Best BUDGET Vlogging Camera For YOUTUBE 2023 | Sony ZV1 vs Canon G7X Mark III Review 

Thanks for watching guys! The million dollar question ...or more like the $798 question, which camera would you choose? And why? Ley me know! :)

The fact you called them budget cameras 😭😭😭 (Update June 25 2021) I’ve had both of them now lol so this comment was when I wasn’t saving 😭

This felt like more of a Sony ZV-1 review than its comparison with g7x m2

Just wanna say, i like the fact that you reply to everyone and answering things you could easily ignore! You’re inspiring!!!

Great review although I felt a big bias towards ZV1? Guess it is your personal favourite but most of the review was aimed at glorifying ZV1. Would have loved hearing a bit more about how Canon stands out as well. Just a minor feedback when doing a comparison video. Otherwise loved it and super helpful for someone who cant decide, thanks a lot!

I love cameras like these for travel photography. For video the Sony one is better, it simply has a better auto-focus by far. For photography, though, I prefer the Canon camera because it has a longer and faster lens (faster at the same focal length for the most part).

Thanks for this video dude.

Finally a video that gets to the point and shares these vlogging features🤩🥳thank you!!

great vid wish you did some camera testing for the g7x as well

I started a fitness channel and I was looking for a new camera because the go pro was not doing me any justice and the 2 I had in mind were exactly these 2 so I definitely needed this video!! Thank you!!

This was really in depth and I sincerely appreciate it!

Great video super informative and straight to the point. My fiancée just purchased the Sony as a gift today! I’m excited

Great review! Thanks so much 👍🏼 I have the previous Sony model and it’s great to see the upgraded features!

I think the two main points are missing here: Auto-Focusing and Image Stabilization. The G7X sucks at focusing but it’s IS is literally unbeatable. I couldn’t find any vlogging camera which comes even close so at the end of the day my conclusion is: I’d rather go for a smooth image with some focusing issues here and there than a shaky image (which for me is like unwatchable). All the other stats are pretty much almost the same. I don’t care for grading, cause I love the canon colors and I also use an external mic no matter what. So for me Canon wins easily.

Great video - I felt you were a TEEENY bit biased towards the Sony from the beginning but I'll let you off ahaha. Great tips and advice - nicely done. I'll be looking into sony for my next vlogging camera!

So informative! Straight to the point! Loved it!!

Good vid dude. Look forward to seeing and learning from from you!

THANK YOU ! This was very helpful !

AMAZING VIDEO!!! It was sooo helpful and easy to understand (this is coming from someone that doesn't know anything about cameras lol) Thank you so much, I learned a lot!

Also great message at the end💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥

I was so excited to get the Canon g7x Mark III and was disappointed with the auto-focus. I saw on YT you could download the software to fix the auto-focus issue, but then after seeing the SONY SV1 soft edit feature, it attracted me to that camera. Happy both have mic jacks and flip out screens.

Amazing video very informative and straight to the point ‼️❤️

Great comparison Hunter

My biggest concern is adjusting the lighting. Even with all the equipment I own my lighting always switches in and out with my sony alpha 100. My friends have the canon and say they love how they can adjust the brightness so easily. Does the new Sony have easy adjustments for the lighting?

So helpful, great video!

Very helpful! Thanks man

It's the first video of you that I am watching and I really liked it. Thumbs up.

Why I just found this video. So informative, thank you so much! Love from the Philippines!

Thank you man i needed this video forsure

I’m sorry to say that this video lacks picture quality (vague). Disturbing background music which makes you hard to understand. Also for non-vloggers the Canon is the better choice. You don’t mention 40 % longer zoomrange of the Canon. It goes optically to 100 mm. I tested it in combination with 2x digital zoom and I was very impressed with the 200 mm focal length. Also the Canon had a USB-C port. This is important because you can connect the camera to a PD powersupply or PD powerbank and always have a full internal battery. No limitation of recording length except the 30 minutes, that most compact cameras have for legal and tax reasons. After 30 minutes you hit the record button and go on. Time lapse can go over one hour easily. The Sony ZV-1 cannot do this, unless you hassle with dummy batteries and spare batteries. The micro-USB on the Sony is a shame. It seems that the whole world is mainly vlogging, but there are other markets too. The Sony is better for vlogging and has a well-thought of range of accessoires for this purpose. But for standard video production and streaming the Canon is the better choice. (my native language is not English).

These were the exact ones I wanted a comparison on thanks 👍

Very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for the video buddy, really useful .

Solid video - thank you!

Great video! Really helped me decide on what I wanted.

thanks so much for this video! which of the two has the best image stabilization for travel vlogs? I hate having a shaky camera lol

Super helpful thank you!!

