Facecam MK.2 – Premium Full HD 1080p Webcam for Streaming, Gaming, Video Calls, Recording, HDR Enabled, Sony Sensor, PTZ Control – Works with OBS, Zoom, Teams, and More, for PC/Mac

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.

Great quality, software is easy to use and set up. This camera definitely requires some additional light but my 2 Key Light Airs have been more than enough. Aside from that I have had no issues with it as long as it’s been plugged directly into a usb 3.0 port

This is a wonderful webcam. I'm coming from the Razer Kiyo Pro and the Facecam mk2 is so much nicer to use. The image quality seems to be comparable but the elagato has less motion blur and far superior software. I've had constant issues using razer's streaming products that don't seem to exist in the elgato ecosystem. I'm very happy that I was finally able to switch everything over. The camera is very easy to use and set up. It's integration with obs is flawless and there is additional camera control software from elgato that you can use if you'd like. It is optional software and not required for use. This is probably the best bang for the buck webcam you can get right now. It's my favorite so far at least.

Decent enough. Got this for work Zoom calls and seems to work fine enough. Gets through the meetings anyways. Quality is pretty standard although the device does feel a little cheap in hand for how large it is. Probably for the best though so it isn’t putting too much weight on the top of my monitor. Brightness seems totally fine for my application and I don’t at all feel like the image is too dark, even at night as long as my face is still lit. The option to adjust FOV is pretty nice. Software is honestly not great. Not nearly as much customization as I’d hope from a $200 webcam designed for streaming. Background blur is far from perfect, especially around hair and looks extremely artificial. I also find the Camera Hub software is constantly freezing up or delaying the video feed on my MacBook Pro M4. All in all it’s not a bad option, don’t really feel like it’s worth the price they’re asking for but I’ll still probably hold onto and continue using it.

Clear video and good audio. Easy to set up and works perfectly for calls and streaming.

This is the most amount of money I've ever spent on a facecam, and I used a cheapo one before this in the $30-ish range. I use a lot of other elgato products, so I thought this would be a good fit. It's been.... virtually unusable. Maybe I got defective product? It's wild to me how happy these reviews seem in comparison to my experience. The cam was instantly darker and blurrier and weirdly colored compared to my cheap webcam. Everyone online said: well, get better lighting and mess with the settings in the elgato camera hub. So I tried. With blaring lights in my face (yes, I looked up the methods of lighting and did all the things like having a main light and a side light and putting them in a "Y" away from your face and having back lighting) it was still dark. And blurry. And the camera hub program was buggy as heck. I would change one thing and try to go back and suddenly the look would be too dark again, even if I put them back to the EXACT. SAME. NUMBERS. If I set things light enough, the colors would be muted and the graininess would be intense. If I lowered the graininess, it would look blurry and surreal. Taking off camera hub in general and just messing with filters slightly in OBS made it BETTER, but nowhere near NORMAL looking, when I thought the whole point of this camera quality was to make things look more natural in the first place. Because camera hub made things worse, I couldn't even use the cool interactions I was promised through the stream deck buttons. Literally, my $30 cam looked better and clearer to people viewing my streams. On top of everything, shifting the cord in the back even a LITTLE made it turn off. After months of trying to get this to work (and only using it successfully about 10-15 times) the wiggle cord problem has become so bad that it will barely turn on. I'm just... so tired of messing with it. Maybe I got a defective one, I dunno, I have no baseline to work off of here. But an expensive webcam shouldn't ask this much of you to actually look good out of the box and work well.

Bueno

Przesłona !!! f/4.0 !!! to jest jakiś żart! Nawet przy mocnym oświetleniu kamera potrzebuje około 4x więcej światła niż zwykły Facecam F/2.4. Żadne matryce tego nie skompensują. Dramat !
