Review:

You don’t often come across a camera that’s well-suited for doing videos with positive reviews, especially in this price range where customers expect a lot.

Yet, the Nikon D750 managing to get almost universally positive reviews speaks volumes about the kind of value it offers despite not being a cheap product.

If you have used other high-end full-frame video cameras before (like D850), you would find it a pleasure to switch to the D750.

And that’s because it’s faster than some of the pricier video cameras on the market, and allows for some extremely smooth video recording, which is exactly what you need for vlogging and video creation.

It only records in 1080p HD but the quality wouldn’t make you miss 4K for sure.

Review:

If you’re on a budget but want to get most of what the D750 offers without a big compromise on any of the important features, then the Nikon D7500 may very well turn out to be your best bet.

It comes with a great ISO range that gives it the versatility to shoot many different types of videos.

Overall, for YouTube videos, you would be very pleased with what it can do for you.

Review:

It’s a much cheaper camera than the other two we reviewed above, so you will have to make a few compromises here.

However, if $500 to $700 is all you got, then it may be hard to beat the D5600.

The focus isn’t as fast as the D750 or even the D7500, but it would be good enough for most users unless they will be shooting action-packed sports videos or something similar.

Touchscreen LCD is very responsive and makes using the menus much easier to use. It also helps save a lot of time, which vloggers producing a lot of fresh videos every week for their subscribers will certainly appreciate.

The LCD is also articulating, which makes the D5600 even more flexible, and you would be able to shoot from many more angles than with other cameras without an articulating LCD.

In fact, it’s actually even better than the other cameras in this price range that do come with an articulating LCD, and that’s because the D5600’s LCD allows you to flip it to face in the front as well, which can be a HUGE feature for vloggers and YouTubers that film themselves.

It records full HD 1080p as well, and at 60fps, it’s fast enough for most vloggers’ needs.

As for beginners, they will really like how simple and easy it is to use, with the menus having a lot of information with a very user-friendly interface.

Review:

Now, the Nikon 1 J5 isn’t the most popular Nikon vlog camera, but if you’re after something unique and very compact, AND something you can buy on a very tight budget, then it’s probably what you’re looking for.

One of its most impressive features is the tilting touchscreen, which is very rare to find in this price range.

However, the touchscreen is fairly large and responsive, and even beginners wouldn’t have any problem getting used to it.

The 1 J5 records excellent 1080p full HD videos at 60fps. While the videos aren’t the most detailed you can get (if you go for a considerably more expensive camera), they are not half bad for what you pay, having no noise and retaining the details better than many other options available at a similar price.

It also has a Sports mode and a time lapse feature, which some users might find useful.

Finally, something may not fail to impress you is the hybrid AF system with 105 AF points. Similarly, the built-in WiFi connectivity with NFC is a great feature to have.

Review:

First things first, this is one of the few cameras that both beginners and some of the most experienced users have been pleased with.

It takes very sharp videos that have great details and very rich colors.

It supports 1080/60p full HD quality, and the AF system is fairly precise as well.

The good thing about the AF system is that it works pretty well in low light conditions as well, which is quite a surprise when buying something under $500.

It’s also very lightweight and easy to use, which is what makes it a great fit for both beginners and travel vloggers.

The ISO range is good too, although you may have to make some slight adjustments and do some testing to find out what works best for you.

The only major downside is that there’s no touchscreen or an articulating LCD.

Review:

This is another budget DSLR from Nikon that comes packed with great features and doesn’t compromise on the functionality at all.

Its AF system offers a much larger coverage than some of the much more expensive DSLRs, and you would be able to set the focus to even the smallest of elements regardless of where they are on the screen.

The ISO range is good and unless you’re shooting very demanding videos, it would serve you well for your needs.

As for the ease of use, there have been many beginners mentioning how easy it is to get familiar with the D5300, thanks to the intuitive Menu system, which is way better than that of its predecessor, the D5100.

The internal GPS works great too, which would certainly turn out to be a useful feature for some vloggers.

The low light performance isn’t exceptional, but it gets the job done most of the time.

It shoots 1080p at 60p, 30p and 24p, so you do get a fair bit of flexibility as well. The video shooting quality is fairly good when you’re shooting indoor videos or just filing yourself.

