Camera for vlogging?

[enyiie]

Hi guys!

I'm thinking of doing a lot of travelling this year around Europe and doing an exchange. I wanted to vlog my travels and was wondering what you guys use to film? I currently use my Canon EOS 70D but thats way to big to carry around everywhere.

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking of getting the Canon Eos M10 - is that a good choice?

Thanks!

I have the M10 and the only thing I'd say is the quality and audio is brilliant but the lens is a little big for me.

What about a simple smartphone? Compact, high quality..My oneplus2 takes amazing UHD

Canon g7X? I just upgraded to the Canon M6 just to add an external mic. Still use the g7x as b roll and for the time lapse mode.

Depends on what your budget is but i really like the panasonic gh5. The gx7 is good for a low cost solution

I think the Sony X3000 would be a good vlogging camera for travel since it's 4K stabilized video and semi-decent audio quality built in to a nice, compact package. I was tempted to get one for my next trip, but opted to just take my current Olympus OM-D camera and the Tomtom Bandit and just put up with the extra weight.

Get a new smartphone if you dont already have one and get smartphone gimbal. Small, more or less discreet and professional and smooth video Samsung galaxy s7 is good enough.

oddly enough. and I usually would never agree with this because i am a filmmaker lol but 100% I agree with this. if you watch any of my vlogs, all the shots that have amazing quality were shot on my Samsung S7 edge. I mean that's not to say I want a dedicated vlogging camera but if you have a smartphone that shoots 4K its good enough. plus its ALWAYS on you

you probably already got one but i hear alot of people talking about getting a camera that has a good and fast auto focus. I guess so you don't have to worry whether or not you are out of focus when you have the camera pointed to you.
