Starting Cameras

    I'm looking at some basic cameras I do not want expensive as isnt within my budget. I want something to just record for my business for youtube and maybe on tiktok but not sure what I should get. I was using my phone to practice but its an old phone and needs replaced soon. I have about £300 to spend.

    Personally I would consider getting a new phone with a good camera on it. Theres a lot of ways to mount a phone to a ringlight for selfie style videos, gimbals if you want to do smooth handheld footage and the bonus is you can easily carry it everywhere with you. For £300 you could get one of the Samsung plus phones like an s22plus or maybe even s23plus. I have a Nothing Phone 3a Pro and thats been really good, the front facing camera isnt the best but still performs well and the back camera is excellent just sometimes struggles in low light. What kind of video content will you be making?

    My phone is old now the galaxy s10. I dont know what other equipment I will use yet but it will be used showing my clients treatments on the website. Lighting will be normal daylight coming in to the room most times.

    I would likely get a phone in your circumstances with you already saying you have an old phone that you want to replace soon. A lot of phone cameras are very capable these days and theres a lot of accessories you can get for stabilisation that dont break the bank too. For your usage I would likely get a good phone with a decent camera and shoot in 60fps 1080p or 4k. The 25 Ultra offers this but it is quite expensive, you could still get away with 60fps 1080p on a slightly cheaper model.
