That has to be an easy hack or workaround though, right?

I dont see why you can't just use the hdmi output on the camera + any capture card.
110% will void your warranty if there is.
I need to buy a camera for recording some easy shots indoor (explainer videos, tutorials, vlogs etc…). I already have an old basic canon for photos. Does anyone have any tips?
Are you asking what camera to buy or how to use your old camera?
Fuji xh1/xh2 is the best bang for buck mirrorless video camera right now I think
A new camera yes, the old canon is not fit for this, but maybe i could reuse the lens? Idk, my understanding of cameras and lens are not great tbh. I’ll check fuji thx.
I wouldn't put any more money into Canon and just sell that stuff. I sold all my Canon gear a few years ago and no regrets
Idk about selling. My philosophy is that as long as I can use it, I’ll keep it and if it breaks I’ll fix.
the lens is likely incompatible with newer hardware.
I would recommend looking used. you can get a few generations old micro 4/3rds camera for very cheap. let me look through options tonight when i get home and I'll probably be able to find you something for under $200 that will shoot modern looking decent quality video.
a mic to go with it would be very important. there's so many ways to go about that.
-you can get a cheap on cameras shotgun that will sound decent, but pick up a good amount of room noise. this will be the easiest to use option.
-you could get a lavaliere of some kind, but that takes a second to set up and will require additional tools unless you want to tether yourself to the actual camera. there's also options that plug in to a phone, but that would require a phone with a headphone jack...
-you could get a usb stick mic to record voiceover after the fact. this would give the highest fidelity Audio bang for the buck, but is the most cumbersome to use.
additionally, a light will go very far for making things look nicer. most homes are not set to to have good video lighting at all. you can totally get away with a cheap lamp that you bounce off the wall or something. as long as you don't have a lightbulb directly shining on you creating hard shadows.
Thanks, i will def search in the used market, I don’t trust new products anymore. 😂 For mics i wanted to go with those clip mics, easy and flexible to record.

I am superior to everyone in the world because I own a Nikon DSLR (its a d60 from like 2010)
I've mostly been using film recently anyway. The latency is terrible but the quality is god tier.
