Answer

What is the best camera for YouTube?

The Sony ZV-E1, Panasonic Lumix S5 II, and Canon EOS R6 Mark II are the current YouTube workhorses — uncropped 4K, reliable autofocus on faces, and no recording limits. Add a wireless lav mic before you spend more on the body.

Do I need a full-frame camera for YouTube?

No. The biggest visual upgrade is good light and a fast lens, not a bigger sensor.
