Review on Full HD 1080p Microsoft LifeCam Studio by Vanchay Chounmalaith ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not at all what I expected.

I have been using the camera for over three years. When buying, it was important for me to have high quality picture and sound with the ability to attach to a tripod (a very rare option for webcams). I mainly use the camera for webinars and Skype. When the camera is working, there is a constant defocusing, which looks like zooming in and out with the search for focus, people participating in the webinar ask me - why am I moving the camera? - this is what the effect looks like. Sometimes the brightness, contrast and b / w floats. All its advantages - a very good picture and sound quality (the microphone is very sensitive, everything is heard at a fairly long distance) "kills" the constant search for focus. Autofocus tries to adjust even when manual focus mode is on! The software is not ated. On Windows 7 it gets up without problems, on Windows 10 the driver got up without problems, and additional recording software (downloaded from offsite) is not installed. There were also problems with the settings in Skype, it was not possible to use manual camera modes at all, these settings appeared only after several ates to Skype recently. A very wide shooting angle, which I don’t really like, you need to use the zoom to get closer to the subject. After the experience of using the camera, you understand that all its advantages are crossed out by its huge (in my opinion) shortcomings. I do not recommend buying!

Pros
  • For me, excellent picture quality and sound quality! Possibility of mounting on a tripod. Zoom (albeit digital, but it's not bad).
Cons
  • Constant defocus. Installing additional software is "dancing with tambourines." The cap does not stay on the lens. The relatively high price is an overpayment for the brand. Very wide angle.

Pros below: Good picture, sensitive built-in microphone (heard from 2 meters, successfully organized the broadcast of a poetry evening with this device). There is a tripod mount. Cons: White balance is not always perfect automatically.

Its pros: I'm happy with the camera like an elephant, though there are some software problems in it. Its cons: And now to the problem. Sometimes autofocus starts to blunt. It is treated by the usual rolling of the USB wire.

Then someone compared it with his little finger, it is interesting to look at it . The diameter is about 30 mm. To get a good picture, LiveCam built into windows is enough (I have seven)

The quality is at the level, only the aperture ratio is not enough. In poor lighting. Starts graining.

Pros: Good camera, good tripod mount. Good microphone, the sound is not distorted. Has cons: Slow adjustment, if objects in the frame change - a blurry image. For the image to become clear, you need to wait about a minute.

Incorrect exposure on a poppy is not treated. I didn't find a solution to the problem on the internet.

Very nice lens plug included. On Windows, no drivers and settings are expectedly needed.
