Big disappointment!

Really surprised how bad this camera is! I love Microsoft products and this one was a flop. My old 5 year old Logitech 720p (c525) webcam outperforms this one even when used in commands. The image quality is poor, HDR and 1080p are not self-evident and seem to exist only as descriptions. Save money, this webcam will only disappoint you.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • weak

Terrible quality, too high price.

This is a terrible camera. It's amazing that Microsoft has developed such a poor quality webcam. The resolution is abysmal, the autofocus takes a long time and there is no built-in microphone. The Logitech C922 webcam that we have now offers much better performance, better resolution, faster autofocus, built-in microphone and is cheaper.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Protection

Reasonable video quality

Expected more from the official Microsoft webcam. I like Windows Hello and the best camera. Well it isn't. Beyond expectations, the Zoom video is sharp. This is ideal for low-light situations. I just wish it was sharper with more pixels. 1080p but I wouldn't say it's true HD. But definitely a little better than other standard 1080p webcams. Eh! Only if we could buy a used Pixel 3A and rip out its camera to use as a webcam.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Sad packaging

Great camera with lots of nice features

I've used pretty much every webcam out there and they all don't work in low light with lamps and the typical lighting you would find in your home office. Most cameras work well in an office environment lit like a stadium, but not all offer perfect lighting. The state-of-the-art webcam from Microsoft exceeded my expectations in every respect. First of all, it is very important to download the Microsoft Accessory Center app from the Microsoft Store. This app is the only way to turn on (or off)…

Pros
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • Appearance
