WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.919
now looky here if i was to design a webcam for streaming

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:10.320
this would be pretty much exactly

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:13.200
spec for spec what i would do at least on paper at least we're gonna have to

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:17.840
see how the experience compares it's the elgato face cam uh this is a

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:22.400
very exciting product elgato makes very solid products people always complain they're a little

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.599
overpriced but really like their lights are comparable to more professional

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:29.599
lights with good color uh their mics pretty good their sound

00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:31.840
panels again and when that was so overpriced but it's like when you

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:35.680
actually look at what they're doing they're accomplishing three different sound treatment things

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:39.280
and so i'm guessing it's the same with this it's a 200 webcam that's not too

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:45.920
expensive but that's kind of on the high end of webcams especially a 1080p webcam

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.960
but that's okay i prefer my webcam to be 1080p

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:51.760
anyway reason for that it's a tiny sensor so if you try and fit uh that 8

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:56.160
million pixel count which is what 4k is those

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:00.399
are tiny ass pixels and uh the bigger your pixel the

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:04.159
better it's probably gonna be especially for low light and when you stream you're

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:08.000
often in low light and so in my opinion for streaming 1080p is better it's going

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:12.560
on twitch it can only be 1080p anyway usually your little window so small anyway for video

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:16.080
conferencing 1080p is plenty uh and the compression's insane so uh

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:20.240
let's see what's in the box we got this box inside a box we got some

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:24.479
cables it's a long usb 8 to type c

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.040
i actually tried out this webcam yesterday it seemed to only work with

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.920
this cable i tried other usbc cables because i was having issues

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:36.880
would only register with this one so that's an interesting thing we're going to have to

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:41.360
play around with a little bit more so the last thing in the box

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:43.680
is instruction manual maybe i do need this because i was having trouble with

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.799
it yesterday it's nice it comes with well we'll get

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.880
to that a little instruction guides quick start it's pretty easy though plug it in

00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:56.000
use the app you want to use it's not one of those cameras you can use in two apps

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:01.439
at once which is normal although that would be nice especially for streaming devices i want

00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:05.040
cameras and capture cards that can be able to be read in two apps at once

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:08.560
that's a big selling feature for me the amount of times you need to record or

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.440
in a different app than you're streaming that's big that's big elgato you should

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:15.040
know you should know ava media provides it

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:22.000
all right now to the prime time baby

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:23.599
a little baggy to protect it um

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.879
here's the camera the it comes with the privacy cover i seem to have left it at

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.879
home uh it just goes on top it's uh plastic browned like a lens cap

00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:35.120
but it's uh it's nice so you don't have to worry about it turning on and watching it without you

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.800
knowing especially with that uh big russian farm of hackers that just

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:45.200
display webcams and security cams on their websites 24 7 that you can just go watch

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.560
it's pretty scary as you can see it's actually a little bit bigger than you i

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:53.200
would expect most webcams to be it's got more depth and that's a good sign so this is the

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.760
anchor one fairly similar sex sex yep specs it does

00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:01.840
1080p 60 as well it can also do lower resolutions uh

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.080
lower frame rates 1080p 30 might be better for you especially if it's a low

00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:09.599
light situation but on twitch usually it's 60.

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.800
as you can see this camera is just deeper

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.200
than what a typical webcam looks like that's a good thing we're going to talk

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.720
a little bit about more why it's so deep later but in terms of

00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:23.599
the rest of the body it's pretty standard it's got a monitor mount which is fine but it also has a quarter

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:29.280
20 screw which is really nice so you could actually put it into a tripod or

00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:31.760
into a different many many many camera accessories so

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.519
depending on your situation this is actually awesome you could put a like a

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:39.840
quick release plate and snap it into a tripod this is that's a great thing i find it very

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.840
frustrating when you're trying to use a webcam in certain situations so

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:48.400
that's a big plus it's padded so you don't have to worry about scratching

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:50.400
your monitor which is very good so the big

00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:52.480
selling features of this lens are that it's pared down some of the features

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:56.959
that are kind of unnecessary on a webcam so most

