The Ultimate Vlogging Guide | Nikon

Want to start vlogging with Nikon cameras? You’ve got plenty of choice in the mirrorless Nikon Z system, with everything from beginner-friendly APS-C models to powerful full-frame cameras capable of achieving professional-quality results. There are also lots of terrific Nikon vlogging lenses available, so we’ve put together this guide to help you craft your ideal setup for vlogging on Nikon.

We’ve kept this guide to Nikon’s newer mirrorless Z system. While the range of Nikon F-mount DSLRs of course includes a number of cracking cameras, we reckon that vloggers specifically are going to get much better bang for their buck with the Z system. The fact that you can easily mount F-mount lenses onto Z-mount cameras via the FTZ adapter and still get full functionality of features like autofocus and stabilisation pretty much seals the deal.

So, without further ado, here is how to get started vlogging with Nikon.

Best Nikon vlogging cameras

The Ultimate vlogging guide Nikon cameras

Rather than overwhelming you with a huge list of cameras (many of which wouldn’t really be that suited to vlogging, if we’re being honest), we’ve kept this list to just three Nikon cameras we reckon are well-suited to the vlogger. We’ve got an affordable option for beginners and a camera that sits slightly more in the mid-range – both of which use APS-C sensors. Finally, for those who want the luxurious quality of a larger sensor, we’ve included a full-frame Nikon camera for vlogging.

Best Nikon vlogging camera for beginners: Nikon Z30

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
20.9MP APS-C sensor
Nikon Z lens mount (DX)
4K 30p, Full HD 120p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, USB-C

This is the Nikon Z vlogging camera. While it’s very similar to Nikon’s other APS-C mirrorless cameras (which we’ll come onto shortly), the Nikon Z30 has been designed from the ground up for the vlogging market, much like Sony’s ZV cameras. As such, it’s got a fully articulating LCD screen that can flip-out sideways, and does away with a viewfinder for a more lightweight build.

The Nikon Z30 shoots 4K video at up to 30p – gloriously uncropped, using the full width of the sensor, which makes it easier to get the wide angle of view that’s useful for vlogging. It has plenty of external physical buttons and controls, many of which can be customised to the user’s preferred functions, and there’s a 3.5mm input for attaching an external mic. There’s no headphone output sadly, but otherwise, the Z30 really does tick a lot of boxes for vloggers. One thing to note though is that there’s no sensor-based stabilisation, so you may want to invest in a gimbal if you’re going to be doing a lot of run-and-gun filming.

Nikon’s video autofocus generally performs pretty well, with solid Face and Eye detection. There’s also the handy option to shoot in Nikon’s ‘Flat’ colour profile, with low contrast and low saturation, designed to maximise dynamic range for greater ease in colour grading. This isn’t quite a Log profile, but it’s a simple, easier-to-handle equivalent that is realistically going to be good enough for a lot of vloggers – many of whom are more concerned with being able to process video efficiently than they are with spending hours getting the colour grade exactly right.

As an APS-C Nikon Z camera, the Z30 shares the same issue all its siblings do – the fact that there are relatively few crop-sensor lenses for the system. There are a few good ones for vloggers, which we’ve listed in our lens section further down this post. However, we would like to see this range expanded with more options as the system continues to mature.

Pros:

Lightweight, affordable camera
Excellent 4K 30p video uses full width of sensor
Good control layout with customisable buttons

Cons:

No headphone output
Limited lens selection

Best Nikon vlogging camera with a viewfinder: Nikon Z fc

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
20.9MP APS-C sensor
Nikon Z lens mount (DX)
4K 30p, Full HD 120p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, USB-C

In many ways, the Nikon Z fc is a very similar prospect to the Nikon Z30. It uses a 20.9MP APS-C sensor, and also sports a flip-out LCD screen that’s useful for vlogging. This is the key difference between these two cameras and their third APS-C stablemate, the Nikon Z50, which only has a tilting screen. So, why might one opt for the Nikon Z fc rather than the cheaper Z30?

The first big difference is that the Nikon Z fc offers an electronic viewfinder, whereas the Nikon Z30 does not. Yes, we’re all told that vloggers don’t care about viewfinders, and that’s why the Z30 doesn’t have one. But there are many reasons you might at least want the option to use a viewfinder instead of solely relying on the LCD screen. If you shoot stills in addition to video, or incorporate stills into your vlogging in some way (e.g. you vlog about photography), then you’ll appreciate having a viewfinder – and even some pure vloggers prefer to use one from time to time!

With a retro SLR-styled body and plenty of manual controls, the Nikon Z fc is an intuitive and satisfying camera to operate. Like the Z30, it also has a high-speed USB-C connection that can be used for hot-charging or streaming.

While the Z30 offers better value for money for pure vloggers and beginners, the Nikon Z fc has a lot to recommend on its own terms, and is especially well-suited to hybrid creators who mix in a little photography with their vlogging.

Pros:

Stylish design with great control layout
Electronic viewfinder
Flip-out screen

Cons:

Pricier than Z30, and offers identical video quality

Best full-frame Nikon vlogging camera: Nikon Z6 II

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
24MP full-frame sensor
Nikon Z lens mount (FX)
4K 30p (4K 60p with crop), Full HD 120p
Ports: Mini HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, 3.5mm headphone output, USB-C

One of Nikon’s more affordable full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Nikon Z6 II offers an all-rounder feature set with plenty to tempt the serious vlogger. It shoots clean and punchy 4K 30p video, which can be bumped up to 4K 60p if you don’t mind a minor crop. One thing we also like is how intelligently the settings are laid out, with stills and video nicely separated. It’s an easy camera to pick up and use.

If you’re an outdoor or travel vlogger, you’ll appreciate the Z6 II’s weather-resistant body, constructed from magnesium alloy with rubberised coverings to protect the ports. The mini HDMI (more robust than micro HDMI but not quite as bulky as full-size) allows for hooking up an external recorder, which introduces more options such as capturing 10-bit footage. Having sockets for both headphones and a microphone is very welcome, as are the dual card slots with CFexpress and UHS-II SD compatibility.

