When to Choose Logitech MX Brio
Professionals who prioritize raw image quality and low-light performance with a trusted brand
The Logitech MX Brio delivers the best raw image quality in this roundup thanks to its large sensor. Low-light performance is excellent, and the build quality is premium. It lacks the AI tracking smarts of OBSBOT and Insta360, but if pure video quality is your priority, it's hard to beat.
Strengths
- Excellent 4K image quality with a large 1/1.2-inch sensor for superior low-light
- Premium build quality with aluminum body and integrated privacy shutter
- Logitech Tune app provides Show Mode, RightLight, and auto-framing
Limitations
- At $200, it's expensive for a webcam without gimbal or PTZ tracking
- Auto-framing is basic compared to OBSBOT and Insta360 AI tracking
- March 2024 release means it's among the older products in this roundup
When to Choose Elgato Facecam 4K
Streamers and content creators in the Elgato ecosystem who use external microphones and want top-tier video
The Elgato Facecam 4K is a webcam designed by streamers, for streamers. The Sony STARVIS 2 sensor produces exceptional image quality, and the lens filter mount is a unique creative tool. The deliberate omission of a microphone is a bold choice — this is for creators who already have dedicated audio gear.
Strengths
- Outstanding 4K image quality with Sony STARVIS 2 sensor and wide dynamic range
- Interchangeable lens filter mount for ND filters and creative effects
- Deep integration with Elgato Stream Deck and Camera Hub software
Limitations
- No built-in microphone — requires a separate mic for audio
- No AI tracking or auto-framing features
- Premium price for a webcam that intentionally omits a mic
