“The Facecam MK.2 is a relatively budget‑friendly option for those who need 1080p/60fps video, but if you can live with 1080p/30fps there are better options.”

“The Elgato Facecam MK.2 costs less than its predecessor but remains a mediocre webcam overall because of its clunky software and lack of a microphone.”
