Anker - PowerConf C300

I’m in the market for a new webcam. I currently have an Anker C300 (1080p/60 f/2.0) which is fairly decent. It is placed on the left side of my monitor making an angle of 30-35 degrees with respect to the main screen. My office is quite small, with the wall behind me at around 3-4 feet away. I have a ring light that (5-10% power) that pretty much illuminates my face. I have a few Elgato gear - Stream Deck Plus, Teleprompter, Wave 3). My usage of the webcam is around 90% for webcam (Zoom/Teams) and 10% for content creation. Though this may change in future. I’m looking at jumping into 4K streams, possibly to get better background separation. My considerations so far have been: - a/ Get a mirrorless R50V, hopefully use it in UVC mode (i.e. no CAMlink). I have a Canon 16-35 f/2.8 EF II (+ EF to RF mount) lens already, so I will just need a body and possibly a dummy battery for an AC source. With this option, I know I will get the best separation, but I may end up giving up a few conveniences, will need a sturdy small tripod to hold the mirrorless and teleprompter. PLUS this will be $$$$ and having not tried UVC mode I’m afraid of any other surprises in the workflow. - b/ Get an Elgato Facecam Pro. I looked at the Facecam 4K that was recently launched, but the f/4.0 on it is a deal breaker. The Facecam Pro on the other hand does offer better separation. Given that this is over 3 years from the initial release, I’m not sure if this will be worth it now and fear there may be a gen 2 model releasing this year. - c/ Do nothing, hold it. What would you do?

I got the Anker PowerConf C300 webcam which comes with a USB C cable. It was about $100. Works very well, good picture quality and it comes with useful software. There’s a newer model now, C310, which is 4K. I wouldn’t rely on the mic built into a webcam, though. I bought a Razor Seiren Mini ($50) but you need to buy a new cable as it comes with a USB A cable. It sounds tons better. My use case is solely Zoom calls.

\+1 for the C300

Ich hab die Brio 500. Ich meine um die 80€. Auf der Seite von logitech liegt die bei 140€. Liefert bei guter Beleuchtung im Büro ein angenehmes Bild. Für Videokonferenzen mehr als ausreichend. Scharf stellen funktioniert. Wäre mir nviht schnell genug, wenn ich damit nicht nur hier und da win videotelefonat führen würde.  Hatte unmittelbar vorher eine Anker Power conf getestet. Das Bild war besser. Aber die Verbindung brach immer wieder ab. Hab auf Anhieb nicht die Lösung finden können und sie deshalb zurück geschickt und die Logitech genommen.
