I was looking to replace my logitech web cam and went down a rabbit hole of using fancy DSLR for video conferencing ... then I decided I don't need higher quality than the c920
- badwolf 4y agoDecent lighting does wonders here. Most webcams, in particular the c920 workhorse work great - when there's sufficient lighting!
- JohnBooty 4y agoYeah, c920 + a flattering angle + decent lighting = absolutely fine. Honestly, laptop webcam + flattering angle + decent lighting = also absolutely fine, but it's harder to get a nice angle with something built into the laptop. IMO a DSLR would only be useful if you're going for a filmlike look of softly blurred backgrounds, or maybe low light shooting made possible by the bigger lens and sensor. At that point it's probably bordering on ostentatious. At my last company the CEO had something like that, but he also used that setup for calls with investors and news outlets and such, so it made a lot of sense.
