Best compact camera for vlogging?

For vlogging, I'd start with the Canon PowerShot V10 if you want a pocket camera with a fixed ultra-wide lens and a built-in stand. It's the simplest way to get that arm's-length framing.

If you want more flexibility, the Sony ZV-1 II has a wider 18-50mm-equivalent zoom, so you can frame yourself at arm's length and still pull back a little. The Sony ZV-1F is the simpler option, with a fixed 20mm-equivalent lens that suits arm's-length shooting well.

Whichever you pick, look for the features in the vlogging guide: a wide lens, a microphone input, and light weight. Audio matters more than the camera's image quality, so budget for a microphone too.
