Hi there,
I recently got into making gaming videos for YouTube but I also want to start making cooking videos as well. But, for that I'm going to need a video camera!
I've done a bit of research but I don't really know much about cameras in general (sorry!). I was originally looking into DSLR's as I heard they are good for video as well, however when I started looking at camcorders they seemed to be the better option as I'm not really bothered about taking photos, just video.
My requirements for a video camera are:
- 1080p /60fps video
- external mic support
- very good quality stationary recording
- and... that's about it.
My budget is around £300, may stretch to more if it's worth it. The only camcorder I have found which does 1080p @ 60fps and supports an external mic within my budget is a Canon VIXIA HF R600.
I would also appreciate advice on microphones to use with it.
Would this be a good option? Are there any alternatives to consider? Thanks for reading!
