Looking for a travel vlogging camera under $400 before Prime Day. I saw reviews hyping the Sony ZV-1F, but others say the fixed lens is too limiting, and the Canon G7X is still overpriced. Which budget vlogging cameras should I actually watch for deals on this Prime Day?

Keep an eye out for the Panasonic Lumix G7 Mirrorless Camera with 14-42mm Lens on Prime Day! It completely solves the fixed lens issue. You get a fantastic Micro Four Thirds sensor, amazing 4K video at 30fps, and that crucial fully articulating touchscreen. The specs are honestly unmatched for a budget setup.

I was in your shoes last year and ended up grabbing the Sony ZV-1F Vlog Camera. Honestly, I've been super satisfied with it and have no real complaints. People worry about the fixed lens, but for vlogging, it is wide enough that you dont need to stretch your arm out. Here is how I see the top budget picks for Prime Day:
- Sony ZV-1F Vlog Camera
- Great colors out of the box and the active stabilization works well for walking. Just no zoom.
- Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II Camera
- The colors are still gorgeous, but the autofocus is kinda slow for quick action.
- DJI Osmo Action 4 Standard Combo
- Indestructible and has crazy good stabilization if you do active travel stuff. If the ZV-1F goes on sale, it is a really safe bet.

Saw this today! I saved tons buying refurbished last year for that sweet 120fps slow-mo! My tips:
- Look for refurb deals
- Buy cheap third-party batteries
