The Gemini 2 L 3D Camera from Orbbec is based on Active Stereo IR technology with a baseline of 100mm and is equipped with Orbbec's custom ASIC processor for high quality depth processing. It delivers resolutions of up to 1280 x 800 at 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 fps. It has a wide 101° diagonal field of view and operates using a single USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 cable that delivers power and data. The camera also has a proximity sensor for close distance single point ranging, which helps eliminate any blind spots in depth measurements within the entire 32.8' range, while an internal IMU enables motion and position tracking.
Mirrorless is the modern standard; invest in a mirrorless system unless buying cheap used DSLRs to learn on. Sensor size (Full Frame vs APS-C/Crop) dictates low-light performance, depth of field, and lens cost. Available from $319.
The camera body is just the down payment on the photography hobby. True ownership cost lies in lenses, SD cards, batteries, and editing software subscriptions. Protecting the gear with good bags and filters mitigates expensive repairs.
Common Failure Modes
The mechanical shutter has a finite lifespan, usually rated for 100,000 to 300,000 clicks before failing. Dust on the sensor is inevitable and requires delicate cleaning. Drops frequently damage lens mounts or shatter LCD screens.

Professional bodies are built to last for hundreds of thousands of shots.
