    Lately I’ve been browsing MPB used camera market for an upgrade to my decade old Canon clunker because they want to charge a monthly fee to use it with my PC.

    Its nice to see progress made for Open Source cameras but I don’t see it being competittive with used cameras price-wise.

        Yes, basic 720p is free but if you have an old 1080p camera then you gotta pay up or deal with lower res or unclean hdmi out.

        There are no open source drivers for Canons.

            I’ll test it out when I get back and let you know if thats true.

            EDIT: Just remembered I gave the old camera to a relative because I was planning to upgrade lmao. Where were you months ago?!