Unlike the APS-C models, the Nikon Z6 II benefits from 5-axis in-body stabilisation, which is fantastic for keeping footage smooth while shooting handheld on the move. The video autofocus is fast and responsive, even when the light gets low, and the Z6 II benefits from Eye and Face Detection modes.

Something we should acknowledge – no, the Z6 II does not have a fully articulating screen that can be flipped around to face the front. This is just a fact of life with full-frame Nikon Z cameras. You can argue that Nikon missed a bit of a trick given how well-specced the Z6 II is for video, but in any case, it’s not necessarily a deal-breaker – it’s not like anyone was going to be holding this full-frame camera at arm’s length to record themselves.

Otherwise, the Z6 II provides a pretty optimal balance between performance and price in the Nikon full-frame range. Any of the more expensive models like the Z7 II, Z8 or Z9 would mostly just give you a load of features that as a vlogger you probably don’t need, and the cheaper Z5 is really a stills-oriented camera, hampered for vloggers by its single card slot, vicious 4K crop and pernicious rolling shutter.

Best Nikon vlogging lenses

The Ultimate vlogging guide Nikon lenses

Whether you’re shooting full-frame or APS-C, the Nikon Z system has plenty of lenses to kit yourself out with for vlogging. If you’re going to be shooting in different locations and situations, then you’ll probably want at least one standard zoom and one fast prime to cover yourself for all eventualities. We’ve picked out a selection here, with options for all different budgets.

Nikon Z 12-28mm f3.5-5.6 DX PZ VR

This Power Zoom lens is designed for DX-format (APS-C) cameras like the Z30 and Z fc. It provides an equivalent focal range of 18-42mm, providing a wide enough perspective for vlogging purposes, and the Power Zoom functionality means that zoom transitions are smooth, and can be triggered remotely. The optical design of the lens includes extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements, ensuring top-notch sharpness throughout the zoom range

Nikon Z 16-50mm f3.5-6.3 DX VR

This capable lens for DX-format cameras is equipped with Nikon’s stabilisation technology, Vibration Reduction (VR). Given the fact that Nikon Z APS-C cameras don’t have built-in stabilisation, this can be a real lifesaver in a handheld shooting situation. The Nikon Z 16-50mm f3.5-6.3 DX VR is a slim ‘pancake’ lens that adds very little footprint to your camera, and it focuses quickly and quietly. The maximum aperture drops quite sharply as you zoom in – but as a vlogger, you’ll probably mostly be favouring the wide end anyway.

Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 S

You can’t go wrong with a nifty fifty. The Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 S is a cut above some of the cheaper 50mm primes available for other mounts – as evidenced by its status as an ‘S’ lens, which is the letter Nikon uses to denote its premium optics. However, this fast prime is still fairly reasonably priced, and makes for a terrific all-purpose lens to deliver a naturalistic shooting perspective. If you’re a travel vlogger, this is a useful lens to have in your back pocket, especially if you’re going to be shooting in low light.

Nikon 24-120mm f4 G AF-S ED VR

Remember – you don’t have to be restricted to native Z-mount lenses! The Nikon F-mount system offers a number of fantastic lenses that can be picked up at a great price, particularly if you’re willing to shop second-hand. The Nikon FTZ adapter allows these lenses to be used in most cases with full functionality of stabilisation and autofocus. One of our favourites from the older system is this versatile zoom, which runs the gamut from wide 24mm to a telephoto 120mm, and is ideal for shooting in situations where you don’t know what to expect. The optical quality is also top-notch, with absolutely superb edge-to-edge performance right the way through that zoom range.

Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S

This professional S-line zoom lens delivers absolutely superb performance from edge to edge, just as you’d expect. The Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S pairs brilliantly with the Z6 II for outstanding full-frame imagery, and its weather-sealed body is also protected from dust and moisture. The control ring is customisable, so you can set it to your preferred function, and with a minimum focus distance of 38cm, it’s a great lens for getting in close.

The Ultimate Vlogging Guide | Sony

With a dedicated line of cameras built entirely around making vlogging easy, Sony is making no secret of courting the YouTube generation. Whether you want to shoot on a fixed-lens compact, a lightweight APS-C mirrorless camera or a pro-spec full-frame mirrorless model, Sony’s vlogging range has options for you. We’ve put together this guide to help you find the right one.

We’ve also looked at the best Sony vlogging lenses, for both APS-C and full-frame cameras, to help you put together your perfect vlogging setup. We’ve made sure to factor in price when making our picks, as we’re aware that many vloggers are operating on quite a tight budget. So, whether you’re starting fresh on a vlogging journey, or are looking to upgrade your kit to the next level, here’s all the best Sony kit to buy…

Best Sony vlogging cameras

While Sony’s various mirrorless and compact cameras have been popular with vloggers for a considerable amount of time, since 2020 the firm has been explicitly targeting this type of user with an entirely separate line of cameras. The ZV series – initially also known as the ZV Vlog cameras, though this naming convention has mostly been dropped – comprises a selection of compacts and mirrorless cameras specifically designed to appeal to vloggers.

The ZV cameras aren’t a radical departure from Sony’s previous cameras; the mirrorless models still use the E mount, so you’ve still got a huge selection of lenses to play with. They are more a refinement of the form, offering a suite of video options with useful features like built-in three-capsule microphones, real-time Eye AF and fully articulated LCD screens.

