I feed it into OBS and can get 1080p easily on a 5D MKII, a camera that's now more than 15 years old. Better quality than any dedicated webcam I've seen.

It's a nice second life for it.

I thought you needed a 5DmkIII to get 1080p, because the 5DmkII has USB2.0 and is limited to a 200Mbps transfer speed (using MJPEG). And the HDMI resolution is much lower than that.
