![]() ![]() Inheriting the well-balanced body of the X-S10 means the X-S20 sits very comfortably in the hand, while our first impressions in testing found that simplified dials on the top plate make it easier to get to grips with what is quite an advanced shooting tool. The Fujifilm X-S20 takes everything that made the X-S10 one of our favorite vlogging cameras and introduces features that make it feel like a more user-friendly option for fledgling content creators. Read our in-depth Panasonic Lumix GH6 review.Stabilization is superior too, courtesy of an algorithmic upgrade that makes the GH6 one of the best cameras for smoothing out walking motion in a natural way. There’s still no phase detection AF either, although contrast-based autofocus performance does seem improved from the GH5 Mark II. The 3-inch rear touchscreen flips, twists and tilts, while a second video record button on the front now makes it easier for vloggers to start rolling.Ĭonnectivity options are comprehensive, although the GH6 does lack the live-streaming capabilities of the GH5 Mark II. Its robust build is complemented by familiar controls and new tally lights front and back. While it’s marginally larger than the GH5 Mark II, it still retains a relatively portable form factor. ![]() It also offers a massive arsenal of formats, frame rates and resolutions – including a larger catalogue of 10-bit modes – while forced-fan cooling means limitless recording times. The GH6 tops it on almost every metric: equipped with a sharper 25.2MP Micro Four Thirds sensor, it can shoot 5.7K footage at 60fps. Panasonic’s GH5 II was one of our favorite cameras for vloggers, offering plenty of creative potential in compact packaging. We also found that its improved four-mic audio setup means you get decent sound quality to match. That said, it's still a very nice upgrade versus using your phone in a gimbal. Despite its larger sensor, we found in our review that the Pocket 2 still isn't an ideal camera for low light situations or high contrast scenes. Plonk it down on a tripod base or surface, and it'll turn to keep you in shot as you walk around in front of it. The Sony ZV-1 (above) trumps it for outright video quality, but if you tend to shoot a lot of walk-and-talk style clips, then the Pocket 2's combination of a three-axis gimbal and solid face-tracking could make it more appealing.Ĭompared to the Osmo Pocket (which remains on sale as a more affordable alternative), the DJI Pocket 2 brings a new larger sensor, a brighter lens, improved microphones and wider field of view, which means you don't have to hold it out at arm's length when talking to camera. This sequel fixes a lot of its limitations and makes it the best compact option around for solo filmmakers. We were big fans of the original DJI Osmo Pocket.

In our expert reviews, we comprehensively assess the key features that matter when vlogging. We’ve extensively tested all of the best vlogging cameras on the market, including the latest releases. ![]() But what the cameras in this list do is make the vlogging process as easy as possible, and we can expect new and improved tools for the job in future vlogging cameras, no doubt with the buzzword AI chucked in.įunctionality aside, I’ve found that these 'vlogging' cameras can be excellent value, often offering more features than other similar cameras from the same brands, and for less money, so you might just find an excellent camera that also stretches beyond your vlogging endeavors. Strictly speaking, the vlogging label is a marketing tool – any camera that can shoot video can vlog. However, Nikon recently got in on the action, too, with the Z30, while the new Fujifilm X-S20 has a dedicated Vlog mode to bring all the key controls to your fingertips and the Canon Powershot V10 stands out with its completely vlogging-focused design. Cameras designed for vlogging are a growing market, pushed by Sony as you can see by its dominant presence in this guide. ![]()
