What's a good and versatile camera for content creation that won't break the bank?

Thinking for one-person-band videographers; vloggers who might make a short or two; versatile, but future-proof... Ideas?

  • If you are actually vlogging you need something with a flippy screen so you can see yourself. This will limit your options. There is no perfect camera.
  • The Fuji XT-3 is a really great all around camera that's not gonna be outdated spec wise anytime soon. It'll shoot stills and great video no problem, has built in mic and headphone jacks as well. You can pick one up for around £700 second hand, or for a little less you can go for the X-T30, which is basically the same specs but in a more consumer oriented body (no weather sealing, fewer direct controls, etc). MPB is a great resource for buying second hand, I get all my equipment from them and have never been disappointed: https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/used-equipment/used-photo-and-video/used-mirrorless-cameras/used-fujifilm-mirrorless-cameras/
  • IPhone 11 or 12 Pro. But seriously, it depends on what your ultimate end product will be. I would also check out older Canons like the Canon 5D Mark IV is a fantastic camera that you can get for a very reasonable price these days.
