The greatest thing about these cards is that you can create your own multi-angle stream on the cheap. I've done streams with two cheap cards and one Elgato 4K, it works really well. The Elgato has less audio lag and is cleaner in the shadows and colors, but the cheap card is great for starting and experimenting. (Your available light matters more than the quality of the cards.)

I own a few capture cards, the Elgato by far produces a better image and color. What I noticed with this card thats mentioned and with the other cheapo ones I’ve purchased is the colors are extremely washed out. Now that I need an camera for my streams I’ll be moving to the Black Magic ATEM mini pro for better control and output as well as color correcting on the fly while streaming.

These capture cards are an excellent value. I've got two that I've been using since summertime and have been pushing all of my conference calls and livestreams with them for the past six months! In this video, the elgato has a nice, neutral look but it's not enough to compel me to spend the money. In addition, if you were looking to get two elgatos, at that price, you might as well spend a little bit more for the Blackmagic ATEM Mini.

The only thing that I have personally found not so great with the cheaper option is that after some time the capture card begins to produce a ton of screen tear and outputs around 15 fps instead of 30. I have had it for around 6 months and only now is it beginning to get to this point, but it is worth considering that with the cheaper card you will probably have more issues and glitches 👍

The computer you use play a big part as well. I used the same device on 2 different computers. On my laptop the fps was capped at 30fps. On my gaming rig I'm able to record in 4k 60fps stable. It all depends on the computer. Yes OBS is capable of recording in 4k. You have to manually type in 3840x2160, 4k is not in OBS options but if you type in 4k resolution it works. My capture card was only $18. 4k 60fps is good for $18.

The main difference between the Elgato and the cheap one was framerate- the cheap one jumped about massively (probably 30fps) and the Elgato was much smoother (probably 60fps). That said, there was surprisingly little difference between your webcam and the cheap one. I see a MUCH bigger difference between a MacBook webcam and a Canon 250D using Canon's free webcam software

You mentioned audio can be obtained from the Canon M50 via the CAM Link card via the HDMI cable. When I first tested this last year, the Canon M50 did not send any audio through the HDMI port on the camera. I just upgraded the firmware on the M50 to v1.1.0 so I decided to retest it. It still does not provide audio via the HDMI connection. The Canon EOS Webcam utility (which allows you to use autofocus and the connection is a USB connection) provides a lower quality video image and it also does not provide audio. I've always used a secondary audio source and it's necessary to adjust for the audio delay/sync in streaming app (OBS on Windows 10 in my case).
