Which is better for vlogging?

The Canon EOS R50 has the edge for video: 4K 30p oversampled from 6K, Full HD 120p, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II subject tracking. The Nikon Z 30 records up to 125 minutes and has in-body stabilization, which helps handheld shots.

Is the Canon worth the extra money?

At $699.00 versus $556.95 as of November 4, 2026, you pay about $142 more for more resolution, better autofocus and stronger video specs. If you mostly shoot stills and video casually, the Nikon covers it for less.
