Considering upgrading my #camera game for a new job. Have $800 to spend (not necessarily looking to spend it all). Will be using with #Linux (#NixOS). Or can still be a #webcam, but wanting to go higher end. Would like the depth of field look. Also have direct light behind me (windows). Suggestions?

Personally using a Canon R50 (not R50V), but I have heard good things about the Sony ZV-E10. You should manage your expectations though as the bodies alone can very easily cost your budget, not including any lenses. You may want to look out for creator combos or look on used market.

Additionally, you may want to try to look for used lenses. They're hit-and-miss, but I have had good exp with kamerastore.fi. For webcam usage, 24-35mm should be right up your alley. Keep an eye out for cheap autofocus lenses too.

The R50 bundle I bought came with the "kit" lens of 18-48mm F4.5-5.6. Was a great deal at the time, no regrets. Got a cheap TTArtisans 35mm prime MF lens and a used Canon 100-300 EF lens (cheaper on used market, just need EF-RF adapter).
