Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

I read that a good microphone is more important that a good camera.
Also content and personality trumps audio or video quality so maybe try first with the phone before buying anything expensive?
the Nikon Z30 has extremely good built in mic, comes with noise suppression and a function that detects vocal range better. Watched Kai W's video, surely it's not as crisp as his dedicated wireless microphone, but you actually want that for VLOGs otherwise it sounds like you're shouting all the time.
yea, i've been telling my partner to start with a phone first to see if she likes it. The quality difference (at least in day light) is negligible compared to an APS-C with kit lens if you disregard depth of field. she's very insistent on making the first move first by buying the camera. she also needs a video editing device, headache trying to work with a budget of around RM3k that has a dGPU and good colour accuracy and preferably 15/16inch. Proposing her to build a PC instead for cheaper.
she does have a very niche, unconventional food-related content idea in mind, so i don't want to dissuade her too much. I've never seen her being so excited about something to be honest.
