Re: Which EOS-M camera to use as a webcam

I use my M50 with the 22mm f/2, which is great because it's small and light and has a good focal length and aperture for videoconferencing with a blurred background. The Sigma 30mm (or Canon 32mm) also works well if you want a tighter crop or have the camera farther away. I don't know if the M50 can be powered via USB, but I use this adapter, which works great:

I have used it for video conferences over an hour with no issues. However, I don't use the Webcam Utility as it's unavailable for my OS (Linux), so I don't know if things may be different with the official software.
