yes but there's a lot of people with different interests in what they want with a webcam. a lot of people wish for their stream to look as best as it can. for $150 more, going with the other webcams for objectively a much better image quality, might be worth it for them, so with this post, bluey just hopes to alleviate the ignorance of "Brio is the best looking webcam" and clarifying the true medium between premium webcam and DSLR/Mirrorless, because a Brio does not compete against even the cheapest DSLR/Mirrorless image-wise, but the Facecam Pro and Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra, does, so they're the first to integrate plug and play webcam, while having image quality good enough that actually warrants if it's necessary to spend another $200 - $300 for cheapest DSLR/Mirrorless set-up while having to then learn how to set it up. so while mr Wuggie might prefer the Brio at its cost and what you can get out of the image quality, which isn't bad, some people will prefer the image quality you get out of the the kiyo pro ultra/insta360/tiny 2The thing is, here the insta360 link is three times the price of a Brio or a Kiyo pro Ultra.. I don't know about other places in the world though, because it also was a interesting camera to me, but it was just too much to spend for how much I actually use it..
I have no doubt the Razer will have amazing image quality.. I'm just worried about how long it will last honestly, but it will be intersting to see, so I will look forward to hearing back about this..
I have myself suggested the Brio, because you can change the cable if it breaks, it's a good camera on that budget, but it could be interesting looking into if something else around the same price is actually better to me, but again, this becomes a "what is the budget" question, and not a question of what the best camera is I guess
Oh yeah!!! Tell me about it!!!
yep, when models ask bluey which webcam they should upgrade to, bluey try to include as many variables that bluey can imagine to help determine whether or not they're going to want to spend on these more expensive webcams, so bluey usually talk it over with them. there's a whole bunch of stuff available or not available depending on living situation/budget, but bluey try to always go over every possible thing bluey can think of, both with PC hardware suggestions and webcam/camera/specialty lens stuffs and depending on their country, they may not have access to some of these webcams anyway, so in some rare cases, stuff like Brio, which is much more universal, is easier to get hold of.
Maybe a rain cover would be a good solution? Most of them are pretty inexpensive
its not a total solution but can still help prevent damage. my problem is rain covers don't usually cover the lens and ones that do will create a possible unwanted filter effect that can degrade the quality of the shot. i personally find them bulky. now the crappy dslr underwater camera bags i've been seeing tourists bravely use in the ocean lately would probably be a better way to go than the covers. prevents your lens from getting unintentionally splash-zoned along with the body.
I think you just worded what I have tried to say much better than I could honestly, that the "Best" in anything is relative.. so best picture quality isn't always "best" as the longevity and price can determine what's best also

most models will probably choose that as well yes, for longevity and such, but bluey's intentions with this post were not for what the best webcam choices are for budget, it's the best webcam you can buy, bluey guess that can be deceiving depending on the intention in which it's read upon, but this thread was meant to pertain strictly to image quality. people just need to be realistic with how well they take care of their equipment or what they do on stream or if they're accidentally clumsy, if there's a chance they think it'll break and w/e. but that's the reason models also go for a camera set-up. they don't use a camera because it's cheaper, they use it because they have the finances to warrant their desire to have that better image quality, better production, but webcams have never had anything in the market for a good medium between this, it was always just the Logitech Brio in terms of image quality, but that's no longer the case and there's a lot of people that still think strictly image quality that Brio is the best, which is wrong, so that's all bluey was trying to clarify with the post.
My point is that we rarely pick purely based on image quality alone.
I think you just worded what I have tried to say much better than I could honestly, that the "Best" in anything is relative.. so best picture quality isn't always "best" as the longevity and price can determine what's best also
Can I ask, what 2 cams you're using and how they have been holding up so far? (so how long they lasted etc)
bluey has no problems with people having a discussion, but what's being written is partly bias. not every single model in the world that currently cams, only abides by those ideologies and that seems to be continuously misconstrued with this post. the post is pertaining to something specific and bluey can't edit the post to clarify this is for best webcams you can currently buy for image quality-sake.
that's actually not true as a generalization to cam models, not all of them stay still. bluey knows quite a few models that bring the camera very up close to their body when laying down doing oil shows or going further distances doing pole dancing or cooking shows on stream, changing distances from up close shots and far away and such.
bluey's only recently joined this forum website and the intention was strictly for tech purposes. you say talking to bluey is like talking to a child but you speak with literally no consideration for anyone but yourself. if bluey wants to partake in other threads, that's solely bluey's decision alone, not yours. if you have a problem that bluey dedicates majority of the day to being able to help models and few Twitch streamers with OBS and only choose to spend whatever other available time, with tech related stuff on this forum, that's a you problem. it also has nothing to do with "standards" for what's posted in the thread. people are more than welcome to write about how they prefer the Brio and why, bluey's even accommodated the principle in people's own decision to use/stick with the Brio.
There are definitely ones that cover the body and lens, but not the front glass element, usually they are made like a sleeve that tightens around the lens.
bluey is so generous, look, he even said that he's not upset with me after his "if that's the case" non-apology:
when bluey say help, that's usually not referring to webcam suggestions. majority of what bluey's helped people with, as models are usually content with the devices they use, is just making sure they're using the proper encoding settings and supersampling if they wish to set that up and are able to do so hardware-wise, as well as basic audio stuff but it's pretty rare that someone's audio has been so bad that bluey's had to suggest doing any EQ, but that's all less common with omnidirectional type streams as opposed to podcasting or using a condenser up close and wanting to cut out lots of background noise without degrading the voice quality. the only time bluey's brought up other webcam suggestions, is if they've first communicated that they want to look into a new webcam or camera because they don't like how the Brio or w/e other one they're using, looks. that's when bluey helps in that regard. that was literally the reason bluey decided to come on here to make this post as well as the 4K supersampling MFC post, was because of how many models bluey came across that didn't like how the Brio looked in 1080p or even after the 4K supersampling, which bluey felt happened frequent enough to warrant creating the post and why bluey is being ridiculed by particular people for that, is absolutely ridiculous.
bluey stating not being upset was just to clarify bluey don't have anything against you both despite what has happened, 'cause people often read the way bluey writes as if bluey angry or something, but bluey entirely calm.
We’ll I’m afraid unless these top models come here and verify this, I have a hard time believing that.
maybe because bluey doesn't want to bother getting other models involved in stupid petty drama like this? all you're doing here is continually trying to start shit, people like you that have no mutual cooperation is why bluey don't like partaking in other social forums, because all you want to do is argue and alienate people.
Other than it being distracting, I actually also find it somewhat creepy, and I have SUCH a hard time reading the text, it throws me off every single time it's there, but then again I also already have difficulty reading too much text at once.. so it being written in third person fucks it all up, others might also have this problem
there's reasons bluey talk in third person and bluey's not going to discuss in public, what those reasons are.
Yes those exact things you listed are annoying me too.Other than it being distracting, I actually also find it somewhat creepy, and I have SUCH a hard time reading the text, it throws me off every single time it's there, but then again I also already have difficulty reading too much text at once.. so it being written in third person fucks it all up, others might also have this problem
I'm sure the 4 cameras are GREAT image quality though
