Considering how poor their previous Stargazer webcam was, I expect this to be about the same without the Intel RealSense technology. The software it comes with will most likely work poorly, that is what I have come to expect after using stuff from Razer for over 10 years. The camera it self will be made by cheap components but it will not be reflected by the price because what people are actually paying for is the Razer brand. I believe that buying a Logitech C920 or C922 and a separate ring light is going to be a better optionWhat are everyone's thoughts on the new Razer Kiyo webcam?

Hi there where you able to add that Information in the top left corner of your screen by using the webcam software?Since I have finally moved on from my very favorite webcam of all time (the Logitech 9000 which has been discontinued) I figured I'd put together a thread about the current, most popular webcams.
Logitech c920 (probably the most common used among cam girls now.)
Logitech c930e (which I think they may have re-marketed into the "Pro webcam?")
Logitech c922 (brand new and just released this past weekend, marketed as the best streaming webcam for game broadcasters.)
For starters, I came to realize yesterday that ManyCam had probably been interfering with the quality of my cam image for a long while. I have recently switched to using XSplit Broadcaster and during my struggle to get new cams working yesterday noticed how much easier it is to adjust the lighting settings on Xsplit than on ManyCam. I could set them identically and they looked different. So the images below are taken on Xsplit.

Some things you'll notice:
- the drivers/settings interface for C920 are the simplest to use, they're the old style sliders. It is easiest to get the color/lighting good on that.
- The C930e has a wider lens angle, and I also had to crank up the color saturation to look even somewhat alive, still ended up with a bland/less pink image. Some may like that, not sure if I do. I guess it's the most natural, though?
- The C922 felt very similar to the 920, but ever so slightly sharper/crisper image. Obviously I had some problems with the lighting setting it is a tad too dark, but with this settings interface for some reason it's difficult to master the exposure/gain settings. I should have cranked the gain up a bit like I did on the 930e. But on both the 930e and 922 the exposure setting was pretty impossible to fine-tune.
Currently I'm having problems with video glitching/flickering with both the 930e and 922 so I'm sticking with the 920 until we get that resolved. I think the audio quality on the 930e will likely be the best, and the wide angle is sorta cool, so if I can come to terms with the settings interface for it I may aim to make that my default.
Feel free to report your findings with these webcams as well, maybe exchanging notes about our experiences will help others figure out what works best for them.
The image you see on those screenshots was placed with ManyCam. I now use Xsplit instead.Hi there where you able to add that Information in the top left corner of your screen by using the webcam software?
Ok so if I want to put a banner on my screen like follow my Twitter I need to use either many cams or xsplit is that software I can purchase? And if so where?The image you see on those screenshots was placed with ManyCam. I now use Xsplit instead.
Yes. Just google them.Ok so if I want to put a banner on my screen like follow my Twitter I need to use either many cams or xsplit is that software I can purchase? And if so where?
One day well be able to afford to burn out 2k cameras on the regSome models don't use webcams at all, but professional video cameras/DSLRs. These are way more expensive and streaming for hours at a time can really burn those kinds of cameras out fast. For instance, I just asked WhoreNickels what kind of cam she used because her feed is CRYSTAL clear, and she said it was a $2k Sony video camera.

Interesting. I do have a very high quality camera (non-dslr) it's the Canon G7x which is used by many vloggers and I paid $700 for it but from what I just researched you would need a capture card to use it and the process seems complicated; I guess it would be easier to get use the Logitech.
Do you know by any chance which models are using the DSLR's? I would love to know so I can watch their feed and see what it looks like compared to someone using a Logitech.
Keep in mind this will burn your camera out fast. You may want to make sure it's going to be worth it financially first to put that kind of wear on your camera. Top models are using those cameras because they can afford to.Lol you are right btw about models using DSLR's... I was checking out this new model's show (I'm checking out tons of shows to get ideas for when I start camming) and I think she came from Chaturbate.... with existing followers.. she has the new tag but already over 200 people in her room and in the top 20 for most popular rooms. Cam quality was incredible and I asked her what she was using and she said it was a Sony A6000 which is on the same level as my G7X.
There's absolutely zero choppiness in her stream unlike with most; it's basically like HD quality. Iguess I will try that and if it works return the logitech...

Yep, June Moore's feed is amazeballs. She cammed on CB, is on patreon, and has her own site. She's new on MFC, though, hence the tag!

Finally have the Brio...where can I find software for it? I want something similar to the c920 software, so easy to record with that. There must be something for the Brio. On the c920 software it says its 720p. No bueno. Help!
I recently got the logitech Brio and I LOVE the 90 degree Field of View. It has drastically changed my camming experience in the one day I've been using it.
