3. Panasonic LUMIX G100
Perfect for budding vloggers, the G100 has 4K recording and three microphones to record sound from all angles. It’s also very compact, so is a good one to take on travels.
£680 with LUMIX G Vario 12-32mm f3.5- 5.6 lens; very.co.uk
4. Canon EOS 2000D DSLR
A little more budget-friendly, especially if you already have a lens and just buy the body. This model isn’t fancy – it doesn’t have a touch screen, for example – but it has lots of shooting modes and a 24.1 megapixel APS-C sensor.
£420 with 18-55mm DC lens; argos.co.uk
5. Nikon Z50 Mirrorless Camera
The Z50 is a pricier option, but the toned-down, beginner-friendly version of Nikon’s popular Z6 and Z7 cameras is compact and has a great viewfinder and tilting screen.
