The Best Camera

The quality of your footage is one of the most important factors that will define how professional your videos eventually look. The surprising part though is that this doesn’t mean you have to spend lots of money. As long as your video is 1080p, then it will be high enough for most uses on YouTube. Today, most cameras that record video will record 1080p so you don’t need to spend a lot of money.

And in fact, most phone cameras are capable of recording footage in high definition. Any Samsung from a Note 4 and higher will even be able to record in 4K with 60fps. (60fps is a nice bonus but not a requirement.) The main limitations for camera phones really revolve around the ability to autofocus and also to record sound. The former issue might just mean you need to stay in one place, whereas the latter means you’ll need to invest in a small device such as a lapel mic. These are very cheap but will allow you to record audio at much closer range and with much higher quality. Audio quality too often goes overlooked and is actually one of the most important factors for making a good impression with your content.
