Camera Advice - Video, Still, Waterproof

Ariel's Mum · 22 May 20, 04:48 PM

Looking for some advice, thinking of buying a new camera and ideally looking for one wich will take still pics and videos and is also waterproof. Wondering if a GoPro would be best? Or is there something better which will cover all 3 needs. Thanks.

Have a look at the DJI Osmo Action cam. It does everything the GoPro does plus you get a screen, front and back.
There are loads of reviews on YouTube & Google.

We are thinking of vlogging our next trip (if it goes ahead &#129310

I'm no way an expert

I think it would be, especially with the dual screen. I remember some complaints about the sound, that was a while ago. I think you can add an external microphone to it now.

Do a search on Youtube - "Vlogging with a DJI Osmo Action" Brings up a few videos.

Most vloggers use a canon G7 Mark 1 or Mark 2 I think.

Most vloggers seem to use a Canon G7Xii or the M50

Osmo action is a good option for an all in one camera for stills and video while being waterproof.
