Hot take: I tried filming on my phone versus a proper camera for a month and it changed my game

For my channel, I used my phone for all my talking head shots for like 6 months. Last month I finally rented a Sony ZV-E10 and the difference is not even close. The audio is cleaner, the background blur actually looks professional, and editing the footage is way faster. I feel dumb for sticking with the phone for so long just because it was easy. Anyone else make a switch that felt embarrassingly obvious in hindsight?

Wait you used your phone for SIX months... I can't even imagine. My old videos would look so bad now.

How long did you think phone video was good enough before trying a real camera?

Honestly I did the exact same thing with my old phone for almost a year. Tbh the moment I saw my face in focus with a real lens and not that weird phone sharpness, I wanted to delete my whole channel. The audio alone made me sound like a different person, way less echo.
