Elgato Facecam MK.2 Review

Good video quality ; Strong low-light performance

Expensive ; No microphone ; Resource-intensive companion app

The Elgato Facecam MK.2 costs less than its predecessor but remains a mediocre webcam overall because of its clunky software and lack of a microphone.

Elgato Facecam Mk. 2 review: Superb, but it still can’t hear you

Elgato Facecam Mk. 2 is a top-notch 1080p, 60Hz webcam that ships with excellent utility software that adds to its value. Only the omission of an integrated mic really hurts it.

Elgato Facecam MK.2 Review: Uncompressed 1080p/60fps video, HDR, and a lot of plastic

It's better than the old Facecam, but there are other options.

Settings save directly to webcam ; Lightweight ; Built-in privacy shutter ; Good software

HDR is underwhelming ; Bulky plastic chassis looks and feels a little cheap ; Expensive for what it is

The Facecam MK.2 is a relatively budget-friendly option for those who need 1080p/60fps video, but if you can live with 1080p/30fps there are better options.

Elgato Facecam MK.2 Review

The Elgato Facecam MK.2, as the name suggests, is the brand's second-generation webcam designed for streaming and content creation.

Smooth 1080p/60fps output in well-lit environments ; Easy to mount ; Clever software with Nvidia AI integration

Noisy low light output by default ; Lacks a microphone

The Elgato Facecam MK.2 is an excellent webcam for streaming. It offers smooth output with good detail in well-lit conditions, as well as some convenient mounting and clever software. Its low light output may not be the best, but this is a solid webcam...
