We think webcams should do more. With Facecam, you get not only 1080p 60fps capture, but also uncompressed, low-latency video in lifelike detail and color. Adept in low-light conditions, Facecam even overcomes tricky high-contrast lighting—like bright office windows—thanks to HDR capability. Its software, Camera Hub, offers not just superficial settings, but instead deep DSLR-style control such as ISO and shutter speed to customize your image. What’s more, your settings won’t disappear when you reboot or change computers. Loaded with features like cinematic FX and Stream Deck compatibility, Facecam does what other webcams don’t—because “good enough“ is no longer good enough.

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.
