Canon Wants $5/Month to Use Your Expensive Camera as a Webcam
2025-01-17
A blogger recounts his frustration with Canon's software requiring a $4.99 monthly or $49.99 annual subscription to fully utilize his Canon camera as a webcam. Despite the headline's $6299 price tag, his camera cost significantly less. Even with the paid subscription, features like brightness and color correction are limited, and only 720p video is available. The author argues that this subscription model is unjustified for a hardware company with nearly $30 billion in profit.
