WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

Its price buys real imaging hardware—a 1/2-inch sensor, f/1.8 lens and PDAF—plus competent framing software, not an inflated badge. PCWorld found it worth the modest premium over similarly sized cameras.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

One of the best-looking compact webcams: pocketable, restrained and available in subtle colors. The magnetic mount is clever but cable pull can make it less secure than a hinged clamp.
