Apparently the camera in last year's M1 macbook was already a huge upgrade compared to previous ones, and the new macbook pros have a higher quality 1080p sensor, and both leverage some of the special IP blocks on the chip to make the image even better, so it should almost certainly do better than the C920 (especially around audio capture as well, if you use that)
- reayn 5y agoThe M1 cameras are not a huge upgrade, they are the same as the ones macbooks have had for years now; they just now make use of the M1's image processing hardware, and even then the improvement is nothing to write home about. I love my M1 Air but this is one area where it doesn't really shine. If the 1080p camera is anywhere near the one in the new iMac, it should be better than anything you need.
- buu700 5y agoInteresting. I can't speak to the Pro, but my M1 MBA camera didn't* seem any different from the one in my 2013 MBP. If this camera is actually better than the C920, that's pretty cool. Does anyone know how an iPad Pro camera compares? I'm guessing that'll be a decent indicator of what the new MacBook hardware is like. *: I use the past tense because the camera lasted about a month before it randomly died. Now the camera light is always on (or at least it was before I taped over it) and the OS no longer recognizes it. (None of which I really mind, since I was planning to tape over it either way.)
