    Hmm I need to do some research. I’m not really sure what these are for or what they do, but I’ll look into it, thanks.

    Most cameras are including software since realistically they’re all basically the same and most of the “features” are added in the software

    Yes, I understand. It’s always been this way, but then the way to do it is to either sell the software, or include instructions on how to retrieve it, not to automatically drop an installer on someone’s PC the moment one connects the device. From my POV, I’m shopping for hardware. If I’m looking for software features, I can shop for those separately.

    I’ve heard that Logitech does do the same thing Razer does now, but I’ve also heard they don’t. It’s frustrating not being able to find this information.

    ELP and Mokose

    I’ll look into this as well. Seems like people have had focus issues though, based on reviews I saw.

    You’ve given me some options. I’m sure there’s some cheap brand out there somewhere that doesn’t force the installer, but it’s even hard to find facts about whether they do or don’t.


  • Ok, ok! I’ll give the smartphone a whirl. I have nothing to lose.

    I’ve got an old Samsung S8+ that I use as an mp3 player sometimes when I don’t want to be reachable by phone. I can try it, and if it works for me, I’ll look into a good mount. Maybe I’ll be able to find one that works with my existing scissor arm I’ve been using for my webcam.

    Does it seem to you that hardware has gotten worse the past 5 years? I feel like there are fewer decent options now than we had in the past. Enshittification hits hardware too, I suppose.
