Get a cheap camera for YouTube beginners without sacrificing quality. I tested a used $260 Panasonic G7 against my $1,900 Sony a7IV to see if the expensive camera is really necessary.

The comparison revealed significant differences in low light and autofocus, but surprisingly, everything else was nearly identical at 1080p. This video is for people who think gear is a barrier to starting a channel, especially those in their 20s and 30s watching on their phones.

I'd spend money on a good lav mic, a diffusion panel, and a manual lens before upgrading the camera body. However, if you shoot indoors at night or film moving subjects, the better body is worth the investment.
