for sports.
Almost all decent modern DSLRs have flip out screens.
AmmarTechnology "
Similarly I have the AX700, it's the best small (not so small compared to consumer camcorders however) camcorder I've ever held. For me I do trainspotting and bus spotting therefore I'm limited to how much stuff I can take with me. That thing literally has everything I in one package, I don't need any accessories apart from a microphone. In fact many of things he said in this video are only true on low end consumer camcorders and some higher end consumer camcorders.
@@lenmediastudio that's because they (DSLR advocates) often compare the cheap camcorders to a $500 to $1000+ DSLR.. not exactly what I'd call a fair fight...
"Thanks for the question... YANNICK." lmfao
I knew I would find at least 1 other person in the comments that had to rewind that thang one time
There are big sensor camcorders, without record time limit, even interchangeable lens camcorders. For video, always a equivalent price camcorder is better than a DSLR
Canon 5Dii was used by many many many film makers, don’t think you can say that about the equivalent price camcorder, the 5D was out performing the highest quality film cameras that cost 10x more.
I own a Canon HF G30 camcorder.
One thing about Canon camcorders is that they come with a small remote control.
This is a real bonus feature to have when recording yourself.
You can zoom in & out, and you can start & stop recording, all without having to get out of your chair.
When you're recording elaborate selfie style videos with multiple "takes" and segments, it saves alot of time & hassle when you don't have to physically touch the camera to operate it.
So much talking, but no footage from both to compare for yourself. :(
Interesting though.
I think a small-sensor camcorder makes the most sense for vlogging due to the deep depth of field. It reduces focus hunting, which is key if you're filming yourself. I'm not a vlogger or a camcorder owner, but I think I have a good idea of the tradeoffs.
Instead, I love shooting other kinds of video on my Panasonic G85. It's great for filmmaking because you can blur out the background.
Why do I need a dslr for quality video, when camcorders can record full hd and some 4K? , I'm brand new to this btw lol
According to which type of you. If you're Photogtapher go for DSLR or mirrorless. If you're Videographer go for professional camcorder. It gives more dynamic range & more videography features. Why i'm said "professional" camcorder? It because "mini" camcorders are lack of features & quality. It's like prosumer & pocket cam in photography. And pro camcorder also used for TV broadcast and mini film series. If you're not in doubt with budget, you can go for Cinema camera.
Im torn on this also. I keep hearing that the DSLR is preferred but I feel that a camcorder will work better for the motorsports type filming that I do.
@@GrimRZR DSLR and mirrorless cameras aren't good for all applications. for live event coverage and sports, i'd definitely recommend a camcorder. the higher end camcorders are amazing! apples and oranges are being compared in this video.. a $250 camcorder to a $700 DSLR. The camcorders I'm interested in put my mirrorless camera to shame
Glitz & Glam TV Productions what camera are you interested in?
@@carolinawest7001 I'm interested in a couple of different ones. I'll most likely upgrade to the Canon EOS M6 mark II unless there's a newer model by the time I upgrade :) I currently have the EOS M100
I've been researching cameras lately and can't believe how much your videos come up for my various searches. Thanks for all the great content!
Great educational thesis on the camcorder/DSLR variances. From my vantage point, dslrs are more trouble than they are worth for a lot of people making youtube clips. The pros and cons are brilliantly enumerated and I would underscore the great import of dslr's record-time brevity, but also sound acquisition inefficacy. This is crucial. Finally, it is also pertinent to stress that dslr is more desirable for image-obsessed shooters striving for the cinema big picture; which is irrelevant for most youtube video makers. I shoot with sony vg 900 and vg30 with a multitude of lenses, so I understand the obsession. A camcorder is infinitely more viable for any number of obvious reasons.
I'm still using my old Nikkon D3100 so there is no screen facing me when recording myself. One trick that has worked a little bit for me is to place the chair a little forward from where I want to sit, hold down the camera focus button with myself out of the shot, and then go sit in the chair and slide it back a foot or so since my head when seated is further forward than the seat back that i used for the focus. It works pretty well when I remember to do it!
Hello. To solve this problem, install qdslrdshborad software on mobile. And connect the camera to the mobile phone with a cable and take a video of yourself. Good luck
@@textvoise thanks. I'll try that.
Definitely camcorder. I vlog, but most of my content includes yoga classes that are at least 45min to 1hr 30min. The long record times and consistent focus are essential when I’m moving around, teaching and of paying attention to record time restrictions on a DSLR.
Half of those cons only really apply to the cheaper camcorders. I have a vixia hf g21 that does really well with that. Camcorders also are much friendlier with zoom controllers. Which is an essential piece of equipment for self filming in certain scenarios like hunting.
I like my canon t6i, its definitely worth getting.
isaac thill great camera!
