Cameras

Video quality depends on sensor, lens, lighting and how the camera connects to your computer. A good camera in poor light will still look poor.

Buying advice

Confirm clean HDMI output or native USB video support before you buy.
Check for continuous power options, because internal batteries can stop long streams.
Look at lens options and low-light performance, not just resolution.

Clean HDMI / UVC output: Sends video without on-screen overlays, so it can go into a capture card or straight into a computer.
Sensor size: Larger sensors tend to handle low light better.
Autofocus: Reliable autofocus is important for a solo presenter.
Overheating limits: Some cameras have recording time limits or heat issues. Check before relying on one for long broadcasts.
