    Is there really a demand for webcams nowadays (especially in the pro market and their expensive cameras), or is it Canon trying to mimick phone subscriptions? I’m asking this because I’m not a photographer, but the webcam fad seems to have died decades ago and I’m confused by this.

      Many people are still need to Zoom or telecommute all of a sudden your hobby camera becomes a legitimate business expense or tax deduction.

      For those of us who are dedicated amateurs, work from home has added the need to attend meetings by video

      And if you’ve got a good camera, some studio lights, and a nice portrait lens, you can absolutely outclass all the other people using laptop or phone cameras

      So it really is critical to webcamify your digital SLR or mirrorless

      It came back during Covid, I have a box of webcams now.

      They’re much more targeting workers nowadays.
