    nice notes. I think elgato has done a lot to make improvements. Logi, has dropped from quality to overall all corners to a bad spot. Even that has the lead on the webcam arena. until not and even that streamcam is gone from the website spotlight all these cameras need lights. a 200usd good phone does a better job. Logi needs to take coffee and sit and return to the drawing board. I know the app es needed, but they have to give more control make a better app and controls that are needed

      You alright mate? IMO logitech was the best overall here. Best out of the box image, software offers more features than the rest while still being user friendly, has more features such as vertical mode and built in mic, also IMO looks the best design wise. Some people might not like that it uses a type c port, but it actually proves that logitech is trying to move forward towards type c on everything. They have been making webcams forever and it shows. My first webcam was a logitech in the early 2000s, the one that looks like a ball and has a triangle base. Competition is always good and I can see why people might choose the others, but even the host agrees that the logitech was best overall.

      @Dimas Setiawan i RMA 5 brio. 2 streamcam 2 pc. And still look bad. As the review say need a lot of light. I use z390/z490/x570 and now z590 with 10 core. Yes i am sure. I borrowed the elgato, improvement was a huge bumb with little to almost none adventure. And to continue to use the settings get better on w11 btw.

    I wish you had included links. I’m having trouble finding the Elgato Facecam on Amazon. They have a ton of cheaper models but that’s not what I want.
