The top ten earners on YouTube last year were able to rake in over $70 million. People like Lilly Singh, Roman Atwood, and Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg (PewDiePie) took home between $7.5 to $15 million each.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that most of these people did not start with the best cameras for YouTube. In fact, some of them actually started with mobile phones.<\/p>\n

As a starter, you too can do same, although circumstances are now very different as there are so many people in the game, and as such, making yourself better in any way is beneficial. If you have gone a little far, getting the right camera is even more important.<\/p>\n

Sony A7R II Digital Camera Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best
The Sony A7R II<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the A7 series of cameras, Sony has been able to concentrate on single things which we didn\u2019t find too cool. The A7s II was all about sensitivity, while the A7R and A7II were all about great picture quality and autofocus respectively.<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t find that cool because we felt there was a way that Sony could get all those together under one skirt and make something earth-quaking. It did that with the A7R II which turned out to be a favorite piece for both photographers and vloggers.<\/p>\n

This compact mirrorless camera has a resolution which, at 42 megapixels, is not the best there is out there. Nevertheless, it sells itself using its great video and image quality as well as the very great features it poses with around its neck.<\/p>\n

Just the fact that this camera is mirrorless means that it has a video and picture quality that is matchless.<\/p>\n

Another major hit for this camera is its ability to shoot UHD 4K video, which is the moviemakers\u2019 standard that not many cameras can boast of. This is even as it features 5-axis in-body image stabilization as well as hybrid autofocus system.<\/p>\n

Even with low light, the performance of this camera is still top-notch, thanks to its full-frame sensor. Hence the only problem you will have as a vlogger is your creativity and not the camera, as it can work at any hour of the day as well as in most situations.<\/p>\n

The only place where this camera drags its feet is the battery life. Hence, getting the best from this may require that you buy extra batteries.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • You get high-quality video with this piece since it is mirrorless.<\/li>\n
  • Compact and strong.<\/li>\n
  • It records 4k videos.<\/li>\n
  • An all round very good performance.<\/li>\n
  • It accepts lenses from other brands using an adaptor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • It doesn\u2019t have a battery you can boast of.<\/li>\n
    • You do not get a touch screen with this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n

      If vlogging were wrestling, the A7R II would be the Undertaker; it can take on all the bad guys. This piece is one which comes as a small piece and yet with the much convenience and great video production, even 4k Video. This is a piece for a very serious YouTube vlogger considering the price of the camera and the quality of recording you get.<\/p>\n
