* Camera (DSLR): Sony A6000 — Bought on eBay | * Camera (DSLR): Sony A6000 — Bought on eBay w/o a lens. The A6000 has no ability to take external audio into the camera and this is a pretty big limitation because you have to mix in the computer and things might get out of sync. Getting newer versions (e.g., the A6500 or A6600 or maybe even lower) would "solve" this but the pre-amp isn't great so you might want a mixer anyway. Any decent camera that will take a good lense and do HD-resolution HDMI video out should work. | ||
* Lens: [https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369132-REG/sigma_402965_16mm_f_1_4_dc_dn.html Sigma 16mm F/1.4] — It seems like everybody loves this lens. It works with lots of cameras so you have to get the right one. Sony E- is the right one for the A-series Sony camera but you can get the same lens for other cameras and mounting systems. Great with shallow depth of field. It look great. It's expensive but it's what will make the video look good. | * Lens: [https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369132-REG/sigma_402965_16mm_f_1_4_dc_dn.html Sigma 16mm F/1.4] — It seems like everybody loves this lens.

* Capture card/device: [https://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-ATEM-Mini-Switcher/dp/B07XZKRDLB/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=atem+mini&qid=1594948839&sr=8-1 Blackmagic ATEM Mini] — You will need something to turn HDMI → Webcam. Streamers seem to love the ATEM Mini. The configuration/management software is not available for Linux but seems to work though through Wine and Windows running in a virtual machine. The way we use the setup, we basically just don't need to use the software. If you were doing a lot of stuff with the chroma-key features (or similar) from Linux, this might be a bigger issue. If you don't need/want the mixer, the Elgato Camlink is a good non-interactive option that just does the conversion but you might need to get an audio embedder in addition to the Camlink so the total cost will be similar ($100+ for each). | * Capture card/device: [https://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-ATEM-Mini-Switcher/dp/B07XZKRDLB/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=atem+mini&qid=1594948839&sr=8-1 Blackmagic ATEM Mini] — You will need something to turn HDMI → Webcam.
