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.

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.

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. 😂