00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.080
webcams have a little mic if you're using it primarily for video

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:06.319
conferencing that's nice to have especially if the computer you're using doesn't have a mic

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.439
but for a few reasons the mic on a webcam generally sucks

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:13.599
not only is it like a tiny little mic sometimes there's like a dual array

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:15.760
but it's so far away from the speaker that the sound quality is never gonna be

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:20.959
good and so what they've done to cut costs is just forego the mic and for streamers i

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:25.680
think that makes a lot of sense one of the first things you should buy as a streamer is

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:27.600
a decent mic because your audio is very important

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:30.960
it's a lot easier to connect with someone if their mics are good and so i

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:36.720
think that's a smart choice that's a smart compromise to make in terms of what's actually in here

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:40.160
it's the same sensor that's in the dell ultra sharp

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:43.199
webcam that we unboxed or alex unboxed a couple weeks ago

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:46.800
so it's a good sony sensor they advertise a bigger size

00:04:44.320 --> 00:04:49.919
than it is at least the the dell one did and so it should be good in low light

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:52.160
sony's i mean at the top of the sensor game these days so that's great but what

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:57.680
i think is great is that it's a uh 24 millimeter

00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:00.720
equivalent f 2.4 lens which is pretty ideal for streaming if i

00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:05.759
was to buy a prime lens for a camera i would buy like a 24 or 28

00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:08.560
lens and have it a bit further away from myself i've streamed with a 20

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:12.800
millimeter lens and it's it's been uh it's a little

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:17.680
bit wide it kind of distorts your face a bit so i think 24 equivalent is kind of the sweet spot so

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:22.560
i'm excited to see how this looks uh and how this performs

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.080
after we talk about our sponsor i fix it

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:28.560
thank you to ifixit for sponsoring today's video level up your workbench

00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:31.680
with ifix's line of marlins screwdrivers each screwdriver has an ergonomic

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.840
rubberized handle with a swivel top and a black oxide coated tip

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.960
it holds tiny screws with the steel grip the lid is magnetically attached and

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:43.120
doubles as a sorting tray in stand very convenient it's got a lifetime

00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:47.759
warranty so if you break it they'll replace it grab yourself a set today at the link in

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.039
the description below so i'm very excited to use this

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:55.759
thing i actually got rid of my my cine camera that i was using for streaming i've been

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:59.520
kind of looking for a cheap alternative for a while and so i'm excited to see if this can do

00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:04.240
what i wanted to do it's got eight elements in the lens and each element has a double

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:08.000
layer of reflective coating so there shouldn't be issues with weird glare or

00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.240
uh lens flaring which i think is really good especially in a studio environment

00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:16.000
where there's bright lights in every weird direction we've had webcams where

00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:18.880
there's just unusable lens flare and it kind of just sucks

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:21.600
and so let's see what it looks like my impressions right off the bat it's that

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.800
it's having a little bit of trouble with the white balance it's not i'm not

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:28.479
really giving it a fair shot just because it's facing a blue wall

00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:32.400
so let's give it a bit more of a neutral background and see if that does

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.680
a little bit better it's still really contrasty it's really

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:39.759
red and that's actually what i noticed yesterday is that it the skin tones are kind of a little bit off

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:43.680
and over warm so let's see if i can change it a little bit so i think i'd

00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:47.680
want like a slightly cooler tone so it's nice you can be able to do this there's the

00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:51.039
elgato camera hub software where you can actually do more fine-tuning but

00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:54.240
as of the time of the shooting this video it's not out so i'd be very

00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:57.759
excited to see exactly what kind of fine controls because i think i could fix

00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:02.080
the color issues a little bit more and make it look pretty good because the

00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:06.639
overall look is very good it's very clear it looks like a webcam but

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.199
sharper and a little cleaner just kidding we have the software now through

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:16.160
a communication breakdown with he who shall not be fired

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:18.960
uh we have we have

00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:21.360
found it we we got it i'm excited about that because this

00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:24.319
could be i think what is the biggest selling feature of this camera is the

00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:28.639
ability to uh control all the settings and get the

