Picture Perfect: My Elgato Facecam MK.2 Impressions

This is my review of the Elgato Facecam MK.2 that was sent to me by ‪@elgato‬ as a member of their Ambassador Program earlier this week! A solid upgrade if you're in the market for a new Webcam!

Thanks for the recommendation here. Thinking of upgrading my cam and this seems worth the price 🙏

[@GreyFoxxable]

I like the break down and will be adding this to the shopping list and will recommend it too my streaming buddies!

[@sabetheblade]

welp time for me to upgrade 😇 had my mk1 for awhile and it's been the best thing i gotten

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

[@danfinitygg]

I wish I could tell you more definitively, but I don't have the Brio 4K. If you are looking for 4K options, I'm sure it's fine. Elgato also has the Facecam Pro. Found this site that can help you compare the two: versus.com/en/elgato-facecam-pro-vs-logitech-brio

The little screen in the background looks glitchy. That's because of the HDR. I recommend to switch the webcam SDR or turn off the little screen. 🌈

The Tidbyt in the background had the same issue with the previous camera. Thanks for the rec!

[@peternapoliello2490]

Great tutorial however I saw a review claiming the quality suffers on a Mac. Also it won’t work with USB hubs or extension cables? Any truth here?

[@danfinitygg]

As I work with PC I can't speak to any Mac issues for the device. I plugged it directly into my computer and don't use USB hubs, as well. I wish I could tell you without speculation. I'm sorry, man!

I have just brought a neo, what would be the benefit of upgrading to a mk2? Im a newbie. thanks for the video loved it. eye tracking? i did not know this, I have the teleprompter so I suppose I do not need it?

[@danfinitygg]

From what I'm finding in comparison is the only major difference is that the Neo Cam has Autofocus (not a favorite feature personally) and MK 2 has can cater to more Lowlight.I know the Neo Cam was made for more entry level Content Creation or for folk who just needed a lower budget cam for Zoom, etc. Honestly, use what you got, shouldn't be a real need to upgrade unless you were going to bump up to the 4K model. The AI eye contact thing kind of wigs me out honestly, and if you have the prompter you shouldn't need to fake the connection. Sounds like you got a pretty good set up to make stuff with man!
