I don't need a camera, but I will say it was great to see you out of bed and using your hands for as long as you did. Looks like you are making a great comeback.
Honestly this makes the DSLR look much better than the others. Its cool that the Brio operates in pretty much any light situation but the overall quality isn't really comparable IMO.
couple notes I took: The sony a5100 - at least that looks like my a5100 - DSLM (not DSLR) might have been 1500 bucks when it released but since its discontinued, you can get the camera and the stock kit-lens you are using on it for less than 400 bucks on the 2nd hand market easily. grab a camlink/non-brand alternative and a dummy battery - no second pc needed, good job to whoever sold you on that - and you have a great, small camera that you can also use for livestreaming. proper setup is more difficult for sure, though the image quality is far better than any classic webcam. basically a no-brainer if you have the money and plan on continuing down the creation route, swap lenses for better ones/different applications, vlog, adjust settings out of auto-mode (like how to light the image), take photos, etc - lots of upgrades possible. you could even swap the body and get an a6700 down the line with all the same lenses. justifying the 3-4x price increase over something the c920 though.. for homeoffice work, its completely overkill and does not feature windows hello unlike the previous brio. the adjustable fov is nice - though most telco software auto-crop anyway, great gimmick for streaming if you have guests over though. microphone quality is actually usable, good job there - sadly irrelevant for anyone streaming/gaming due to headsets/dedicated microphones. the sensor and resulting image quality overall is good, but it shows once more, why lighting is key in videography. if you have bad lighting and can change that, do that first. In the end, its a money choice and I think Logitech did a lot of things right here going with the sony-sensor and improved processing for sure. Sits nicely between the c920 (at ~3-4x the price) and sth like an a5100 (2.5x the mx brio for a basic setup). if your budget for a webcam is 200 bucks, you intend to spent all of it, you are doing just-chatting/youtube commentary fullscreen-facecam all the time or a lot of 1:1 client calls where you also present things on fullscreen-facecam and have no way to change a bad lighting situation - or simply want to trump your colleagues/friends quality.. I can see this being a valid choice. for that, a comparison against other products in that pricerange would have been great - maybe future video, if you have some available? been using c920s and logitech mice/keyboard forever, I am sure the mx brio would hold up nicely. let me know who you think is the target audience here, love to hear your thoughts. dedicated premium webcams are a strange concept to me. cheers
Does this work with a ps5? 🥶 gonna assume no, unfortunately. I haven't tried in a while using 3rd party accessories, but the default ps5 one is like 720p max or something. Not that great
Hey Drift0r can you do a video on the massive stock market crash that happened over the weekend (08/05/24)? I lost a huge amount of money because you recommended to invest in stocks/Bitcoin. I miss doomer political Drift0r :(

Hey Drift good to see you're up and sitting upright. Hope you're feeling good as possible.
A characteristically thorough review. I’m not in the market for a webcam, but if I were this’d be super helpful.
I hate Logitech software but their cameras are so decent. Really wish they had an on-board memory
Sad that they offer a 15 percent off code for acquiring your email. They should have extended that to drift0r too

They milked the C920 for 10+ years. About time.
Ok ❤verry nice

Not to the best of my knowledge
❤❤
So early the bots are here 🙏
Can you test it on the bedcam? 😂
Not easily. I'd have to run a custom extra long cable for it

Driftor you should either rebrand or find a new game. I understand your residuals probably let you eat forever but cmon
