Logitech brio

Advantages: Not the built-in cord, who constantly moves the camera, knows what it is when the built-in one breaks and the case is not collapsible. As a result, you have to change the camera, or farm. Solid body, good materials. Great for streaming and recording, works seamlessly in OBS and splitters. It rustles on both poppy and Windows.

Disadvantages: Thick cord, outweighs the camera, heats up. Afraid of the dark, without a softbox, or the northern light from the window opposite there is no sense from the camera. A microscopic sensor simply cannot let a lot of light pass through. I am shining 2 software of 100 W + counter. By the way, it keeps glare well.

Comment: I will say without hiding, it is used in the studio for web cam models, everyone is happy. You need a powerful computer to stream in 4K, otherwise you will lose frames. The simplest way to check whether it will pull without going into hardware is as follows: download a couple of movies in 4K, run it in two different windows and watch the resource monitor, if it doesn't lag, then the camera will pull too. Now works through a splitter on 6 sites simultaneously. Verdict - you can take, if necessary. There is no difference when streaming at 1080p between this and 930, for example.

Advantages: Real 4K / 30 frames or FHD / 60 frames. There is a tripod mount (!) The picture quality is decent. Works well in low light, really well. All sorts of fakes such as background filter, automatic green screen and so on. Windows Hello. It just takes a second to find me and unlock the computer. Gorgeous.

Disadvantages: For 4k, you just need perfect light, otherwise the frame rate drops greatly to 10-20, apparently due to additional processing to compensate for low light. There is no such thing on FHD / 60. I want real 30 frames in 4k in any conditions, even at the expense of picture quality. This is extremely frustrating. I turned off all the enhancements I could and still didn't see 30 frames! The software in the bundle is certainly not great, for some reason each additional sneeze is put in a separate program. The software is crude, adds shortcuts to the start-up with the name of the program, but each of them leads to the removal of the program. Well, what the hell is that.

Comment: All sorts of fakes like a background filter, an automatic green screen and so on work for a C grade. Well, in general, yes, if you suddenly want to stream and there is no green background, then it will go, cut off more or less everything is good. You can blur the background. But the algorithm needs a lot of work, no full replacement for the green screen will definitely come out. So that you understand this is a software algorithm, this is not a raiser for you, where Intel's technology scans the room and your face in 3D and removes the unnecessary (although there, too, the performance is not great).

Advantages: The appearance and overall build quality is beyond doubt. Simple and convenient configuration interface. The rest is in the comments ...

Disadvantages: Price and price again! The rest is in the comments ..

Comment: The camera left an impression of five points with a big minus ... The quality of the picture depends very much on the quality of lighting, but this is typical of all cameras, but the sensitivity to light leaves much to be desired. The microphone also lacks stars from the sky, the voice is distorted due to active noise cancellation, but you can talk without problems. The function of replacing the background does not work entirely correctly, but here it is worth telling in more detail, in addition to good light for the correct operation of this function, it is necessary that the color of your skin, hair and clothes (what you want to leave unchanged in the frame) enters into a strong contrast with that what is behind you (wallpaper, furniture, etc.), for example, a white shirt and dark wallpaper behind you (black red, etc.) or vice versa, as an option, you can hang a blanket or something like that, this function is still beta, it may be further improved. The difference between 4k 30 frames and Full hd 60 frames is mainly noticeable in the quality of the picture, in frames, unless you specifically compare the two modes, it is difficult to distinguish between each other by eye, it is great both here and there, the picture is smooth, without jerks and freezes. The packaging is complete asceticism and this is upsetting, I understand that the box does not affect anything, but when buying a top-end product I want it to be packed accordingly, and not in gray cardboard ... In general, the camera is far from for everyone, but if something this really needs the choice here is not great, this is definitely a top solution, there is no better web camera on the market yet. In my opinion, a reasonable price for her is 9000r, it definitely costs this money, it is doubtful more, taking into account all the existing disadvantages, but it's up to you, to those who don't care about the financial moment, I definitely recommend!

Advantages: - Very clear picture. - Turning on the computer now takes 4 seconds from standby mode (and this is not yet with the most powerful hardware). Thanks Windows Hello. It used to be 6-8 seconds. - High-quality chroma key support (good for streaming). - A thick USB cable, it's hard to break it. - Manufacturer's warranty 3 years. - HDR equalizes brightness. - Fine tuning of brightness and other parameters. - A shutter included, which can cover the camera. - A special bag, you can put the camera and cord in it, take it with you. - Ability to remove the camera unit and rearrange it on a tripod. By the way, this is done not by turning it clockwise or counterclockwise, but simply pull up and at the same time tilt the block to the side.

