The Camera that most Vloggers use is cheaper than you think.

We’ve recently started vlogging, check out our channel Gator School, we started out using our phone. It wasn’t the best option, phone quality isn’t perfect and we were quickly running into storage issues. So it was time to look at upgrading to a camera. It didn’t take long to notice that almost all YouTubers are using the same little point and shoot camera to film their vlogs.

The Canon SX730 comes in at a price point just under $400 and it’s perfect for vlogging. The HD quality is perfect for YouTube, it doesn’t shoot in 4K, but 4K isn’t really necessary for vlogging. I love that it’s compact and light. I can put it in a cheap little shock  proof camera case in my purse or in my pocket for stealthy store vlogs (vlogging in public still feels a little awkward to us since we’re still new at this, o stealth is the way to go.) I also bought a compact Joby tripod that works perfectly, but I don’t use as often as I thought I would.

The real reason why most vloggers use this camera? The 3 inch tilt LCD screen, it’s basically made for vlogging. The screen tilts so you can see yourself and get the best vlogging angles, it’s easy enough to flip one handed so you can go from front facing to rear facing without a hassle.

The Canon SX730 is the perfect piece of equipment, it has high video and sound quality, an adjustable screen, and it’s at the perfect price point. If you’re interested in the Canon SX730 make sure to check it out on Amazon.
