What is the best low-cost camera for making YouTube videos?
I have been buying video cameras every three or four years since the 1980s. To keep my cost low each time I need to buy another camera I almost always buy the best video camera that was made three or four years ago
When the time came this year for me to buy another camera I found the best camera for the lowest cost that had excellent stability. I was tempted to buy a better used phone that had stability, but after looking at the DJI Osmo pocket and the features it had I picked it instead.
There is no one single camera for all YouTube video creators. There are too many different types of videos and styles of videos and talent and budgets and experience etc. So let me be clear, I'm not saying that the DJI Osmo pocket is better than every other camera out there that you can buy used for a hundred dollars.
You may find a camera that has a feature that satisfies your need that is lacking with the DJI Osmo pocket with the camera. I just think overall the little Osmo is an excellent choice due to how many things it does very well.
Another advantage of buying a used camera like a DJ Osmo pocket is that there are now over four years of videos on YouTube providing helpful tips on how to make better videos to fix any problems. New cameras will lack the support you can get for the DJI Osmo pocket from so many sources.
If you really want to save money or keep your costs low when using my strategy of buying three and four-year-old camera technology you need to add a second step. That step is important. At some point in the future, you're going to need to buy another camera. When that time comes and you find and select the right camera that is the point at which you need to sell your old camera.
Because initially, you purchased your camera used several years old, and now it is even a few more years older, and the value is dropping a lot. Otherwise, you will end up with a closet full of cameras that you purchased over the last 40 years and never had the heart to sell because you like them so much.
Ask me how I know.
But yeah, buying the best technology in cameras or phones or any other technological device every three or four years instead of buying the newest is oftentimes a very smart economic decision. It's very easy to cut your costs by 75%.
If you get really lucky you can buy a camera that actually over time increases in price.
