If you’re looking to get into content creation, or given the deal here, upgrade your content, then good equipment is a must. While it’s always wise to sort out your audio first, at least for most kinds of videos, a good camera is a must as well. If you’re aiming to get outdoors and make the most of the big wide world in your videos, then you’ll want a powerful portable one.

Say Cheese

This camera looks simple, and is a handheld one which you can easily keep trained on your face. It has an impressive 19mm wide-angle lens which can take in a lot of the scenery around you while also keeping you in focus thanks to the face detection. It just means that you’ll always be the focal point, which is always important if you’re looking to put up YouTube videos, but also if you’re just trying to make the world’s best home videos too.

It even has a built-in microphone to make sure you can be heard over the noise around you. It has a built-in stand as well, so you can set it up when you decide to sit down and make more relaxed videos than the ones you’d end up with if you were holding it throughout. It has image stabilization as well, so you don’t need surgeon-level hands to get a steady video. It records in absurdly high quality too, with 4K video at 30 frames per second, or HD video at 60 frames per second if you want it to be a bit smoother, and you can add a color filter too.