I appreciate your comments on the two types of video choices. I love a camcorder. It's fast and easy, but for doing professional recordings, there is something to be said for a DSLR. Again, you have to ask yourself about the use, and what is most important for your functions.
I love my camcorder! I use a wide angle attachment lens. Mine was only abt $175 new (abt 3 years ago). The zoom is amazing. I love that I can monitor my audio with headphone. I use my iphone for other types of filming and get great footage. I want to get a Go Pro next. Definitely don't want to vlog or film with a heavy DSLR. Only for stills but I probably won't invest in one - at least for a long time
DragcentricDeb (Dragcentric) nice - sounds like solid setup!
Awesome video! helped me gain some clarity. But maybe I can ask for some advice still from you?
It's a long one...but detailed...I'd really love some help 🙂🙂🙂
I've been using 1 G7x Mark 1 & 3 SJ4000 action cams for about 2 years now
The canon does great in low light, however, the battery life and recording limit is horrible and I need something with longer record time because I can't interrupt my drumming to change batteries/start another recording and it doesn't start another video file after another (though I'm told some DSLRs and point & shoots Do start another file after 4GB--which I'm fine with)
Reason for my purchase: 1 of my SJcams broke a few weeks ago.
At first, I thought I should just get another action camera, then I thought maybe a point & shoot, then DSLR, now camcorder...basically, I have no idea lol
If I find something that meets all my needs, I would probably end up getting 1 or 2 more of those cameras in the future to match the quality, BUT I don't really want another G7x Mark 1 OR 2 because it only shoots videos up to 16 mins in 1080p60fps and 30 mins in lower resolutions.....I need a lot longer video recording than that.
One stipulation is that my studio is virtually pitch black when I record. Aside from the 2 Neewer 176 LED lights I use pointed on me and my drums. There is no other light source in my studio (ceiling lights are turned off)
^^^ I've researched and learned that action cams don't do well in low light and adding more light can even make a bad camera better and is probably my best option, but I also wanna keep that "infinite black background" look. So I may be getting 2 more of those Neewer lights and have 1 on each corner of my drum rug, but not if that will take away the black background look.
What do you recommend? Action camera? DSLR? Point & shoot? Camcorder?
BIG NOTE: This camera is strictly for video recording! Since I already have a g7x, I can get great pictures and I don't need something for that. I don't plan on selling my g7x because I probably won't get much for it in 2018.
---------------------------------------------------
MY STUDIO:
1. Black background all around my walls.
2. No ceiling lights on.
3. 2 Neewer 176 LED lights on myself and my drums at roughly 15-25% brightness (basically pitch black)
4. Drums --- so there are reflective surfaces in terms of lighting.
I DON'T NEED:
1. Great Audio quality --- I get that edited
2. Stabilization --- they'll be mounted on either a tripod or a boom mic stand.
3. 4k --- I think 1080p60fps is enough for me to get a cool slo-mo effect (I could be wrong tho)
I DO NEED:
1. Price --- $300-$500 USD (Since I may need to get 2 or even 3 more of whatever camera I choose)
2. Video Quality --- GREAT video quality in super low light with a pretty good Color Profile (Little to no Grain/Noise)
3. Record Time --- NEEDS to be able to shoot video for 30+ minutes
^^^Bonus if it can record while charging.
4. Settings --- Adjustable settings (WB, ISO, Exposure, etc)
5. Ease of Use -- Easy to use & easy to get my footage off the camera --- I prefer just plugging my SD cards straight into my laptop the "old-fashioned" way.
6. Auto-Focus --- I'd like to have continuous auto-focus for that price range (Drumming means my arms are flailing around)
***#2, 3 & 4 are must-haves.
SOME OPTIONS:
Action cams --> DSLR/Point & shoot --> Camcorder
1. Yi Lite --- Should be coming in the mail tomorrow
2. Yi-4k --- Should be coming in the mail tomorrow
3. SJ7 Star --- haven't ordered.
4. Canon EOS M50
5. Canon EOS Rebel T4i / T5i / T6
6. Canon EOS Rebel SL2
7. Panasonic Lumix LX10
8. Panasonic Lumix G7 4k
9. Panasonic G85 (I'm told this has no video recording limit)
10. Panasonic GX85 (I'm told this records multiple files once it hits 4GB - which I'm ok with)
11. Sony Handycam CX405
12. Canon Vixia HF R72 Camcorder (But there are many more that I have to research on)
Is the SL2 the camera for me? Or the G7? Or G85/GX85? Or a camcorder? Or even just an action camera? 🤔
I'd really appreciate some help with this. I'm not a photographer/videographer by any means..
This stuff is confusing lol
Thank you in advance.
@@JkDubbed I am not a pro just a everyday user.According to me a G7 would be a solid future investment.
I just returned the best GoPro out. The 7 Black. I was trying to find a camera to do it all. VLOG inside and capture audio and video outside. The GoPro is a good action camera but just can’t do it all.
