One thing to consider when shopping for a new camera is what you’re planning to use it for. If you’re going to be starting (or continuing) a vlog, you’ll probably want a camera that is best suited for that use. Many of the cameras on this list are designed to be especially effective and easy to use for aspiring vloggers. Other cameras on this list will be better for using as webcams, or for capturing high-quality images.
Another thing to think about is what gear you already have to use with your camera. Some of the cameras on this list are sold with just the camera – nothing else. This is great if you’re upgrading from a previous model of camera, but maybe not as nice if you’re looking to get into photography for the first time and have no other tools available for you to use. If this describes you, maybe you would prefer to purchase one of the sets on this list that includes several bonuses to help get you started, such as tripods, extra lenses, filter kits, and more.
You’ll notice that each camera captures images at a different sort of resolution. The resolution may be different depending on if you’re capturing images or recording video, but it’s important to pay attention regardless. You’ll also want to know about how well your camera zooms in and out, as this will affect the overall functionality of your camera as well as what sort of images you can capture.
Lastly, you’ll want to think about the battery life offered by your camera. As a general rule, these cameras will need to be powered by disposable or rechargeable batteries. You won’t simply be able to plug them in to get them up and running. You might even consider purchasing a rechargeable battery kit that can be removed from your camera and recharged on its own. The nice thing here is that you can have multiple rechargeable battery packs ready in the event that you are taking pictures or videos and one of your batteries die. Rather than charging your battery and waiting for it to be juiced before you can get back to work, you’ll simply swap out the dead battery kit for a fully charged battery kit. This is a greater financial investment to make on the front end, but the benefits are obvious.

A: EOS stands for Electro-Optical System. This is a style of autofocusing designed by Canon and included in many of its cameras. Its use dates back to the 1980’s when Canon first introduced an autofocus SLR camera. Coincidentally, EOS is also the name of the goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, but there is no evidence to suggest that Canon chose this name as a riff on the idea of the “dawning” of autofocus capable cameras.
A: CMOS stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. They serve as “electronic eyes,” and are semiconductor devices that help convert light into electrical signals to produce images. The other main type of image sensor is a CCD (charge-coupled device), but the benefit of a CMOS-enabled device is that they have high speed and low sensitivity.
