Great! Your most important piece of equipment is your camera. We break down for you the best vlogging cameras from price to portability. The best cameras for vlogging are not only small but function exactly as you need depending on your shooting environment. There\u2019s really something for every type of vlogger. Read on for our comprehensive guide to the best vlogging cameras in 2022.<\/p>\n<h2>What is vlogging?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mceNonEditable embeditem\" data-embed-url=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/670389814\" data-embed-height=\"384\" data-embed-width=\"800\" data-embed-constrain=\"true\"><iframe title=\"Footage by Erwin de Boer\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/670389814?h=3ee1a44c5a&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"728\" height=\"384\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The word vlogging literally means \u201cvideo logging.\u201d It\u2019s essentially creating a blog with short videos instead of the typical blog post on a website. Vlogs can be as short or as long as you want and can be posted everywhere, from Instagram to YouTube. There are various types of vloggers, from musicians to makeup artists; comedians to cosplayers. There really isn\u2019t anything you can\u2019t vlog about! You just need a video camera for vlogging.<\/p>\n<h2>Essential features of a vlogging camera<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on where you\u2019re shooting, you\u2019ll want to look for a camera with the best combination of the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Stabilization<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Video quality<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Audio quality (although you will likely use an external microphone)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Portability<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our guide will help you find the sweet spot between all these features and explore various\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/types-of-cameras\/\">types of cameras<\/a>, from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/the-best-dslr-cameras-for-2021\/\">DSLRs<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/best-mirrorless-cameras-2021\/\">mirrorless<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/best-point-and-shoot-cameras\/\">point and shoot<\/a>, action cams, and even\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/best-phone-for-video-recording\/\">phones<\/a>! Finding a good camera for vlogs doesn\u2019t have to be complicated.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stabilization<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re moving around at all, in-camera stabilization is essential. Most DSLRs and 4K vlogging cameras have internal stabilization, but consider adding a small\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-gimbal\/\">gimbal<\/a>\u00a0for extra stabilization, especially if you will be walking and talking or doing any kind of sport. Of course, if you plan to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/video-tripod-tips\/\">use a tripod<\/a>\u00a0and record in a studio, in-camera stabilization matters less.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Video quality<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The top vlogging cameras will have at least 4K video output, but also pay attention to color and image quality. Image quality is measured in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/video-resolution\/\">pixels<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/what-is-bitrate-and-how-does-it-affect-video-quality\/\">bitrate<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/camera-sensor-size\/\">sensor size<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Audio quality<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You will likely use an external mic such as a lavalier or a shotgun mic, but if you plan to record audio directly into the camera, pay attention to features such as the time limit on file length.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Portability<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your vlogging environment will dictate how small or large your vlogging camera needs to be. GoPros and iPhones make for excellent vlogging cameras on the fly and are the most portable. Mirrorless DSLRs are lighter than their mirrored counterparts.<\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"124\" class=\"elementor elementor-124\"
