- formerly_proven 2y agoI don't think too many people are buying a Nikon solely for this purpose, but rather they already have it and _also_ use it as a webcam. The main advantage there is - in my view anyway - that it allows you to control the field of view easily, compared to the built-in webcam. The far better image quality is just a bonus.
- tartoran 2y agoAbsolutely but when you set up one as a webcam you usually leave it in place as a webcam setup unless you want natural bokeths only from time to time. It also depends on the line of work, if you're in some media related field and it is required to have pristine streaming, well, that is a whole different story.
- formerly_proven 2y agoFor me it’s super quick to set up, I just put the 40/2 lens on, move two switches (photo/movie selector to movie and mode dial to a user preset position) and drop it into a quick release plate. Plug in HDMI and turn on/off as needed.
- jessekv 2y agoNot sure its teams but half the video calls I am in feature someone's ear or hair flickering in and out of the focus mask. For me that can be quite distracting. One person I am in calls with regularly recently got a professional A/V setup for video calls and it is such a treat to get in a call with them. So I think people would notice and appreciate a good setup?