Thank you, this was so helpful!

Loved this video!! thank you

Great video! Very to the point, yet informative!

Thanks for making this video, you helped me make a good decision :)

Good job with the info

EXACTLY the video I was looking for. I have the mark iii, but the zv1 might be my new go to.

Just ordered the Sony for my RU-vid channel, I like the advanced autofocus and super slo mo!

Super helpful. I was going to go for the Canon but seeing this has swayed me to the Sony!

very helpful! I'm trying to find a good camera to shoot my videos.

love the bread Wolverine much! LOL :P

Hello! Thank you so much for this video. I have a Sony a6400 for dance videos. I’m now doing vlogging and that camera isn’t too good for that and it’s too heavy. I need something lightweight for both fitness videos on RU-vid and vlogging on RU-vid. Would you suggest the Sony zv1 for both?

awesome video, trying to decide if my channel needs the bother of an actual camera or if my 12 mini will get the job done well enough :p.

Are those shots raw or it has already been edited like color grading and all? Thank you

Amazing Work ✌️

Interesting topic, thanks.

Good vid - thanks

which camera do you use and how do you reach that effect? its very nice.. thanks

This video was sooo helpful 🤍

He kept it real at the end . I like that

Useful. Thank you.

G7X mark 1 is still making me killer $ since 2014!

Thank you dear! U help me in my decision

Awesome review

Cool

Are they only good to use for videos or also pictures or selfies?

Sony catches my eyes! Thankies!

thank you, now you removed doubt for me

Me encantó como habló de las características que uno siempre usará. Muy útil eso.

This is the best review of both cameras I have ever seen. Seriously, great job on this one. Your attention to detail and cutting out the bs has not gone unnoticed.

THE BEST VIDEO ON THE UTUBE AND YOU ARE THE BEST

Thanks Hunter 🙌🏻 sweet & short! I’m down to the Sandbox 🐪 so I’m doing some electronics shopping 🤓

Thank you this, I’m trying to update my camera & this was very helpful & informative. I was gonna buy the Canon but I think I’ll switch to the Sony.

What LUTs did you use for the Sony footage?

I have a Nikon A900 and I'm looking to upgrade what one should I get ZV1 OR G7X Mark 3 definitely let me know

Do you recommend this video for filming sports , like fitness and dance videos? Can the camera capture fast movements in a high quality? Thank you for the video!

Hey it's really helpful Love from india ❤️

Hi Hunter. I would like make video of a remodeling a house. Which camera do you suggest? One of this is good or something else? Thx

Are you ok, why is there so much haze in your studio?

why it looks like couple guys were smoking in your room?

Excellent review, thanks a lot! (At 3:25 you are pointing in wrong directions. I got the message tho:)

Hey, can you help me out with your background music!

If one looks mainly for a video plus a little of still photography camera which one would you recommend? The video I'd like to shoot is not necessarily vlogs but travel videos. I am looking for something really small yet going a little beyond what my iPhone can do.

Which one will be better for photos ?

Can a Canon Powershot G7 X Mark III be charged with any USB-C cable or is there anything special to consider?

Hey dude! Great video! I heard the FOV on the Sony isn't as wide as the Canon. How did you find it? I want to video two subjects walking and speaking to the camera at the same time. Do you think the FOV would be sufficient? Thanks!

Which one would you recommend to vlog but not myself

‼️Are they both good enough to video soccer games? As well as show good details when zooming in on the games? Advise please! 🙏🏼

Going to invest in a vlogging camera 📷

I was deciding between these two and I'm sold on the Sony ZV1 now. thank you for this concise, informative video.

Thank you so much 🔥🔥🔥

Would any of these be good for day to day pictures? Nothing really profesional mainly looking for something compact with Nice decent picture quality.

Thanks Hunter for this video! Clear and on point! If I have not seen this vid I would just purchase what vloggers “usually gets”

Which is better in terms of taking pictures?

Please help reply anyone, which of these two is better for filming fitness /yoga videos

좋은정보 감사해요~

Hi Hunter. We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for ZV1, can we send you one for the next mic review you are doing?

Very helpful! I’m looking to get a new vlog camera. I’m a cannon girl but the Sony is very tempting! ❤️

Not sure if you can help me, I bought the zv1 and my Samsung s20 smartphone is still shooting better video, I’m comparing it on walking videos, Samsung seems smoother compared to the Sony even with the settings on active. Any thoughts?

love the mark ii. thinking about getting the iii? i love canon.

Nice. You forgot to compare the stability. IBIS is one important thing to consider in vlogging

Hi.. I m from India. Thanks for the video. I have doubt is this sony camera good for indoor video making at home in low light for youTube videos??

Good video bro

I did love my little G7x!
