Best Camera for Vlogging | NEX5R

[bchizzle]

Hi fellow photographers/videographers/vloggers!

I've owned a Sony NEX5R for about a month now and I feel that it's the perfect vlogger's camera. It has been much better than a DSLR for me and also pairs nicely with my larger FS100. Check out my little video here if interested:

What other small form factor cameras do you guys like to use? I was also considering one of those fancy camcorders from sony with the OSS feature, but am happy I decided on the NEX.

Too bad you didn't buy from me la! It is a great camera though.

So, actually, I have a couple of other questions, if you don't mind.

So, I know that you said that you liked the camera because it was light; is that the only advantage over a DSLR (if you're willing to pay for one), or are there other reasons you said "it has been much better than a DSLR for me?"

Do the same lenses you mentioned in the video also fit on a DSLR? I'm especially interested in that fisheye lens.

The lenses from the Nex5 are only compatible with other E-Mount cameras which are Sony only.

Other advantage is the size. It's much smaller than say my Canon 7D. I own both DSLR and the 5R and if I need a lightweight camera for the day I can use the 5R without sacrificing image quality from using a point and shoot.

Are these a better choice then consumer camcorders? Ive been looking into buying a camcorder and I think a canon r40 camcorder is a good option? I don't really know anything about cameras and read that i should buy based on the image sensor? school me plz
