How is the quality compared to a decent webcam (like a Logitech C920), assuming regular lighting?
BTW I noticed this towards the end, which probably doesn't matter if you're using this only for video calls: "The upstream repository providing the uvc-gadget application currently defaults to 720p resolution, which is great for most use cases. You can stream at 1080p, though the Pi Zero and older Pis may drop frames at that resolution. Follow this issue for progress making resolution more easily configurable."
- geerlingguy 6y agoIn the video, I specifically highlighted the C920 at 0:50 or so (compare that—in the same lighting conditions—to the footage at the start of the video). Note that the default viewing angle of the C920 is a bit wider than the 6mm lens on the Pi.
- rahimnathwani 6y agoThank you. I'll check out the video. The C920 viewing angle is a bit wide for me, actually, so I have it mounted on a 12" monopod attached to the wall behind my monitor. EDIT: In the video, your Pi camera looks sharper than the C920, and the depth of field is shallower. Your skin colour looks comparatively flat in front of the C920. I think I have a Pi Zero gathering dust somewhere, so maybe...
