A list of good quality vlogging cameras perfect for any aspiring vlogger in 2020 Pixabay / PIRO4D

Aspiring to become a YouTube celebrity? Wanting to let people know your thoughts or what is happening every day? Whatever your interests, these are things that can be done through the increasingly popular art of vlogging. It is simple to do: get a Wi-Fi-supported camera, then record for as long as you like either live or before directly uploading your video/s to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other media and social media platforms.

The best thing about vlogging? You do not have to spend over a thousand dollars on a good camera that is designed for it. What matters is that the camera you bought can record high-quality HD videos before sharing them online, in addition to being lightweight and portable enough to be carried with you anywhere you go.

With all things said, here are the 7 best vlogging cameras under $1,000:

1. Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 Digital Camera
