Hi all I don't know if this is alright to ask here as I have little post count yet but will still ask for help. Just want to ask some suggestions on what kind of video camera is good for making videos like life hack videos. I won't be making life hack videos I'm just curious what kind of camera they use (the Quality). My budget for this video camera will be at least $50 if I can get high quality video camera with this kind of money.

Thanks in advance for people who will answer.

You're not going to find anything fancy for $50. Even if you do "find something", then chances are the camera will have some kind of problem (e.g., the built-in mic will suck).

I don't watch those life hack videos, so I wouldn't know what kind of camera they use. It could be a professional level DSLR like the Nikon D5 or it could be a cell phone camera. I suppose if I were going to film videos for YouTube again, I'd get something that could film in at least 1080p at 60 FPS. However, excluding my dash cameras and cell phones, I haven't actually had a video camera since 2002, which is when I had one of those old TC-30 camcorders.
 
50$ is not an investment for that 'life-hack' video camera. Anyway just to help you out. I would say better buy a good camera phone. Vivo would be a good choice, you can even make top notch vlogs or just any video with that camera phone. Go for it.
 
Thanks for the reply guys. Answers were greatly appreciated.
 
a go pro will do your job but i guess it's much more costlier than you budget.
 
Buy a lens for your camera phone and maybe a tripod. This will drastically improve the quality of the videos you shoot with your phone. You can't get youtube quality for $50 but at least you'll get a little leg up. I don't know about lifehack videos specifically, but a lot of youtubers are using the T5i and the G7x Mark ii. Both cost much more than $50.
 
Any DSLR or Mirrorless camera will work for that. Even GoPro 4-5-6 may be fine.
I've got Sony a7s / Canon 5Dm3 / 6D and all have their pros/cons.
I've recently realised that the smaller camera the better. You can always take it with you.

The sound is more important. So get a good lav mic and recorder.
 
I think anything is good for youtube ... you can use a cheap mobile .... much more you don't get anyhow for 50$.
 
If you have a Iphone 6 or higher, the camera quality would do wonders for your life hack videos.

Don't have a Iphone? Try asking a friend to lend him your phone to film.

Don' t have a friend? Give up on life and cry. Jokes:D

I will buy sony ax100. It has 4k30p recording feature. I suggest you to buy a handycam.
