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

"Oh heck!" thank you so much for all the guidance here - I had misunderstood a few things and you've saved me from making a mistake.

Thanks to you all for pointing out that only SOME EOS-M cameras are compatible with the EOS Webcam Utility (and that there's a difference between that and the EOS Utility!).

I'll give this some thought, but hunting around online now it looks like I'd be paying £300+ for the cheapest compatible body to start with. It would be a fantastic camera in itself - so I will consider it, but if it spends 90% of its time being a webcam then it's very expensive.

I will also consider going cheap and using the HDMI capture method suggested by tamaraw35, thank you. And I understand the DC adapter is how to power it during use.

Thank you once again to you all - I hate waste and my dimwitted research could've caused plenty.
