• Variable FOD,
• smart exposure and focus,
• detachable cable

REASONS TO BUY

• Buttery smooth 60fps 1080p 
• HDR setting

Edging out ahead of the competition, the latest addition to Razer’s webcam family. This beast does not come cheap, but it delivers a performance worth every penny. From a smooth 1080p 60FPS option for gameplay to a high res ‘HDR’ mode for improved video quality what more could a streamer ask for

3. AVerMedia PW315

SPECIFICATIONS

• Resolution: 1080p 60fps
• FoV: 95.8° Fixed Focus
• Microphone Coverage: 3m/9.8ft
• Image Sensor: 2MP CMOS image sensor
• Corded USB Type A

REASONS TO BUY

• Buttery smooth 60fps 1080p 
• With a 95-degree field of view, it shouldn’t lose track of you if you move around a bit

REASONS TO AVOID

• Too expensive/powerful for casual use
• Grainy, pixelated images
• Tinny microphone

The PW315’s approach goes beyond basic use: it offers dedicated features for those who want to create content and need more features. So are our impressions.

PW315 is a webcam that falls under the name of off-road. It fits in the palm of one hand, is easy to use, and offers pretty good results in every way. It may be a little behind for those who want to broadcast or create content, but it does very well with the basic functions in a work or student environment. Although it loses strength in dimly lit environments, sharpness and field of view are two quite positive factors that increase its value.

The only negative element is that you need to condition the lighting in your room. The PW315 does not incorporate light rings, and in dim environments it loses muscle. In any case, this has an easy solution, since the results in good light are adequate compared to what we expect from it. Something similar happens with the microphones, which maintain a correct level for video conferencing, but not when you want to record a podcast or announce a piece (or streaming).

4. logitech StreamCAM

The best Logitech webcam for content creation

SPECIFICATIONS

• Resolution: 1080p
• Features: Smart auto-focus and exposure, AI-enabled facial tracking,
•  9:16 format,
• built-in electronic image stabilization,
•  USB Type-C connectivity

REASONS TO BUY

• Content creation features
• Facial tracking
• Auto focusing

REASONS TO AVOID

• Too expensive for simple office use
• Fixed USB-C cable connection

The Logitech Stream cam will not just have your back when your video conferencing, video chatting or live streaming your games. It offers many tools for content creation.

Mount it on a tripod, with use of USB Type-C for fast and more efficient video transfer speeds.

5. Microsoft Lifecam HD-3000

SPECIFICATIONS

• Resolution & framerate: 720p/30fps
• Focus type: Fixed
• Built-in mic: Mono

REASONS TO BUY

• Cheap, won’t hurt budget
• Offers solid 720 calling

REASONS TO AVOID

• No vertical tilt
• Not 1080p Video
• blurry images make it a poor choice and no improvement over a built-in laptop camera

The Microsoft LifeCam HD 3000 is the external webcam that you buy if you are either limited by your budget or just do not know any better. The device’s blurry photos are not much of an improvement over a laptop’s built-in cam unless it’s the worst of the worst.

The LifeCam HD’s microphone does nothing to reduce ambient noise. On the contrary, it provides some of its own, crackling as I adjusted the camera into a satisfactory position. It was easy enough to hear my voice, though there was a hint of an echo during playback.

What should you look for when buying a webcam?

In this bizarre new world of home working, you may feel a little overwhelmed when looking at webcams to buy – after all, all these cheap models on Amazon look the same right?

Webcams are usually marketed with resolution (720p, 1080p, 4K). One of the most important factor’s people consider when purchasing.

But there are many other considerations that make a webcam ‘good’ or ‘bad’.

The first thing to consider is what you need your webcam for.

For working professionals or office staff, most conference calling software such as Zoom, or Microsoft Teams will restrict your broadcast quality to 1080p resolution and 30fps to preserve bandwidth.

Google meets goes a step further and restricts your quality to 720p as this is the standard resolution on most built-in laptop cameras.

So if you are planning on using a webcam purely for these work-related calls then you should not waste your money in buying a 4k camera, it will not benefit you.

The light and color detection will vary for each model though, with voice quality taking effect as well.

For content creators such as YouTubers or Streamers, there is a range of powerful webcams available, with some reaching 4K resolution and 60fps for buttery smooth video and a powerful result.

These webcams are pricey but with features like a variable FOV, adjustable features, paying the extra cash could prove a worthy investment to your hobby.

What DO WE THINK?

Our list is heavy on big names such as Logitech for good reason. Reputable brands have been tested across many different devices, making sure the product is worthy for its consumers.

Therefore, you may see different quality if you use the same camera on a desktop and a laptop. The webcam hardware communicates differently with different devices.

Logitech, Razer and other well-known webcam manufacturers have evolved, to provide a product that works well across a wide range of different machines.

No matter which device you use, you should see similar results.

A cheap 1080p/30fps webcam from the market may disappoint! if the drivers and sensors are not up to the same standards as trusted products on our list. so do not take the resolution and framerate as gospel that you will be getting great video quality.
