Corsair's Elgato Intros Facecam 4K: DSLR-Quality Webcam for Creators

[Nomad76]

Corsair (Nasdaq: CRSR) subsidiary Elgato, a global leader in content creator technology, today launched Facecam 4K, a groundbreaking studio webcam that brings DSLR-level 4K60 video to mainstream creators. Designed with a professional imaging pipeline, including a SONY STARVIS 2 sensor, advanced image processor, and Elgato's Camera Hub software, Facecam 4K delivers ultra-smooth, uncompressed Ultra HD footage with cinematic flexibility. It's also the first webcam to support 49-mm lens filters, enabling popular pro-style effects like starbursts and diffusion.

Facecam 4K is available now, representing a major innovative leap in webcam technology, making broadcast-quality video and professional creative control more accessible than ever. With results rivaling many professional cameras, Facecam 4K proves that incredible video no longer requires a prohibitively expensive setup.



Thi La, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair, said, "Facecam 4K is a great example of how Elgato continues to lead in creator technology, delivering pro-level 4K60 quality without the usual cost or complexity. As the creator economy evolves, we see opportunities to expand what a streaming webcam can do, especially through software, filters, and deeper app integrations. We're excited to give creators the tools they need to enhance their brand image, and this is just one step in our broader plan to drive further innovation."

Customers can order Facecam 4K starting today on elgato.com and at authorized retailers in Corsair's global network.

Challenging the 4K Brio from Logitech? At $200 on their website....that's kinda steep....Brio has been a while on the market. There are amazing projects turning it into a 3D scanner even.

The Sony STARVIS 2 sensor is used in 125$ dash cams. That's not DSLR quality. If you want that, get an APS-C camera and an HDMI capture card.

Low end DSLR cameras are 20mp, mid are around 24mp, and high end are 45 to 61mp. This is an 8mp camera, or a dslr from like 2005.

This is the way, but you don't even need the capture card anymore. Most modern cameras will act as a webcam when plugged into a computer via usb.

Viewsonic also have 4K Webcams, as do Creative (allegedly) based on Creatives very low price I have serious doubts about theirs.