Things do get a bit tricky when you use it for anything outdoor, though. While the AF system is large and covers the entire screen, it does get quite inaccurate as you move away from the center of the screen.

This means that it wouldn’t be a great choice for shooting sports videos or anything with a lot of action.

Review:

So here we have the cheapest option on our list. It’s also our best vlogging camera under $300.

Of course, it’s not a very recommended camera if you can afford to spend a bit more, but for those on a shoestring budget or just trying their hand at vlogging, it would work just fine.

The videos do come out fairly sharp and detailed, but you wouldn’t be able to avoid the noise completely, especially when shooting the more demanding videos.

However, the B500 comes with Vibration Reduction (VR), which is basically the Nikon version of video stabilization.

And as you likely won’t be using a tripod, this feature would come in really handy as it would help prevent shakiness and blurriness in your videos. This alone would improve the overall quality of your videos quite a bit.

It records full HD 1080p quality videos as well, but the autofocus wouldn’t be spot on.

Review:

The Z6 II is a type of camera that is capable enough to support the photographer in almost every situation he gets into. From being comfortable to use, this camera is absolutely best to to capture good quality video footage. 

Although this camera is similar to its previous version, this camera has an ability to add a battery grip along with vertical cords, and also offers the users to add another card slot which helps to expand its already wide storage capacity. With these small replacements and improvements, Z6 II can be used for everything.  

The Z6 II’s ergonomics are extraordinary, the menus are organized in a well prescribed manner and consist of AF foibles aside which makes this camera enjoyable to shoot with. The Z6 II’s battery life can possibly hinder your experience while being on prolonged shoots or during long periods of video recording, but normally it’s an easy camera to operate. Z6 II Bluetooth/Wi-Fi system works quite smoothly after being set up.

Within the price range it offers, this camera is worth every penny. The specification this camera carries gives a tough competition to Nikon’s D750 and D780 , and hence can prove to be a perfect pick for your vlogging experience. 

Review:

The Nikon D7100 is the upgraded version of the well-known D7000, and as the success of its previous model, D7100 comes with some improvements while maintaining the attributes and standard of its previous version.  

The show-stealing feature of D7100 is its 24-megapixel sensor, for which D7100, therefore, is considered to be the highest resolution APS-C camera in the market. When you pick up this camera, you will see how light weighted it is, even with an attached flash, it will still remain easy to carry and provide ultra-portability.  

On the rear side of the D7100, a 3.2 inch, 1228k-dot LCD monitor is placed, although it doesn’t have an flipped screen option but the beautiful resolution it portrays makes up for it. The menu system of the camera includes large texts and allows access to a rather comprehensive and well-organized list of options. With its incredibly bright and sharp display, visibility won’t be an issue on this camera.  

It offers an excellent image quality option and stunning performance. With quick shooting capabilities, you can start your shooting within 2 seconds with a minor shutter lag of 0.5 seconds. 

Finally, the Nikon D7100’s video recording capability can not be ignored, this gadget is able to record at up to 1080p30 or 720p60 in Quicktime format. The footage quality produced is exquisite, maintaining sharpness like a pro with accurate colors. 

When the user Adjusts the camera’s setting to 1.3x crop mode allows the users to record in 1080i at 60 fps or 1080i at 50 fps, whereas the aperture- and shutter-priority modes are lacking in this camera’s video capabilities, the option for manual exposure is given, which will make this a  solid choice even for shooting videos as well. 

Review:

Nikon Coolpix proves to be an affordable, cutting-edge, and stylish camera that is produced to offer a premium video shooting experience.

Mastered to take pictures from a particular angle, this camera can take your photography and video shooting skills to another level.  Although it exceeds a normal budget range, it’s fashionable style appeals to it. 

Being powered by AA batteries, this camera is highly portable and with a set of extra batteries, you don’t have to worry about its battery health running out.

Offering a 32 GB SDHC memory card, you can shoot and record a whole list of events, and still some of the space would be left out. 

Although it lacks Bluetooth services and doesn’t support any connectivity feature, coming with an X Tech mini tripod for optical image stabilization and preventing your footage from being shaky makes up for this fact.

With its effective autofocus abilities, multiple subjects can be shot at a time, and hence makes this camera a good pick for image capturing and video shooting options.
