Option 2 is get such as a Panasonic HC-V270 HD Camcorder. They autofocus which is important if the model is shooting herself. She can flick to auto and just press record. Plus light and small and cheap. The cheap one you can get is basic but HD. If you want Wi Fi opt for the more expensive models.

Dont bother with a photo camera as they may not auto focus. Plus the sound will suck.

The 3rd option is just to use a mobile phone. But buy mobile phone camera stands.
