My Urban Report‘s Amani Channel offers his thoughts on how to pick the best video camera to vlog or video podcast with.

If you’re looking for somebody to tell you the camera to buy, you’re going to be disappointed. But Channel raises some of the main issues to consider.

And he’s got a giant mic prop.

Here’s the real reason, though, that there’s no one “best video camera” for vlogging or video podcasting:

There’s actually an entire genre of YouTube videos devoted to helmet cam setups. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of videos demonstrating different setups for motorcycle vlogging.

And, if there are dozens of people with opinions on the best helmet cam setup for motorcycle vlogging, there’s no lack of opinions on the “best camera” for less exotic projects.

Thinking through your budget, requirements & workflow, like Channel suggests, is a good place to start.

Talking to some people that are making the type of vlog or video podcast that you want to make, though, will help you understand what works best for what you want to do.
