Elgato - Facecam MK.2 1080p60 Full HD Webcam, Ultra Low-Latency, DSLR-Style Control – For Zoom/Teams, PC/Mac/Switch 2 - Black

The Elgato Face Cam MK. 2 is a pretty good webcam, and one of the best at this price range. The picture looks really good, even when it has less than optimal lighting, but you'll still need a decent lighting setup for it to look truly great. The software is very intuitive and easy to get to grips with. All the options to adjust different camera settings are very welcome, and leaving some of them set to auto-adjust still produces great results. However, I think the true gem of the software is their background removal option which was surprisingly accurate even when under low light conditions. It comes with several stock backgrounds, some animated, most of them look really good and you add your own custom backgrounds or explore Elgato's digital store for more. The vast majority of those are paid unfortunately. One last note on the software, for the streamers, there is a lot of functionality between programs like OBS and this software, opening the door to a lot of creative shenanigans. The build quality feels impressive too. Very sturdy and it feels nice and snug when clamped on my monitor. And it is really easy to adjust and move it after you've already placed it. One small complaint though, it is a bit fiddly getting it at the exact right angle and you may need a separate tripod if you're also particular about that. But all in all, a pretty good webcam that does much more good than it does mediocre. I would recommend it highly if this if you're trying to not completely blow the bank.

This is a great camera for Whatnot streaming, work meetings, and showcasing products. The video quality is clean and clear, and the Elgato Camera Hub app makes setup simple, even for beginners. I was impressed enough to purchase a second camera so I can run multiple camera angles during my eBay and Whatnot shows. Next on my list is the Elgato Prompter, which I think will help streamline my workflow and further improve the quality of my content.

I love this webcam really easy to connect to and when I turned it on I was shocked from how clean the camera was and how it looked. Very good for the price I’ll definitely recommend this to someone if they are looking to buy a webcam to stream or for something else 10/10 for sure.

I was looking for a camera that had a built in cover, offered decent image quality and did not need its software to run in an always-on manner to function. Some big positives are that the settings are persisted on device. Once configured there’s no need to keep the camera software running. The HDR support deals with harsh lighting (particularly windows/lights behind you) really well. The camera has a fixed focus but that works really well for typical webcam use, and avoids the focus hunting most camera in this price range can run into. Elgato’s camera hub software is easy to use and offers a lot to control over customizing the image quality. The camera does not have a mic built in but that’s a positive for me as well! It’s better for privacy, and most webcam mics don’t work as well as some of the newer laptop/headset mics.

Great quality webcam, easy to use and very clear image and I highly recommend it for streaming especially if you can afford it!
