This camera is AMAZING!

I've been using a mirrorless camera for years as my primary streaming webcam. When I got his camera, I was not only amazed by the incredible quality of the video, but by how easy this is to set up over the mirrorless camera. No need for an extra capture card or confusing settings. You can use this right out of the box in your streaming software and get amazing results! But, when you add in the Elgato Camera Hub software, the sky is the limit with LUTs and filters and even face tracking. I especially love that this camera works with 49mm threaded lenses as I was able to set it up with my Elgato Prompter in minutes! DSLR (and better) quality for a VERY reasonable price and easy setup=another huge W for Elgato!
The FACECAM 4K is small but mighty, delivering quality that rivals true DSLR cameras with a simple plug and play design backed by great software for additional customization to your liking. It's really neat to see the option to add threaded filters to the physical camera itself!
Its crazy how good this is! Its a show stopper to look at physically and a dream to get set up and running! At this price point its slams anything i have owned previously. My TikTok stream has never looked this good.
This camera is a game changer. It is super easy to use and improved the quality of my stream massively. I show a lot of cards on the channel and you can actually read the text!
Easily one of the best webcams I've owned. The image quality from this camera is amazing. I'm particularly impressed by the low-light capability, my space has little natural light, and this camera does an excellent job at capturing a good image. The option for lens filters is a nice addition. I can see this coming in useful for LEGO building or miniature painting streams, with the use of a magnifying filter.
I do a lot of video effects on my stream, and thus rely a lot on video quality. The Facecam 4k is a great secondary cam for my stream, and I'd be happy to recommend it for many streamers as their primary camera.
Do know that out of the box, it may not look great due to its smaller aperture and more "raw" colors. This camera does require descent lighting to get the most out of it, and benefits greatly from some attention in OBS to color correction. But once you get things dialed in, it is a solid web cam.
A great addition is the support of 49mm camera filters. This allows for everything from practical effects, to zoom or wide angle threaded lens attachments, giving more flexibility than most webcams for creative control.
I got the 4k Facecam when it came out, and I was genuinely SHOCKED!! It looks just as good as my DSLR camera I use. If you’re looking to up the quality of your stream without breaking the bank, this is a MUST!
