40MP, IBIS, and a fixed 35mm-equivalent lens in a camera the size of a paperback. There's a reason the waitlist is six months long.

What actually matters for vlogging

Ignore the megapixel race. A great vlogging camera nails three things: an autofocus system that locks onto your face and refuses to drift, stabilization good enough to walk and talk without nausea, and a flip-out screen so you can see your own framing.

Audio is the silent killer — onboard mics are universally bad, so factor a cold-shoe shotgun or wireless lav into the budget. We call it out in every review.
