I got a some important job interviews over Zoom coming up, and the webcam on my laptop just didn't cut it I bought a cheaper webcam for half the price a while back to teach workshop and ended up never using it because the fish-lens effect was horrible.After reading so many reviews, I decided to take a chance on this webcam for the upcoming job interviews. So glad I did. Excellent quality, the downloaded app (Logitech Camera Settings) from Logitech website worked great on my Windows 10. No problem at all with installation. The app allows me to change focus, color saturation, light easily. There is no fish-lens effect (none that I could detect with a flat wall as my background.)It was a great investment, using this webcam, and a ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi made it totally worry-free technology-wise during these very stressful interviews.It sits fairly stable on the laptop, but I did tape it down out of caution as I didn't now want it accidentally fall off during the interview, though I don't think it was necessary.I usually prop up my laptop on a stand to more eye-level camera view, but because the way it sits on the laptop, I didn't even have to put it higher, it makes perfect height for Zooming.This webcam also came with a slide-on lens cover that can be either flip open or slide off.This webcam works great, simply plug into the USB port and it works immediately. Works fantastically over Zoom.The only thing is sometimes the auto focus doesn't kick in immediately, but no problem, I could easily adjust it on the app.Highly recommend this if you Zoom a lot and needs a more professional look camera.

I have run extensive tests on this camera over the last several months and I must say I’m very impressed with the performance.Personally I have been working with security camera products for over 15 years - over that time I have installed systems for businesses, corporations and individuals - from large systems to single camera nursery monitors. I work with a group of security professionals and we regularly consult on large corporate projects and write about security vulnerabilities within networks for trade publications.This is a field I know well - I understand what to look for in quality cameras and the places manufacturers tend to try to save money on which makes an inferior product.Over the years the security camera technology has vastly improved becoming less and less expensive to produce. It is now practical to install residential security systems that would have only previously been used in commercial settings.This is advice any professional security analyst will provide and what we tell everyone of our clients. If you are new to home security camera systems, we recommend going with wired (non-WiFi), NVR or computer based recorders run with systems such as Blue Iris. This type of system is infinitely more secure and stable. While initial setup costs are a bit more the security it affords is worth every penny. It always pays to research the products, discuss them with those in the field, understand vulnerabilities and PLAN YOUR SYSTEM PRIOR TO PURCHASING ANYTHING. If you are at all tech savvy at all you can do it. While there is a bit of a learning curve it is not awful and in the end you will be thankful for the time you spent in the beginning as it will save you time, money and endless frustration.I have set up, tested and reviewed more security systems and individual products than I can possibly remember. Without question my go to solution for home security solutions is a computer based, Blue Iris system with PoE cameras run off of quality PoE switches. This type of system is not only easy to operate but is highly secure.While this camera is not natively a PoE camera I’m happy to share the 5 Pairs Passive PoE Injector and PoE Splitter Kit with 5.5x2.1 mm DC Connector RJ45 Power Over Ethernet by Exgoofit ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F82YK6P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) allow for this camera to operate almost identical to a PoE camera. The power adapter must be plugged in where the Ethernet cable is plugged in with the first pigtail adapter while the second adapter plugs onto the cameras power port and Ethernet jack. By utilizing this you can avoid the security concerns associated with WiFi cameras and still only have minimal wires run to the camera.As with any component there are a host of factors to consider. In terms of cameras more megapixels is not always better. For instance 2MP cameras often perform better in low light while 5MP will allow for more detail when lighting is good. This camera is 2MP which is ideal for the vast majority of installation situations.Highlights of this camera include:Awesome Pan Tilt Zoom - Utilizing a 110° wide-angle varifocal lens and the head rotating 355° horizontally and 90° vertically, a 360° view is easily obtained. This makes this camera an outstanding choice to be placed on a corner of an eave where it can constantly monitor the largest possible area.3.6mm Board lens - in my tests over the last couple of months I have been fairly impressed with the performance of this Fixed Focus 6mm lens coupled with the 1/2.8" Sony IMX307 CMOS with ICR image sensor. While this will not allow for near as clear zooming as a varifocal lens it is adequate in most circumstances.Low Light Capability - this lens is decent in low light. Images are ok at low light, far better than the vast majority of similar cameras in this price range. IR lighting is dependable and nighttime / low light images are better than expected. My tests showed accurate images within 75’ of the IR lighting. By using both 4 IR lights and 4 bright LED lights this allows the camera to capture more details than many of the others on the market.ONVIF Compatibility - critical for using with software such as Blue Iris. I have set it up with advanced features such as Patrol and Watchdog utilizing multiple detection zones.2 Way Audio - I have had no issues utilizing the 2 way audio through Blue Iris - sound is accurate, clear and minimal lag.Video Compression - This camera utilizes Smart 265/Smart 264/M-JPEG compression allowing for the smallest file sizes while maintaining the highest quality.Great build quality - this camera is well built and will hold up outside in all conditions. That being said this is not a small camera in any way.Over the course of my testing this product for the last several months I’ve been thoroughly impressed. It loads into Blue Iris without any issue and advanced features work without any trouble. By using the PoE splitter kit (referenced above) you can easily make this a secure camera by avoiding the use of WiFi. Build quality is excellent - this is made to last and hold up even in severe conditions.This is a product I would definitely recommend. While this is the first ENSTER camera I have reviewed I look forward to seeing other cameras they create. All indications point to this being a manufacturer that builds high quality security cameras that are dependable and made to last.

