Logitech MX Brio review

pcgamer.com:

Logitech webcams have become something of a staple over the years for anyone looking for an affordable camera from a trusted brand. Given my tendency towards observing (and judging) any piece of PC hardware I can find on my travels, I'm often surprised at the variety of choices people make when it comes to monitors, speakers, headsets, and more. 

Glance up at the top of the display though, and yep, that's another Logitech webcam nestling on top, more often than you might expect.

Well, here comes something a bit more premium than your average Logitech offering to take your fancy: The Logitech MX Brio. And premium comes right to the forefront the second you clock the price. At $200/£220 this puts it firmly at the upper end of the market for an all-in-one cam, and price-wise it's right next to the best overall pick in our best webcam guide, the Elgato Facecam.

Better be good then, hadn't it?

Recording resolution: 4K at 30 fps, 1080p at 60 fps
FOV: 90°/78°/65°
Features: Auto-focus, HDR, white balance adjustment, low light compensation, show mode
Price: $200/£220

The initial signs are promising. This is the first Logitech webcam to receive its «MX» branding, and Logitech says it's the most advanced camera it's made to date. On paper the specs look good, including 4K 30 fps capture capabilities (or 60 fps at 1080p) with an 8.5MP Sony STARVIS image sensor, twin beamforming microphones and supposedly twice the finer image detail versus the regular Brio 4K.

Included in the packaging is the camera unit itself, a detachable mount, and a 1.5m USB-C to USB-C Cable. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting otherwise, but it feels a little bit of a non-event for such a high-priced product, although perhaps those are some eco-credentials on display. 

Not only is the paper packaging sourced from controlled sources, but Logitech says that the plastic parts used include up to 82% recycled material. And the aluminium camera housing is apparently manufactured using renewable energy, too.