Here are our picks for the Sony vlogging cameras to buy right now…

Best beginner vlogging camera: Sony ZV-1F

Key specs:

Compact camera
20.1MP 1-inch sensor
20mm (equivalent) f/2 lens
4K 30p, Full HD 100/120p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, USB-C

The Sony ZV-1F is the cheapest member of the ZV family, and is the ideal platform for a beginner vlogger to learn the ropes. It’s a compact camera, meaning it has a fixed lens, and it pairs a 20.1MP 1-inch sensor with a 20mm equivalent f/2 lens, giving you a nice and wide perspective that’s ideal for general-purpose vlogging. It shoots 4K at 30p, and Full HD at up to 120p, which is pretty much what you’d expect for a camera at this price point.

The appeal of the ZV-1F lies in how easy it is to use. Sony’s obvious priority with this model is making vlogging as simple as possible, and there are tons of features designed to help you out while shooting. Sony’s peerless Eye Autofocus is one of the stars of the show here, able to doggedly lock focus on a person’s eyes while shooting and ensuring a human subject never drifts out of focus. Sony’s Face-detection and tracking is also second to none.

Slim but solidly built, the ZV-1F is a camera that’s easy to take everywhere with you. It’s the kind of camera you can just pull from your pocket and start recording within seconds. There are plenty of obvious, clearly labelled buttons on the body for activating different settings. Digital stabilisation is also available for shooting handheld on the move, though this will crop into your footage – it’d be better to use the camera with a gimbal if your budget allows.

Though the ZV-1 II has a prime lens, you’ll notice a zoom rocker on the front. This activates a 5x digital zoom function, which while best used sparingly, will allow you to get a little closer to a subject when necessary. There’s a port for a mic as well, though the built-in mics do a pretty decent job. While the ZV-1F is quite a simple proposition, it’s a very effective and usable starter vlogging camera.

Pros:

Easy to pick up and use
Good quality from 1-inch sensor and 20mm lens
Exceptional Eye AF and Face Detection
Digital stabilisation works well

Cons:

Digital zoom only
No built-in ND filter

Best vlogging camera with zoom lens: Sony ZV-1 II

Key specs:

Compact camera
20MP 1-inch sensor
18-50mm (equivalent) f/1.8-4.0 lens
4K 30p, Full HD 100/120p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, USB-C

As you might expect from the name, the Sony ZV-1 II is the second iteration of the original ZV-1 camera – which was the first to arrive in the new vlogging line. According to Sony, the main piece of feedback that video shooters offered with regard to the first ZV-1 was that they wished its 24-70mm equivalent lens could go just a little wider. And lo, Sony waved its hand, and it was so – the Sony ZV-1 II is equipped with an 18-50mm equivalent lens, hitting a wider focal length that’s handy for general-purpose vlogging.

At that wide end, you can also take advantage of the f/1.8 maximum aperture for low-light shooting and working with shallow depth of field. This is great to have – just be aware that it does drop precipitously once you start to zoom in, reaching f/4 by the time you’re at 50mm. Elsewhere, this tiny camera makes for a superb vlogging companion – it’s barely the size of a pack of cards, and delivers video quality that’s a demonstrable step up from that of a smartphone. The three-capsule mic once again impresses, delivering audio quality good enough that you’re unlikely to want to increase the footprint of the tiny ZV-1 II by attaching a mic (though, of course, you can).

Elsewhere, Sony has also added an improved touchscreen that’s extremely intuitive to use. Autofocus algorithms have been tweaked for peak performance, and users can also take advantage of the Cinematic Vlog modes to create share-worthy clips straight out of camera.

Pros:

Useful wide-angle zoom lens
Great video and audio quality
Very slim, pocketable dimensions

Cons:

Max aperture drops at tele end of lens
Doesn’t zoom in as far as original ZV-1

Best mirrorless vlogging camera: Sony ZV-E10

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
24MP APS-C sensor
Sony E lens mount
4K 30p, Full HD 120p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, 3.5mm headphone output, USB-C

Once the ZV compacts started arriving, it didn’t take long for vloggers to start wondering when we were going to get a mirrorless entry into the ZV series. That wish was handsomely granted with the ZV-E10 – a capable, lightweight mirrorless vlogging camera, essentially modelled on the Sony A6100 but stuffed with features designed to appeal to vloggers.

The addition of a vari-angle, freely moving LCD screen is a big one, making it much easier to flip the screen to face forward for self-taping without interfering with tripods, microphones or other accessories. Like all ZV cameras, the ZV-E10 also includes a built-in three-capsule microphone (and comes with a clip-on windshield accessory), significantly improving the quality of recorded audio. To bump it up still further, you can also use the 3.5mm port to attach an external mic.

A lightweight and well-balanced camera, the ZV-E10 is well suited to one-handed use and balances nicely with E-mount lenses (see the bottom of this post for our recommendations of lenses to pair with it). Once again, Sony’s autofocus proves itself as one of the best systems in the business. Eye AF, as ever, is unerringly good, and the Face Detection acquits itself well. Video quality is consistently excellent, with 4K topping out at 30p, and we also like that the ZV-E10 provides the option to livestream.

Well priced and simple to use, the Sony ZV-E10 is one of the best mid-range vlogging cameras around, and will suit anyone who wants the convenience of a ZV compact camera, but with the flexibility of interchangeable lenses.

Pros:

Lightweight and portable
Loads of E-mount lenses available
Excellent autofocus, as ever

Cons:

No built-in stabilisation

Best full-frame vlogging camera: Sony ZV-E1

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
12MP full-frame sensor
Sony FE lens mount
4K 120p, Full HD 240p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, 3.5mm headphone output, USB-C

The Sony ZV-E1 was something of a surprise on release, and certainly sticks out in the ZV line-up – not least because it’s more than double the price of any of the other models in the series. It’s certainly going to be more than most casual vloggers need, but for those looking for a professional, fully equipped vlogging camera, the full-frame ZV-E1 will fit the bill exactly.