Disadvantages: - The price, I took it for almost 14 thousand. Compared to the previous flagship of the company, the price could not be raised by 2 times, one and a half would still be acceptable. - There is a lot of "noise" in low light, so make sure in advance that your room is bright enough to broadcast. Or take a more powerful chandelier, or put the table to the window - so that daylight falls on you, then noise will decrease and image detail will increase significantly. - It turns out that the microphone is "mono", although there are 2 holes for the microphone, but this is purely a decorative feature. But it doesn't spoil the sound, it's just that the first impression is mistaken.

Comment: - I'm mostly satisfied with the camera, after C310 (HD 720p) the difference is certainly noticeable in a positive direction. I did not like the strong noises, especially in the evening, but this is most likely due to the fact that my room is rather dark. - Unfortunately, the computer did not pull out 4K fully (it works for 5 minutes, and then the program writes that "frames are being skipped", and this is even with the latest firmware and version of the program). On board: Core i3 (2 cores), 8 GB of RAM, SSD and GeForce 1060 GTX. If anyone knows, please tell me what configuration should be so that 4K does not slow down at all? So that the message does not pop up about skipping frames. I was glad to share my impressions.

Advantages: Excellent quality in FULLHD especially if recorded in 4k and then reduced to FULLHD. Normal sound.

Disadvantages: 4k does not shoot as clearly as we would like ... And only in the standard application Windows camera and with a slight lag in sound. If in 4k. As I understand it, a lot depends on the hardware and not so much on its power as on compatibility, I don’t know the sharpness of the program ... Because someone, according to reviews, seems to have all the rules, and someone has something like me, how I look at reviews ... The dude with ryzen saw a review, which is the same as mine, and those who have intel do not seem to complain ... I think maybe this is the problem? Or what? I began to think about a percentage, because before I had another one and in order for the program to work for the camera to automatically remove the background, I needed a function in the processor that was not in my old amd-shnom. I wonder why it shoots differently on different powerful modern computers? Why does it depend?

Comment: In order to write 4K, you need USB 3.0. And I have USB 3.0 and 3.1 on my mother. And it does not record 4k via USB 3.1 ... the speed is not enough ... or somehow I don’t remember connecting it for a long time ... Although USB 3.1 speed should be higher ...

Advantages: Design, visor from overhead light and from "peeping" for those who are afraid of this, monitor mount, mount connector compatible with photographic equipment, metal body that dissipates heat well during work, USB 3, long UBS-C cable, work indicator light, Logi Capture a convenient free application that allows you to stream to several applications at the same time, although it eats a lot of resources.

Disadvantages: 4K is just marketing, the frame rate in this resolution is some kind of slideshow, you can forget about it, it's just good FullHD. When you start the Logitech G HUB application, for example, to adjust the keyboard backlight, the camera settings are reset to default, you have not yet had time to press something and the camera settings have already been reset, a big drawback if you stream and are online. If you disconnect the camera from USB-C and then reconnect, then the camera settings are reset to default. It costs twice as much as the Logitech C920 with not much better performance.

Comment: A rare product from Logitech that met expectations, after the company began to be greedy and degraded, which was probably reflected in all its products.

Advantages: Normal camera, software for two cameras is convenient

Disadvantages: For shooting details on the table, it is also not very suitable as 920, the image is blurred in the same way, so for my purposes - online master classes - I see no difference from 920, which costs 2.5 times less.

Comment:

Advantages: The quality of the chamber is very good It is possible to close the chamber mechanically

Disadvantages: Heats up (perceptibly)

Comment: Despite the fact that the camera heats up during use, there are no noticeable problems from this, I will not say that I use it constantly, but during those few months of use there were no problems with it.

Advantages: there is a connection via usb type-c, a clear picture is not buggy

Disadvantages: the quality of color reproduction is periodically lame - facial tints are often unnatural, you have to carefully expose the light so that the camera can easily select the correct white balance

Comment: in general, it performs its functions, but for such a price tag I expected more

Advantages: The only webcam at the moment that supports 4k or 1080p 60fps. Excellent image quality. A bending rubber base, which can be placed on almost any surface.

Disadvantages: Not that there is not enough wealth, but on the C920 the webcam could be mounted on a tripod shoe, because there was a thread, in BRIO it is not.

Comment: The C920 had a camera with stereo sound, why it was removed here is not entirely clear, perhaps there was not enough space, in any case, personally, I have never used this sound, there are separate microphones for this.
