Here's what I think about the Elgato Facecam Mk 2... I just ordered one. Thanks!

I correctly guessed OBSBot Tiny 2 as the most expensive, but I thought the FaceCam 2 was second most expensive, definitely did not think it was the cheapest!

As a recent elgato facecam pro user, I would like to say for a gaming setup, I think it is plenty enough camera for most those situations. The zv-e10 would be like a next step up, or a great camera for a secondary camera for close ups and different angles. Or at least that's how I would use them. But this comparison was enough to realize that for about another year or so, I have a great camera for stream.

Definitely the new Elgato, the blue in your sweatshirt was actually blue. lol

-flips table- and JUST when i bought the facecam pro.

7:00 Harris just gave us his Big Brain moment when mentioning his forehead 🤣🤣🤣

Great video! MK2's going to be my next webcam. Hopefully my old one holds up so I can have two at once! If you get a spike at 9:06 it's because I was looking for the single frame where the beanie model flashes before A-reel covers it and crops-to-reveal. 😂

So waiting for the Facecam Pro Mk2?

I wouldn't call a 150 dollar webcam a budget model.

amazing video dude, i didnt even know they made a second version, keep up the work!

Facecam MK1 is a lot more flattering without screwing with a LUT. Everyone is hot pink on the MK2 and Pro

The big question is how much light do each of the pro and non pro cameras need to produce quality images. Having a facecam 1.0 it feels like you need to have a ton of light to get high quality output.

When you had all 4 cams running at the same time, I genuinely thought the FaceCam Mk 2 looked the best. That's impressive to me.

I just got the email from Egato announcing this, and I said to myself "I bet Harris already has a review video posted." Sure enough... 🤣

The mk2 is soooo good fr ! Im imptessed that they even made it better than their own pro 4k60 webcam !

I got the original Facecam when it launched. I personally had nothing but issues with the software and it often demanded too much USB power, I believe. Went back to my c920 after struggling for a few weeks.

"No webcam has ever had good sounding audio" Straight up based fact.

One thing I noticed, especially between the Elgato Facecam vs the Sony ZV-E10 is a fraction of a second lag behind the audio on the Elgato. If I look at only the Elgato, I hardly notice the audio not quite synching up with your mouth, but I notice it compared to the Sony.

7:23 never tested the Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra how it seems 😉

Your zv-e10 comaprison is not fair. I see that you're using the usb streaming feature that it offers. However it's only 720p and has a lot of latency. Using the hdmi output from the camera would give you results that would blow the elgato out of the water. I have the zv-e10 and use it with a camlink (not even camlink 4k, the og 1080p one) and the video looks outstanding. So you showed a 720p example even though the camera is able to output a 4k signal and if paired with a camlink 4k this wouldn't even be a competition. That said, this kit is like 5 times more expensive so it's completely undestandable. But if you get something like an a5100 and a camlink that's a $300 combo that I would take over any of the options mentioned in this video.

I had no idea Elgato was releasing a new Facecam. Interesting.

If this can be mounted on an arm that is constantly moving, have the lens point downwards, and can accommodate a 10’-15’ cable…it’s perfect! Trying to replace an iPhone SE2.

Hey harris something im curious about i would love to see a video on is wireless webcams for streams on the go. things like the logitech mevo not sure if there is even other ones

I purchased an Elgato Facecam around 2 years ago and will never buy another one from Elgato. No matter what lighting or settings I use, the quality always looks like poop.

Thanks very much for sharing this awesome review, Senpai. Now I'm wondering if I should hold out for a possible Facecam Pro Mk2. If Elgato just updated their 1080p webcam wouldn't they come out with a new 4K model that has the same improved specs as it's 1080p version?

2:27 that white and black JP in the background is 🔥

This video was fascinating because it showed how much Elgato has improved their webcam quality and features with the FaceCam Mark 2. I learned a lot from this video about the differences between the Mark 1 and the Mark 2, as well as how they compare to other webcams and cameras on the market. The HDR, dynamic range, color accuracy, and uncompressed image are all impressive for a $150 webcam. Did you know that the name Elgato means “the cat” in Spanish? Another interesting thing to note is that the company was originally founded in Germany in 1992 and focused on making video editing software and hardware. It was not until 2012 that they entered the gaming industry with their first capture card, the Game Capture HD. Since then, they have become one of the leading brands for streaming and content creation accessories. I think Elgato has done a great job with the FaceCam Mark 2 and I’m tempted to get one for myself. I also appreciate that they removed the unnecessary stuff like the microphone and the autofocus, and focused on making a simple and effective webcam. The only thing I wish they had was a cat logo on the webcam, because that would be purr-fect. 😂

Did u add any color filters with the new webcam ? The colors on that camera looks so nice

Thanks for this awesome comparison video.😊👍

personally i do appreciate auto focus as being someone who does occasional collectible and unbox videos. for that im still using c922 as a secondary cam. and i use the original elgato facecam as my primary.

