Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on here a while. I need some advice, for my main channel videos I use a Canon EOS 550D which is great, but for my vlogging channel I currently use a Toshiba Camileo BW10 camcorder, this is a good little camcorder, and being waterproof I can take it on all sorts of adventures with me, as I did last summer, but something I often find is that while recording in the "vlogging position", there isn't much in the frame. For instance, you'll see my head and shoulders and not an awful lot of background, even when it is fully zoomed out. What cameras do you guys use and could you recommend them? I have been looking at the Canon Powershot A1300, a large compact with a viewfinder, and I like the specifications and other things but does anyone have experience with one?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks :)
 
I use my iPhone 4. It's not aamaazzinngg quality but it gets the job done. Don't get me wrong, the quality isn't horrible but it's a good starting point at the moment.
 
You can video with a non-video-supported (;)) canon slr. There is methods that allow for the live view screen to be viewed on a computer and recorded. Unfortunately, I can't remember the program name. In short, you set live view on your slr and plug it into the computer. Press the center button (pretty sure) to enable live view, then start upp this program that records what live view is feeding to it[DOUBLEPOST=1365668759,1365668717][/DOUBLEPOST]

search around. hopefully you can find it
 
Thanks for the advice guys :) Canon do seem to have a good name, though I can't find that model on amazon :( I have tried iPhone vlogging before and was impressed :)
 
I use the Toshiba Camilo x150, it is a nice little camera, records in 1080p ect. really only performs well in good light though.
 
How about a gopro? You will have a lot of surroundings ;)
But you will need to find some extern audio.


For your waterproof camera that you have now maybe you can mod the lense and add an fish eye effect?
