No, they don't. They advertise that the camera can "turn into" a webcam with the right software or through HDMI out.

    That’s basically the same though, isn’t it?

      That's what the marketers wanted us to think, sure.

      It's like me trying to sell you a car that can "turn into" a boat with the right attachments. Notice I didn't say how much the attachments cost.

        Respectfully, you're just making things up.

    You're simply mistaken.

      The marketing material for OP's model:

      > Use the EOS Utility Webcam Beta Software (Mac and Windows) to turn your Canon camera into a high-quality webcam, or do the same using a clean HDMI output.

        Marketing material changes over time and varies between models and regions. Canon customers bought their cameras because Canon advertised a set of features. I bought mine because Canon advertised that I could use it as a webcam. I don't think you're making a persuasive argument.

          You still can use it as a webcam. It's right there in the marketing materials. Clean HDMI out. That lets you use it as a webcam.

          Canon advertising its potential to be used as a webcam doesn't mean it's a webcam. It means you can adapt it for use as one. And you still can. The adapter is an HDMI cable or software, which may or may not be free.
