I guess we have to see if I have to swallow my words once we see what it can actually do, or what else they are about to release. But the product on itself, a basic camera for 70 dollars, don't see anything great in that. Yes it's good that there is some serious competition in this market, since Logitech is not challenged to improve anymore.

Why not come with a decently price windows hello camera? Why go for the standards of 2012? If you need a high-quality webcam, Logitech's Brio has it all, with 4K resolution, stellar sound quality, and support for Windows Hello biometric face login. Since Microsoft builds the OS and Windows Hello with that, they shown it off at nearly all their surface devices.

And fill up the gap between with another product they have laying on the shelf by now. If Logitech sees this as an actual contestant it will drop it price to the same or below at which both Logitech is again the better option. I know Microsoft is relatively new in the hardware scene and don't want to take a too big chunk away from their customers (pc builders/manufacturers), but coming with a product which is par to a 9 year old product. We'd like to see a higher-performance model with a 4K resolution or a built-in ring light, but for now, it's good to see Microsoft catching up to the competition.ĭon't want to sound pessimistic, but how is this a great step? Here in the Netherlands the 920 is for sale since January 2012. The specs for the Modern Webcam are only on a par with Logitech's most popular model, but maybe that's all that's needed. Of course, it's far too early to comment on the Modern Webcam's quality, but it's about time that Microsoft had a webcam capable of streaming at 1080p. It's also certified for Microsoft Teams, and comes with a 1-year hardware warranty and a 30-day return window.

The Modern Webcam will be compatible with both Windows and MacOS, though it appears that some software functions will only work with PCs.Īs Microsoft looks to give it the broadest appeal, the Modern Webcam has a USB-A connector, rather than USB-C while this means that you'll need a USB-C hub with newer laptops, those with older PCs shouldn't have any trouble. Another feature called True Look presumably incorporates all three of these, so you can look your best on those endless Zoom meetings. Other features in the Modern Webcam include auto white balance (to account for overhead lighting), auto light adjustment, and facial retouch. Microsoft Modern Webcam: Special features Those specs match up almost identically with the Logitech C920 and the Logitech C920s, though it looks like Microsoft's webcam has just one microphone, to the C920's two. An integrated privacy shutter lets you block the camera's view, though it doesn't also turn off the microphone. It also has a 78-degree field of view, and HDR to better account for varied lighting conditions. The camera can record at up to 60 fps, but will only be able to transmit at a max of 30 fps.
