  • The new Razer Kiyo Pro webcam is bringing the best HDR I've used on a webcam alongside 1080p at 60p, stereo microphones, lens cover for privacy and an adaptive Sony Starvis light sensor.

    That transition to the DSLR at the minute mark -- ooft. Now, I think the webcam looks great, and very promising, but it feels like the ultimate solution for premium quality will always be that DSLR setup.
    Then again, the price points are so vastly different, and the setup for the DSLR makes it harder for the average consumer to engage with. I'm really considering this Kiyo Pro now, after watching this review!

    I really appreciate how informative this video is. I got the original kiyo a cpl of months ago for under $90 for streaming. I love it so far using it & it’s most def an upgrade to what I use to use WAY back in the day. $199 is a bit out of my price range but it’s def something I’ll be watching for sales or price drops come the holidays. That hdr def makes a world of a difference.

  • @stopfaking
    @stopfaking Před 3 lety +15

    Not having the Adjustable Brightness Ring Light on this webcam is a GODSEND! The old Razer Kiyo was a burden to anyone who wore glasses during their stream, showing that bright white circle in both eyes the entire time. Something tells me the Razer team saw this as a big problem, which is why this camera has a hypersensitivity to surrounding light.
    The ring light on the original was a mistake - putting this camera (for people who wear glasses) on the low end of the buyers spectrum, for a huge markup.

    I don't know what's up with your video that you're getting from those more expensive logi webcams, but my C920 looks a lot sharper and looks like my back iPhone camera or even some lower end proper cameras (I don't use Logitech Capture cause it always throws off a lot of balance for me). Also is there any chance of like an overview of all webcams using a universal software like Nvidia Broadcast cause I'd like to see how they all look in my work case since it seems to give a much better video feed for me and a lot of my friends.

    • @SoldierKnowsBest
      @SoldierKnowsBest  Před 3 lety

      Yea I mentioned this wasn't the best quality you can get from the Logitech webcams, but I would have to adjust my lighting setup to get better exposure and even coverage. The Kiyo is better suited for different lighting conditions, but Logitech is still a great buy especially the 4K variants.
