Our Verdict
Elgato Facecam MK.2: Sony sensor, uncompressed 1080p60, HDR, PTZ control (pan/tilt/zoom) via app, DSLR-style exposure/ISO controls, slide privacy shutter, USB-C. #20 in webcams, 2,300+ ratings, 500+ bought/mo, ~$115.
What We Like

- DSLR-style manual controls
- Privacy shutter built in
- Works with Camera Hub app

- Premium price vs basic cams
Who Is This For?
Remote workers on Zoom/Teams, streamers and creators who want a webcam that looks like a DSLR on calls.
The Full Picture
Most webcams look muddy; the Facecam MK.2 does not — its Sony sensor with HDR keeps faces clear even against a bright window, and the motorized PTZ can follow you around the desk. The Camera Hub app exposes real exposure, ISO and white-balance controls, and the physical slide shutter is the privacy feature every webcam should have. At ~$115 with 500+ sold a month it is the webcam we recommend for anyone on video calls all day.
Bottom Line
The premium 1080p PTZ webcam for calls and streaming — Elgato Facecam MK.2.
