Again, these are just recommendations based on what I’ve personally used, or researched. As you can see, I’m also very partial to Canon, Panasonic and Sony – which for my money, produce the best video equipment available. But visit some of the above …

correction RIGHT side
lol i tried to clean my screen and i realized that it wasnt dirty it was a mole on the left side of his neck lol 3:00 3:15
@JoelScottTV 1080p doesn’t just define quality, it just means the resolution. Other things in a camera are involved too, like the sensor and stuff.
Is digital zoom meant to take advantage over people who don’t understand zooming?
I have a Canon LEGRIA HF R205 which can also take photos eat that flip oh wait flip camera have been discountined
i have a toshiba camileo s30, its 1080p but the video quality looks knowhere near that maybe you could check my video out and maybe tell me why it doesnt look amazing like other videos people have shot with the camileo s30
Booooooo!
whats a good cheap camera for beauty guru videos? (not making $ off the videos)
This may sound weird, Jon, but what equipment would you recommend (besides a camera of course) for a music video?
@WTFshortfilmz pretty sure when he originally made the description links the double kit lens bundle cost over $1,000.
@TheStarToad500 You could use a DVD recorder, no need for a camera if you’re just pointing at a TV.
@SmileitsFrank I don’t he uses those. What I can tell you is that they are pretty good. VLoggin with it is a little odd, the way to hold it.
The 3rd gen Flip cameras are now around 50-80 dollars and have been improved. what camera would you recommend for youtube for not an arm and a leg
When I was making YouTube videos back in the summer of 2010, I used my mom’s camera.
I think it’s a Canon PowerShot, but I’m not entirely sure.
If anyone wants a really cheap camera that films 720p HD widescreen footage I recommend the CANON A2200 Powershot really cheap camera but good quality for the price only £59.00= $92.00
Hello Jon
Could you recommend a highspeed camera that isnt to expensive(less than500$) that shoots at a minimum of 500fps?
I can only find older cameras, that arent available now.
i would need it for some slomo shoots that arent too fast, so the cam doesnt have to be perfect
Thanks alot

Why did you put the canon EOS t2i in the under $3000 why not under $1000 it cost $619?
my name is jon to :’)
@TheStarToad500 Yes. You should check out the Gamebridge, which is a USB device that you plug your A/V cables into, and it records video straight to your computer. I’ve never tried one, but I’ve heard some great reviews about it.
Hey what do you think of any “Sony Bloggie” series? -Frankie
well is there any cameras i can record my gaming with without any black lines on those tvs?
your a bitch
Thanks alot i almost bought a flip now i ordered a ELPH 310 HS
whats your opinion on the SONY NEX VG20? I was about to buy the VG10 until I heard about the VG20. the vg10 had great reviews. I was about to buy the VG20 but there are a good amount of mixed reviews about it. Looking for a camera that does a little bit of everything. I like the exchangeable lenses and that it takes photos along with video. opinions?
