spent hours setting up my new camera (Canon 6D Mark II) for my weekly voiceover show although I thought it would be pretty straight forward. The hardest part was (surprisingly) finding out how to handle the external microphone input (you actually need to be in Manual mode of the camera - I was surprised to hear that). The camera in manual mode means adjustments to make. So, for a quick and dirty video recording of an episode I'd actually prefer to use the iPhone X or my Canon G16, and externally record through the Zoom H5 as always. Also, for vlogging (or even traveling) I don't see me using a big fat device like the 6D Mark II, it's really heavy for me because I'm used to a bridge camera like the Canon G16 or the iPhone. The importance of the weight of a camera cannot be stressed enought!
