The Diff: Webcam / Fancy Camera

Some other things to consider that I forgot to mention in the video…

  • mounting a webcam is meant to sit on a desk or mount on a computer. that’s easy. It’s light weight. A zv1 or other camera will need some kind of screw mount; either a tripod or some kind of camera tripod adapter
  • connecting getting video from a webcam to a computer is pretty easy. Most of them (if not built in) use USB. The zv1 has a USB option, but you can get better quality with an HDMI connection. Some DSLR cameras have USB and wireless options.
  • age some people try to get around high prices for DSLR cameras by buying old. The technology for this stuff has improved dramatically – especially picture quality and autofocus – in the past years, so buying elderly cameras is not a hack.
  • powering webcams are made to set on a desk and run continuously. These other cameras are not. The zv1 can get its power from the usb port (if enough amps are running into it) other cameras may need a dummy battery (looks like a battery with a plug coming out of it)
