Hey everyone.
I am an aspiring journalist, but on the side, I'm going to be making a youtube channel.
My roommate and I will be shooting pranks, along with other videos. Rather than renting equipment, I figured it would be better to get my own equipment, take the financial hit now, and truly learn how to use a piece of equipment that I have in my own possession.
That brings me to my next question: What kind of camera and accessories should I be looking for?
I want to be able to shoot high-quality videos from a decent distance, and I was also curious about the best way to capture audio from a decent distance away. I've looked into wireless microphones, but I'm not sure what kind to look for. I've also entertained getting a separate audio recorder that has a microphone that can clip on, out of sight. I have no problem doing either of those.
My budget for this equipment is right around $300.
The cameras I've looked at so far:
Nikon P500 series
Nikon DSLR cameras
I appreciate the help. Thanks!