Awesome video! I have a Canon G7x Mark 2, a Canon 70D DSLR, and today, I just picked up a Sony FDR-AX53... looking forward to using it... I have a family-oriented youtube channel and I have so much to learn about improving my footage quality... thanks for the information... very helpful for me 👍
Hey Sean: great video with really, really helpful tips for new TH-camrs. As you've stated before, just get started. I'm still shooting on a Panasonic FZ150; it's definitely limited because I have to have it on manual focus. But the tip: take lots of still photos is great - that's not something I've been doing, but I will now. My daughter Scout, says she likes your posters in your office and she likes your voice. All the best, Cheers Rick
Don't like simple short quotes in general, however yours in the background are quite(quote) on point!
Camcorders also have silent and quick zoom.
furulevi ur right,i tried the canon g7x ,when its using its auto focus i hear on playback recording the grainy sounds or crakling sounds ,its the motor that autofocus mechanism your hearing.
Dslr zoom is instant, but yeah you can hear it if your using the internal mic.
@@boypanot1509 , even with external mike?
boy panot I have many cameras also g7x mark 2... yup u can hear zooming in all of them... in my opinion its best to record with smartphones. I have video comparisons on many camera vs. phones... g7x VS Iphone, Galaxy s9 VS Canon m50, etc... smartphones better overall... faster auto focus, no zooming noise, built in audio way better, can charge while recording, no extra baggage to carry or move around, low lighting much better etc etc!
I think both is best. With a fixed position and good lighting to do car repair stuff, for instance, I think a camcorder is best because usually you're not doing anything artsy and it sucks to bring a part close to the camera to show the detail and have it go blurry. But then for going to a car meet or perhaps making that artsy film, the DSLR is good. So it kind of depends on what KIND of video you're making.
I recently upgraded my channel with a DSLR and the difference is HUGE!!! Great quality...
Techsmart awesome! Great to hear. Keep crushing it!
Your videos help me a lot to improve my channel!
I have used booth DSLR and Camcorders for video Coming from a Media Background for over 30+ Years camcorders are a better fit for my workflow as most of my projects are long like 2hrs plus most times camcorders are designed for video and no rec time limit etc and better audio etc i currently shoot using 2 JVC Streaming Camcorders when i can stream live to either facebook or youtube without any need of additional software cameras i currently use Cannon 70D JVC GY-HM250 and JVC-HC500U
Great info, Sean. However, I'd like to point out a few things: 1. I honestly think that you can get more bang for your budget by going Canon's refurbished route. You could get an HF R 600 and an ELPH 330 (or their more current iterations) for $200 combined. Thus, you'd get good videos and stills so you could spend money elsewhere; 2. many DSLRs don't have audio jacks, whereas the R600 does; 3. for about $500, you could get those two cameras, a Zoom H1n, a Neewer camera cage, a sturdy but budget-friendly Ravelli tripod for the R600, an Amazon tripod for the ELPH, and a lower-end Audio Technica shotgun. Therefore, you'd have a decent two-camera setup with decent sound for about the price of a lower-end DSLR that may not have a mic input.
Ronald Malcolm all great points and unbeatable when taking price.
However, for image quality, DOF... Etc. - DSLR perform better.
I don't think there is a definitive right answer ... I think it depends on each persons needs and budget. 👊🏼💥💯
You're absolutely right. I'm a cheapskate who loves a two camera setup.
+1 for the Zoom H series. Their Q series cameras are worth a look too if you need high quality audio
I was using my Canon 6D Mark II (that I just love) + Elgato CAM LINK 4K to Live Streaming public events and not having a clean HDMI output was killing me. At the end I moved to Canon VIXIA HF R800 and it is just perfect to what I am doing.
camcorder for what I do, i record over 30 minutes and want everything in focus. also canon g40 has a remote so I can stop and record from far. away.
Tampatec nice - sounds perfect!
Tampatec right on! I like my camcorder(Sony jp540) under low light is not that great but, 60fps and that fluid eye(balanced optical steady shot) technology is great makes the video a lot more stable when walking. Also dslr cameras are not as comfortable in the hands when shooting a long video.
I agree!
Tampatec can you suggest some good microphone which is compatible with camcorders. ..Am having canon vixia hfg20
Tampatec can you buy me a camcorder cause here in my country cameras are very pricey please can i have one I also want to make a video please😃😃😃
I started with a Vixia and eventually moved on to the Nikon D3300. Mainly switched for better low light. I regret nothing.
MarkusPix is a professional photographer and fairly new to youtube, he swears by camcorders for longevity and dependability. Hes got some awesome content
4 years later.....but still great content, well done, most appreciated. Thank you. With the accessories now, digital camers appear the winner over all. But I'm thinking a refurbished camcorder in the kit bag wouldn't hurt.
