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.



Can you recommend any dslr models or what to look out for when buying used with the intention of only using it as a webcam?


You 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.


Canon M200, Panasonic G7, Sony a5100 (oldest but can be bought for cheap and has good autofocus).
