Review on πŸ“· Canon EOS M200 Compact Vlogging Camera with 4K Video, Touch Panel LCD, Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth - White by Dave Connelly

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Overheats after 5 minutes of operation. Window closed for 1 day on return leaving product stuck.

My biggest gripe with this product is that it's unusable unless you're using a capture card's HDMI output to record at 1080p at 60 fps. how the webcam causes the device to overheat and turn off after about 15-20 minutes. Shooting straight from the camera at ANY resolution or frame rate will cause the device to overheat within 15-30 minutes. Simply turning the power on and off with the HDMI off will result in overheating and shutdown after about 30 minutes. What's the point of this camera if you have to connect a cooler to it to even work? It didn't even give me an extra minute of usage. I checked the website and it seems the only solution is to use it for 9 minutes, turn it off for 3-9 minutes, then rinse and repeat. If you use this more than one webcam I would suggest almost ANY other camera. Just grab a GoPro to shoot with high FPS and better lighting and you'll be better off.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Nothing
