If you want great image quality when streaming, it might be worth considering getting a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera. Modern DSLR cameras can record video in 4K and have adjustable resolution settings. Many also have flexible LCD lenses that allow you to shoot from tight angles. Most DSLR cameras are in a different class compared to webcams and have much better all-round capabilities.

DSLR cameras typically have zoom capabilities and better low-light capabilities. They may also have better autofocus capabilities, and you can purchase additional lenses to further enhance their capabilities. Another great thing about DSLR cameras is that they are portable and can be taken anywhere. They can operate without being connected to a computer and do not require any cables. Taking into account the various important purchasing factors when purchasing one of these cameras (price, resolution, durability, audio quality, etc.), we have compiled a list of the best DSLR cameras for streaming to take your setup to the next level this year.

The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV has been around for a few years now, but it still offers exceptional performance. It features a 30.4MP sensor and a DIGIC 6+ processor to deliver sharp and clear image quality. This camera can record in 4K at 24fps or 30fps, but with a 1.64 crop. It can also record in Full HD 1080p at 60fps and 720p at 120fps without audio. One of the coolest features is the Motion JPEG, which saves each frame as an image and allows you to extract it as a still later. The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV comes with a huge 3.2-inch touchscreen and also has built-in Wi-Fi and GPS. This camera has an impressive autofocus and is one of the best DSLR cameras for streaming or taking photos.

The Nikon D780 is another expensive camera with 4k capabilities. It has a 24-megapixel sensor and an Expeed 6 processor. The 51-point autofocus system is fast and accurate, but there is no built-in image stabilization. The main advantage of using this camera for streaming is its 4K UHD capability. It can record UHD at 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps and full HD 1920 x 1080 from 25 to 100 fps. Some full HD recording supports slow motion, and this camera also has a time-lapse function. Streaming your content from this camera is a breeze because it has built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Another advantage of this camera is that it has a sturdy magnesium alloy and carbon fiber construction with weather sealing to keep moisture and dirt out. It is an incredible camera, but it lacks a flash.
