Elgato Facecam MK.2 Elevates Webcam Quality for Streamers

The newly released Elgato Facecam MK.2 offers DSLR-like image quality and a host of features ideal for live streaming, at a mid-range price point.

The Elgato Facecam MK.2, priced at $149.99, is a mid-range webcam that stands out for its DSLR-like image quality, making it a significant upgrade from its predecessor.
It features full HD 60fps, HDR-enabled imaging, a built-in privacy shutter, and a compact design, catering to the needs of streamers and content creators.
The webcam employs a high-powered Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor, ensuring clear and true-to-life footage even in poorly lit conditions.
Elgato's Camera Hub software allows for extensive customization of the webcam's settings, enhancing the video quality further.
Despite its improvements and features, the MK.2 requires an Nvidia RTX 2060 or better for certain effects, and lacks auto-focus, relying instead on a fixed focus system.