Oh wow, thats quite amazing. at first I was like ew.. that sucks.. then you said 1st gen, Then you turnedon that Mk2!! DAMNN

crazy cuz i bought a mk. 1 like 2 months ago RIP

I was way off, I voted: 2, 4, 3, 1. But that speaks to just how good the Elgato Facecam 2 is. 1 is turribule.

Very good but I still like the Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra quality better. It is still about 249-299 dollars though but gives 4K video and gives natural bokeh effect with the big lense. :) And the winner thing for me is that it can be customized much and the low light quality is stunning.

Not gonna lie, this was a great example of answers I wanted answered. Great review! 👍🏼

150 bucks is NOT budget. That is firmly premium tier, and one I'd frankly never spend on. Standard webcams costing over 50 bucks are pointless. If you just want to show your face, use an ACTUALLY budget webcam, and if you're serious, get a proper camera and a Cam Link, it'll blow any "premium webcam" out of the water in every aspect

The way you literaly sold me on just the switch from the old one is great.

One thing I’m shocked you didn’t go over was the low light. Elgato’s website/email said this one had improved low light, I’m not expecting magic, but I was curious to see it perform in low light.

They have de FC Pro, but i want the Facecam Ultra have a much bigger sensor (Full frame if it is possible), and to be swappable lens, made by Elgato specific for the facecam, and other manufacturers.

Thanks....Now I have a reason to give my original facecam to one of my sons and buy this one.

I'm enjoying the facecam pro after loving your video from last year

Crazy! $150 vs $2000+ and the only apparent difference is background blur!

8:24 - that’s the decider. For $149, it can get ~85% to a mirrorless with full kit that costs $1000. If you have the cash, get the mirrorless, if not get the new camera. If you have time wait for the 4K version of it in the $300 range.

7:19 I like this one

Thanks! Just ordered! 😍

The comparisons would've been more fair if the other cameras were set correctly - most of them were pretty damn overexposed. The FaceCam Mk 2 looks pretty good (especially compared to the C920 or laptop webcams we were all running back in 2020) but it still just looks like a webcam.

Yes, I got it, because of the red patches on the face, that's the issue I have had more than any other issue with every webcam I've tried, even the 4k ones. I've found my old T3i is even far superior to any webcam.

it looks fantastic I just bought it. I'll use the original one as a hand cam. I will say I do see some grain, but I think that can be fixed with messing with the ISO. everyone has a different l lighting set up but for me I have 2 elgato key lights so I always have my ISO at the lowest it can go which is 100%. can't wait to get this and see the HDR in action. 😊

thank you, I will be buying this webcam. and you have just saved me £300. You are a legend bro

Solid conparison. Think i might be sold on getting a new webcam finally. All the things you actually need, none of the useless features you don't.

I just bought the first elgato webcam, I hate my luck

bro i was legit saying how camera number 2 looks so nice and probably the expensive one. didn't realise it was legit the elgato facecam mk 2

The added sharpness on the default settings is way too much, making the final image quality severely worse IMO. Hopefully that's something that can be changed in elgatos software, otherwise it would be a weird feature dampening the quality of what seems to be a good product

I was literally just looking for a new webcam a few days ago. Glad I waited a bit. Definitely buying the mk2, thanks Heller! 🤘🥳👍

Love the video! Which background tracks were used in this video? Are they all from Streambeats?

def looking forward to potentially buying this cam really nice

let's just ignore the terrible noise on the mk2.... I really wonder what he did with the ZV-E10, it looked like bad 720p. I've seen dozens of videos of the E10 and it never looked nearly as bad as hear. In fact it can look almost on par to way more expensive cams. Hmmm, something feels off here

Can't wait to buy it for a fraction of the price used someday

Honestly, the Elgato is remarkably sharp and detailed even compared to the Sony.

Oh snap new FaceCam 🥹

Definitely thinking about picking this up!

Okay, I worked out the most expensive one would be the one I liked best. My second favourite was the Facecam 2 though, which is impressive for the cheapest option...

