Reviews & Ratings
Some models in the webcam test show users blurred or with a colour cast, some distort voices. Devices without these flaws are rare, but they do exist: good webcams.
The Facecam from Elgato is clearly a case for streamers and content creators: it delivers recordings with rich colours and smooth movements. However, it is not suitable for the home office due to its high price and lack of microphones.

The Elgato Facecam has the perfect feature set for its target audience, but that narrow focus leaves it lacking for everyone else.

Very good webcam for Creator, which can also convince in the home office.