I've been doing a ton of research on this lately. I've had a Canon T5i & T3i with an assortment of decent lenses, but have always struggled with them. My video quality sucks because they frustrate me for what I do (outdoors videos). Today's camcorders just end the comparison for me. The new crop is coming with DSLR-like settings in-camera + have all the benefits of uninterrupted recording as long as your batteries last, longer run time on the batteries, constant focus zoomed in or out and 4K with pretty much matching DSLR quality in dollar for dollar comparisons (for example, $800 DSLR vs $800 Camcorder).
It's pretty much a no-brainer for people who don't need Bokeh in their video or extreme low light performance (even though the new camcorders are coming up in that department too).
I need, prefer and want deep depth of field (the opposite of Bokeh) with almost everything in focus. I shoot outdoors in the day time. Low light performance is not a concern for me. And, I'm shooting videos, not taking pictures.
So, I have a 2018 Panasonic VX1K on it's way to me tomorrow with beautiful 4K and an assortment of DSLR-like adjustments that will give me the flexibility of both.
As for sensor size, not as important for video vs photography. Today, phones are taking pictures about as good as cameras so in my opinion, for the non-professional who doesn't need to create artistic imagery and just wants long run times from a camera that they don't have to worry about overheating and stopping work just to wait for it to cool down and who still want clear sharp nice color footage, the modern day upper level camcorder is killin' it right now.
It's to the point these days that you literally have to post footage side by side to compare the two and then look with a magnifying glass for the differences that the average TH-cam viewer would never in a million years either notice or even care.
I'd LOVE to see some good camcorder reviews because in my opinion, for 90% of TH-camrs, camcorders (the new ones + the prosumer camcorders) are the best choice. Turn on, stage your shot, done. More content in less time, less fidgeting with adjustments and far less time in post.
People need to know that DSLR are designed for photography primarily. This is why it takes so much more work to extract good video from them where camcorders are designed for video primarily.
It's like taking an economy car to use for construction work or commuting with a work truck. While you can do both with either, the economy car is obviously the better vehicle for commuting and the work truck is obviously the better vehicle for construction.
JMHO
Or, put another way;
DSLR if you want to take 3 hours to shoot a 15 minute video and Camcorder if you want to take 15 minutes to shoot a 15 minute video! 😂
How smooth is footage shot with a camcorder? How good is the video stabilization when used hand-held? Is it usable in a TH-cam video?
@@srilankavideos6105 Excellent smoothness.
The image stabilization is better than any DSLR I've used.
You assume all camcorders are crap and don't have manual controls. Sony has some good higher-end camcorders. I love using my Sony AX53. It's not perfect for everything, but it can do a lot very good.
does anybody else noticed that amazing weather outside..?
devashish pandey yup
devashish pandey ha, it's more amazing outside where I am right now!

Good production quality: audio levels and lighting. Content is to the point and flow is also good. Thumbs up.
I purchased a Sony AX53 camcorder... I highly recommend it. It's phenomenal. It has a focus ring btw, so you don't need a DSLR to get the blurry background effect.
Great advice! We CrossFit, so typically use a GoPro for the action shots. We also bring our Sony a6000 with the kit zoom lens. Found that having a prime lens wasn't as useful as the kit lens when you don't have the space to "zoom" with your legs.
Tiny Power Couple nice! Yes - a zoom lens is helpful for various shot composition needs for sure!
Aw man, no "coming up" at the beginning? Lol I was waiting for that.
FREE1UP shoot... Forgot on this one 😂
Creeper Aw Man
Hello, you are very right that DSRL cameras are much better. I have a Sony camcorder from 8 years ago, at that time the novelty was that they recorded at 1080 and I remember that the quality of 720 to 1080 was a big difference and it recorded very beautifully. I also had the canon vixia hr 60 camcorder in 2015 and I liked it a lot, but then I sold it. In 2016 I bought a canon powershot 720 compact camera and it is wonderful, super practical, has a great zoom and records very clearly in bright light conditions. In 2017 I bought a Nikon DSRL and in terms of depth of field and sensor it is much better. Now I found the canon vixia model hr800 camcorder and bought it on amazon. I have been testing it and I have 15 days in case I want to return it. Indeed, if you compare it with a DSRL camera, it does have many disadvantages. But it has other advantages such as that you can leave it connected for hours with its power cable, you can use it for vlogging or streaming for hours and you can put good lighting on it and it records very well. And in conditions of loading a DSRL to a camcorder, the difference in weight is huge. I try to look for all the positive side to the cameras. Maybe a camcorder doesn't work at all for depth of field in vlogin but it can serve you for other functions that maybe the DSRL can't serve you. The question is to look for the creative side for what each camera can serve you in a different situation and for that use them. I still don't know if I'm going to return it, but it has very nice things that a DSRL doesn't have. The more variety of equipment you have, the more versatility you can find at work or in your videos.
i used to use GoPros for my drum channel, but i just got a Canon 70D and start getting used to it.. haven't uploaded a video with the new cam though.. still learning.