I don't know what to say about this product, other than I really love it! We find ourselves at Disneyland and Universal Studios pretty often, and being able to just holster the camera on my shoulder has made walking around with the camera so much easier. I have never been a fan of hanging the heavy camera around my neck, so I'd been looking for a better option that this.The setup for this is really easy, and it easily fit around all of my back pack straps. Once installed it is on there very secure. I have hung my D750 on it with a 24-70 f/2.8 lens which is pretty heavy, and it hasn't budged once. It is really easy to lock the camera on, and then to remove it quickly when you're ready to shoot.When I first purchased this I did think it was a bit expensive, but after getting it and realizing how great the build quality was really changed my opinion on it. I think it is worth every penny I paid for it, since it has kept my camera safely holstered on my shoulder with no issue.

I used this camera to video underwater wildlife on my trip to Belize. The camera’s buttons worked very well but the case did not stay perfectly water tight. Some moisture made it on to the lens inside and distorted some of the video. This was also after being underwater for 4 hours. The video that I did get was very good. After I got home from my trip I used it to video rides on my motorcycle. The first few rides I was able to obtain some very good video at 4K and 60fps. I was really quite impressed. Unfortunately the mounting hardware snapped and the camera flew off while I was on the freeway. I assume it was due to the vibrations as it was attached to the motorcycle itself. It was secured very well but the black plastic mount that connects to the camera’s water tight case snapped and I have lost it forever. Overall I really enjoyed it while I had it. I would suggest securing it with some sort of backup if using it on a motorcycle.

I did lots of research before buying a camera. Read lots of reviews and one conclusion I had was that no matter which entry level DSLR camera, one can't go wrong, since all have 4+ stars reviews.I bought this one, who is supposedly one of the lower level DSLR. But I can tell you it takes wonderful pictures, even if you don't have lots of experience with cameras. Without even looking to the manual, I took nice shots right away, that impressed my friends and family.So far have use it for portraits of my little ones and landscape. I also got a Telephoto Lens, although haven't use it yet (haven't had the need).After reading reviews, I thought in buying an extra Flash, but the built-in with the camera is really good. At least far better than the one you find in a regular digital camera (non-DSLR).

The camera is exactly as advertised, 1080p, which is most likely better than your integrated laptop camera. It seats nicely on top of any monitor with a pronounced bezel but on my large curved monitor it has a bit more trouble being stable not a big issue though. It's stand is proprietary but it is nice and blocky enough to allow just placing it on a desk if you so please. The lens cover is a nice little inclusion to save 5 or so dollars. It both protects the lens and gives you some privacy if you leave it plugged in when not in use. Now the problems, the included microphone is pretty bad, I'd suggest getting a smaller external mic for a meeting. The one I use is the Samson Go mic https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Mic-Portable-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B001R76D42/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=samson+go+mic&qid=1605882529&sr=8-6 It is smaller and portable but pretty high quality. If you keep looking you could probably find it for 30-40 bucks like I did. Still though it is a bummer to have to buy a separate mic. Another thing to consider is if you want to use the webcam for something like streaming, it should work fine but if you want to get serious I suggest using a camera to allow for picture adjustments.Pros-Nice price for quality ratio-Good stand-Plug and play-Included lens cover-Uses external usb cable, much better if you want something longer or want to store it.Cons-Bad integrated mic-Stand hard to take off so its difficult to be super portable in something like a laptop case.If you see all these webcams for like 200 bucks and you just want something for zoom this is perfect and quality for only like 30$

