The way I see it, some people deserve to be scammed. Cybertruck is the perfect example, anyone who bought that rolling sharp edged coffin deserves what they get. That does not mean that Tesla deserves to get to scam them. Two things can be true, but we can only make positive change by focusing on the latter.
Why use your company's developers to make customers happy on an ongoing basis when you could instead remind them on a monthly basis how much they should find another supplier?
I always just assume they are overcompensating. It is concerning that they suggest not wasting money = not having money, it is a clear push for zombie consumerism, which is unsustainable, and is also being used in this instance to suggest that a persons worth has anything to do with possessions, or luck. You cannot take it with you, we all know that, it makes sense to focus on a more altruistic, and genuinely positive approach to life.
I love how they call their customers free users. Not like you bought the product or anything. Look if they start handing this hardware out for free then its a different story. Call me a free user. Don't call me a free user when I absolutely had to pay to use it
I'm pretty sure if that's the case you can sue them for the first sale doctrine violations, because you "purchased hardware" you didn't get offered hardware for free or to a monthly subscription or rental fee. That's what cable/satellite boxes companies basically do for their cable/satellite boxes.

In some cases, I wouldn’t even say it’s a small steps… There are some companies that literally make this entire statement a reality a lot faster than others.
Speaking of Canon, there’s also a looming privacy issue. I wanted to suggest this story on CAT’s Discord, but here it is, anyway. Last week, I opened Canon’s Camera Connect app to transfer photos to my phone, and guess what? Later in 2025, users will be required to create an account just to transfer pictures from their camera (which happens over the local network; there’s no cloud involved). But there’s even more to it, and at this point I don’t even know if it’s incompetence or malice. When you actually transfer photos, the app requires FULL ACCESS to your library (on the iPhone, at least): not “Add Only” and not “Selected Photos” but “Full Access.” Coupled with the upcoming account requirement, this looks plain creepy.
That is insane. You know it'll become a subscription at some point too. Totally fine if they're storing cloud backups or enabling cloud-based AI upscaling or something (which is of course the excuse every company will use, so they need to allow use of the app without a login). Can you disable auto-updates? Or roll-back to the previous version of the app then disable updates? At some point they decided to do this, and if you isolate the app locally before they (presumably) built in the update checker or countdown that'll enable that fake "requirement" I'd imagine you'll be set if you really operate that functionality independent of the company. I had this kind of thing happen to me one too many times and disabled automatic updates for most everything like 10-15 years ago. It's a pain to read the latest reviews before updating, but for things I care about that don't need bleeding edge security it's worth it. Saved me from so many bad updates that broke things too. Not sure if iPhone will let you sideload old apps like Android though
Have you screenshot the stuff? You're better off posting it in discord so everyone can see. And if you aren't able to roll back to the version before this and disable auto update in your iPhone, you should get an Android as backup. I have faced similar issue with the one who reply you before me and did what he did for some apps.
@ Yep, will post it today or tomorrow 🙌🏻 Frankly, I only use that app from time to time because it’s kinda limited, especially when it comes to RAW pics. I suppose this change will make me use it even less, so no, Canon, your trick’s not working.
When Canon banned 3rd party manufacturers from making AF RF lenses I immediately stopped considering them for any purchases whatsoever. Watching this video makes me even more convinced that I don't want anything to do with Canon.
Unfortunately it's probably only a matter of time before other camera manufacturers hop on this bandwagon of enshittification. Perhaps MBAs need to join lawyers as a profession of infamy.
Product manufacturers should be forced to place 'subscription required' in large font on their packaging, otherwise they should be banned from ever requiring a subscription for that product, ever.
You don't get it, it's an added feature to a camera, you can still use your camera to take photos and videos completely fine, the percentage of people buying a mirrorless camera exclusively for webcam use is abysmal...
Don't wait for the manufacturers, just have someone design a "subscription required" sticker and post it for people to download. Having stickers printed is pretty cheap, stick them on everything in the store that requires a subscription.
Sony stopped my perfectly good third-party batteries from working with a firmware "update". Now I get a nag screen I have to click on every time I turn the camera on. That has made me miss shots with my $3k camera.

