The Best Webcams of 2021 had BIG Surprises

I set out to find the best webcams right now in 2021 but some of the results weren't what I expected at all, for both office and steaming. In this webcam roundup I test both budget webcams and some of the supposed best webcams for streaming including the Logitech BRIO, Logitech C922, Razer KIYO PRO, Nexigo N60 and more.

The amount of hardwork put into this video didn't go unnoticed, love your work!

[mihirsharma]

I can’t get over the fact how I’ve been watching this dude for years and yet I mistake him for Chris Pratt every time I’m on YouTube.

[karthikeyanssr]

Very thoughtful of you to keep a mirror in the background allowing us to see which web cam is being used. Good job.

[Krackatoa]

On the BRIO, I think you need to disable most of the automatic settings for exposure in the embedded control panel (Not the Logitech app, but the one with the Windows GUI), in order to fix the weird shutter speed issue. Might not be for your case (Or if you weren't willing to muck with gain), but it forced the faster shutter speed for low light. I like the BRIO, but I hate the software support so, so, so much.

[murkymurka]

I just noticed that the mirror in the background during the office setup test allows us to see the camera in use. Really neat stuff!

[mikesheehan]

Was shopping for a webcam this morning and I reckon you've just saved me a chunk of money as I bought the Nexigo. Thanks so much!

[koffiezet]

Got the Brio for my meetings from the home office. Was a bit pricy, but the Windows Hello and pretty good video quality made it more than worth it. Even when in worse lighting conditions, I still always have hands down the best image quality in the call.

[sirzechsdb]

nice subtle touch to angle the mirror at the back. much appreciated, D!

[rudyskrew]

Thank you for this video Dimitri and gang, this ACTUALLY helped me pick out my next webcam :) ty ty ty ty ty !!!

[zirezerimar]

I like that you guys included the mirror on the back so we can see the camera hahaha. Leaves not excuses for the incredulous XD

[GaudyMarko]

its nice when the most expensive options are the best, usually those brands spend more on hyping up their brand image while delivering a mediocre product at an inflated price. But damn that Jelly Comb dark horse was quite the upset for all the lower/medium priced options

[RyanHoguePassiveIncome]

This is the video we needed !! Thank you!

[mistergeorgie]

Terrific and meaningful review. I’m impressed. You seem to be really authentic.

I’d love to see you do a serious review of cameras as replacements/upgrades for streaming…. mirrorless and DSLRs….

Holy shit the quality of this video is 👌 Also, seeing the quality of the webcams made me appreciate how excellent your main camera set up is. I'm sure it wasn't cheap but it looks fantastic! Thanks for this video 👏

I bought the Nexigo N660 for ~$35 USD 3 months ago for work. IMO it's amazing good for the price. For work, you don't need to be massively detailed in Zoom. It's a great balance of price and quality. I use a headset for audio/mic so the camera mic quality is irrelevant.

Also, I don't want to spend an entire days pay on a $200 camera to look nicer in a work meeting lol.

[joaosantos]

That jelly comb fhd one is absolutely phenomenal. For 25 dollars that's an absolute steal, Jesus christ.

[markynio]

Thanks so much for this video. I've been a Logi(tech) user since 2012's or so with the C910, then C920 and C922. Unfortunately, their bad software and configuration made me start to look for another cameras. Razer Kiyo Pro, here we go.

[Tybost]

I'm only halfway through the video and decided to pause and leave this comment. This is one of the more valuable videos I've watched in a while- and I'm super appreciative of your efforts as I seek out to purchase the best webcam for the money. :D

[DangerGnom]

You guys went all in. Very comprehensive and detailed review. You also went so far, to do a comparison between 2 usual usecases, just to show the differnet behaviour of the cameras used. My overall favorit was the Logitech Brio. The contender for best value was the Nexiogo N60. Some of the higher priced products here are way to overprized for the delivered featureset/usefulness/quality (= missing features, unstable monitor mounting, missing features in the software, quality was not up to the task). A really good review. Liked it.

[ndizon]

I very much liked videos like these because it is very informative and consumer-friendly when choosing the right webcam for those not familiar with webcams. Thank you.
