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

Value seekers who want 4K resolution and a built-in ring light at the lowest price possible
The EMEET S600L is the best 4K webcam value on the market. At $80, you get 4K resolution, a built-in ring light, and AI auto-framing — features that typically cost $150+. The software and build quality reflect the price, but the image quality punches well above its weight.
Strengths
- 4K resolution at an incredibly competitive $80 price point
- Built-in adjustable ring light improves appearance in dim rooms
- AI auto-framing keeps you centered in the frame during calls
Limitations
- Software companion app lacks polish compared to OBSBOT or Elgato
- Build quality feels budget — lightweight plastic construction
- Ring light can produce visible reflections in glasses
