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.

        I resent that accusation. We should have a Zoom call on two Canon webcams to hash this out.

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.
