The problem with buying a webcam proper is that the industry has reached a "good enough" point where manufacturers will re-release essentially the same camera with no real improvements in resolution, hardware, or software.
I bought a Logitech webcam during the pandemic. Imagine my surprise when the webcam resolution was worse than the one built into my XPS 13.
- 1123581321 4y agoThe XPS has a 1080p camera. Were you trying to buy a 4K webcam and accidentally bought the super cheap 720p Logitech sells? Opal C1, Instalink, continuity cam/droidcam, and a DSLR/mirrorless setup like in this article are essentially your upgrade options if you don’t want to pay for a 4k Logitech.
- w_for_wumbo 4y agoThis is frustrating, I thought that the pandemic was going to create a demand for high quality webcams. I'd settle for a 4K phone quality. I bought the Logitech Brio thinking I'd get better picture than my phone (since it's a dedicated camera), which was a bit of a disappointment. I don't think it's terrible, but I had higher expectations of it.
- AndreasTheDead 4y agothats exactly how i feel over the brio, picture is greate but i hoped for more