I'm a Nikon and Fuji shooter, but I was looking at a Canon for my future camera. Not anymore. Canon's blacklisted for life now. I will also make sure to make my students aware of this inexcusable anti-consumer exploitation next time I teach a photography course, which should be about in a month or so.
So you didn't watch the entire video, right ? Basically Canons cameras didn't do webcam at all. Canon put that software together during the lockdowns in 2020. Every Canon camera launched after October 2022 has full and unlimited 1080p UVC build in. No software needed.
yeah, it's going to suck for them. When they think "oh we just have to push a few years' worth of bought and paid for products out. Then everything can be a subscription". But then the consumer just crowdsources dishwashers, cars, and devices that were manufactured like the 90s and 00s... and leaves the money hungry brands in the dust.
I bought a toaster that was made in the 50s because of the unreliable new plastic smart toasters. My toaster toasts the toast to a certain color, no matter the temperature of the toast. There is no lever, it lowers, toasts, and raises itself when I pop the toast in. The patent expired years ago. There is no smart functionality. There are no electronics. It's just a bimetallic strip!
the companies are lobbying to make it illegal, and in america there are probably laws against it since it "circumvents copyright protection" or something
From a software dev perspective, the claim that it took extra work to unlock 1080p capabilities over 720p and therefore should cost a fee for you to use it is BS. 720p is just scaled down from the native res.
You know how when toys are sold they have to have a disclaimer on the box or advertising that says "batteries not included." Why are these companies not held to that same standard? All advertising and containers for these products should come with a clear message (on the front of the box) saying "functionality/software not included."
This is the problem of the everything as a service model that companies and individuals are chasing as the golden solution to make money. People only have so much to spend, we're not infinite revenue streams for everyone. One example, if everyone decided to charge $1 per view on RUclips, that would add up over a short period of time.
That's another and a major reason why I've said myself that subscription models aren't feasible as a normal business practice generally applied. No one has an unlimited monetary supply. This model not only affects the finances of the customer but likewise affects the ability of a person to support the business more as well as other businesses. The more businesses move to such an insane financial model, the less people are able to do with their available money and the less they're able to buy as well as support other businesses. It's so counterproductive, so selfish and corrupt in a lot of ways, and prevents one from being able to enjoy a good quality of life. As for this so-called free market nonsense and propaganda that's promulgated, spewed forth as it were, by virtually everyone, there exists no such thing in human society. Virtually everything is artificially controlled and manipulated. This is contrary to a free market paradigm, a free market economy. Things are controlled, manipulated, then we're extorted out of our money. The market, rather than being based on a sane implementation of the concept of service, is on the contrary about a selfish grab for more and more profit at any cost. And ignorant humans call this a free market. Unbelievable.

Dude! Im a Nigerian expat living in Berlin who, just this last weekend was about creating some devops content online with my old canon 70d with OBS. I shit you not, 2 weekends ago i spent the entire weekend troubleshooting this webcam utility. Its a terrible buggy glitchy software. Doesnt connect exactly when you want it to and only gives 720p. I then realized there was a paid pro version that allows my cameras full 1080p and allows multiple webcams at once. Can you imagine that? If you have 5 canon cameras to connect as input webcam source in obs you need to pay canon for the software to use multiple cameras simultaneously 😅. Anyways keep up the good work Mr rossman.

These things start at $2 or $5 at first, until you suddenly find out the service jumps to $10 or $20.. with more advanced features locked behind even larger fees. Even at the cheapest pricing if there are multiple manufacturers pulling this shit the small streams become a river. I agree though - the biggest issue is that a company can decide to pull support and I'm shit outta luck. Can't even wave bills in front of their face to get the features working again.

I think we should all just source and buy old timey products and give a big middle finger to all these companies. How did companies survive in yester years before subscriptions? Enough already.
I personally try to avoid such companies, I can only tolerate subscription if it offers something valuabe enough for me and does some work for me. Unlocking the 1080p is not doing anything, its just extortion. Unfortunately average customer wont question this unless he is really pissed and fed up with nonsense subscriptions.

