Grab an old DSLR off eBay, and get a suitable dummy battery DC adapter and intervalometer for it. If you get a Canon that Magic Lantern supports, you can use a software intervalometer instead. I'm seeing people sell Canon T3's with kit lens for <$100 on Ebay right now (though check descriptions to make sure they actually work!). Source: 11 months ago
If you're already in the Canon ecosystem, why not just get a used 5D mark III? Using Magic Lantern you can then record 3.5K RAW 14bits footages (usable directly under Resolve), may be enough to learn color grading. Source: 11 months ago

It’s a 1080p camera (unlike most which are 720p) that connects via USB-C and has outstanding image... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

Back in May 2022, I finally got my invite to order the long-awaited Opal C1 webcam. I was waiting for something to replace my Logitech Brio 4K, thinking I would get better image quality.
