Re: Inexpensive camera for live streaming?

I would 100% get a Panasonic GH3.

$350 gets you AWESOME 1080 out of it, there are LUTS and cages and tons of other stuff available for it, and they don't have the recording limit/overheating problems other cameras would.

Truly IMO an easy decision to get that plus either the 15mm f/1.7 or 12mm f/2  if you're going to rig it up behind your computer monitor.

You can do the GH3+lens+capture card for your computer for LESS than the cost of an E-M1mk2 used, by itself, and have no recording limit, and better 1080 capture on top of that.