Not long ago i bought my first interchangeable lens camera. Of course, all companies have shady stuff going on, but i'm so happy that i didn't go for canon. In a big part, thanks to you!
They started charging $120 for a firmware update that gives you "guidelines" in certain cameras as well, essentially just an overlay in cameras that already have grid lines that helps compose. It seems like they are moving towards forced registration to use their terrible digital photo professional software too.
yeah Louis should talk about that, it's just disgusting how Sony, Canon and Nikon (not Fuji, they're the good guys) barely add any features during firmware updates, and they make you pay for some of them... Sony is the worst of them, they put some easy to integrate features on the newer version so that you're forced to upgrade if you need it badly. I had an a7r4 that didn't have a bulb timer integrated (feature that had existed on canon for almost 10 years btw). For me it was the difference between using an external intervallometer that compromises weather sealing or having it in software easily accesible. This is only a small example, there are so many more example of sony not caring to add simple software functionalities even on 4k$+ PROFESSIONAL cameras... And you still decide to still buy the newer model because you invested so much in Sony lenses.
@@tdg9281 you can really tell how many features are artificially locked from looking at the old cameras hacked with magic lantern, suddenly a camera that couldn't do raw video now could. It's sad it's so hard to crack the new cameras
oh yeah it totally makes sense because how dare you buy a camera for photography and try to use it for anyhing else! pay up or buy a dedicated webcam from us!!!
Say what you want about Apple, but I purchased Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro as a student like a decade ago for $199 for the entire suite.. (maybe a bit more) and I have never had to pay again. As someone who isn't a professional creative person, I still use my software frequently to find voice over work, record guitar/singing, and edit some videos. It's a pretty crazy deal especially in today's ecosystem.
Glad I found this channel...laughing so much. Also first time I have had to slow the sound down on a youtube video so I can keep up with what you saying...brilliant!
Louis this is the perfect use of Clinton - not at all clickbait because the title tells us what the intro is all about and the thumbnail describes what we are all watching for!
This is actually what convinced me to sell my R6 and get an older Sony. I actually wanted to use it as a webcam and was BEYOND disappointed to find that I couldn’t use a full frame camera to get 1080p out of a new camera. It can do 4k30, but I can’t use 1080p60 for a webcam source (without micro transactions)? Absolutely disgusting levels of greed.
Clearly, Canon haven't considered the optics (heh), of how customers might actually perceive this BS decision. Whoever signed off on this needs to have their head read.
Business types of people are amongst some of the most irrational types of people in existence. They're actually just as irrational as most governmental types of people.
I have been a loyal Canon user since I started doing photography. I am at the point now where I am looking to upgrade my DSLR this year. I have been hearing a lot about unfavorable practices coming from Canon lately, I will most likely go with a different model this time around. A shame really.
That DSLR is probably still a pretty capable shooter, eg. if it's an older-model 5D, I'd personally continue using it until it dies and then switch to L-mount or Micro 4/3 that's at least on some level an open platform, and then adapt your pre-existing EF-mount glass to that platform. At least if you went for either of the two aforementioned platforms, due to how they're licensed, there's not only multiple manufacturers for both bodies and glass already, but others could theoretically enter those platforms if they paid the appropriate fee, eg. if OM Digital went under or Panasonic started acting like Canon, someone else could theoretically start making bodies, glass, or both for Micro 4/3 after they paid the entry fee, and I assume L-mount is structured similarly to Micro 4/3 in terms of licensing, while Canon keeps the cards for RF-mount close to the chest by contrast. Eg. for an L-mount body, if a certain Lumix body you're looking at has something about it you don't like, you could buy a Leica or Sigma body for that platform, or OM Digital for MFT.
All derived from the same people. Most religions, races, and nations historically considered it a capital offense, before a certain group came to them.
I have been using a Mobius Maxi camera for more than seven years. It's a multipurpose camera that can be used for motion-activated security, as well as a dashcam and webcam. It's very good and can do 4k in webcam mode without issues. What I like about it is that you can choose how fine the video can be: normal, fine, and super-fine. It even lets you select the encapsulation format MOV or MP4. Now, there is another one, Mobius Maxi MM4K 30fps. It costs less than a hundred bucks. I like to take it on road trips to record the scenery (Yosemite, Big Basin, Kings). It never disappoints.
From my understanding (i’m a videographer), certainly here in the EU, In 2006, the European Union created a law that added an import duty of 5-12% to any video camera. What determined whether a camera was a video camera? In short, the ability to record longer than 30 minutes. Thus, companies like Canon and Nikon decided to cap their video clip lengths, preventing their enthusiast and prosumer cameras from being considered video cameras. Either way, it is shitty that manufacturers do this. I’d rather pay a little extra as a one off to enable me to use my camera how i want to.
I feel like they're technically correct. They added this later, it wasn't really part of the product. But they're not ethically correct and it's bad business practice. You can be both right and an asshole.
You could use a Canon as a webcam for as long as EOS was a thing, just with low resolution of 550p. You can't get more through the cable meaning all this software does is upscale the 550p stream to 1080p

