Review on Webcam Microsoft 5WH-00002, silver/black by Mateusz Wodarczyk ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The purchase was not worth it at all.

It would seem that the camera is much cheaper than Logitech, similar in terms of parameters. But not everything is so simple. There is no intelligible software, for normal settings in WIN10 there is no application that is . It would be better if it were not there. In a third-party application (OBS) - you can adjust some parameters BUT (!) you cannot adjust the "gain" parameter, as a result, this very parameter somehow adjusts according to the algorithm that it only knows. What does it lead to? 1. Noise, disgusting and not removed, even during daylight hours. 2. The camera heats up very much, it is impossible to hold your hand - colored placers of dots appear in some areas of the picture, i. E. pure marriage. All this is true for working on a modern system, where there are only USB 3.0 ports. It will probably work for Skype, but why would a camera for 3000+ be needed for Skype? For "work" - to shoot videos for YouTube, not good. It's a pity, I spent 3500, but I have to throw it away, in fact. Now there are a lot of these cameras at flea markets, in "like new" condition, but you should think very hard before buying.

Pros
  • Price, works without drivers on W10
Cons
  • Quality, lack of software for fine tuning.
