    I was thinking to start a vlog and I was wondering what camera and lens would you recommend me, considering that I have a low budget. I have read on the internet and I have seen many options but I wish to learn from your experience

    For a vlog, I would recommend you Sony A6 and Sigma 30 mm lens. You will also need a standard tripod and a microphone. You could record your sound separately with Rode Smart Lav and you will need at least one ringlight.

    If your budget is lower than this, you can use your smartphone if you have one of the latest models such as Huawei P30 Pro or iPhone 11.

    I have seen as well that Sony A6 is recommended for novice vloggers as it is very affordable. You could also try it with your smartphone, they provide a good quality these days and it is more accessible than buying additional gear.

    Canon EOS 90D Camera might be a good option
