The Panasonic Lumix G100 is Panasonic's purpose built camera for vlogging. The 20MP micro four thirds camera is smaller than most other mirrorless cameras, but still allows for versatility by allowing videographers to change lenses within the m43 system (with several lenses from Panasonic, Olympus, and more). The Lumix G100 is also light enough to be carried on a selfie stick, making it a great option for travel photography and videography as well. Below are the Panasonic Lumix G100's specs:

  • 24.2 MP APS-C type Exmor CMOS sensor

The Sony ZV-E10 comes in either black or white, with the option of accessories (such as the mini wind screen). For a compact camera vlogging version from Sony, check out the Sony ZV-1. For a compact camera that's centered around photography, there's the Sony RX100 VII
