Choosing a camera for recording should be considered, as recording requires the use of different functions than photography. Here are the best cameras for content creators.
Are you wondering what they are? best cameras/camcorders for video creators? Read on!
In principle, cameras can do both: photography and video. However, the ability of one or the other can vary greatly between brands and even models. If, in principle, everyone excels in photography, this is not the case with video. For its quality, this requires different specifications or software solutions, and in addition, it must offer a wide range of different functions that will help the videographer to control the quality of the video more easily: from convenient graphs on the screen during recording to recording formats that spoil the data as little as possible. The choice of camera for recording must therefore be considered. Our list covers pretty much everything that's the best in recording right now.
The best cameras/cameras for video creators, "content creators"
Fujifilm X-T30
A small and very fun camera from Fujifilm will satisfy both the needs of recording and the needs of good photography. In addition to boasting a large range of shooting settings, users will also be impressed by a wide range of quality lenses. It also looks very sexy.
Canon EOS R
Canon's mirrorless trump card right at launch didn't convince anyone. With a series of extensive "firmware" updates, it received a lot of improvements and innovations that turned it into a really good camera. Among the bigger ones are certainly the improved autofocus and the option of autofocusing the eyes, which does an excellent job in both photography and video. In addition, the new RF mount lenses are among the most innovative and sharpest on the market.
Fujifilm X-T3
One of the best cameras of last year nicely complements its retro design with the latest technology. Even otherwise, Fujifilm is a follower of the vintage look, which many users really like. The APS-C format camera has everything a modern camera needs. Touch screen, fast focus, high-quality video, shooting as fast as 30 frames per second, an attractive set of good lenses, and on and on.
Sony Alpha 6500
Sony is pretty dominant in the world of mirrorless video and photography. It also offers excellent cameras for under 1,000 euros. The Alpha 6500 has a smaller APS-C format sensor, but it does a great job in most situations. 425 focus points combined with advanced tracking functions will greatly simplify your work in both photography and video. The range of lenses is increasing day by day, and the possibility of using an adapter and installing lenses from other manufacturers only confirms that we are not missing much by buying a Sony camera.
Nikon Z6
A full-frame camera may not be the best in terms of video sharpness, but the Nikon Z 6 was able to solve this problem well. With the 6, it can record one of the sharpest videos among cameras. Autofocus is also much improved, and via firmware updates, Nikon has added the option of automatic eye tracking.
Sony RX100 VII
For many years, Sony has offered the ideal solution for travelers who don't want to lug a lot of equipment with them, but still want to take some photos or create some vlogs. The RX100 VII is the only compact camera on this list that shouldn't be overlooked, though. It is a great travel companion, as it fits in every pocket and provides excellent results.
Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K
Big for a (larger) pocket, but a damn powerful video camera that will wow any videographer. In a compact housing, we find a Super 35 format sensor, with which we can record video in a resolution of up to 6 K. And this at 60 frames per second! In addition, the camera will be able to record all this without compression (in RAW format). The freedom to process the final recording is very welcome, as is the fact that it offers enclosures with a range of different connectors. For headphones, microphones, full size HDMI and more and more. A pocket-sized film camera.
Panasonic Lumix GH5
The GH5 is another in a line of great shooting cameras. The Micro 4/3 format sensor can record in 4K resolution at 24 frames per second and UHD at 60 frames per second. For very fast recordings, it will be necessary to switch to Full HD, which can be recorded in as much as 180 frames per second. The screen on the back can be turned in all directions, which is always welcome. A bunch of extra features like color curves, in-focus tinting, zebra exposure, and high dynamic range just add to how rewarding the Panasonic GH5 is for videographers.
Sony Alpha 7 III
The Alpha 7 III was one of Sony's first mirrorless cameras to get everything right. Which convinced users that the future is definitely mirrorless. Well, it's far from a perfect camera, but it's still one of the better ones for video. An excellent range of lenses from different brands, reliable autofocus, useful functions and endless options for additional attachments. The Alpha 7 III is still excellent.
