Logitech’s camera integrates smoothly with popular streaming tools from Xsplit and OBS. Not a big problem if you’re a streamer though-viewers will focus on you instead. The only issue is some minor background noise. It delivers lifelike colours and lashings of detail in all lighting scenarios. Its 60fps refresh rate keeps things butter-smooth at this resolution. The StreamCam costs less than £100 and offers excellent 1080p recording quality. Video game streaming shows no sign of slowing down, and the Logitech StreamCam (£91) is the best option if you want to get involved in streaming without stepping up to mega-expensive creative cameras. Price: £45 | Check price on Amazon | Microsoft Pros: Solid 1080p video quality decent microphone compact and well-built Cons: Minimal adjustment no 1080p/60fps recording one-year warranty Microsoft’s Modern Webcam doesn’t have the high-end features of rivals but it supplies great 1080p video in a small, sturdy and easy to use package. There’s no movement adjustment beyond tilting but that won’t hinder most everyday situations. Its microphone is impressive, with minimal echo, and it’s easy to plug the camera into your PC or laptop and get working.
The Microsoft camera has decent build quality, a plastic privacy cover, and it can also record HDR video. It handles bright lights easily too-your face won’t be washed out if you’re sitting in front of a window. Microsoft’s camera does a great job with low-light situations, with images only becoming a little blurry. This camera records 1080p footage at 30fps-smooth enough for any everyday situation-and it produces plenty of detail and lifelike colours. The Microsoft Modern Webcam (£45) is the most affordable option in the group, and it’s our top choice if you want a camera for everyday calling that doesn’t cost the earth. Price: £72 | Check price on Amazon | John Lewis | Argos Pros: Crisp image quality privacy cover easy-to-use mount Cons: Issues in low light Overall, the C920s is the best option around right now: a crisp, clear and intuitive device that'll work in virtually any home or office situation.Īlso consider: The Logitech C922 HD Pro (£65) costs a little more than the C920s, but it offers 720p footage at 60fps and it includes a tripod, so it's better for streaming and smooth video.
Also make sure you buy the C920s, rather than the similar C920 HD Pro – the latter doesn't include the privacy shutter. The only other minor criticism is that the C920s is only middling in some low-light situations easily usable, but not as good as some other devices. If you have slim bezels, the front mounting mechanism may overstretch these – a slight annoyance. It can be tilted up and down, and it's easy to mount to any desktop display or laptop screen. The C920s is sturdy and includes a privacy cover.
