Webcam vs DSLR/Mirrorless

Webcams offer simplicity and affordability with plug-and-play functionality. They're perfect for most streamers and provide excellent value. DSLR and mirrorless cameras deliver superior image quality with depth of field control and low-light performance, but require capture cards and additional setup. Consider webcams for ease of use or cameras for professional-grade video quality.

Camera Setup Tips

Position your camera at eye level for the most flattering angle. Ensure adequate lighting to maximize image quality. For DSLR/mirrorless setups, you'll need a capture card like the Elgato Cam Link 4K to connect to your streaming PC. Always use manual focus during streams to prevent autofocus hunting, and consider a dummy battery for continuous power during long streams.
