Facecam

I'm a fan of the Elgato Facecam. I've had both the Mk 1 and Mk 2, and love them both. Software is good but not perfect. Good in low and bright light. Good color accuracy. Ability to utilize LUTs if you want.

el gato facecam you can even find them second-hand for less, but it's the best camera because it's not your typical webcam.

The camera software has many options for controlling the camera, contrast, lighting, saturation, exposure control, ISO, white balance, and image temperature. It also integrates NVIDIA technology for background removal or replacement. As the settings are saved directly to the camera's memory in obs, you do not need to configure anything.

Elgato Facecam $90 amazon (original not the mk2) I set it up once and even a year later after reinstalling windows it didn't change because settings save on camera. I had a few Logitech and constant fight to keep my settings even when using Logitech software

I've used Logitech C920 and elgato face cam on different tests. I was able to the 360 with the provided cables. And set them a distance enough to show me and my laptop at my desk during test

No, Facecam (2021) will not be getting a firmware update as the product has been end of life for a couple of years.

I HIGHLY recommend the Elgato Facecam. I have the OG and it has been perfect save for a few occasional freezes. Elgato products are generally perfect for me

I have the Elgato Facecam (the first one so she chunky) and absolutely love it! If she dies I'll buy the newer version of the facecam. Did a lot of research before buying and at the time about 4 years ago this one was the best option for me.

Unless this is a hobby that you enjoy throwing money at, a better camera won’t make a huge difference. Focus on your content and lighting. Lighting helps ALMOST any shitty camera look amazing. Webcam quality in 2020 is way better than it was in 2008. Only If you’re making money from streaming, such that your profits can pay for a new camera, that’s the only time I’d recommend upgrading your camera beyond a Logitech Brio. But even this elgato face cam is good enough

Ive had no latency issues with elgato facecam (og) or the neo 

I stream with 1st gen Elgato Facecam (1080p max) and it's pretty good for a webcam. It wasn't cheap, but still much more affordable than a full size camera with large lens. I use it in a very low light environment and as long as I keep it at 30 fps it handles it well. The new gen of Facecam (4K) is even better in low light, according to reviews. It has no microphone though, but getting a standalone cheap USB microphone will give better sound quality than the one on a webcam anyway and you want the mic to sound good, more than the camera to look good... Unless your stream is focused on you a lot, in which case you'll want a full size camera instead of a webcam.

I have the original El Gato Facecam and I think it looks great but I also use 2 ring lights mostly because I rather have 2 soft lights on my sides rather than 1 really bright light on my front
