Cameras
The camera that films you, from webcams and phones to mirrorless bodies and lenses, for creators choosing one after the light is right.
A well-lit face on a phone looks better than a badly lit one on a $2,000 mirrorless camera, which is why cameras come second here. Once the light is set, what shows on screen is the lens, how far you sit from it, and settings held steady: shutter at twice the frame rate, white balance locked, focus on your eyes.
Webcam vs phone vs camera for YouTube compares what each shows on screen, how it plugs into a computer and what it costs, and says when the phone you already own is enough.