While it looks like a ZV camera – and bears the name – the ZV-E1 inherits a lot of its tech from Sony’s professional Alpha and cinema cameras. The 12MP full-frame back-side illuminated CMOS sensor is borrowed from the FX3 and A7S III, and given that the ZV-E1 also shares the BIONZ XR image processor, it follows that it’s just as much of a beast in low light. With an extended ISO ceiling of 409,600, the ZV-E1 can more or less turn night into day.

Video quality is all around excellent, with 4K available at up to 120p, and most modes supporting 10-bit colour sampling at 4:2:0 or 4:2:2. Sony’s flat Log profile is available for those who like to maximise dynamic range before colour grading their footage in post. However, if you want to speed things up a bit, we quite like S-Cinetone, a pre-graded profile that gives you good-looking footage straight out of camera.

So, if the Sony ZV-E1 inherits the guts of pro cameras like the A7S III and FX3, and is a good deal cheaper, you might be wondering what has been cut out to make that possible? There are a few features missing – the first one you’d notice just from looking at the body is the lack of an electronic viewfinder; Sony is making the bet that vloggers won’t need it. There’s also no option to shoot RAW video, and the FX3 is more geared towards professional cinema use with a supplied handle equipped with XLR inputs. Again, Sony is betting that most vloggers won’t miss these features – and we think they might just be right.

Pros:

Superb low-light capabilities
Cine-quality features for a great price
Effective stabilisation and autofocus

Cons:

At the expensive end for vlogging cameras

Best Sony vlogging lenses

If you’re opting for a Sony mirrorless camera for vlogging, you’ll need to pick up a lens or two to go along with it. The Sony E-mount has a considerable advantage over mirrorless rivals like Canon and Nikon in that it has simply been around quite a bit longer, so there’s a lot of choice out there. Here are our picks of Sony vlogging lenses to get you started, whether you’re shooting on full-frame or APS-C.

Sony E 11mm f/1.8

This wide-angle lens for APS-C camera is specifically pitched towards vloggers. Delivering an equivalent focal length of 16.5mm due to the crop factor of APS-C sensors, this lens sits pretty much perfectly in the focal range for general-purpose vlogging and doing pieces to camera. Its wide f/1.8 maximum aperture also lets you make the most of available light and experiment with shallow depth of field. With two linear stepping motors, the autofocus is quick, efficient and virtually silent, and the lens delivers impressive edge-to-edge sharpness even when used wide open at f/1.8

Be aware that the lack of built-in stabilisation may be an issue if you pair the Sony E 11mm f/1.8 with a camera that also doesn’t have stabilisation, such as the ZV-E10.

Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G

A full-frame prime delivering a wide field of view, the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G borrows its dual Linear XD motors from the premium G Master lens series (more on which further down), meaning it offers exceptionally fast focusing action. With a nine-bladed aperture, the FE 20mm f/1.8 G lets you make the most of its f/1.8 aperture for beautiful bokeh in the defocused areas of images.

Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 G PZ

Power Zoom (PZ) lenses are specifically optimised for video. The term means that the zooming function of the lens is powered and controlled electronically by a series of linear motors, rather than by the operator physically turning the lens. This is particularly useful for video for a number of reasons – it allows for smooth zoom movements without the jerkiness often introduced by manual movements, and it means the zoom mechanism can be triggered remotely – great for vloggers who are operating solo. The Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 G PZ also offers built-in stabilisation, edge-to-edge quality and a moisture-resistant build, making it a terrific all-around zoom for vloggers on E-mount.

Sony E 10-20mm f/4 G PZ

This Power Zoom lens is built for Sony’s APS-C cameras – meaning it’s super-compact, and balances very well on smaller cameras. The Power Zoom mechanism itself is not just beautifully smooth, but also entirely internal, so the balance of the lens doesn’t change when it zooms in and out. Focusing action is reliably fast. The Sony E 10-20mm f/4 G PZ is also well-suited to outdoor shooting, with a dust- and moisture-resistant design. For travel vloggers, this lens is definitely worth picking up.

Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 G Master

For a premium vlogging lens to make the most of high-end cameras like the ZV-E1, you can’t go wrong with a G Master. These are Sony’s top-flight lenses, delivering optical brilliance in a robust, professional-standard body. The best bet for vloggers is the Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 G Master, a truly optically stunning lens that delivers a superb image from corner to corner. With an f/1.4 maximum aperture, it’s well equipped for low light, too.

The Ultimate Vlogging Guide | Fujifilm

If you want to start vlogging on Fujifilm kit, you’ve got an embarrassment of riches to choose from. While Fujifilm is generally more popular among photographers for its retro-styled cameras with dial-led controls, the X series offers a number of cameras that are also great for video, including multiple models that are specifically tailored to vloggers. This guide is here to help you find the right ones for you.

Fujifilm X-mount cameras all use APS-C sensors – smaller than full-frame, and significantly larger than the sensors found in smartphones. They tend to sit in the mid-range; there aren’t really any ultra-cheap beginner Fujifilm cameras, and there also aren’t any that cost as much as the top-tier flagships from the likes of Canon, Nikon or Sony. With that said, there’s plenty of variability in the series, so here we’ve nominated a range of excellent Fujifilm vlogging cameras and lenses for a range of budgets…

Best Fujifilm vlogging cameras

The Ultimate vlogging guide Fuji cameras — Best Fujifilm vlogging cameras

There are a fair few Fujifilm X-mount cameras, and many are tailored to quite specific purposes. For vlogging therefore, it pays to do a little research and make sure you get hold of one that’s going to give you all the features you need. Here are the Fujifilm X cameras we’d recommend for vlogging right now – including budget and second-hand options as well as the top-tier models.

Best Fujifilm vlogging camera overall: Fujifilm X-S20

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
26.1MP Fujifilm X-Trans IV APS-C sensor
Fujifilm X lens mount
6.2K 30p, 4K 60p, Full HD 240p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, 3.5mm headphone output, USB-C

A long-awaited update that arrived in 2023, the Fujifilm X-S20 is unquestionably the best Fujifilm camera for vloggers right now. There are more affordable options available, and there are cameras with more advanced video features, but in terms of the balance it strikes between performance and price, as well as the range of video options it puts at the user’s fingertips, it’s the best you can buy.

