Best camera for filming videos on?
I guess the current dream would be to become a Youtuber. Even if it's just a hobby, it's something i would love to do. I already have a blog and i know that it'd be alot better if i had pictures taken on a good quality camera rather than my IPhone.
Most youtubers use the Canon EOS 60D or the Canon EOS 600D. It's just far too expensive for a 16 year old to be purchasing or asking my parents to buy for me. Eventually i would love that camera but i do need one that is just cheaper.
Ideally i would need a flip out screen, auto focus and just high quality pictures and filming. (Filming being the priority between the quality of pictures and film)
Any links would be fam, I'm looking around £100 mark because i would be buying a ring light and microphone to enhance the video anyway. I know it is unlikely i will be able to get a camera for that cheap that will match with the quality of the canon cameras but just any that are similar to the following(and the canon cameras previously mentioned) would be fab:

Well you have to strive to meet your "dreams"!
Buy a Camcorder not a DSLR. Camcorders are made especially for making videos.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of the images you are already getting… And I wouldn't invest just yet in an additional camera… If you want to start producing material for 'You Tube' then you could get by with your iPhone just fine… Audio is where i'd advise you to spend your money, perhaps on an external audio recorder… The hassle with an external audio recorder is that it is just like a tape recorder… You get great audio… It's more awkward to work with because you have to 'sync' it in editing software… It's how the pro's do it though… Hollywood works this way and so do all the decent You Tube channels… It's worth your while learning how it's done properly.
Here's a quick You Tube clip shot with an iPhone 3GS… See what you think… Enjoy:
You are right, no £100 camera is going to match the performance of a DSLR. At just over your budget you can get the Canon SX170. Not only does it have 16x optical zoom, but it has aperture and shutter priority modes. These modes will allow you to grow in photography skills when you are ready. Unfortunately it doesn't have a viewfinder, but you can't have everything.

- Where should you look when filming a youtube video on your iphone, of yourself? Where should I focus my eyes? I was looking at myself in the reverse cam but that doesn't look right. Is it?
- What is the best bang for your buck video camera for retro style filming at 24 fps, 4K resolution, and no camera judder? Below $1,250? I use an anamorphic adapter lens for an iPhone 6s Plus(+filmic pro) and while the footage is 10 times better than basic iPhone footage, I can't help but notice the jerkiness of edged objects at 24 frames even when I'm holding the phone as still as I can. I've experimented with different frames, shutter speeds, ISO
- What is a good video filming and editing app? I need to film a project for my class and we will be doing it on my phone. I need a good iPhone app that will let me take a decent video and edit it (jump cuts) free please?
- What is a good cheap camera for filming? I'm going to start vlogging on YouTube this summer, since i have nothing better to do. But then i'm gonna need a good camera. I was thinking about a compact camera ofcourse, and i really want a nice quality so it will be watchable. My price range is 100 euro's.
