The $300 Webcam - Elgato FaceCam Pro Review

So Facecam Pro is definitely the best webcam that I've used so far.

It's better than Logitech cams I've owned

This cam has a very wide angle lens. Even with 1080p, image quality suffers to the point that it's not worth using if you have to zoom in from more than 24-30 inches away. For using on a laptop with it sitting 12 inches away, the wide angle is probably a good choice. So far, the software (camera hub...

It’s ok but a c920 is easier

Expected a lot more from this camera. The c920 I have is half the price but 10x easier to get a good picture out of. I had to go nuts on the lighting beyond just a key light to get the grain from the built in iso processing to diminish. The picture quality out of camera hub software is better, but t...

Great picture quality when the bugs don't keep it from crashing

I bought this camera because it is one of the most, if not THE most, highly rated cameras to use for streaming, etc. even on other websites. I never needed it, but it would have been a huge upgrade from my ancient 720p 30 fps camera I have been using for way too long. This camera is CHONKY compared ...

Stopped working on an already meh camera

I plugged it in and it booted up. Went to a meeting and the entire picture was orange and blurry. You *HAVE* to install the additional software from the site to make the picture even remotely reasonable - oh, you work? Well, you dont have permission to install your own software. Don't bother if you ...

Has potential to be great

This review may only apply to using Elgato Facecam on MacOS. The Elgato Facecam has the potential to be a great webcam, may be just need another round of firmware/software update. The original firmware/software that come with the product has some issue. For example, As long as the Facecam is turned ...

Beautiful picture - super flaky

I've got a lot of Elgato gear - and I hoped this would be just as good, but the fact is that it isn't. I'm using this with OBS as part of my video for my work meetings. When it works the color is excellent. I work in front of a green screen and other webcams like the C920 have trouble focusing and w...

Good camera, great customer support!

I'm not a camera expert, nor am I a professional streamer. I just work from home and needed a webcam. This one was pretty good (honestly probably better than I realize), but it started flickering and having trouble about two months ago. It finally got so bad that I called Elgato customer support. Th...

Works Very Well with a Few Caveats

Pros: —Replaces and performs better than the Logitech C922x Pro Stream Webcam when streaming/recording —Transmits uncompressed format to capture finer details, and uses a USB 3.0 port instead of 2.0 —Closest to having a DSLR lens that's in a more expensive camera —Camera software has lots of feature...

I have had this camera since Feb and while I do like it, unlike my Kiyo Pro, there is NO auto focus. This amazed me as I just found this out recently. According to Elgato this is a streamer based camera so they removed unneeded functions for streamers. Removing the mic I understand, but it baffles m...