The X-S20 has a simplified design compared to other Fujifilm cameras, with fewer of the distinctive dials that characterise the firm’s photo-focused offerings. This has helped keep the weight of the X-S20 down – at 490g, it’s not going to feel like a brick around your neck, and it’s generally a good camera for keeping out of the way. It has a fully articulating screen that flips around to the side, and a 3.5mm input for attaching a mic. All music to the vlogger’s ears.

Of course, all this was also true of the previous X-S10, which arrived in 2020. What marks the X-S20 out is its upgraded video capability. Whereas the previous camera could shoot 4K video, the X-S20 captures glorious 6.2K 30p video in 4:2:2 10-bit format, using the full, uncropped width of its sensor. There’s also the option to shoot in Fujifilm’s flat F-Log profile, and if you hook up an external recorder, the X-S20 can also output Apple ProRes RAW or Blackmagic RAW. This is an impressive suite of options for a camera at this price.

The main dial of the camera has a specific ‘Vlog’ setting, which activates a dedicated vlogging mode designed to put all the relevant key functions at the user’s fingertips. You’ll have immediate access to the stabilisation, the eye/face detection, high-speed recording, and specialist modes like ‘Product Priority’, which will make the autofocus prioritise objects held towards the camera.

Pros:

High-end suite of video options
Impressive stabilisation
Improved battery life

Cons:

Not weather sealed

Best affordable Fujifilm vlogging camera: Fujifilm X-S10

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
26.1MP Fujifilm X-Trans IV APS-C sensor
Fujifilm X lens mount
4K 30p, Full HD 240p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, USB-C

While this is the previous generation of Fujifilm’s vlogging camera, the X-S10 is still a highly capable mirrorless option for vloggers, especially if your budget doesn’t quite stretch to the X-S20. You’ll make a good three-figure saving if you opt for the X-S10, and it can be bought as part of a vlogger’s kit with a lens, miniature tripod, SD card and shotgun microphone. No one could argue with a setup like that for a prospective vlogger.

The X-S10 was one of the first Fujifilm cameras to offer built-in stabilisation, and while it isn’t up to the standards of subsequent systems (including the one on the X-S20), it still works pretty well and will make you much more mobile as a vlogger. Video quality is as excellent as you’d expect given that this camera shares its sensor with a bunch of other premium Fujifilm X cameras. The 4K 30p footage looks great – some vloggers might wish they had 4K 60p, but that’s the kind of sacrifice you make when buying a cheaper camera that’s a few years old. We suspect a lot of vloggers will be able to get by without it.

The X-S10 lets you plug in a mic, and also offers USB-C connectivity as well as a micro HDMI port. There’s also an option to adapt a pair of headphones to the USB-C port if desired for audio monitoring. One thing to note is that the body is not weather-sealed, so you will need to be careful in wet conditions. Though bear in mind that the X-S20 isn’t either (some users were surprised Fujifilm neglected to add this upgrade in the sequel).

While the price hasn’t come down perhaps as much as you’d expect for a camera that’s three years old with an updated version also on the shelves, that’s a testament to the X-S10’s enduring popularity and how much Fujifilm got right with this design. It’s a terrific camera for vloggers (if you can live without 4K 60p).

Pros:

Excellent video quality from X-Trans sensor
Fully articulated screen and mic socket
In-body stabilisation

Cons:

No weather-sealing
Tops out at 4K 30p

Best second-hand Fujifilm vlogging camera: Fujifilm X-T200

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
24MP APS-C sensor
Fujifilm X lens mount
4K 30p, Full HD 120p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, USB-C

The Fujifilm X-T200 is an entry-level mirrorless camera. It’s now discontinued, which is a shame as Fujifilm doesn’t have many cameras down the low end of the price scale, but the good news is that you can pick it up relatively cheaply on the second-hand market, and it makes for a solid starting point for vlogging.

The first X-T100 is even cheaper, but it was something of a misfire with a few key features missing, and for a vlogger, we’d say it’s definitely worth getting this upgraded version. The X-T200 can shoot 4K 30p video (it was 4K 15p on the X-T100), it has a large 3.5-inch 16:9 rear LCD display that’s high-resolution and fully articulating, and it even offers the ability to trim video clips in-camera. The X-T200 boasts a deep grip that feels secure and comfortable in the hand, and the autofocus offers Face and Eye detection modes. All good stuff.

This entry-level series is notable for using a standard 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor rather than the flagship X-Trans sensors that are featured in Fujifilm’s premium cameras – though it still does an excellent job, and at low-ish resolutions like these the differences aren’t going to be too pronounced. A feature you might miss more as a vlogger is optical stabilisation, which the X-T200 doesn’t have. There is a digital ‘gyroscope’ that’s supposed to help stabilise footage, though it doesn’t really hold a candle to a proper IBIS system – and in any case, it doesn’t work in 4K.

The X-T200 is a capable vlogging camera, if slightly limited. For the second-hand prices it’s currently commanding, it represents solid value for money, and makes for an enticing gateway drug for the X series.

Pros:

Good value for money
Large, sharp, articulating rear screen
Lightweight and portable

Cons:

No optical stabilisation
Battery life not the best (though can be topped up via USB-C)

Best Fujifilm camera for videography: Fujifilm X-H2S

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
26MP X-Trans APS-C stacked sensor
Fujifilm X lens mount
6.2K 30p, 4K 60p (120p with crop), Full HD 240p
Ports: HDMI, 3.5 mic inputs, 3.5 headphone output, USB-C

The Fujifilm X-H2S is the manufacturer’s most advanced video camera right now – as well as, frankly, possibly the most advanced APS-C cameras ever made. Equipped with a stacked and backside-illuminated 26MP APS-C sensor, it’s a true hybrid of a camera, capable of blistering photo speeds and sublime video quality.

