Im a new youtuber looking for camera suggestions!

You need to give us a budget.

Without that, I'll give you the standard starter recommendation. A phone, a phone cage, an external mic and an external light. Everything besides the phone will run you about $90USD

This. You don't need anything other than a phone to be a lifestyle vlogger. Just get started with your phone and from there you can gather some research on what cameras are good. There's a guy called "Camera Conspiracies" that does humorous camera reviews and actually shows the cameras in action. To be honest, YouTube would be your best friend here. We can give you some camera brand and model suggestions, but you'll find plenty more options as well as actual real world footage examples on YouTube.
"best camera for beginners" in YouTube will probably show you everything you need. Roberto Blake is also fantastic with camera knowledge.

Would recommend the Sony ZV-1

Get started with what you have. Panasonic G90 or a Canon M50 are just as good.

I use the Sony HX80 (less expensive than most) good quality and mega zoom! flip screen etc.. All included.
Lightweight too. Just an idea and option. (is it the best?) nope.... but for the price it's a very good one.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300 cost is about $399, but this is a camera you will have for a long, long time. Kind of middle of the road, but very nice.

Man, I forgot about the FZ! It hasn't had the publicity of the others. So many great cameras these days that it's hard to go wrong.

You can always start with your phone or even a GoPro if you have one of those laying around. Don't need to be super fancy to start.

I just use my iPhone 7 for this, it does the trick. Good Luck

Try shooting your basic videos in your mobile. That will give you what quality you are lookjing for and what improvements you need in your video.