70d may have overheating problems, please be careful.
I'm a budget guy and I currently shoot on a CANON VIXIA for some of my videos on my channel. I have a few cameras, but the VIXIA is my main shooter.
If anyone wants examples of the look and quality, feel free to check it out.
I got a Canon Vixia RF700 camcorder based on one of your old vids. It's great overall but at night in low light I get loads of film grain even with the lights. I kinda want to get a DSLR now. The picture quality is freaking amazing. I still want to master this lighting thing though. I've only got the lighting near perfect once and it really brought down the film grain like 85%.
Yes! 👊🏼💥💯
Get a Neewer light or two
Has a teeny tiny sensor.
what's Film grain?
Hi Sean i moved away from camcorders to dslr firstly the canon 70d then the 90d but i have moved back to camcorders you can use a camcorder in manual mode and get blurry backgrounds i think you are giving camcorders a bad vibe man
A big issue for us was no mic connection on our Canon Rebel. Also sound quality is an issue since many cameras don't have a shotgun or focused mic, so connecting to sound is also an issue.
I have a Panasonic HC-V180K. Used with an external mic an proper lighting is a nice and cheap setup
I film overhead craft, art, journal process videos mostly. Which would you recommend, the Canon Vixia or the Canon Rebel T6i?
Definitely get the T6i. You can shoot video in AUTO mode to start out. Your arts and crafts will look better. Also, when you learn a bit, you can get a 24mm 2.8 STM lens or a 50mm 1.8.... Fairly cheap lenses that make close ups look just fantastic.
I think the better questions is how much gel do you use for you hair
And for music videos what do you recommend?
Cepillin TV dslr
Camcorder for sure. Unlimited filming time, better at capturing the environment/set, easier to carry around and move around while filming, and you don't have issues with autofocus. Not sure why the other guy said dslr.
@@punkyagogo why would you need unlimited filming time for a music video? Most songs are between 3 and 5 minutes in length, and usually involve alot of cuts and clips. Dont get me wrong, I'm very much pro camcorder, but unless someone has the budget for a higher end camcorder, the dslr/mirrorless route would probably be the best way to go for the most cinematic look and feel.
In short for youtube purpose which is best 1. Camcorder,
2. DSLR
Answer??
i use a dslr all the time and the learning curve is tough. almost all my videos the exposure is out lol. but i will not stop trying.
Seedubya Tech 100%
Have your seen the "best dslr video settings" video on this channel? 👊🏼🎥💥💯
Every. Freakin'. Time.
Seedubya Tech What lens / settings are you using? Assuming full manual mode - 24 frames per second is perfect unless you need slo-mo then ramp it up to 60. Shutter speed should be as close to double as possible - so 24 fps should be a 50 on the shutter speed. Either judge lighting or go for auto ISO... then, for focus, if static, may I suggest focusing first - then when found focus, turn your autofocus off to stop it getting confused. If you are worried about it - whack your aperture to something like F16 or F18. This will sort many focus issues... but obviously you won't get that nice blurred depth of field. My disclaimer here is that you may want different shutter speeds and frame rates for different effects - but the shutter speed should be as close to double the frame rate as possible. Lighting is your friend, always, whether a pro kit or just natural light used well.Also, no shame in using auto or semi auto modes such as aperture priority while experimenting. And above all - don't sweat it - it's fun learning right. That's what I think anyway :) Good luck
I think the Camcorder is the better option to go for, if you want a longterm project.
basically when you work for big productions you will not surely use auto focus, but you may alway do it manually. if I can give my advise about what to buy 1000% for sure I will go for camcorders. the brand doesn't really matter. Canon, Sony, or Panasonic. I basically use Sony or Panasonic product. Such (Sony HVR-HD1000U 1080i HDV) and (Panasonic HC-MDH2 AVCHD)
the fact is when someone call you for a professional work, He expect you to have the right tools, Camcorder will provide more realism and more pro options, I also use DSLR but not alone for projects.
best channel for product reviews...
ur info r so helpful to me, i watch almost all ur episode even if it does not relate to my need of the hour. like this one !
thanks for the clarification on cameras. We are new TH-cam creators and and these videos have been really helpful for us.
Goodnight Walkers you're welcome - happy to help - keep crushing it!