On the Transport Evolved channel they have pointed out that the lovely home chargers they got for their EVs had the very issue you mention with the company dropping support. Thankfully in that case, some nice folks got together and made a nice replacement PCB that you can put in the box to make it function again so they can charge their cars with no trouble. BTW: Nice cat.
If a company does that, I'd assume they are either very greedy or in deep shit and desperate for money. Either way, not a sign to make any business with them.
There was a time where features that required hardware upgrades costed money, and features that were entirely software are free. Now we live in a time where they've converted software features that were free into software features that are subscription based. Thanks RUclips!
I worked at GE for a while, don't worry subscriptions are coming to pans. They already have models that talk to the stove using Bluetooth, and the stove has WiFi. Only a matter of time until you need a subscription to get full heating power.
The whole subscription model has gotten predatory. While I'm perfectly fine subscribing to a streaming service, subscription software or automobile options really gives me a case of the red ass. You raised a really good point about subscription servers being turned off at some point.
The same people who call you a "free user" for using the base, non-subscription versions of software for a $900 camera are the same people who call Playstation Plus/Xbox Game Pass games "free games" ...Morons. 🤦♂
I bought one of their cameras that fall into that category. It wasn't clear that it cost more for 1080p. It simply listed that as a capability with using additional software. So after I had the camera is when I saw it cost monthly. I immediately left a 1 star review for the omission and purchased a capture card to be able to capture using the mini HDMI output from the camera. Over time the card will have paid for itself while giving even more functionality.

But there’s even more to it, and at this point I don’t even know if it’s incompetence or malice. When you actually transfer photos, the app requires FULL ACCESS to your library (on the iPhone, at least): not “Add Only” and not “Selected Photos” but “Full Access.” Coupled with the upcoming account requirement, this looks plain creepy.
That is insane. You know it'll become a subscription at some point too. Totally fine if they're storing cloud backups or enabling cloud-based AI upscaling or something (which is of course the excuse every company will use, so they need to allow use of the app without a login).
Can you disable auto-updates? Or roll-back to the previous version of the app then disable updates? At some point they decided to do this, and if you isolate the app locally before they (presumably) built in the update checker or countdown that'll enable that fake "requirement" I'd imagine you'll be set if you really operate that functionality independent of the company.
I had this kind of thing happen to me one too many times and disabled automatic updates for most everything like 10-15 years ago. It's a pain to read the latest reviews before updating, but for things I care about that don't need bleeding edge security it's worth it. Saved me from so many bad updates that broke things too. Not sure if iPhone will let you sideload old apps like Android though
Have you screenshot the stuff? You're better off posting it in discord so everyone can see. And if you aren't able to roll back to the version before this and disable auto update in your iPhone, you should get an Android as backup. I have faced similar issue with the one who reply you before me and did what he did for some apps.
@ Yep, will post it today or tomorrow 🙌🏻
Frankly, I only use that app from time to time because it’s kinda limited, especially when it comes to RAW pics. I suppose this change will make me use it even less, so no, Canon, your trick’s not working.
Posted this on the wiki (“Canon Camera Connect”) 🙌🏻
It's very slow anyway. Getting a card reader and putting in your SD card every time to transfer is way faster.
When Canon banned 3rd party manufacturers from making AF RF lenses I immediately stopped considering them for any purchases whatsoever. Watching this video makes me even more convinced that I don't want anything to do with Canon.
Unfortunately it's probably only a matter of time before other camera manufacturers hop on this bandwagon of enshittification. Perhaps MBAs need to join lawyers as a profession of infamy.
I’ve been using Canon for years. This put me off and now I’m looking at switching. I might go Sony, which also feels icky
Product manufacturers should be forced to place 'subscription required' in large font on their packaging, otherwise they should be banned from ever requiring a subscription for that product, ever.
You don't get it, it's an added feature to a camera, you can still use your camera to take photos and videos completely fine, the percentage of people buying a mirrorless camera exclusively for webcam use is abysmal...
@tdg9281 abysmal percentage eh
@@Skobeloff... if you really want a reliable way to stream just buy a capture card anyways, you can go up to 4K and you have way more control
@@tdg9281 I am not referring specifically to streaming, to cameras, or to webcams.
Don't wait for the manufacturers, just have someone design a "subscription required" sticker and post it for people to download. Having stickers printed is pretty cheap, stick them on everything in the store that requires a subscription.
Sony stopped my perfectly good third-party batteries from working with a firmware "update". Now I get a nag screen I have to click on every time I turn the camera on. That has made me miss shots with my $3k camera.

