The C920s is the cheapest webcam on this list and still a sensible upgrade over most built-in laptop cameras. It records Full HD at 1080p and 30 fps through a five-element glass lens, and autofocus keeps your face sharp when you lean in or back. The fixed 78 degree diagonal view frames one person and a bit of the room. RightLight 2 adjusts for dim settings, though it is an older system without the HDR found on the Brio 4K or MX Brio, so it will struggle more with a bright window behind you. Two microphones, one on each side of the lens, capture stereo sound for calls, and a privacy shutter flips over the lens when you are off camera. Logi Tune lets you adjust zoom and settings. It is not a streaming camera: 30 fps and no 4K mean motion and detail fall behind the rest of this list.

Who it is for

Remote workers on a budget who only need clear 1080p video calls.
