best vlogging camera under £250

[Ethan Grant]

Today, the webcam I use on my laptop for my vlogs decided to stop working, so I need to get a new camera (I was thinking of getting one before today anyway), I just wanted to know what is the best camera for vlogging wither at £250 or under

For in your house I would go with the Canon Powershot S120, you can get it on ebay for around £180-£200 and IMO that coupled with a cheap tripod will provide you with a great camera for both photos and video. I have one myself although doing vlogs with it I could see the downside of not being able to see yourself when recording which is a must for most people so it might not be suitable for you. Another downside would be not having a mic input and the onboard sound isnt anything special. For video quality though its quality is really good IMO.

A solution to some of these problems could be
recording your audio separately, like on your phone or with a microphone
And placing a mirror behind your camera at an angle so you can see yourself

its much easier to with a better camera and alot less hassle but there are some tricks to help

I highly recommend Nikon CoolPix 9500 because it does great top quality videos and it is 18megapixels that means very high resolution photos and videos and it has great mega long 22x zoom.

And it is around 200 Pounds/Euros/Dollars so it is a bargain in my opinion.

I can't speak for other 200 Pounds/Euros/Dollars sub cameras because i haven't tried them, But they LIKELY won't produce as good top quality videos as my Nikon CoolPix 9500.

Nikon CoolPix 9500 is a very decent/ very good camera for recording videos, it is great for vlogging and also photos and it is small and compact.

Anyway it will be a BIG upgrade from your webcam.
