ElgatoFacecam MK.2 – Premium Full HD Webcam for Streaming, Gaming, Video Calls, Recording, HDR Enabled, Sony Sensor, PTZ Control – works with OBS, Zoom, Teams, and more, for PC/Mac

Best looking webcam in the price range that it is in. It was super easy to set up and get started with. The mountability is very versatile I currently have it on my monitor, but have also tried it on my tripod. The size is a little larger than most other webcams but with using the Elgato software this webcam has immaculate video quality. This webcam doesn't use autofocus which is NOT a negative, because you don't have issues with autofocus not focusing correctly and causing blurring. Instead this camera is crystal clear no matter where you are in the view.

I upgraded from a popular Logitech webcam, and the difference is night and day. The Elgato Facecam MK.2 with its Sony sensor provides an incredibly crisp and professional image, especially in low light. The ability to shoot in 1080p at 60fps is buttery smooth and essential for streaming. The real power, though, is the Camera Hub software. Having full manual control over ISO, shutter speed, and white balance means I can dial in the exact look I want and it stays locked. The HDR feature is a lifesaver, preventing my monitor from blowing out the side of my face. It's an investment, but if you're serious about your video quality, this is the one to get.

I've been using a Logitech Streamcam since its release and have mostly liked it. It works great in good conditions, but shifted to a more enclosed area with very little natural lighting. And ever since doing that, I've had trouble with it washing out the picture if there's artificial light, or being too dark if there's not. I have a mostly Elgato lighting set up (2 key lights and a light strip) as well as a stream deck. The Logitech has never had good software, but that wasn't a big deal until recently.Given the streamcam was good enough. I am teach undergraduate and graduate students almost entirely online, so I wasn't needing a professional setup, just for meetings, zoom, and recording videos (using xsplit with a small video of me in the corner of a presentation). Recently, the lighting frustration bothered me more and more and I saw this Mk.2 release. I decided to try it out and see if it was an improvement.Yes, yes it was very much. While the lighting isn't perfect, the overall quality is so much better I have no regrets at all about shifting to a similar range alternative. The low light works great, the overall image and recording is better, and the software is far and away more user friendly. I can control many functions through my stream deck, making for more dynamic adjustments on the fly in presentations, online live sessions, etc.Comes with a pretty thick 3.0 USB cable, but if you have a USB C slot in your computer you're wanting to use you'll need to buy your own. Which I did. But having only the 3.0 makes this useable for even older setups.

I use this camera for work meetings. Picture quality is great, and my video image no longer stutters. The camera automatically switches to 720p30 when Zoom opens, which is correct for Zoom. The camera itself can support up to 1080p60, but for Zoom it’s best if the camera provides the exact quality that is needed so there is no conversion happening.The Camera Hub software is not flashy but provides all the settings you would need, including a nice field-of-view/pan/tilt control.The physical lens cover is not great. It works, but closing it requires pulling on a tiny tab that is near the lens glass and sometimes dislodges the camera from the top of the monitor upon which it is perched. I wish it had an over-the-top flap like my previous camera had, because I strongly prefer to close it after every meeting.

I do not even know where to start. For the price I do not think this item can be beat. It was incredibly easy to install, the size is not overbearing and it works extremely well. It has a little back clamp you can use to put it on different areas, and the functionality of it is unrivaled from others in the price point. It has amazing quality especially when you have great lighting. I cannot recommend this camera enough. Works great for my streams and videos!
