A camera is a slightly more complicated tool than a hammer, so let us investigate which hammer, um, camera is best for your vlogging needs.
Finding the best camera for vlogging is subjective, as a camera greatly depends on what a vlogger needs. I have narrowed my criteria down to ten considerations. I've tried to order them from most important to least, though this will vary depending on what type of vlogger and filmmaker you are. Let's hammer in this nail. Read more.
