Best Cheap HD Video Camera for Live Streaming

I want to build a low-budget multi-camera live streaming setup. Which is the best but cheap camera to use?

Why is the Canon VIXIA HF R800 a recommended camera?

It costs below US$250 for a new set. Most full-featured cameras out there cost over US$1000.
It has a mini-HDMI output port. That makes it easy to connect to video capture and switcher devices.
It records in Full HD (1920×1080). Good enough for live streaming as we do not need 4K.
It has a microphone jack and a headphone jack. Very rare in a camera at this price.
On its own, it’s a complete camcorder. With a touch screen, SD card recording, and more.

So if you are looking for the best low-cost video camera for your budget multi-camera setup, this is it.

Recommended multi-camera live streaming switcher: Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini.
Recommended Camera to Computer video capture device for a single camera: Magewell HDMI to USB Video Capture Dongle.
Recommended live streaming software: OBS

Do you know any other camcorder in this price range?
