Razer - Kiyo

https://www.razer.com/ca-en/streaming-cameras/razer-kiyo?srsltid=AfmBOoql0ES1W7gtheiNxwOEvdCjewZVcZccgi4_vPd8nu8CLuJYHggz Mostly because it was fairly inexpensive and has its own ring light...

Elgato Facecam Neo, Razer Kiyo, if you want a built-in light or Logitech c920 series. Take your pick, all for less $100 usd typically

I had issues with Razer Kiyo. It just stopped working after a month. I've got a replacement unit which also suddenly stopped working after a year. The image quality was mediocre at best. I am using Elgato Facecam Neo now and I am very pleased with it. The image quality is way better than Razer Kiyo. It also has a great optional software - you can set focus to near / mid / far / auto, set contrast, saturation., sharpness, adjust shutter speed, iso, dynamic range and white balance. There is also a very good looking image noise reduction. Elgato Facecam Neo doesn't have a microphone, but the microphones in webcams are usually shitty quality anyways, so you will not really want to use the built in mic anyway. To achieve a nice image with any webcam you will need a good lighting. Sitting in a well lit room, putting a night lamp near your face should be good enough at first. You can also consider using your smartphone as a webcam, there are apps like DroidCam that you install on your PC and your phone that let you connect your phone via USB or wifi. The camera in your phone will most likely produce better quality video than most webcams on the market.

Razer Kiyo is $60, it’s what I use

Razr Kiyo  It's great. Has a ring light and.mic if needed. Though the mic isn't great.  I use it for meetings and streaming. I got made fun of during the panini for having a 4k camera when everyone else was in pixilated jail at work. 

I use the razr kiyo,  steelseries arctis pro wireless headset, and blue yeti mic. I've never used the kiyo mic, but I do know discord likes to default to it a lot lol.

I’ve owned Kiyo and C920. Not sure why everyone used to recommend C920, I like Kiyo way better.

The LED ring definitely makes a difference. I say better in terms of out of the box color profile of the camera. Of course you can install the app and adjust it but as a plug and play, the colors and contrast of Razer is way better than Logi.

I started with Razer Kiyo and then got a C920 Pro HD.

I ran the kiyo for about two years. I think it's a fine camera. I'd take the savings and buy some cheap led light boxes and a desk mount for them because extra light will help with webcam clarity and despite the ring light being there it isn't really that powerful. I actually still use the webcam almost daily as I mounted it on my wall and pointed it at my cat perch and it's lasted about 5 years My upgrade as a relatively cheap/poor hobbist has been the a5000 but that was roughly 300$ before the capture card. Old Cellphones work great with a program like Irun Webcam. I use my current cellphone as an additional camera for things like showing people my cannabis garden.

I have the same and have been happy with it.
