As webcams were hard to come by during the onset of the pandemic, I resorted to a raspberry pi + HQ cam + lens + raspistill preview + HDMI capture device (instead of usb). I won't defend the total cost (probably more than an acceptable webcam). The HQ cam results were quite good and seemingly high enough framerate (not 660 fps though!). Added benefit is interchangeable lens options including ones that will give the bokeh effect.