Great content as always Harris!

yo bro your videos are super helpful. cheers for that and i bought Elgato facecam after watching your video xD

There is a load of noise inside your blue jumper

the mk2 has a lot of static noise, you can see it all over your sweatshirt. Maybe with tweaking the settings that would go away. Would love a video on setting it up with some settings. I know you did one before, but a refresh with the new webcam and elgato software would be cool.

Thank the algorithm. I just barely managed to return the facecam mk1 i bought on amazon and grabbed this for only 20€ more. 🙏

For the price it’s a no brainer.

I've been thinking about the Facecam since it came out, then the Facecam Pro. I think this might be the one. It looks a lot pinker/redder than I'd like but I'm sure that can be adjusted

There were far more appropriate comparisons he could have done - the Razer Kiyo Pro is a similar spec camera, which Amazon UK currently has for half the price of the Facecam mk 2 - I would have been far more interested in seeing a side by side of those two cameras than the webcams/cameras he chose - especially when it comes to the noise the Facecam was producing.

am i the only one that saw a clear difference from the cameras at 8:33? personally, it definitley looked way better with the lens on the sony. like FAR better clarity

This is exactly what i was waiting for... a revised FaceCam. I almost pulled the trigger on the first gen, but I decided I couldn't live downsides...

9:10 - I don’t subscribe to people I randomly see a video of. They need to show up their own a few times and earn the spot, otherwise, I’ll be watching 100k+ KZfaqrs. Having said that, you managed to keep my ADHD brain focused on you the whole video, and I only stopped once to share your link with a friend. I also bothered to leave a few comments whilst watching. You are the real deal, you’ve earned the subscribe privilege, goes to show how much effort you put into your work. 🐕

elgato facecam mk 2 vs streamcam 😎😎

1 and 4 were my picks, damn nice product

Nothing better than seeing a new video before leaving for work 🎉

No mention of the noisy image over your jumper/top? Huge downside to the Mk2 or that price point in general.

Great image clarity but it adds a bit of saturation. The pink in your face and the extra blue in the shirt is a bit .uch for me. If theres a saturation setting then its probably perfect.

Wow! You're right! It's the perfect budget webcam! Amazed by the quality! Thanks!

The Mk2 looked clearer than pretty much all of them on face details. Even the facecam pro didnt look much different.

I'm currently using the Sony EV10 with the sigma 16mm and this is very temping to get. I'm only using my camera for zoom and LMS videos. I've got it hooked up the elgato prompter, so getting my camera out to use it is way too much hastle. I could use this and then have my sony to use as an actual camera.

the problem i had with the first elgato webcam is that i could not use it for streaming it would freeze everything making vids was a maybe so it is had to believe that the mk 2 is gonna be any different

Ok fine! You sold me! I bought it... Damn you!

Could you compare it with the Logitech MX Brio? Great video as always!

I like #3 personally, but I know most folks dont want so much of the background in their video.

Pretty surprised by the quality of the mk2. Would be a phenomenal second camera or backup camera for a mirrorless.

Now I just need to decide on the the most effective way to share a webcam between 2 PCs so I don't have to also do work meetings on my Stream PC.

Great video as always

I was actually super surprised by that price reveal, I was looking at the top right thinking dang that one looks awesome its gotta be the expensive one and man was I wrong.

My question would be, when comparing to the mirrorless camera, which blue is the actual color of the sweathirt? They are slightly different, and when I'm streaming on Twitch, color accuracy is extremely important.

Not gonna lie. I do not know if it is just coloring or something, but on Elgato Facecam Pro compared to the MK 2, your face has almost yellow/green tint on the edges of your beard. For me Facecam MK2 looked better, but that might be just a micro issue when you were putting them together and there was some messed tint settings.

I didn’t even know the Mk 2 was coming out. Almost makes me wanna sell my Facecam and buy the Mk 2when it comes out

So just out of curiosity... the color of your hoodie looks slightly different in each camera view... which one was closest to what you see in the mirror? :) I'm assuming the Sony, but I'm interested in your input.

I wonder which color this sweeter actually has. Looked different in every single shot.

I'll wait for 4k

I was actually super surprised by that price reveal, I was looking at the top right of the screen thinking man that one looks good and has a decent coverage of the room, that has to be the most or 2nd most expensive one......boy was i wrong

Woah! (Keanu Reeves voice} That is a damn good camera for $150. Contemplating...

Hi, wich webcam u think is better? The logitech brío 4K or this new ELGATO facecam2? I use a green screen and a el gato key light as my ilumination. Thanks and i love your Content

content creators will always use mirrorless cameras, even if this x webcam looks really good. imo the brio 4k is a lot better overall
