Default Video Recorder for Youtube Advice

So looking for something beginner level and I currently dabble with Audacity and a Blue Yeti usb mic thru my outdated PC.

What is a good video camera for recording and good mic / sound options to consider for acoustic solos?

Thanks

Okay how about this one. Seems to have all the features I need and in my budget:

Anyone have experience with this? And now need a cyber Monday deal...

How about the camera/video on your phone, especially iPhone, and a Shure MV5?

You'll gain a lot of insight into making solo guitar videos by perusing Fran Guidry's "Homebrewed Music" website. Fran also reviews a few video cameras currently popular for doing this.

Default Zoom Q8

I'm looking into getting a Q8 for guitar videos. Being able to plug my guitars, effects, and mikes directly into the camera is the main benefit compared to the Q4.

There's a new version, the Q4n, with a different mic setup and slightly different features. I don't find these "music cameras" to be compelling, but some people really like them and get good results.

I've been more pleased with the results from my iPhone 6+ and an iRig Pro: http://www.homebrewedmusic.com/2015/...-lampg-videos/
