I just hook it up with the USB-C cable and it shows up as a webcam. I've been using the EOS R as my webcam with the RF 35mm F1.8 lens and it's working pretty great. With newer Canon DSLR bodies you can use the Canon Webcam Utility to directly get the video feed show up as a webcam, with just a USB cable. Good software like OBS can correct for this though.įinally made an account, just to reply to this. The HDMI to USB conversion adds a tiny delay to the image which can put your audio out of sync if you are using a standard USB microphone. My Camlink cost WAY more than that, so I have my doubts about the knockoff quality.įinally, you need good audio capture that importantly is in sync with the picture. I've already got an Elgato CamLink (bought for a different reason a couple of years ago), but you can get cheap China knockoffs for about £15, I don't know how good they are though. This converts the cameras HDMI output into a standard USB Webcam input. The lowest cost Canon DSLR body I've seen with unrestricted clean HDMI or that can take the Magic Lantern firmware is about £150. I've got a couple of old Canon DSLRs (That don't do clean HDMI) and a load of lenses, so I've been watching Ebay for a newer model Canon DSLR that I can afford. There are a few sites out there that list the preferable models. The only cost-viable methods to get 'broadcast quality' imagery for streaming/recording right now is to buy a second hand DLSR or mirrorless camera that has 'clean' HDMI out that works without the camera auto-shutting down after X amount of time. Manufacturers spouting specs like '4k' are deliberately misleading the public if the sensor and/or the lens aren't also upgraded. As I'm sure most of us know, the main problems with 'webcams', either the built-in ones or USB ones that you perch on top of your monitor, are the lens size, and the CCD/CMOS image sensor size. I've also investigated this quite deeply.