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:33.599
image exactly how you want it auto can be okay um but generally

00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:38.400
it struggles especially if you want like something specific if you want your background to be very dark and you to be

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.400
kind of more poppy in the front it can struggle to be okay which

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:45.680
exposure am i going for and you want to be able to just set it

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:49.440
back no set for my skin and then the background is supposed to be black and so why don't we just go through the

00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:52.639
settings and see how it is i've defaulted everything to the

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.160
automatic the first thing is just you got your input it's great

00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:00.160
you can actually save your settings right to the camera so at the end of this i'm just going to hit the save

00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:04.720
button and it's going to save right into this camera and then you can move it between devices and it'll keep

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:08.800
the settings that being said if you're moving it between devices you're probably changing it

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:12.800
like to different lighting setups anyway and so you'll probably want to have the

00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:15.759
elgato software on there anyway it's useful though

00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:20.240
the first one is the zoom which is very fun to play with

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:22.639
that's my mouth it's a digital zoom so i wouldn't recommend doing this

00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:26.720
yeah i would generally just leave it so you're getting the full amount of the sensor and the full lens

00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:31.520
it's gonna be the best image that being said that maybe there's a use case where you really need it zoomed in

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:34.399
that's fine you do you you do you in terms of picture there's the contrast

00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:38.719
saturation and sharpness generally i think that webcams are a little too contrasty i kind of prefer

00:08:37.599 --> 00:08:42.560
more flat look i think it's this is probably a little bit too flat zero percent so i'm gonna

00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:50.320
go somewhere 20 i think that looks a little bit better it's not too oversaturated i mean like

00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:51.600
that's over saturated oh yeah i like it

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.320
and then we got our sharpness oh yeah you can just see how blurry it gets it looks very almost like a dream

00:08:54.640 --> 00:09:00.480
lens at the bottom end and then at the top end it's definitely

00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:02.399
over sharp i think i prefer it a little softer

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:06.240
exposure i'm going to take it off automatic i so exposure is something

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:10.800
that i think is one of the more important settings about a camera but generally a camera

00:09:09.760 --> 00:09:14.640
just kind of takes the whole picture and is like okay we want it to average out to this amount it takes like

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.839
the highs the lows and kind of just figures out something in between

00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.800
that's not always great because maybe you do want a lot of bright or a lot of

00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:26.240
dark and if if it's doing that it can just struggle to kind of find

00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:29.200
what you want and generally what it'll do is it'll just change the shutter

00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:35.040
speed uh and so if it's really bright it'll go to a more closed shutter angle

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:38.399
but then you'll it'll like be really like jittery and

00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:41.839
and kind of gross it'll look like kind of saving private ryan the

00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:45.519
the the beach scenes when it's like you can tell it's it's it's too clear

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:49.440
but then the opposite if that's too much light it's gonna have to open the shutter and then it's just really smeary

00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.000
and crappy and i can actually just show you guys this if you go into high shutter speeds you

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:58.160
can see like the movements like kind of over clear and it just

00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.440
looks really jittery it's not great it's not as bad as like a real if you're

00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:06.399
doing this on a cine camera and then if you go the other way where it's really smear i mean it's

00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:11.279
obviously overexposed as well but that's kind of generally as the shutter speed is how a webcam will

00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:14.800
compensate for exposure that's not what you want you generally

00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:20.240
want to have your shutter speed be your frame rate uh times two like

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:25.040
dividing one so it's like if you're shooting at 30 uh you want it to be 1 60

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:28.880
of a second is your shutter speed that's just it most closely approximate how

00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:32.800
film was shot back in the day where the shutter was half half of the frame was

00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:36.399
a close shutter and so that's generally the rule with cine cameras and it's nice

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:40.240
on this camera you're able to set it so we're shooting at 60 so we're going

00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:42.959
to set our shutter speed at 125 which is the closest to 120

00:10:41.760 --> 00:10:46.240
and that should look pretty good and it does i think that looks that looks good and then you can muck around with your

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:51.680
iso because it's pretty bright in here uh 164 is fine with 100

