Canon mirrorless better than Sony as webcams

I personally found that when using the Sony software on my Mac routed through USB that it used enough processing power that the fan kicked on pretty noisily on my Macbook Pro. The frame rate was also very low.

The Canon software on the other hand used less processor power and had a smooth frame rate.
