With 4k video capabilities and the ability to capture 120 fps, your videos will be incredibly clear and have impressive quality even when put in slow motion. Personally, I didn’t know cameras of this size and type could be mirrorless and have the ability to have interchangeable lenses. This camera can be purchased with an assortment of lenses, but it is most commonly used with the 16-50mm lens. At $800 when purchased with the lens included, this camera is on the more expensive side of the vlogging camera industry.

Though the camera is primarily for capturing content while in action, using this camera to vlog could be perfect if you film in extreme conditions. At just $400, this camera has the capability to film 5.3K resolution at 60 fps - something no other camera on this list has. On top of the incredible resolution, there are screens on both the front and back of the camera body for creators to make sure their shots are perfect.

Without an interchangeable lens, the listed weight of this camera is actually how much it weighs. Vlogging demands a steady hand, and there’s no better way to ensure steadiness than with a lightweight camera. Along with being lightweight, it is also one of the smallest vlogging cameras of this quality. This camera has the ability to shoot 4k video at 30 fps, along with the ability to live stream to Youtube directly from your camera.

When spending your dollar on a vlogging camera, you should take into account all the other things you can use the camera for. Whether it be landscape photography, sports photography, or videography, versatility is key in the camera industry. With capability to shoot up to 21 fps in continuous shooting, this camera is for more than just video. This camera features shutter speeds ranging from 30- 1/32000 and a burst rate of 24 fps to create incredible opportunities to capture moving objects.

While yes, it is the best option in our opinion, there are plenty of options out there including GoPro and Canon products. Here’s a table to compare the key features and prices of these best vlogging cameras. I am fairly new to the “professional” photography realm, only buying my first DSLR just a few weeks ago. But, I’ve been shooting photography for over three years, so I know what to look for when deciding which camera to purchase. While these cameras aren’t the DSLRs I’m used to, the technology within these cameras put them as solid alternatives for a casual photographer who wants an easily portable camera.
