>>4142412There's many sketch comedian sorts doing well on Youtube and zoomer social media who 100% are just filming their bits on a recent iPhone/Samsung/Pixel or whatever. Good light is necessary for the best image, and under such ideal conditions, the curve of camera performance flattens considerably across the board, especially for footage that's gonna be uploaded to social media, compressed, and viewed mostly on other phones.
In addition to figuring out lighting, audio is pretty much always (unless filming in a genre where sounds are just always dubbed over in post) a much more important thing to spend on and get correct versus a fancy camera. People can enjoy pretty mediocre visuals if the content is good, but nobody wants to sit through muddy, tinny dogshit audio for long. Get a good boom or lav set up depending on how you're going to be going about things and learn about how it all works, audio processing, etc.