00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:57.600
if it was a little dimmer you'd probably have to crank it a little bit and get it to be noisier you can see

00:10:54.560 --> 00:10:59.680
the blues right there

00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:03.760
it's noisy af dog you got your white balance you can turn it off

00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:07.519
i think it's over compensating a little bit like it's going

00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:10.320
too warm and i think there the camera is having a little bit of trouble with

00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:14.399
white balance in terms of like my skin tone it's just like it's moving it all into something kind

00:11:12.880 --> 00:11:17.120
of a little bit unpleasant it's not terrible it's not the worst webcam color

00:11:16.079 --> 00:11:21.760
i've seen but i can i mean that's something that you pay for in really high end cine cameras is

00:11:20.079 --> 00:11:26.000
really nice skin tone that just looks natural and it's very separate from all the

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:29.279
other colors in a frame this is like my skin tone looks very

00:11:27.839 --> 00:11:32.720
similar to like like something in between that wood and

00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:36.160
that like it's just it's all kind of a color so i'm gonna play around with

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:40.640
the white balance a little bit i think this is a bit of a bummer you can go from like cold to warm

00:11:39.040 --> 00:11:44.320
temperatures which is great but there's no tint setting and that's when you buy

00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:47.200
especially when you buy cheap lights usually it's like there's too much green

00:11:46.079 --> 00:11:51.680
uh or sometimes there'll be too much magenta and that's actually i think

00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:54.399
almost as necessary control as you're cool to warm

00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:57.040
uh in terms of compensation so it's kind of a bummer that they offer this much

00:11:56.079 --> 00:12:02.720
control but there's no tint but that being said uh having a white balance is nice

00:12:00.079 --> 00:12:05.120
the last option is the noise reduction uh

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.360
it's not a particularly noisy camera i've seen way noisier i'm sure if we

00:12:06.880 --> 00:12:12.800
used pretty much any built-in webcam it would be a lot noisier this is pretty clean

00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:15.120
but you can turn it on generally this noise reduction doesn't look like it's a

00:12:14.079 --> 00:12:19.040
super advanced uh advanced one in the sense that like

00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:22.959
it just looks like a kind of a bit of a smear across the whole thing you can see my

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:26.240
skin i mean my pores getting old boys getting old people uh

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:31.920
it just like is softened a little bit same with the noise like the background this

00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:36.639
the wall uh if you look at it this is with noise reduction on

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.440
there uh you can see it's like kind of

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:42.000
smeary and then i turn noise reduction off and it's like a little bit sharper so it's just it's one

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:46.000
of those noise reduction filters that just blurs everything a little bit it's fine

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:50.560
i probably would keep it off just because it's not that noisy anyway and i want a little bit of extra clarity

00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:53.200
without the the digital sharpening and then you got an anti-flicker

00:12:51.680 --> 00:12:57.680
although there's not really any issues in the back but it's nice a nice option to have and

00:12:55.600 --> 00:13:01.279
so i can save it there it is that's pretty easy and honestly the

00:12:59.760 --> 00:13:05.360
having this amount of control uh while maybe it's not as fully

00:13:03.839 --> 00:13:09.279
featured as a cine camera it's good and it's a huge deal

00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:12.800
especially if you want to learn how to manage a camera this is a 200 camera

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:17.200
that's pretty cheap compared to a mirrorless uh even a point-and-shoot is pretty

00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:19.760
expensive and so for this it gives you a little bit of ability to try some

00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:23.600
settings out it's not it's not going to be like your your your

00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:27.440
end game camera but uh this this control is very

00:13:26.079 --> 00:13:31.360
exciting for a webcam i was hoping for a little bit of a more

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:37.279
noticeable jump in clarity especially because they advertise that it's a

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:40.480
422 uncompressed video going to the computer whereas most cameras are

00:13:38.959 --> 00:13:43.040
are compressing the video which adds processing time so there's theoretically

00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:48.480
less lag and it's supposed to be higher quality video it's that's a huge deal

00:13:46.880 --> 00:13:52.959
especially if you're a streamer using a green screen having the extra color information

