I'm trying to work out the best camera to make still and video pictures. Unfortunately I'm computer/camera illiterate.
I'd like to make images and videos of modelmaking and possibly bike maintenance i.e. indoors, so I'd need to have a monitor on the camera to check the picture from in front. I did a few trials on my cell phone but the quality isn't great for anything other then close-ups, so I'm looking for a camera that can take decent (for blog or YouTube) pictures.
I notice there are some cameras which have a screen I can turn to face me, but these look expensive and the screen is of necessity rather small so I was wondering if it's possible to connect a camera to a laptop or a screen to save money and also get a better view.
One redeeming feature on the smart phone is the voice activation because I generally need both hands for what I'm doing. Is this an option on 'normal' cameras?
