This is, by far, the single best camera I’ve tried at this price point for streaming. Going above this requires a dedicated DSLR and capture hardware, and you’re immediately into £600-700 territory.Out of the box, the Facecam comes with some really solid presets, with the only complaint being that the white balance is a little off on my lights, but then I have a non-ideal setup for background lighting, as I stream in my living room.But once you customise it under your key lighting conditions, it becomes amazing.Manual controls are DSLR-like, you can control shutter times and ISO controls independently to get your desired setup, exposure can be handled automatically with different biases for metering.My setup allows for 1/50s shutter speed to cope with the 50hz mains, and using ISO200, which is close to outdoor/daylight settings for dedicated cameras, with completely bearable key and fill lights, even at 2am.If you’re looking for a webcam for Teams/Zoom, then this is massive amounts of overkill, but if you’re serious about streaming, or content creation in general, this is a fantastic bit of hardware, it does NOT require any other bits in the Elgato ecosystem (lights are lights, after all), and is just brilliant overall.Tripod mounting is a huge benefit as well, get it down off of your monitor, unscrew the monitor mount, and directly screw in a tripod to the bottom. 

I purchased this camera because my monitors, that I use for photography, didn’t have a built in camera for video conferencing. This is an amazingly good camera that captures quality images for the online meetings. you’ll see the difference between your camera and the others that are using the built in cameras on their monitors….night and day. I also have the El Gato LED lights that work off your phone or computer to light up the work area. All good products.

Very expensive for a webcam, but the quality easily justifies the price. Works flawlessly on Mac OS – the supplied software is great and easy to use and above all the camera quality is second to none for a webcam

Very good best clear facecam 100%

The camera is amazing and the software makes it god tier. Look at the attached photo for comparison for out the box auto settings vs the c920. The picture settings you can change in the app are amazing with finding the perfect sweet spot for exposure and white balance along with contrast, saturation, Sharpness, zoom and noise reduction. This camera is well worth the upgrade and removes the requirement for an expensive DSLR for streaming! 

As a content creator in YouTube I’m always looking for a way to up my game when it comes to making content and the elgato facecam has done just that.This camera is the closest you will get to dslr quality without having to spend hundreds of pounds on a camera setup.It’s easy to set up and get going right out of the box, it offers fantastic picture quality and even manages to do well when you don’t have the best lighting (although if your making content I recommend picking up some lighting)Very happy with this purchase and it’s well worth the money

Brought this as a gift. Amazing camera worth the purchase.

I have to say all the webcams i’ve had the Elgato Facecam is by far the best camera i’ve had. The quality & build is spot on. I would highly recommend this webcam to everyone. 

Picture quality is crystal clear and so easy to use!

Works great, easy to install software and update firmware.Note only works on usb3, others have had problems with camera not working,The usb3 lead that comes with the camera is a bit iffy. I changed my lead to a 3mtr lead as their lead was to short to reach the PC.Can not fault the image quality at1080p 60.You can save the settings to the camera so that every time you use your camera no need to set up the settings again like other camera’s.

Disclaimer, I do own a few Elgatoe bits of gear, and yes, they can be pricey and in most cases cheaper alternatives can exist. But they make good gear. In the case of webcams though, very few exist that are doing it as correct and well designedly, as this one. The main shining light for Elgato and the Facecam gives you full control over ISO, shutter speed and more. And its actually changing what the cam is capturing and not editing it, as an after thought. Full DSLR or mirrlorless like control. But it also is a superb quality image, with a wide view and good (but unadjustable) focal range. It does lack an inbuilt microphone, but most devices you can simply connect mic. to. It may be a bit pricey, but it is worth it. One hang up might be the need to connect it via USB and not USBC, but adapters work. 

You might think paying this much money for a webcam is a waste of money, but if you work from home, stream or need high quality video conferencing, this is a very good option. There are ways to re-use existing digital cameras / mirrorless using a combination of tripods, additional dummy batteries, capture cards etc. however I didn’t want to go through the faff of buying all of these extra things for a result that is a lot bulkier and not as convenient.1080p60 is the gold standard. 4K webcams are terrible as they often use super tiny, poor quality sensors and cheap lenses, but jack up the price because – 4K. Most apps only support up to 1080p60 so anything higher is downsampled anyway.The Camera Hub software is great, there are lots of manual controls (ISO, WB, FOV, Exposure) to tweak the camera to your requirements and the camera supports every video conferencing app I use on macOS (FaceTime, Chime, Zoom, Teams, Slack etc.).Camera Hub also runs on Macs with Apple Silicon (e.g. M1, M1 Pro) with no issues.
