Modern Sony cameras can be used as webcam without any software. Just plug in, select usb streaming, and done.

Sonys are some of the better cameras for software, but that's a low bar. I love my Nikons for picture taking though.

  • Nikon has been killing it lately. Z8, Z9, Z6iii, lots of cool lenses! If you're in the market for a full frame body and "the holy trinity" (16-35, 24-70, 70-200 F/2.8), you can't go wrong with any of the major 3. They're all very competitive.

    (but I would go with the Sony because I like their designs the most, Nikon would be my 2nd choice)

    Nikon users are missing out on a 16-35 2.8 though, but I'm sure Nikon is working on it.

    • I've only ever used Nikon starting with a D40 ~20 years ago. I regularly still use my D7100, but primarily use my Z5. The only time I'm ever envious of another camera system is when connection options like this come up. But then I go out and take pictures and I'm reminded why I'm probably Nikon for life :)
