I went out and tested the world's best Budget cameras but what I quickly Realized is that the best budget camera For lifestyle and vlogging is very Different than the best budget camera For serious photography and for video Because a good budget camera is very Specialized so in this video I'm going To help you find the best budget camera For you specifically for what you're Shooting so if you're someone that wants An everyday lifestyle camera something You can carry in your pocket and get Photos and videos anytime you want and You also want it to look better than Your iPhone Sony has recently released The Sony zv1f for this exact reason the Zv1f is an ultra small and compact Camera and actually weighs just about The same as your iPhone it pretty much Fits in any pocket or purse you can Easily keep it close at hand the zv1f Also has a 20 megapixel one inch sensor That blows any smartphone sensor out of The water with a 20 millimeter fixed Lens with an aperture of 2.0 which is The perfect lens for this kind of camera Because it gives you three unique Benefits that you never really see Together in one budget camera so number One because of that F 2.0 aperture it Gives you that shallow depth of field Blurry background look that makes your Subject stand out from the background
And makes all of your photos and videos Look cinematic because of that fast Aperture it also lets you get really Really good low-like photos and videos And without a doubt looks better than Even the iPhone 14 pro but number three And my favorite thing about this camera Is the wide 20 millimeter lens it's the Perfect lens for vlogging group shots Selfies because it's such a wide lens it Can pretty much see everything around You without giving you that weird Fisheye GoPro look plus it has a flip Out screen so you can see yourself when Recording if you're doing Vlogs or sit Down talking content like this and it Has Stellar on-board mics which give you Really Solid Audio so if you don't want To use an external microphone or a Shotgun mic with this camera you you Really don't have to the one downside of The zv1f because it's not a perfect Camera which is the fact that because of That 20 millimeter fixed lens you do not Have the ability to zoom in and out but Because it's a 20 megapixel sensor you Have plenty of resolution to Simply crop In zoom into your image without losing Detail in your photos and videos however If you really want a camera with a zoom Lens and you like the features of the Sony zv1f I have a suggestion for you Later in this video besides that there's Very little that holds the zv1f back as
A vlogging and lifestyle camera it Absolutely delivers when it comes to Shooting the actual photos and videos it Shoots 16 frames per second that is Ultra fast and fast enough to capture Any kind of fast moving action if you're At a party concert Sports dance cars Whatever you want however it does not Shoot Raw photos which is a specific File type of photos specifically needed For professional work and for heavy Editing but this is a casual camera and You really don't need it when it comes To video it shoots 4K at 24 and 30 Frames per second it's beautiful and Crisp and it also has slow motion mode Up to 120 frames per second for five Times slow motion I don't know what it Is but slow motion makes everything look Epic and it has some really cool Built-in filters to give your photos and Videos a really unique look without Having to do any editing the zv1f is Small easy to carry with the perfect Lens for this camera type and honestly The quality of the photos and videos Blows the iPhone out of the water also If you like the zv1f but you wish it had A zoom lens you can also check out the Sony zve E10 it's basically the same Camera but with the ability to add a Zoom lens by the way this video is not Sponsored so if you want to check out The cameras we talked about today make
Sure to hit up the links in the Description down below it's got the best Pricing and the most up-to-date pricing And it's the best way to support the Channel thank you however if you're Someone who wants a serious photo camera The Sony zv1f will not satisfy you Because for the same amount of money you Could get a much much better camera that Specializes in photos so let's take a Look at what I consider the best budget Camera for photos on the planet and it's Also the highest selling camera in the World for this specific category so if You want to get gorgeous photos without Dropping A month's rent on a beginner Camera the perfect camera is without a Doubt the Canon t7 because it combines Features you wouldn't normally find in Professional cameras in an affordable DSLR so the first thing is the sensor it Has a 24 megapixel aps-c sensor that was Previously used in really popular Cameras like the Canon 80d and the Canon M50 so the quality of your images is Very similar to that of a professional Camera at a fraction of the price you'll Only really start to see a difference When you crank the iso in low like Situations and the shooting speeds so Let me explain what that means the Canon T7 will shoot at 3 frames per second Which is perfect for portraits Landscapes Scenic photos while traveling