Let’s get the spec out of the way – the Fujifilm X-H2S can capture 6.2K video at 30p, as well as 4K and Full HD at a variety of high frame rates, and it can do it all in 4:2:2 10-bit colour. The full-size HDMI port can be used to output Apple ProRes RAW or Blackmagic RAW, and there’s the option to shoot in Fujifilm’s flat F-Log profile for up to 14 stops of dynamic range. The X-H2S also has the must-have feature of cameras from the past few years – subject-detection autofocus that can automatically recognise and lock onto specific subjects like humans and animals. What’s more, this can be used in video recording mode.

Video recording times have been a stumbling block for more than a few high-flying mirrorless cameras over the past few years – if a camera can’t go for more than 20 minutes without overheating, is it a tool fit for a professional? Fujifilm negotiates the X-H2S around this with an optional (sold separately) accessory, the FAN-001. Attaching to the back of the camera in the slot left vacant by the folded out LCD screen, the cooling fan allows you to keep recording for longer, even in high ambient temperatures. Is it a particularly sleek or stylish arrangement? No, it is not. But it works!

The Fujifilm X-H2S is one of the most expensive APS-C cameras ever made, and is probably out of budget for most vloggers. Unless you really need the features it’s offering, you don’t need to spend this much money. However, if you’re looking for the best Fujifilm video shooter money can currently buy, then here it is.

Pros:

Superb high-resolution footage
Can extend recording times with use of fan accessory
Subject-detection autofocus works in video mode

Cons:

Expensive for APS-C

Best Fujifilm vlogging lenses

Though Fujifilm’s X cameras are truly excellent pieces of kit, there’s an argument to be made that the real strength of the system is in its lenses. Fujifilm’s X-mount lens system is not the most well-populated out there, but has gained a reputation for housing a stunning range of primes and zooms for all kinds of shooters. Fuji has a particularly strong line in producing lenses that produce fantastic bokeh at shallow depths of field, with lenses full of character and expression. Here are our picks for vloggers…

Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR

This capable zoom lens is an absolute standout. If you can only buy one lens for vlogging on Fujifilm, we’d say make it the Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR. Running an equivalent focal gamut from 24mm to 120mm, it’s a versatile zoom that will do an excellent job in just about any shooting situation. The optical stabilisation is class-leading, and the sophisticated optical construction delivers premium sharpness; field curvature and aberration are exceptionally well-controlled throughout the zoom range. Focusing is fast and near-silent, and the lens is pretty reasonably priced to boot. Not sure what to buy? Start here.

Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f4 R OIS WR

The APS-C format of the X series means that genuinely wide lenses are in short supply, so this wide-angle zoom is definitely worth considering for vloggers. Intelligently designed with a sophisticated optical construction of 14 elements in 10 groups, the Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f4 R OIS WR produces terrific image quality with great control of aberration and distortion. It’s thoroughly weather resistant with a tough outer chassis, and also has effective built-in stabilisation for run-and-gun filming.

Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f2.8 R LM WR

An enduringly popular lens among Fujifilm enthusiasts, the Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f2.8 R LM WR delivers a generous zoom range with a constant aperture of f/2.8 running right the way through it. This means you have real compositional flexibility even when the light gets low, and can achieve aesthetically pleasing shallow depth-of-field effects. Hardy and weatherproof, this is a solid choice of lens for travel vloggers.

Fujifilm XF 33mm f1.4 R LM WR

A gorgeous, well-balanced prime lens, the Fujifilm XF 33mm f1.4 R LM WR produces a field of view roughly equivalent to that of a 50mm lens mounted onto a full-frame camera, and as such, it’s great for general-purpose vlogging where you want a naturalistic perspective. It’s a cut above the kinds of cheap nifty fifties that are commonly available for most systems, both in terms of its optical quality and its f/1.4 maximum aperture that gives you a little more latitude in low light. The bokeh is, of course, gorgeous – this is Fujifilm, after all.

The Ultimate Vlogging Guide | Best Cameras For Vloggers

Welcome to Fixation’s guide to the best cameras for vloggers! If you’re looking to start vlogging, one of the first things to figure out is what camera you’re going to use. You can of course use a smartphone for vlogging – and many people do. However, a dedicated vlogging camera confers all sorts of advantages, both in terms of the quality of your footage and the ergonomics of your setup.

Best Cameras For Vloggers 2024 — Best Cameras For Vloggers

At Fixation, we repair, sell and lend out cameras of all different types and sizes, including many that are perfectly suited to vlogging. For this guide, our team of technical experts has picked out the cameras we feel offer vloggers the best value for money, providing a demonstrable advantage over shooting on a phone.

Whether it’s a larger sensor for better low-light performance, an interchangeable lens mount for shooting flexibility or any of the other standout features of the cameras on this list, any of these models will form the backbone of a brilliant vlogging setup. So, without further ado, let’s get into the best vlogging camera to buy, starting with a fantastic option for beginners…

Best vlogging camera for beginners: Canon PowerShot V10

Key specs:

Compact camera
20MP 1-inch sensor
19mm (equivalent) f/2.8 lens
4K 30p, Full HD 60p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, USB-C

We’ve been really impressed by the pocketable Canon PowerShot V10 since its release in 2023, and if you’re looking for your first camera for YouTube, it’s an excellent place to start. It’s a compact camera, but as you may have already clocked, it doesn’t look like a typical example of the genre. Its slim, oblong body lacks a handgrip, there’s no top-plate loaded with buttons and dials. What’s going on?

The answer is that Canon has created a vlogging camera by going back to the drawing board and thinking about what vloggers and YouTubers actually need. And so, while the end result could use some refinement in places, it’s much more usable for quick, day-to-day vlogging than many cameras that cost considerably more. The slim body and flip-around screen make it perfect for filming yourself one-handed, while the built-in stand means you can set it up on a desk or other flat surface within seconds. The 19mm equivalent lens gives you a nice, wide perspective that’s exceedingly useful for general-purpose filming.