00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:56.639
allows it to be a cleaner key and so that's a huge deal if that's the

00:13:55.279 --> 00:14:01.519
kind of streaming you want to do in terms of color it's hard this isn't the ideal webcam setup

00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:04.160
i find generally flatter lighting is more giving a webcam a better shot

00:14:03.680 --> 00:14:07.519
because you're kind of seeing the edge of the set as well as like a bunch of different

00:14:06.800 --> 00:14:11.760
lights it's just probably going to struggle a little bit i think again i could probably fix it a

00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:15.760
little bit if i had more manual controls but unfortunately today i cannot but this is

00:14:13.760 --> 00:14:18.880
this is not a bad webcam like i said i took it home yesterday i was having

00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:21.600
crazy connectivity issues and so your your mileage may vary we

00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:24.800
aren't having those issues today but basically uh while i was streaming every

00:14:23.920 --> 00:14:30.079
like 30 seconds every 20 seconds i mean i'll just give the editor a clip he can make

00:14:28.160 --> 00:14:34.160
like a five second super cut of my frustration technical difficulties on

00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:42.560
the first second again oh this one sucks

00:14:37.760 --> 00:14:42.560
for tonight i chose the rhino

00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:58.000
yeah there's not this room isn't that exciting i mean i'll show you guys the view the views the view is pretty cool

00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:00.399
oh my god

00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.040
no nothing it's not even showing up anymore

00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:06.079
but this this isn't bad it's totally usable again webcams are in a weird spot

00:15:05.199 --> 00:15:09.120
where they kind of have to cap out at 200 i

00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:14.240
mean 200 isn't cheap it's expensive for a webcam but when you compare it to

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:17.760
a mirrorless or a cine camera or something else it's a

00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:21.760
it's a it's cheap alternative but if you were to make this more expensive

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:24.880
you would have to just sell it as a camera i mean once you're into 500

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:29.680
range you're just buying a point and shoot at that point or you could buy like an a5000 like

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:33.759
uh or like that series of camera and really do a lot better

00:15:31.199 --> 00:15:35.759
and so what i'm finding is yeah skin tone's a little bit off it's having a

00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:40.560
little bit of trouble the autofocus seems to be pretty good although for f 2.4 i'm finding that the

00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:45.519
bokeh is not particularly attractive the field of view is pretty good it's 82 degree field

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:49.759
of view which is pretty nice you could actually get in pretty close and the autofocus is

00:15:47.839 --> 00:15:54.000
tracking me pretty good uh the optimized distance is 12 inches to 47 inches which is

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:59.839
pretty close to where you would be when you're streaming or like video conferencing but

00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:04.959
let's compare it to what's built into this laptop this is what this camera looks like you

00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:08.639
can see the has a lot of trouble with the highlights

00:16:06.079 --> 00:16:11.519
it's a really struggling with my skin tone it's trying to bring up the blacks

00:16:10.079 --> 00:16:15.839
too much and so it's just weird colors weird uh like my face is

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:19.440
just a yellow red blob it's not very attractive it's very

00:16:18.079 --> 00:16:25.440
grainy it's not very clear would not recommend using this at all

00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:28.320
so yeah overall this is a pretty good option

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:31.199
i mean in my head every time i look at a new fancy webcam

00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:34.839
i hope that it's going to be like competitive with a much more expensive

00:16:33.040 --> 00:16:39.120
camera and that's kind of an unrealistic expectation but this is

00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:43.199
pretty good the question remains is it worth 200

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:48.560
of your hard earned dollars maybe i say that the razer keo pro is

00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:50.800
probably a better option out of the box

00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:52.560
however this one with the fine tuning you could kind of get it to a better

00:16:52.079 --> 00:16:57.120
spot i think the uncompressed video if you're someone that wants to use a green screen

00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:01.040
that's a huge deal that's a lot better like a lot

00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:04.400
better trust me and so this is a pretty good option on

00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:09.039
the market it's definitely worth checking out just like it's worth checking out our

00:17:07.280 --> 00:17:12.640