Or hiking anything where you just want To capture the moment in crisp quality And it shoots 14-bit raw which is a Professional file type for serious Editing and color grading if you're a Photo Enthusiast you will definitely Want to edit your photos and this camera Is definitely going to allow you to get The maximum flexibility with your photos And the second thing that I love about The Canon t7 is the Canon EF lens mount Canon's been making lenses for this Specific camera mount since 1987 which Means you have Decades of good lenses to Choose from you can buy used old lenses Get them for very cheap or even get more Recent professional lenses but still at A cheaper price because most of the Industry has moved from DSLR to Mirrorless my two favorites are the Canon EF 24 millimeter and the Canon Ef40 millimeter that are both about only A hundred dollars and lastly you have to Love the classic DSLR design it's built Like a tank and if you've ever wanted to Just hold a camera in your hand and feel Like a badass Canon t7 it has a nice deep grip that Really feels great in your hands and the Design is super user friendly and Intuitive it's not hard to learn you can Easily pick up this camera and start Taking really good photos within a few Days and if you're lazy the auto mode is
Also really good so what's the catch the Video in this camera really isn't that Great it shoots full HD at 24 and 30 Frames per second in pretty good quality But the autofocus in video mode just Falls apart it's fantastic in photo mode But in video mode just falls apart and This really isn't a camera that I would Ever recommend for video however if you Like the look and feel of a DSLR and you Want a video as well the Nikon d3500 is The best budget DSLR that also does Great video but if you're serious about Video you should really be looking at Mirrorless cameras which brings me to my Favorite budget camera on this list and The camera that I would recommend to Someone that wants to do a little bit of Everything photos videos vlogging this Camera actually does it all and it does Really good video so if you're looking For a budget video camera things get a Little complicated because not only does The video quality have to be good but You also need good stabilization good Autofocus good audio and that's where Budget cameras don't really deliver but Nikon released a camera this year that Legitimately surprised me and that's the Nikon z30 it's a small compact body that Feels like a classic DSLR in your hands With a black rubber grip all the way Around it but it's a mirrorless body Without a viewfinder that makes it extra
Compact and small and controversial Opinion but I'm kind of overlooking Through these tiny little viewfinders I Rather use the monitors and the screens On the back the z30 has a big beautiful Side articulating screen so you can Easily get high angle and low angle Shots but you can easily see exactly What you're recording and if it's in Focus the sensor in the Nikon z30 is a 20 megapixel aps-c sensor now 20 Megapixels is lower than the competition Which is generally 24 and 26 but the Lower megapixel count on the 20 Megapixel sensor actually makes a z30 Better in low lights and I promise you Will not see a quality difference your Photos and videos will still be tack Sharp but the real reason your photos And videos will look so good is actually The 16 to 55 zoom lens that this camera Comes with which also has a vibration Reduction so you can get steady video Even with shaky hands as a beginner General purpose lens I would honestly Give it 10 out of 10. and when it comes To photos and videos there's a few Features in the Nikon z30 that are Actually going to help you shoot better Photos and videos than any other camera On this list when it comes to photos It's going to shoot at 11 frames per Second with phenomenal autofocus so you Can get any kind of fast moving action
Whether you're getting shots while Traveling sports cars whatever you want And it also shoots 14-bit raw which is Going to give you the best quality for Your photos so if you want to do some Serious editing it is available to you But video is where this camera really Impresses because this is the camera That I highly recommend if you're Serious about videos it does 4K at 24 And 30 frames per second and it is crisp It is shockingly good for a beginner 4k Camera and it also has a 120 frames per Second for five times slow motion the Z30 is probably the best camera you can Get right now for travel videos and Travel Vlogs but why is that for two Major reasons one the audio on board is Tack sharp it's even better than the Audio for the zv1f you really do not Need an external microphone I take this Camera for vlogging in New York for Almost a week and I never had any audio Issues second the autofocus if you're Going to be shooting video a lot you're Gonna need good autofocus you want to be Able to focus on getting your shot Rather than making sure things in focus And the autofocus in the z30 is really Impressive one it has touch autofocus But it also has intelligent face and Object tracking so you can simply tap Something on the back screen and it will Automatically start tracking it even if
It goes off screen and all of this is Going to allow you to Simply pick up Your camera and easily get great footage Without having to fuss around with a Bunch of technical dials if you're a Creator a YouTuber someone that's really Serious about vlogging this is a camera That I really recommend Nikon also sells A Creator kit that comes with an External microphone a vlogging handle if You're serious I highly recommend Picking that up as well along with the Creator kit and all the cameras that we Talked about today I'm going to leave Links in the description down below for The best pricing and the most up-to-date Pricing and also this video is not Sponsored so checking out the links in The description down below is the best Way to support the channel and we Genuinely appreciate it with that being Said guys I'll see you in the next video Or whenever I see you peace
