- Notes:
I was thinking about getting the Nikon Z30, because I have a bunch of Nikon lenses from my old shooter days. But it turns out that not only do I need to use a capture card to get it to work as a Webcam on my Mac, but I can't even use my old lenses with the FTZ adapter. This has me rethinking the entire Nikon platform.
I'll be using the camera for Zoom/Teams every day, but also record courses on Streamyard and guest on lots of webinars. I'd also like to take the camera to live conferences where I am speaking.
Is there any mirrorless camera that can I can use with Zoom/Teams/Streamyard without a capture card that I should buy instead? I've heard good things about Panasonic and the Sony ZV E10 II, but I really don't want the complexity or delay of a capture card.
EDIT: Video recording needs to be able to capture at least 2 hours of continuous video.
