Review:
1DX is a high-end camera that costs north of $5,000. This is the best camera that provides also top quality video that you can get for YouTube.
Its powerful 20.2 MP CMOS sensor allows you to shoot almost shot in stunning clarity.
When combined with a 61-point autofocus system, you’ll be able to film high-definition videos on the go no matter where you are.
One of the other great things about this camera is just how durable it is.
It’s encased in a tough polycarbonate material that’s weather-resistant and even shock-resistant to a reasonable degree, making it great for outdoor vlogging.

Review:
For a lot of his in-home vlogging or facetime vlogging, you’ll see Roman Atwood using his small Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II camera.
This little camera is excellent for getting high-quality low-light shots as well as shooting simple vlogs and can easily fit in your pocket.
Don’t let its size fool you, though.
It is equipped with a full-size 1-inch CMOS image sensor that captures razor-sharp details in even the most unforgiving environments.
Vlogging your day-to-day experiences is an absolute breeze with the G7.
It can shoot clear videos as close as 1.5 ft away from your face, and even has an optical zoom of 4.2x if you’re shooting vlogs from further away.
The DIGIC 6 image processor offers advanced focus features and helps to create moving videos that are incredibly sharp.

Chances are you’ve already seen his most famous prank videos several times before.

The extreme nature of his pranks combined with his personal easy-to-relate-to-life vlogs has drawn in almost 6 billion views and over 25 million subscribers.
