Starting out a streaming career? Throw a good punch with a USB webcam!
Features:
A smartphone with a fancy algorithm, much faster and more straight-forward data to memory can make every frame of the image look its best. But a webcam, even those with higher quality lenses and processing chips can not work this way.
Data from the webcam will be compressed by USB and be processed by computer before it is projected on a screen.
Thus, there’s no mile difference between a 4K HD or a 1080P webcam. With proper skill, you can make it a level pegging comparison. Even if you don't want to bother with the config. it's still good to get the job done for web-conferencing.
Now you decide to spend less and go for a 1080P (30fps) full HD? FIFINE webcam gives such an option as standard, as well as auto white balance and auto color correction.
The well-known fact is that webcams are pretty bad at low-light. Even with better HDR technology, a fancy webcam could just be marginally better in dim light conditions. The brightness of the image from different webcams is all much of a muchness, it makes more sense to spend the extra on gear to get lighting on point. The key is to light yourself or whoever is in front of the webcam. Or simply turning on all lights in the room will do the trick. People are going to tell the difference whether you’re using a budget webcam from FIFINE or a 4-time more expensive one.
Because of the limitation of capsule size, whether stereo mics or a mono one is not likely to capture your voice more engaged than an external mic can do. If you have known that webcam can only get the job done but not beef up sound quality, why not spend your bucks on a combo of an external mic such K668 plus FIFINE webcam.