@@ThinkMediaTV i use a camcorder and love it
I prefer a video camera for shooting video. I know, my Panasonic GH-4 is the choice of a lot of videographers and does give a good image. However, it does not have XLR audio inputs and I use a zoom too often. If I need a video camera quickly, such as traveling down the road and see a moving train I want to shoot, I use a little (nearly pocket size) Panasonic VX-981 4k video camera...it takes me just a few seconds to turn it on (just swing open the video screen) and I'm shooting. My DSLR takes a while to get up and running, and it is not very forgiving should you forget something. If I am doing an interview, I use my Panasonic DVX-200, which is a large, professional video camera. It has professional audio inputs, a nice zoom, and a screen big enough to see what's going on and provide a lot of status indicators. I have a friend who shoots with a DSLR...when shooting, he puts together a whole rig that holds his camera, audio equipment and a large video monitor. He is more the cinematic type and wants the shallow depth of field that the GH-4 give shim. It takes him minutes to put his rig together. I do not use my DSLR for shooting video, period. I might if I kept my camera in a dedicated studio and had it always set up for shooting video. If DSLR's were so good, you'd see news people using them. Or them being used to shoot sporting events. When you look around, you'll see that just about all the pros use dedicated video cameras.
I've gotten burned by autofocus, auto white balance, auto exposure, etc., so I prefer the manual control of a DSLR (I primarily use a Canon T4i). I make DIY videos and nothing beats precise focus. Yes, I can switch to manual control on my Canon Vixia camcorder, but it's a lot harder; camcorders are designed for shooting home movies with auto-everything.
HandyDadTV great points - I agree - we shoot with DSLRs and mirrorless 👊🏼💥💯
I have a vixia HF g10 and you can change to manual very easy. You can set one of the custom buttoms for manual or autofocus. Also it doesn't matter which camera you use. Its all about storytelling and i suck at it lol. Another thing is that he stated that the 60d has good autofocus for video. I dont think so, good auto focus with DSLRs came starting with the 70d not 60d.
DSLRs are good enough for fixed focus but for anything else, get a decent quality video camera. Make sure you get one that has an external mic jack. Anyone who is serious about making videos (as opposed to talking heads) still uses a dedicated video camera.
This is totally biased ! You are comparing an over 1000 $ dslr with a 300 $ or so camera ! Canon and Sony do carry top of the line video camera with 4k or more and in the same price range than dslr, and with interchangeable lenses, I am fed up of people telling kids this kind of bs.
Philippe Rostin You are correct, it is but the points are all there, in my opinion you can reach about the same quality with both if you know what you are doing, practice and mastering filming and editing techniques. Post edit color grading and correction, there is no need in buying something that will break your pocket book, each one is great, and of course its gonna be bias, check the video description, Tons of Amazon affiliate links, its all business..... not hating but its the truth....
7:10 Yup. Although, you can find entry level DSLRs (Canon Rebel, Nikon D, etc.) for less than $400, but I suspect folks that are in the market for entry level DSLRs for video are not going to invest the time to customize the video settings and would probably be best served with a $200 camcorder. Regardless, I think buying used is the way to go with any camera. Heck, I'd start filming videos with a smartphone a window and a desk lamp.
If you're even more budget strapped than that as a beginner, you can find camcorder knock offs for as low as $50-$60. These are not professional grade cameras but are generally as good or better than your cell phone a ta fraction of the price. Also a cheap enough investment that you won't feel you wasted money down the line when you upgrade to a better system. Assuming you even have to.
I still got something from this. Yea they are in diff price ranges, but hell tell you why youre paying more vs the other. Whixh fits your needs better, price isn't always the main factor.
Battery life, you didn't mention that, because some camcorders can attach a huge battery. Overheating is another not mentioned thing, outside in hot weather a camcorder never overheats, a DSLR or system camera can overheat very quickly.
Thank you for making this video I was wondering which one to buy
AnnieGrace happy to help!
I love my panasonic camcorder ❤great night vision too great for ghost hunting
Where can I ask my question so he can see it and actually answer?
TumorenitaCici R Twitter is usually best 👍🏼
Haha orrr right here! Love your videos man keep it up.
Just saw your latest video 10-01-2019 for
Canon VIXIA HF G50 camcorder
now what which one to buy for TH-cam VIDEOS ?