I've had this camera for a few months now, and I don't think I could've possibly gotten a better camera at this price.The camera is easy to set up and connect with the Wi-Fi. It took me all of 2 minutes to set it up on the Wansview Cloud app. It only takes about a second for the camera to react to anything from the app.The image is nice and clear, and I haven't had any issues with it. I was expecting to deal with some compression with the night vision, but it's never been an issue. I like watching the spider who lives on our porch spin a web, and it's pretty clear even with the spider about an inch from the lens.GALAYOU customer service has been absolutely fantastic. My camera stopped working after 2 months, and they offered multiple solutions that ended up not working. Customer service sent a replacement, and it was just as easy to set up and is working perfectly. They responded to emails very quickly and were extremely helpful.I absolutely recommend the GALAYOU 2K. The price and camera are great on their own, but the customer service is what's going to keep me coming back.

Lots of one star reviews because some people here couldn't get over the fact that it's not really used for webcam. No kidding. And webcams aren't specialized to serve as cameras to shoot photos outdoors and indoors.I've had this camera for about 3 months and it's not perfect and Canon does some foolish things. But overall at the price point of about $500 which can be obtained, it is superb, especially since you can use fantastic large glass to obtain fantastic photos at 24 megapixel. It does take some work to learn how it reacts and focusing but, once you do, the results are far superior to any iPhone and it's not even close. If you plan on printing and framing any of your photos, this will excel and clearly show the iPhone limitations for what they are. It's a phone camera. This is much larger glass.I purchased the Canon pancake lens and this becomes a fantastic pocket camera that you can use anywhere, although you lose zoom. The included lens is fine and I think you can get better pictures than the point and shoots that come from Canon and any other, although those do shoot beautiful pictures too.It takes some getting used to the Canon touch screen system. Absolutely foolishly, Canon didn't use the rotating button to have presets for priority like aperture, shutter speed, etc. It's practically useless at three positions with Auto, priority, and video. The rotating dial on top is used to zoom in and out of photos for the most part. This is where I found it weakest, even though you can save settings and access reasonably quickly, but not as fast as the dial unfortunately.I found a video working well, no overheating problems as others have reported. It's not easy to find the 4K video but it's there, only 24p and cropped, for reasons that Canon should have avoided. But it's fine for what it is. I use it for limited situations and for longer duration I use 1080p since it's not as hefty as well. Like many of these cameras it's not really meant for video but it does a fine job and touted as a vlogging camera, which I guess it does reasonably but primarily at 1080p. Like almost all cameras, 4K will overheat after 5 to 10 minutes. An average temperature I was able to get 8 to 10 minutes of 4K without any overheating warnings.I take multiple photos at times because, occasionally, I find some parts of photos are not focus. I had this issue occasionally even on my Sony RX100 so I wouldn't fully blame the camera. With digital this is not an issue at all. Most of the time I find focus is good and, with multiple subjects, make sure that you choose properly on screen. The IQ is usually pretty good and the photos are often very crisp. Sometimes I have downright exceptional clarity and crispness from the stock lens, which easily rivaled my RX100 and sometimes better it. What the RX100 did better was have a little more sharpness and richer colors, but I think that was preprocessed and I can get the same using digital editing, where most of the magic happens anyway. The source material in Raw jpeg art superb.Where this really excels and why I bought it instead of another RX100 or Canon g series is because I can use regular glass, including the big zoom lens I used to use for my Canon rebel SLR cameras. Using a $40 adapter, I'm able to use my 250 zoom lens and get a far, far superior zoom and photo quality then I could ever have hoped for even with the newest rx100. Having that versatility to me was worth every penny in getting this mirrorless camera. If I want to walk around that fits in the pocket, I use the pancake lens. If I want to use the camera with zoom versatility, the stock lens without the case will fit in my jacket pocket.I think at this price point you will not find many mirrorless options. The digital screen is good for what it is and I didn't use the viewfinder as often as I thought I had on my previous camera.Battery life is excellent on this camera too, and I easily get 200 photos with some video. You can find genuine Canon batteries for 25 to 45 dollars, which is competitive to others.If you're looking for a step up to your phone and want portability with the ability to use better glass, this is a great portable option right now at a low price point. You're basically buying this because you can use much better glass. Anyone who tells you that their phone takes better photos doesn't understand photography. It's up to you whether you're only going to view your photos on your phone or on a computer screen. If you're ever going to take more challenging shots outdoors or in some indoor situations and you may consider printing, this is a great low-cost travel option.
