Canon’s new 'Pro' webcam software costs as much as just buying a capture card

for yourself — which supports the same 1080p / 60p and even goes up to 4K resolution without any subscription. As for all the advanced software control, OBS may be a pain in the ass to learn, but it’s free to use.It’s a relief to see that Canon will maintain the free tier for owners who just want the basics and can’t be bothered to buy additional hardware for streaming, but now it seems like a safe bet that most new features will be kept behind the paywall.

That’s especially the route I’d go if using the Pro version of the EOS Webcam Utility remains as frustrating as the time I tried the free version last year with a Canon EOS R. It didn’t take me long to uninstall the software and run screaming back to my capture card.

Well, it makes perfect sense to price yourself similarly to your closest competitor. If they manage to deliver similar value (tbd) why should they charge less for it?

Blood suckers...

Well onlyfans hoes can afford it

🙄

A 15 dollar Amazon capture card should do the trick here.

Madness.
