FIXED Focus Deal

Okay, ok, I did it myself - you go online, look for an available webcam, go through endless options and sometimes take wrong turns. Because of the cost and one such flaw, I've bought (and reviewed) more FIXED focus webcams than I care to count. I would like something like that if it had good fast autofocus, but of course in a different price range, which I've already mostly covered with my DSLR. Anyway, the Soulion camera does a REALLY good job for $19.99 + 25% off coupon (let's call it $15). По сравнению с другими моими USB-камерами "маленьких брендов" и "безымянных" у нее, кажется, больше гибкости форматов (она может работать с 4:2:2 при жалкой частоте кадров, наряду с более типичными эмулируемыми форматами при полном разрешении и скорости . No). Noticeable lag in emulation mode at Full HD resolution, which is nice in itself. In terms of image quality, with such a cheap camera you have to rely on good lighting to save the image. , disappeared as I bathed in the many thousands of lumens of the LED bar. ;) The color rendering is also about as you would expect. But if you care about consistency or color correction at all. You're probably not trying to buy a $15 camera to start with, hmmm? In terms of operating system, this camera worked perfectly on Windows 10, OS X and Ubuntu 21.04. Played well with my OBS setup too. I'm afraid I haven't tested the mic much. But the quality was. Well, ALWAYS USE A SEPARATE MIC WHEN YOU NEED SOUND! heh But again, at a price and in emergencies. *not bad*! I can't give a full 5 stars because the advertised focal length of 30 cm to infinity is more like 30" to infinity and it's still *a little* too soft for my taste. I'd rather have it TOO sharp - I can always use live Filtering or softening some post-processing tricks, but given the price and quality of the camera, it definitely gets 4 stars from me (despite the lack of autofocus)!
