[@knightsljx]

I'm kind of blown away by the Aukey, the image quality is very decent but the true surprise is how good the built-in microphone is. Not crystal clear but clear and not muffled, I would use it in a pinch where I can't set up a dedicated mic for whatever reason.

[@barrygillis]

Yeah, ordering one even if its just for the mic, and i like the wider angle option. They seem even cheaper where i live so i just want to see if its any improvement over the c925

[@luisvazquez1361]

Surprisingly, the cheaper ones looked the best imo

[@airsupermark]

And sounded better

[@pedrockc]

IMO the Sansisco FHD looked better and sounded the best

[@nemuop-]

Aukey seems good to me

[@Willie-8A]

@@pedrockc And you can't even buy it anymore. But was hands down the best.

[@greaseTalk]

Yeah cuz they have something to prove LUIS

[@ahmadfairuzi3646]

It was really helpful for me that you showed how each camera looked and sounded, thank you!

[@creepy-kitty]

If you're on a budget fifine microphones are easy to set up use and the sounds really decent. Pair that with the aukey and should be so crisp-

[@imstewlol]

id recommend the fifine K669B microphone combined with the aukey lm1e camera as its definitely the best budget camera and microphone out there for being so good.

[@lvleye316]

In my opinion the aukey also had the best mic quality too.

[@quoatz184]

Was that the mic of the sansisco webcam? Cause that sounded better then my actual microphone😭

[@theTeslaFalcon]

That was also my preferred image. Notice the UV spot under Kramer?

[@vl2663]

I hope it was. I ordered that webcam today. Idk how that wasn't higher on the list. It seems to have good audio, video quality, and it comes with the ringlights and a small tripod. They have a coupon for it rn so I got it for $26 total. Not bad at all.

Great review!!! Thank you for sharing and I appreciate how you edited this. I was looking to get a webcam/mic combo unit and was about to get one of the ones on your list until I realized the mic quality is not good. I have a good webcam already. I was in the market for a new one for a mic (rather than using the one on my laptop. Thanks again.

[@thenaturalgemini]

Great comparison. Its great to know you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to get a nice webcam. Despite the rankings they all look better than my built in PC camera 😂.

[@floralpoboop]

Worst to best, price not factored but mic is kinda: 1.Vitade Stream - auto brightness issues, big loss on fps, bitrate issues, artifacts, auto focus issues, ok mic 2.Tecgear Sentinel - lens seems concave heavy image distortion,aspect ratio seems off, terrible mic 3.Larmtek W5 - image distortion, blur, can't handle lights well, bad mic 4.Suirui Full HD (New) - Really burly for things in motion, issues with coloring of lights and focus seems off - terrible mic 5.eMeet C960 - terrible color issues at night, terrible mic everything lower than this is a flop. 6.Depstech 4K - bad can't keep contrast correct, color issues, blur at night, bad mic 7.NexiGo N660 Pro - not exactly 60 fps, has color issues, terrible mic 8.Logitech C920 - microstutters, color issues, ok mic 9.Aukey LM1E - minor image distortion in field of view but this is by design as a wide frame and isn't terribly noticeable- good mic 10.Suirui Full HD - blury a little - good mic 11.Sansisco FHD - autofocus issues and darker than most at night but good contrast, good mic Most of the camera's here are bad, if you value image quality over audio but still factor it in a little than this is what your list should look like. Image distortion is very important to me. No I didn't account for price to performance, just performance based off your video footage, and no I don't consider logictechs as good always because brand name. It is the most bought one out of these as brand names as many brands can't escape from bad to bad to good to good and logitechs can be bought everywhere so brand identity is well known. I have bought a lot of bad logitech products, but I had also bought a lot of bad razer products too so yeah. I also do not like image distortion the most. If the image starts off as bad things like rotating RGB does not bother me anywhere near as bad. If it looks like a slide show how ever this is the one exception which is why vitade stream is placed so terribly and image distortion drives me nuts but slide shows are for power point not anything else. Mic's should be taken considered as many use cases are not yours.

[@trattogatto]

I agree exactly on the first 4, Sansisco is overall good, Suirui little less, and Aukey is good if we consider the wide angle. I ignore the microphone because an external one is must have. I pay attention especially on the noise in the dark scenes. Low noise = good sensor.

[@banagan4604]

Nice, the Aukey was my favorite. Just picked one up for $23 here in Thailand.

[@LazyLarry4203]

Shorty and straight to the point for each one, great video

[@XannyPL]

[@keihan5]

I did like the original Suirui, also. The microphone on it also sounded much better than most but I , also, use a dedicated mic, so not an issue for me.

My room is small with shitty lighting and I'm gonna be sitting in a corner of my room when I do the zoom meetings so the ringlight of this webcam should be useful.

I just bought a few webcams for use with Zoom in a fast ryzen 7 PC w/ win 11 pro for videoconferencing mostly, they were in the under $99 category, closer to $100 than closer to $50. All of them were truly a disappointing experience, mostly regarding video quality. Then I got EL gato facecam 1080p(doesn't come with mic built-in) and Logitech Brio 4K ultra webcams and they both were up to my liking(90%) regarding video quality. I was getting so close to end buying a Sony ZV-1F Vlog Camera or a Sony ZV-1 Digital Camera just for a webcam use if those under $200 webcams didn't fulfill my requirements. Optics are optics...I have a 5 year old Lumix mirrorless camera that paid $900 for it and sadly is not supported by Panasonic software to be used as a Webcam. You get what you pay for. You want quality, then be ready to spend some big bucks for it.

[@NicheTVHD]

I believe that Panasonic offers a Clean HDMI Output. You can use an HDMI to USB device to make it become a Webcam :)
