When searching for the best cameras for videos and photos under $800, it’s important to consider several key factors to ensure you make the right decision. Here’s what to keep in mind:
1. Purpose
Determine the primary use of the camera. Are you focusing more on videography or photography? Some cameras specialize in specific tasks, so understanding your needs is essential.
2. Sensor Size
Larger sensors typically capture more light, which results in better image quality, especially in low-light conditions. Look for APS-C or full-frame sensors if possible, as they perform better than smaller sensors.
3. Video Capabilities
Check the video resolution and frame rates offered. Look for cameras that support 1080p at a minimum, and if you can, seek out models that shoot in 4K for higher quality video.
4. Lens Options
Interchangeable lens cameras provide versatility for different shooting conditions. If you choose a camera with a fixed lens, ensure it suits most scenarios you might encounter.
5. Portability
Consider the camera’s size and weight, particularly if you plan to carry it around for extended periods. Compact cameras or mirrorless options are often more portable than DSLRs.
6. User-Friendly Features
Look for features like touchscreen interfaces, built-in stabilization, and connectivity options (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth) that make the camera easier to use and share images.
