Thanks Eric - still getting things set-up. Powered down all the Steem from my Steem account to pay for the making and marketing of our film so I can keep the tag "the first professional film ever to be fully funded from earnings on the blockchain - couldn't earn enough by posting to keep up. So starting from scratch but loving it.

That sounds like a wonderful use of that Steem, Brian! Exciting!

I'm starting a travel channel with what's left of mine. I'm still fine-tuning the concept of it and deciding on the camera I want to buy. I had one all picked out and then Sony released this one: https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/26/21270193/sony-zv-1-camera-vlogging-rx100. It seems ideal for vlogging.

A ZV-1 Vlogging Camera! Cool. It sounds very adaptive. Nice close-up lens, solid mic options, very handable, filtering! t looks great! And with the wind guard, it looks like a little mouse! :)

You're right! Maybe I'll call it Mickey. ; ) I hope it'll be a good camera to begin with. If I enjoy vlogging I may upgrade eventually.

Well, it's certainly made for YouTube. It sounds like it's got all you would need for vlogging. Don't even think of moving up. I bet you if you master this camera you will be happy with it for years and years! :)

Thanks for the input! I was so happy to find it because it's a few hundred dollars cheaper than the others I was considering. Many of the new generation YouTubers are just using action cams (GoPro, Sony, etc) because of their more compact size but very few of them offer screens so you can't see what you're shooting.