Video-wise, the PowerShot V10 shoots at a maximum resolution of 4K 30p, which is pretty standard for cameras at this level. Supposedly it can record continuously for up to an hour, though if you’re in a warm environment you may find yourself running into overheating issues before that time limit is up. There’s no optical stabilisation, but there is a digital stabilisation system available for shooting on the move.

The PowerShot V10 isn’t perfect, but it’s a hugely promising concept, and the ergonomics of it make a lot more sense for the beginner vlogger than a lot of more conventionally designed cameras. For a simple, affordable and easy-to-use vlogging camera, this is definitely recommended.

Best vlogging camera with a zoom lens: Sony ZV-1 II

Key specs:

Compact camera
20MP 1-inch sensor
18-50mm (equivalent) f/1.8-4.0 lens
4K 30p, Full HD 100/120p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, USB-C

Sony’s ‘ZV’ cameras represent the manufacturer’s dedicated vlogging range. While Sony E-mount mirrorless and compact cameras have been excellent options for video for a very long time now, the more recently introduced ZV models are specifically tailored to vloggers and YouTubers – offering extensive, flexible video functionality for a comparatively affordable price.

The Sony ZV-1 II is a compact camera equipped with an 18-50mm equivalent zoom lens, giving you a solid level of shooting flexibility. At the wide end of the lens, there’s an f/1.8 maximum aperture – this is especially useful for shooting with a shallow depth of field to throw out the background and keep the viewer’s focus on your main subject. Also, while the ZV-1 II has a 3.5mm socket to attach an external mic, its built-in three-capsule mic does a credible job, and will definitely be good enough for anyone whose beginning vlogging budget doesn’t have room for a mic.

With a slim body and a rubberised grip, the Sony ZV-1 II fits nicely in the hand and is easy to use. It also has a much better touchscreen interface than the original ZV-1, with quick access to key features and shooting menus. Even if you’re never used a camera before, the ZV-1 II is relatively easy to get to grips with, which counts for a lot in a beginner vlogging model.

There’s no optical stabilisation on the ZV-1 II, though Sony’s ‘Active’ electronic stabilisation is available to help smooth out footage a little. A better solution, if your budget allows, might be to pick up Sony’s GP-VPT2BT wireless shooting grip, which provides additional stability.

Best mirrorless vlogging camera: Nikon Z30

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
20.9MP APS-C sensor
Nikon Z lens mount (DX)
4K 30p, Full HD 120p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, USB-C

The clever little Nikon Z30 is the vlogging-oriented member of Nikon’s larger Z-mount mirrorless family. If you have an interest in vlogging on Nikon kit, it’s unquestionably the best camera to start with. With a flip-around screen, sensibly laid-out controls, a pocketable body and an APS-C sensor that offers consistently excellent video quality, it’ll do everything you need and more.

The Nikon Z mount on the Z30 gives you access to some absolutely sublime lenses. The Z30 also has a stereo microphone built into its top plate for decent audio straight out of camera – though serious vloggers will probably want to spring for an external mic and plug it in via the 3.5mm mic input. It shoots 4K video at up to 30p using the full width of its sensor – even the Sony ZV-E10, probably this camera’s closest rival, has to crop in a little to do the same.

The buttons and controls on the camera are customisable, meaning a little investment of time setting them up can allow you to get the camera working just the way you want it to. You also have plenty of internal shooting options too, with Nikon’s ‘Flat’ profile providing low contrast and low saturation in order to maximise flexibility when you come to colour grade your footage. It’s essentially a simpler alternative to Sony’s Log profiles, and as such may be quite tempting for vloggers who are starting to dip their toes into colour grading.

Overall, the Nikon Z30 is a well-priced and capable mirrorless camera that’s been cleverly designed to appeal to vloggers. It’s a great first step into one of the most exciting mirrorless systems on the market right now.

Best action camera for vlogging: GoPro Hero 12 Black

Key specs:

Action camera
27MP 1/1.9-inch sensor
Fixed lens with 156-degree field of view
5.3K 60p, 4K 120p
Ports: USB-C. With Media Mod upgrade: micro HDMI, 3.5 mic input, USB-C

If you’re the adventurous type, someone who’s going to be taking your vlogging into tricky conditions, then an action camera could well be the best buy. With superb video quality and a fixed wide-angle lens, action cameras make for natural vlogging tools even when you set aside their tough and waterproof credentials. And for the best of the best in action cameras right now, you really can’t go wrong with the GoPro Hero 12 Black.

It’s likely you know the basics of what a GoPro is. The essential pitch of a little waterproof cube that shoots great-looking video has remained pretty much unchanged since the first Hero model hit the market, but has been refined and improved with every iteration. This means that the Hero 12 benefits from all the upgrades that have come before, whether it’s the class-leading HyperSmooth stabilisation system, or the 27MP 8:7 sensor that makes it easy to capture vertically oriented footage – perfect for TikTok – as well as classic 16:9.

The Hero 12 is a fairly iterative upgrade. The main focus here has been on improving the battery life, as well as opening up accessory options with additions like Bluetooth mic support and a 1/4″ tripod thread – great for vloggers as it allows the use of mini tripods like Joby’s flexible Gorillapods.

Otherwise, down the line it’s another camera showcasing everything GoPro does best – great-looking video in a waterproof, shockproof, everything-proof body.