Basically Canons cameras didn't do webcam at all. Canon put that software together during the lockdowns in 2020. Every Canon camera launched after October 2022 has full and unlimited 1080p UVC build in. No software needed.

This is just more evidence that the whole "software as a subscription" thing can't die soon enough.
yeah, it's going to suck for them. When they think "oh we just have to push a few years' worth of bought and paid for products out. Then everything can be a subscription". But then the consumer just crowdsources dishwashers, cars, and devices that were manufactured like the 90s and 00s... and leaves the money hungry brands in the dust.
Problem is this shit ain't going anywhere. A practice that yields huge revenues won't die of its own accord.
The obsession with money, with profit at any cost, is destroying society and the life of modern humanity.
I bought a toaster that was made in the 50s because of the unreliable new plastic smart toasters. My toaster toasts the toast to a certain color, no matter the temperature of the toast. There is no lever, it lowers, toasts, and raises itself when I pop the toast in.

I wonder how long before CEOs who let this stuff fly get UHC'd.
the companies are lobbying to make it illegal, and in america there are probably laws against it since it "circumvents copyright protection" or something
From a software dev perspective, the claim that it took extra work to unlock 1080p capabilities over 720p and therefore should cost a fee for you to use it is BS. 720p is just scaled down from the native res.
You know how when toys are sold they have to have a disclaimer on the box or advertising that says "batteries not included." Why are these companies not held to that same standard?
All advertising and containers for these products should come with a clear message (on the front of the box) saying "functionality/software not included."
$5 here, $10 there, $20 elsewhere etc. No one has unlimited money, its unfeasible.
This is the problem of the everything as a service model that companies and individuals are chasing as the golden solution to make money. People only have so much to spend, we're not infinite revenue streams for everyone. One example, if everyone decided to charge $1 per view on RUclips, that would add up over a short period of time.
@ never subscribed to shit and never will. Only thing I need is bills and a gym membership.
This is why I have two subscriptions.
Phone and internet.
Everything else is gained through these.
That's another and a major reason why I've said myself that subscription models aren't feasible as a normal business practice generally applied. No one has an unlimited monetary supply. This model not only affects the finances of the customer but likewise affects the ability of a person to support the business more as well as other businesses. The more businesses move to such an insane financial model, the less people are able to do with their available money and the less they're able to buy as well as support other businesses. It's so counterproductive, so selfish and corrupt in a lot of ways, and prevents one from being able to enjoy a good quality of life.
As for this so-called free market nonsense and propaganda that's promulgated, spewed forth as it were, by virtually everyone, there exists no such thing in human society. Virtually everything is artificially controlled and manipulated. This is contrary to a free market paradigm, a free market economy. Things are controlled, manipulated, then we're extorted out of our money. The market, rather than being based on a sane implementation of the concept of service, is on the contrary about a selfish grab for more and more profit at any cost. And ignorant humans call this a free market. Unbelievable.

These things start at $2 or $5 at first, until you suddenly find out the service jumps to $10 or $20.. with more advanced features locked behind even larger fees. Even at the cheapest pricing if there are multiple manufacturers pulling this shit the small streams become a river. I agree though - the biggest issue is that a company can decide to pull support and I'm shit outta luck. Can't even wave bills in front of their face to get the features working again.
Ring just did this with their doorbell. They recommend a setting to adjust if your are away or home.
I am reasonably frugal, so I use my devices for a long time. I don’t want to pay recurring fees. Nor do I want to risk having my device bricked when the company decides to stop supporting what I bought.

