First this guy knows how to light and how to set his camera up. So the video looks good but the fact is that any decent HD camcorder will do the same job - you just need to know how to take good pictures.
YouTube degrades most video to fit it into the space available so a "Super" camera is just not needed if it is just for YT.
I also need something that will keep good quality even though I'm filming in a basement that receives not as much sunlight as a normal lit room.
No. You need to buy some lighting!!! LED lights are reasonably priced and, with their supplied filters, you may get the colour temperature you need for a decent picture. The camera will NOT compensate for poor lighting.
Hi there,
I currently own a Samsung Q10BN and it's been ok for shooting videos for my YouTube channel. It's the new year and I'd like to upgrade but I know nothing about digital video cameras.
I'm looking for the highest quality and most clear video I can get. I'd like to get the same quality that this video has:

I believe this guy uses a Canon Rebel T3i which the quality looks great on video, however it's $400+ and I don't need the camera function.
I also need something that will keep good quality even though I'm filming in a basement that receives not as much sunlight as a normal lit room.
I'm looking to spend as little as possible but video quality/high def and sound quality is key.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
