[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After testing the Facecam 4K in a series of different situations, this is THE webcam to beat. The output from this is very impressive, and the ability to add lens filters is next-level. Elgato continues to innovate, and the Facecam 4K is a testament to this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you already have great lighting at your setup, this camera is a great addition! I was actually surprised by how crispy the picture quality was. If you’re looking for the mobility of a webcam with DSLR-like quality, this is definitely a fantastic blend.

When a Webcam Rivals a DSLR
on September 23, 2025

After five years of working with a DSLR, I’ve finally found a webcam that doesn’t feel like a downgrade. The Elgato Facecam 4K comes astonishingly close to matching a DSLR’s quality; so much so that when I showed someone photos between the Facecam 4K and my Sony DSLR, they picked the Facecam. That tells you how impressive this thing is.
Here’s what makes it stand out (and a couple of small caveats), based on my experience + what Elgato provides.
1. The visual fidelity is excellent. Resolution, sharpness, motion handling, it’s all very, very good. The clarity and frame rate mean smooth motion without the stutter or blur that many webcams have. This helps a lot when doing movement, gesturing, or just general live video work.
2. DSLR-like control via Elgato Camera Hub. What sells it is the software. Manual exposure, shutter speed, ISO, you get real control. Hot tip: once you dial in lighting, white balance, contrast etc., the images look “pro” without a lot of post-processing.
3. Lighting still matters. Even the best sensor and software can’t fully compensate for poor lighting. With low light, noise can creep in; highlights may clip. If you pair this with good lighting, though, it shines. My DSLR still has an advantage in very low-light or heavily cinematic lighting scenarios (wide apertures, specialized lenses, etc.).
4. Software/Hardware demands. To get the most out of the features (e.g. background effects, AI-green screen, etc.), certain GPU or driver requirements (on the PC side) are needed. Also, you’ll want a decent USB-C port / USB 3.0 for best data throughput and minimal latency.
Bottom Line:
If you’ve been using a DSLR for a while and are looking for something simpler for streaming, meetings, video content, etc., that doesn’t feel like a “webcam compromise,” the Elgato Facecam 4K is probably the closest you’ll get without swapping lenses, sensor sizes, etc. The combination of build, control, image quality, and software makes it an outstanding choice for creators who care.
Unless you really need ultra shallow depth of field, specialized glass, or the full flexibility of a mirrorless/DSLR system, this webcam delivers more than enough. Great purchase.

4K quality at a fraction of the price!
on September 23, 2025
Posted by: OmnicientWolf
The Facecam 4K has provided nothing short of a great quality picture! Whether it's in 4K, or even at lower resolutions like 1440p and 1080p, streaming and recording content has been a joy. Also, being the first webcam to be compatible with lenses is great, which has allowed for some additional experimentation. Really enjoying the black mist filter at the moment!

Infinite looks for a SINGLE Webcam!
on September 23, 2025
Posted by: Darkened Cyrus
The Facecam 4k is AMAZING. You mean you can add NEW glass and change the entire look without buying a new webcam? Not only is the quality of the camera amazing for 4k, the software support with vertical and horizontal denoise means that you can fine tune the image to match the shooting location especially if you are shooting in low light.
If you are wanting a premium webcam that can be upgraded down the line, this is the one to buy!

Great looking Webcam

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Facecam 4K has become my go-to webcam for live streaming.
Facecam 4K is a 4K 60fps webcam. It's nice to have 60fps at 4K resolution.
I personally prefer 60fps for video, so that's a nice touch.

The great thing about webcams is that they’re plug-and-play, and the Facecam 4K really nails that!
It has built-in flash memory, so it keeps your settings saved. That saves a lot of time once you've dialed it in using Camera Hub.
I barely had to adjust the picture. Elgato did a really great job making it look good right out of the box.
The biggest thing to note about this webcam is that it needs good lighting. With an aperture of f/4.0, it’s important to have solid lighting. Using a fill light and a key light helps a lot. Once your lighting is set up and you're using the correct ISO settings, it works great.
Facecam 4K supports 49mm lens filters, which can help you achieve a specific look or style for your image.
Facecam 4K is personally my favorite webcam. I get super accurate colors and a great image.
Can't go wrong with this webcam.
I would recommend this to a friend!