I think we should all just source and buy old timey products and give a big middle finger to all these companies. How did companies survive in yester years before subscriptions? Enough already.
I personally try to avoid such companies, I can only tolerate subscription if it offers something valuabe enough for me and does some work for me. Unlocking the 1080p is not doing anything, its just extortion. Unfortunately average customer wont question this unless he is really pissed and fed up with nonsense subscriptions.
They survived well enough, this is just the bullshit "infinite growth" demand coming from investors who want more and more over time.
Imaging Edge Webcam lets you connect your Sony camera to your personal computer, and use the camera as a webcam with a livestreaming/web conferencing service.
Benefits of using your Sony camera as a webcam
The camera can capture faces with natural colors under any environmental conditions, including low light and back lighting.
A large sensor can make the subject stand out with a blurred background.
Auto-focusing keeps track of vivid facial expressions with Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking. * Only when the camera supports the relevant functions.

They started charging $120 for a firmware update that gives you "guidelines" in certain cameras as well, essentially just an overlay in cameras that already have grid lines that helps compose. It seems like they are moving towards forced registration to use their terrible digital photo professional software too.
yeah Louis should talk about that, it's just disgusting how Sony, Canon and Nikon (not Fuji, they're the good guys) barely add any features during firmware updates, and they make you pay for some of them... Sony is the worst of them, they put some easy to integrate features on the newer version so that you're forced to upgrade if you need it badly. I had an a7r4 that didn't have a bulb timer integrated (feature that had existed on canon for almost 10 years btw). For me it was the difference between using an external intervallometer that compromises weather sealing or having it in software easily accesible. This is only a small example, there are so many more example of sony not caring to add simple software functionalities even on 4k$+ PROFESSIONAL cameras... And you still decide to still buy the newer model because you invested so much in Sony lenses.

I have been a loyal Canon user since I started doing photography. I am at the point now where I am looking to upgrade my DSLR this year. I have been hearing a lot about unfavorable practices coming from Canon lately, I will most likely go with a different model this time around. A shame really.
That DSLR is probably still a pretty capable shooter, eg. if it's an older-model 5D, I'd personally continue using it until it dies and then switch to L-mount or Micro 4/3 that's at least on some level an open platform, and then adapt your pre-existing EF-mount glass to that platform.
At least if you went for either of the two aforementioned platforms, due to how they're licensed, there's not only multiple manufacturers for both bodies and glass already, but others could theoretically enter those platforms if they paid the appropriate fee, eg. if OM Digital went under or Panasonic started acting like Canon, someone else could theoretically start making bodies, glass, or both for Micro 4/3 after they paid the entry fee, and I assume L-mount is structured similarly to Micro 4/3 in terms of licensing, while Canon keeps the cards for RF-mount close to the chest by contrast.
Eg. for an L-mount body, if a certain Lumix body you're looking at has something about it you don't like, you could buy a Leica or Sigma body for that platform, or OM Digital for MFT.

Hi Mr Clinton, glad you are feeling better 😊.
I like how they call it "Free User" like you didn't pay hundreds to thousands of dollars to buy the camera.
From my understanding (i’m a videographer), certainly here in the EU, In 2006, the European Union created a law that added an import duty of 5-12% to any video camera. What determined whether a camera was a video camera? In short, the ability to record longer than 30 minutes. Thus, companies like Canon and Nikon decided to cap their video clip lengths, preventing their enthusiast and prosumer cameras from being considered video cameras.
Either way, it is shitty that manufacturers do this. I’d rather pay a little extra as a one off to enable me to use my camera how i want to.
I feel like they're technically correct. They added this later, it wasn't really part of the product. But they're not ethically correct and it's bad business practice. You can be both right and an asshole.
It’s software that upscales the 720 to 1080. OBS does this for free.
You could use a Canon as a webcam for as long as EOS was a thing, just with low resolution of 550p. You can't get more through the cable meaning all this software does is upscale the 550p stream to 1080p

I immediately left a 1 star review for the omission and purchased a capture card to be able to capture using the mini HDMI output from the camera. Over time the card will have paid for itself while giving even more functionality.
This is the type of shit that has driven me to all open source, unless there's no other choice.
Even if there's no other choice, I refuse to go the extreme capitalistic route of extortionist practices.
I swear down Louis is talking faster and faster. Might have to drop to 0.5x. However, love the delivery!
