THE ELGATO FACECAM MK2 is one of our favorite webcams. But the new Elgato Facecam Neo retails for $50 less than its predecessor at just $99. This makes it a conspicuously budget-friendly contender.
It comes with a matching monitor stand complete with transparent front lip for screens, and has a braided USB cable hardwired in. Pulling the pillshaped camera out of the box, you’ll notice how light it feels, almost like empty plastic, and the mechanical notch for the privacy shutter.
Sadly, the shutter doesn't feel satisfying to move, but it is very easy to use and feels noticeably different when it’s in and out of place, so at least it’s unlikely to be accidentally in the wrong position.
