Would this be a perfect vlog camera?

I can't say it would be perfect as a video blog camera but I have found it to be entirely useful and would recommend it to anybody for a pocket camera, still and video. I have always used a Canon pocket for point and shoot and the only time I went off-brand with a Nikon I was extremely disappointed.

Yes, it can be your perfect tool to do that but just be ready for a spare battery as it drains fast.

I think there are better alternatives for your hobby, I am using this one for sports and sometimes for inside meetings that I record. Hope to be helpful. Good luck ;)

probably a little too much. if i were to get a new one it would have to have video recording. a much less expensive point and shoot can do just as well

It is good for that. In fact, that's almost exactly what I used it for. The LCD does turn all the way around so you're able to see yourself while recording. Just FYI, if you plan to use a lapel mic or some sort of external microphone with this camera, the microphone has to be powered like use batteries.

Yes, and the video quality is excellent. Be aware that camera's microphone is small. It's fine for indoor filming, but you can get wind noise when filming outdoors. That goes for most video camera too. Video uses up your camera's card very fast, so carry a spare! Regards Zeke

Yes, thats one of this cameras biggest advantages. It is almost made for selfie shots and self recording video.

Yes it can work as a normal video camera when set to that mode. It just doesn't have a viewfinder.

I suppose you could though I'm not sure as to how good the quality would be. Utilizing the software video capture as a primary monitor may also have a delay with input if that would matter to you.

This wouldn't be the camera for that. You'd want something that has a larger capacity and has a time and date stamp. This camera is more for portability. Say you went skiing and wanted to record your run - it would be good for that. If you did use it for security purposes, it would be for brief periods and unless you had the USB plugged in the whole time, it would only last as long as the battery life.

Absolutely! That is exactly why I got this baby. Works really well. It records in 15 min increments so if you need to use the footage you don't need a ton of editing. Mine came with the attachment to mount it to the dash, along with the belt clip and headband mount. Mine also came with waterproof case too.

Hello, Terry, I utilize the camera to film my YouTube cooking show. It does seem to have a problem maximizing standard light sources (apartment lighting), which might impact your filming. I have personally struggled to get the light sensors to create bright video even when every light in the kitchen is on. On the plus side, the camera does produce high quality, very large image files. It works for YouTube, but how it would translate to a full blown filming depends on if you are utilizing industry lighting or shooting in bright sunlight. If so, it should work well. If you are going to film in low light or darkened outdoor conditions, you might want to search elsewhere.

Overall this is a very nice little camera. I have posted one video that I made with it, and it was a very decent quality. You will not be disappointed with this camera.

I am looking at this Canon Vixia for the exact same purpose; I believe that this is a similar camera that one of our other "hockey moms" has, and she has been videoing our games (and we use them to break down games with our kids) for over a year now. The quality is not professional, but is exceptionally good.

Nope. This is a pretty basic camcorder. Does not have that kind of versatility.

Not sure. Our camera is motion sensitive and used when we are away so we are not doing much recording (we hope).

Im pretty sure you will have no issues filming. Its a great cam for the price with hd quality. I love the fact that the zoom is awesome as well.
