oh yeah, the webcams suck big time. even the expensive ones. just get a dslr over hdmi. it's 100x better and used dslr is cheap these days. you can even get panasonic gh4/5 which is a real video camera.
- partiallogic 6y agoCan you recommend any dslr models or what to look out for when buying used with the intention of only using it as a webcam?
- piranha 6y agoCanon M200, Panasonic G7, Sony a5100 (oldest but can be bought for cheap and has good autofocus).
- murkt 6y agoYou actually want a mirrorless camera, not a DSLR one. If you intend to only use it as a webcam, probably just buy Panasonic G7 or Canon M200 for $500.
- 02020202 6y agoDSLR will be larger than mirorrless. go for MFT mount(panasonic/olympus), they have smaller lenses. like the panasonic gh series. if you get older dslr make sure the hdmi is 1080p, not 720p. since you won't do any recording there is nothing else to worry about. you will be piping the image straight into computer via video capture card. if you would want to use it for video elsewhere, make sure you get "video camera" and not "photo camera" because due to import taxes they have limited recording time for 5-15 minutes. the gh series is a sure bet and cheapest option. gh4 is old but will do the job. used gh5 can be got for cheap and if you want to up it a bit get the gh5s.
