I thought the same and went looking recently, Black Magic gear looks well suited.

Are you using this?

When I looked the black magic camera seemed to require a human running it to get things to work well.

There were no clear winners, but these were the options I looked at as best:

- LUMIX GH5, high quality but old, bad autofocus

- LUMIX G100, new and cheaper, bad autofocus

- Sony ZV1, new and great autofocus, no interchangeable lens

I ended up unable to decide between them.

I read about that too and they take canon lenses.

Then I realized... yikes! they cost more than many canon bodies!

Except that is a $1000+ setup.
Mirrorless without auto focus for webcam? Sony's RX100Mx should be fine.
