Elgato Facecam - 1080p60 True Full HD Webcam for Live Streaming, Gaming, Video Calls, Sony Sensor, Advanced Light Correction, DSLR Style Control, works with OBS, Zoom, Teams, and more, for PC/Mac

I went on the gaming websites and discovered the reviews on this Elgato Facecam and decided to get it. I am so glad that I got it. It has DSLR lens inside of the FACECAM and excellent focus. I needed a Facecam where I could control the focus so it was not doing the "autofocus". I needed "focus" only. I do sign language translation work and this FaceCam did the trick. I had a Logitech Brio 4K Pro webcam and it was just terrible - the video quality was very poor and it was always on "autofocus" which was very bad especially if you are signing in ASL. Also the APPs were not friendly with MAC OS. FaceCAM came to the rescue and I was able to download the APP onto my desktop and now I can do Zoom in, light adjustments, set to focus or autofocus, and many other options and features. It is wonderful to have that with the MAC OS and also have DSLR features in the webcam without having to pay for a DSLR Camera. Excellent quality videos. Price is right and worth it. I have been using mine everyday since I bought it and for several hours a day without any issues. It is very good quality. I bought two of them for using on my different devices.

Bought this as an upgrade from the Logitech C920 webcam. What a huge difference!The Elgato has a crystal clear image and a massive amount of control over the picture. ISO, contrast, warmth, noise reduction, zoom, frame rate, you name it! The software enables an easy preview as you make adjustments so it's very easy to see the results of any adjustments you make, even if you're unfamiliar with some of the technical terms.My only small complaint is that the supplied stand is a little impractical. I found that when you screw it in, if you keep it tight as possible the camera is not positioned to the front. Facing it front makes it a bit loose on the stand. I wound upgrading the stand with the SMALLRIG Super Camera Clamp Mount and now it fits perfectly with my set up. The camera is attached to a post off my desk and I can open and shut my laptop without disturbing the camera at all!Highly recommended.

This was purchased for streaming and work use. The camera set up quickly and was immediately recognized by Elgato Camera Hub, integration into OBS and Zoom was completely painless, it all just works. At this price point I doubt it's possible to find a better 1080p webcam. Motion is smooth and never choppy, and low-light performance is far ahead of any other webcam I've used to date. The autofocus is spot-on and has not had any issues with hunting or randomly going out of focus, even when being used in rooms with various non-white lighting, such as all blue or all purple.Some may find the case to be somewhat bulky, I feel this is a decision was made in order to support the large primary lens element, which is no-doubt to blame for low light performance. Also included is an attractive plastic lens cap that positively snaps into place to allow for worry free transit in a laptop bag, or to ensure privacy when the device is attached but not in use.I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a top-shelf 1080p webcam and the sort of consumer who values smoothness of motion, performance in most reasonable indoor/gaming lighting situations, and crisp autofocus. Particularly I feel that this is targeted towards the streaming or gaming content creation crowd specifically, as 4k is inapplicable in a vast majority of practical applications within this field.

Elgato no longer offers this product, but I thought it was still worth reviewing as Elgato still uses the same CameraHub software for their other products.I purchased this product to have better quality Microsoft Teams meetings, to have a facecam for YouTube videos, and to overall have better video quality online. Here's how this item works for my daily use:The design, build quality, and mounting options are excellent. Although the webcam itself is pretty large (about triple the size of a "regular" webcam) it is very light and sturdy when mounted to the monitor. I also like the included privacy cap, as the Elgato Camera Hub software often randomly activates the camera which makes me paranoid.Video quality is very good for my price paid of $80. Although the camera is only 1080p, the video quality is very sharp and clear. The color reproduction (white balance, color accuracy, saturation, etc) definitely leaves something to be desired, but this can mostly be corrected through software. The low light performance of this camera is excellent, however it seems to struggle in high lighting environments. Important to note, there is no autofocus on this webcam either.The Elgato Camera Hub (required software for the camera to run) definitely leaves something to be desired. It seems to have many issues such as: Imprecise white balance adjustment, poor auto white balance, and the application never saves my previous settings as it advertises. It also does not seem to play very well with Microsoft Teams which is a big bummer.For my purchase price, this camera is amazing. However, if I were to make this purchase again I would research more Logitech products as their software seems to be much more robust and useful.
