Why webcams aren’t good enough
For the cost of a small desk tripod, £50, and Canon’s latest Webcam Utility, I was able to repurpose a 2012 DSLR (1DX) into an absolutely fantastic webcam.

A 1DX is still an outstanding camera in professional use daily, well beyond overkill for a webcam! Still commands around 1000GBP on the used market.
Any of the Canon xxD or M series from the same era would be sufficient at a fraction of the cost.

Deffo overkill, but it was all I had kicking around (shucks) and works a treat.