Here you say DSLR is better for creators, but that camcorders are better for filming long videos like seminars and workshops. Well, as a crafter/artist - I don't need fancy blurred or bokeh backgrounds. My camera is trained on my hands and the project I'm creating the whole time. I used to use my phone to record and the videos looked like it. Now I use my sister's old Sony Handycam which is a camcorder and the picture is much better. So, do you think for "crafters" (I hate that term, really) who do LONG videos (1 or more hours, typically) that are mostly tutorials (aka "how to" seminars or workshops) where they just point the camera to table they're working on - do you think a camcorder is well-enough for that? TBH, I get tired of people doing a whole lot of extra stuff to their videos. It doesn't add value to me - and it doesn't change the actual value of the content having a cute trick shot here or there added in. All this random jump cutting and playing with settings gets really annoying - especially after you watch 30 different creators all doing it. It's the same with people who play music during their videos. The music is always too loud and it's always something cringey - taste in music is SO specific and subjective that I think it's better to have none than risk alienating the viewers. Anyway, this is about cameras - uhm, a beginning person probably won't have a "gear" or any other budget - let alone $1000 to spend on camera stuff for a new You Tube channel with ZERO subs and no idea of whether the channel will ever pay off. If my sis hadn't given me her old Handycam, I'd still be using my old cringey phone. If I had money to invest - TBH I would invest it in machines I want or need for crafting (3D printer, laser printer, cricut maker, laser cutting machine) over camera gear. If I were rich - of course, I would go all in and splurge on the camera set up and lighting and everything. Is there room to just use what you have and make the best of it while you're just starting or building a channel? You're "SEAN CANNELL" the celebrity, so of course you can afford whatever you think will help your channel (PRAISE GOD, and may you continue to grow and be richly blessed!!), but what were you using when you were just Pastor Sean and just starting out here? Or did you start out having all these options? I can't even get into lenses. For a "crafting" channel - are multiple lenses necessary? PS - as a Christian myself - I'm watching your videos because you believe in what I believe in - faith based excellence. I started my channel because I was just learning about crafting and didn't see a big representation of African American inspired crafts or African American women crafting. And I wanted to use my channel as a way to kind of inspire black women and also encourage Bible Study, home groups, or other Christian groups to tune in and join in. All we here about are Bible studies and book clubs. I've been an artist all my life, but never knew there was a "crafting" world out there. You Tube opened my eyes and from then on I wanted to just share what I create and encourage other believers to do the same - maybe open them up to a whole new world of connecting and creativity, too. Didn't have anything, but desire. Now that I see what other people are doing - I want to get to that level. But it takes creativity, time, and money. Right now I got two outta three - that's just where I'm at. You have great content so I'm trying to learn how to be successful in the space that I'm in right now using your insight and tips.
After I watched your video, I ll go with the DSLR
First comment I've ever made--because this actually helped. Great video.
*Great video and just want to let you know I hit that like button, subscribed and turned on notifications for move videos from you. = : ) I have 2 DSLRs I have an Olympus OM-D E-M1 and a Nikon D3200, I also have a Canon XA25, I also have an Olympus Tough TG-870. personally I like to shoot videos on the XA25 however if I am vlogging I see no point in using the DSLR's or the XA25 two hundred and eighty dollars gets you a camera that has a flip screen with a wide angle lens that you take video with. However it's what you want to use the camera for that matters. = : )*
Hi. I also have a Nikon d3200, although the quality of the image is greater, it is very problematic to make blogs with a digital SLR camera. The comparisons DSLR vs. Camcorder always take as a starting point the basic camcorders and not the good ones, a good camcorder with a 1-inch sensor costs the same price as the body of a digital SLR and also, it records in 4k and they are much more versatile than a heavy DSLR.
"Comin' up" ??
TimRex "coming up" is "coming soon" in a future video 😂
THiNK Media TV
plz show us the practical review of 24mm on 70D
is it suitable for vlogging
is it wider...?
please reply please please
WELL...now with the new 1" camcorders from Sony and Canon we get better "blurry background" and better video ergonomics. Eventually we will have camcorders with APS-C sensors...but 1" sensor is basically the same as a micro 4/3 so you'll be fine!
DSLR is best investment for future.
Subhadeep Dey 👍🏼💯
Do you think a DSLR is good for photography of landscapes and stuff like that
I have a Canon Rebel T6 and it's head and shoulders above a camcorder for landscapes. I also use it for most of my TH-cams.
yep
Yes.. The short time recording in DSLR is not con for me. As you can always change SD card and start recording again.
I love my mirrorless Panasonic G7. I've owned both before. When I was a noob with video, I would've preferred the camcorder because of its ease of use but as I got better I like DSLRs more because of the interchangeable lenses and the more creative you can get with them.
Which is more important camera or editing..I was planning to buy a dslr and edit on a phone or buy a digital camera and buy a laptop..which one should I do please help😫😫
Being Flor definitely editing also experience helps as well if you buy a DSLR and don't know how to use it or tweak the settings you won't get that amazing quality that was mentioned in the video , the thing I've noticed when it comes to camera for the most part it's more about the user than the camera it's self .
Being Flor editing for sure.
I would say they are equally important. It's much more difficult to edit a video if your raw footage is poor, lots of hose-piping for example. When shooting a video I always think how I can edit the scene that I am taking. Keeping the camera as still as possible, unless you are panning or tilting or following a moving object of course, helps. Editing on a phone cannot be too healthy on the eye I would think, much better to use as big a screen as you can afford.