Best mid-range vlogging camera: Fujifilm X-S20

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
26.1MP Fujifilm X-Trans IV APS-C sensor
Fujifilm X lens mount
6.2K 30p, 4K 60p, Full HD 240p
Ports: Micro HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, 3.5mm headphone output, USB-C

The Fujifilm X-S20 is one of the best hybrid cameras ever made, and is a superb mid-range choice for the vlogger or YouTuber. Pairing a 26.1MP APS-C sensor with the Fujifilm X lens mount, the X-S20 makes it relatively easy to produce superb-looking, dynamic footage. At maximum resolution, it captures 6.2K video using the full width of its sensor, and with a broad range of presets, shooting modes and film simulation looks, it provides a lot of welcome shortcuts to making your shots look good.

As it’s a relatively recent camera, the X-S20 benefits from up-to-the-minute features. Its in-built stabilisation system is good for up to seven stops of effective compensation, providing you with a super-smooth shooting platform even while running and gunning. It also has subject-recognition autofocus at its disposal, and we came away especially impressed with the battery life of the camera, which has received a good bump from the previous iteration (the X-S10, still worth a look, especially second-hand).

Thanks to Fujifilm’s hard work expanding the X-mount lens ecosystem, users of the X-S20 will have one of the richest lens catalogues in the business to assemble their setup from. The camera is quite portable and balances well – though it’s worth being aware that it isn’t weather-sealed.

Best full-frame vlogging camera: Panasonic Lumix S5 II

Key specs:

Mirrorless camera
24.2MP full-frame sensor
L lens mount
6K 30p, 4K 60p, Full HD 180p
Ports: HDMI, 3.5mm mic input, USB-C

If you have the budget and inclination to shoot on full-frame, you’ll be rewarded with handsome, crisp imagery, with improved dynamic range compared to crop-sensor cameras. It’s also easier to shoot at vlog-friendly wide-angles on a full-frame camera, as there isn’t the crop factor incurred by smaller sensor sizes. A 20mm lens that’s mounted to a full-frame camera behaves like a 20mm lens, allowing you to fit more into the frame. If you want a cost-effective full-frame vlogging solution, our suggestion is the Panasonic Lumix S5 II.

Released in 2022, the Panasonic Lumix S5 II brought something to the table that Lumix shooters had been desiring for some time – phase-detection autofocus. Finally kissing goodbye to the undeniably dated contrast-based ‘Depth from Defocus’ system, Panasonic gave the S5 II glorious phase-detection autofocus in stills and video, and it’s just so much better.

The S5 II records video at up to 6K resolution, using the full luxurious width of its sensor. This means you have enormous flexibility when it comes to cropping your footage for different formats and aspect ratio – or for cropping losslessly into a shot to provide some visual variation in the edit. There’s also a built-in cooling system that means recording times are essentially unlimited in all modes – it adds a bit of bulk to the camera, but it’s worth it in our book. The body itself is dust-resistant and splash-resistant. You wouldn’t want to dunk it in seawater, but it’ll certainly survive a rainshower.

Panasonic’s Lumix S system uses the L lens mount, developed in conjunction with Sigma and Leica. This means users of the S5 II are absolutely spoiled when it comes to lens choice, with some seriously standout lenses available from some of the best in the business.

Essential accessories for vloggers

If you’re looking for the kit you need to start vlogging, a lot of accessories will be pushed on you, billed as the things that will be the difference between success and failure for your channel. Some will be essential, some will be handy in certain circumstances, and some will be things you can almost certainly do without.

For this section of the guide, we’re going to recommend a few accessories we think are essential (or close-to), helping you build up your setup without having to spend a fortune. Remember, of course, that everyone is different, and there is no product that is universally suitable to every single vlogger on the planet. With that said, here are our top recommendations…

External microphone

All the cameras we’ve listed in this guide offer the option to connect an external microphone – most commonly via a 3.5mm input connection, though you can also often use Bluetooth. A dedicated microphone is the single best way to improve the audio quality of your vlogs at a stroke, and this is vital. Bad audio quality will kill a viewer’s interest in your video exceptionally quickly.

We recommend: Rode VideoMic Go II. Cheap, straightforward and easy to use, this plug-and-play microphone will make a dramatic difference to your audio quality.

Stabilising gimbal

Yes, many cameras have better and better stabilisation systems these days. However, if you’re engaging in run-and-gun filming, you really can’t beat a stabilising gimbal for reliably getting usable shots while you’re moving with the camera. These clever devices allow you to capture Steadicam-level footage with one hand, and many will also offer loads of handy extra functions, such as the option to quickly swap to vertical orientation.

They’re not essential for everyone of course – if you’re doing all your shooting in the studio, there’s no need to bother. But if you’re spending time on location, or if you want to introduce dynamic, hand-held camera movement to your vlogs, a gimbal should be high on your priority list.

We recommend: DJI RS 3 Mini. Designed for smaller interchangeable-lens cameras, this portable gimbal delivers exceptional stabilisation. If you’re using a larger full-frame camera or longer lenses, consider upgrading to the full-size RS 3.

Tripod or stand

While you probably don’t need a full-size photographer’s tripod, getting hold of some way to keep your camera stable, level and freestanding is pretty much a no-brainer for a vlogger. A travel tripod will work well. Many vloggers like the flexible Joby GorillaPod for its versatility and ability to be set up pretty much anywhere. This is all true, though for pure stability, you may find you prefer a more traditional tripod.

We recommend: Manfrotto Element MII Aluminium Tripod. A simple, inexpensive tripod from one of the most reliable manufacturers in the photo accessory business. This versatile camera support provides excellent stability, a generous working height and long-lasting durability.

LED light

Video lighting is an immensely complex discipline once you really start looking into it. However, for most vlogging purposes, all you really need is a dependable, adjustable LED light that can give you a quick burst of illumination at the points where you need it. This doesn’t have to cost the earth, and plenty of manufacturers have jumped at the chance to offer affordable options in this space.

We recommend: Lume Cube Panel Mini. This panel is available at a tempting price, especially compared to market leaders like Rotolight, and it offers good ranges of brightness and colour temperature settings. Bear in mind you may also need to get a stand to mount the light on, so that you can position it wherever you need it.
