Best Budget Camera Options for Online Creators
In this article, I will share some of the best cameras you can consider within most budgets.
Online content creation has become something that everyone does without thinking about it… an Instagram post here, a status update there and even sending that selfie to your other half all counts towards online content creation.
If you want to stand out then getting some better gear may help you achieve that next level. You don’t have to spend thousands to get a pro camera.
Here is one of my most suggested best all-round starter cameras. The Canon T7 also known as the 2000d.
What’s good about this camera? Pros
- Budget friendly (under $500)
- Has a kit lens included which covers wide 18mm to 55mm
- Capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps
- DSLR camera with APSC sensor which give great photo results
- You can use the free Canon webcam tool but only 720p
- Interchangeable lenes EF mount
What could be better? Cons
- Only records at 1080p video (no 4k)
- No autofocus in live view video
- Does not have a clean HDMI out (Live streaming)
Now we can get a little closer to 4 digits with another great camera option from Sony. This is a solid camera for Live streaming, photo or video creation.
What’s good about this camera? Pros