I have the Canon SL1 but videos are noisy with the kit lens. I tried a manual focus prime lens on it but keeping moving subjects in focus proved to be more difficult than I thought and most auto focus lenses introduce a whirling noise. I am not interested in using external audio because I only record family events. I just want the videos to be cleaner. I also have the Sony a6000 and a5100. I have found that both Sony cameras produce substantially better quality video with the kit lens but they overheat rather quickly, about 12 minutes tops in my experience even in cool ambient temperatures. Lately I have been considering getting a camcorder so I am reading and watching reviews and other expert opinions such as this.
I’ve been doing TH-cam since 2010. I started recording with my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone... years later I upgraded to a dslr then mirrorless.... and now? Back to using my freakin phones!! It’s easier to set up, easier to carry around and vlog more discreetly, can charge while recording, built in audio is better on smartphones too (I have many video on dslr VS phones), you have Screen too see urself (selfie side), better in low light, faster auto focus, need I say anymore??? It’s just way more convenient, no learning curve, no extras to carry around. You will be amazed comparing many flagship smartphones camera to dslr cameras side by side.
LMAO
Ummmm better in low light and a camera phone ??
Which phone are u using for vlogging now ? Thanks
You can get some depth of field or bluring background and sharp foreground with camcorders if you don't use the auto focus and switch to manual focus with the spotfocus/spotmeter on or the macro shot. You can even set the sutter speed and exposure manualy. I do have these items on my two sony HDR camcorders and after years of filming in automatic settings I am now learning to use them more often and the results are great. So just get away from the automatic settings and try things out and you will see that you get more out of a camcorder
Id personally prefer dslrs... I do have one and will use it for similar setting that you are in.. sitting talking.. But I do not have an external monitor or flippy screen on it..
I do have the 5D MK II.. I was considering the Vixia R800 only for walking and shooting some video until I can get something like the 80D with the dual pixel auto focus.
I think once the 90D is about to be released.. the 80D will drop in price and I will pick it up.
How do you minimize the noise on the auto focusing of the canon rebel 18-55mm lense? will an external mic help?
Also, what's the video for canon settings? Thanks!
Check if you have the 18-55mm which is marked "STM", that version is the most silent and I believe it sellss for little less than 100 USD. That lens works death quiet with cameras such as the Canon 70D and 80D ie. a camera with "dual pixel autofocus" technology (should say so on the original box). I can't say if this 18-55mm "STM" also behaves silently with all other Canon cameras but it is a possibility. If you own one of the other versions of the 18-55mm there's nothing you can do to make it quiet I'm afraid.
Yes, using an external microphone makes everything better and you should totally consider buying one (but noisy lenses will still be picked up by external mics standing near the lens)
Miriam Strauss yes ... An external mic will def. help!
Great subject and video! Something I went through when getting a camera for our videos. First thought was a video camera has to be better for video because that is what it's made for but then you learn it's simply not true. So we went the mirroless route and now using a mirroless with no recording limit so never have to worry about the camera shutting down in the middle of recording.
I really like the aesthetic of older camcorders for some reason lol.
My używamy i DSLR i tradycyjnych kamer. DSLR głównie do slow motion, a kamery do klasycznego obrazu.
Not first :(
DSLRs only produce a better quality image with uber expensive lenses and don't forget the lack of stabilization, and the filters you'll need to buy. You can get the same quality image with a camcorder much cheaper. Sony's AX700 is far better to any DSLR at that 1200 dollar price point.

I recommend cannon EOS 70D it’s a great camera you just need to buy what type of lenses separately.

thank you so much and sorry 4 my bad english spelling
Tim König Never apologise for the way you speak. :)
When I started vlog when I was out going to work for example in the morning I would use a lower end pocket camera like my Sony dsc-w830. For quick minute or two shots. Problem with pocket cameras is the battery they use. Last 30 minute on mine of continuous video recording even at 720p. I ended up bringing a second battery just in case to continue on. If you really need a camcorder you can find them used even at pawn shops. For about $80 like the jvc gz-mg150u. Even though it's a standard definition and an old one at that compared to today's 1080p or 4k resolution. It does the job that I need it to do. Personally for me higher resolution is not always a better thing. If you can get away with just staying within an acceptable screen size resolution you should be okay. I usually go for the longer battery life for anything that's for digital cameras.
Got those post notifications on and I was excited to watch this video when I saw it. Thanks for the tips. Very helpful!

DSLRs bring in many difficulties, like large video files, the time limit... About image quality, it's kind of an overkill for youtube. I think most people would enjoy far more a Camcorder, or any other bridge cameras that do something similar, and still allows good enough pictures.

Hillonetwork Informatica Seguridad Comunicaciones Good choices.
Today cameras overheat too easily especially mirrorless cameras. Camcorders just keeps going and are actually bullet proof when you need seriously record something without worry anything. A lot of cameras will shutdown because the overheat not because the 30min time limit. There are a lot of videos where mirrorless cant handle even 30 minutes.
