What camera do you use?

[paullaskovids]

When I need a small thing on the go I use a Canon Vixia HF200 which doesn't focus right all the time because I dropped it. Otherwise, when I'm filming a bigger project or a vlog I use the Canon XA20.
Here's a picture of it: instagram.com/p/sLVE7LuuxE/

It goes down to f1.8 which is nice but the depth of field at 1.5-2ft zoomed out isn't as good as you can get from a comparable DSLR I feel. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

I started with a sony bloggie touch (Like before I wanted to even upload, More so for practice)

I wish that form factor never died! It just made so much sense. I have the Webbie which was the first incarnation of that camera. It's terrible and it got cancelled after 7 or so months when they redesigned it and renamed it Bloggie. By that time the vlogging cams were on their way out. Best thing about it was the rotatable lens and the battery life seems to last forever. However everything else sucked. Video compression was bad, and low light performance didn't exist, audio wasn't too great and had a lot of handling noise, and the lens wasn't really wide enough for selfie video. The screen was too damn small too. If they only made some more effort to improve it they would have had something that would have lasted a long time.

Yeah, those were some really good cameras and if they would hold up I'd still use mine! Too bad the whole collection is just done. They really need to bring it back because not only was it inexpensive but it was pocketable and decent looking.

I use a sony nex f3. I think the quality of it is great and it has a flip up screen for self-video framing.

I used to switch between my Canon 7D, but when a certain friend dropped it and had to fork out a lot of money to attempt to fix it I just purchased a sony handycam hdr-230 to hold me over until I can get a newer camera.

I use a Sony Alpha a58 with the lens it comes with, Its what I have always used and I love it

Using a SONY NEX VG10, and now we got a CANON EOS 70D.
Most times we are using it with the lens it comes with, sometimes we put a fisheye or something like this on it.

For most of my videos its a Canon 70D with 18-135mm STM Lens
For anything thats filmed outdoors I have several GoPro Hero3+ Cameras
When I have neither of the above at hand its my iPhone 5 (soon to be iPhone 6!)

I use a canon t2i with a 50mm lens most of the time.

Hey same here, that's my choice most of the time! 50mm is the way to go with a small budget!
