Affordable video camera to make good quality videos?

For events and news, good camcorders are better. Audio is easier and they're easier to pick up and start shooting. And by the time you've stopped down the lens on an SLR to give you enough depth of field for a fast-moving scene, there sometimes isn't that much difference in low light performance. https://zewawise.com/best-video-cameras-for-sports-filming/

I remember MKBHD said to just get started and make videos using your phone camera. I assume he meant this if you have a higher end phone like a Samsung or iPhone.
