I have to say.....watching you review the webcam.....is hilarious. It's great stuff. I love that you dance around with large, distinct movements to show how the webcam does with quick movements. And I love how you test the microphone too. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much 😀 We've got a load of webcam reviews on the channel now with even more dancing. I'm surprised you can't see me in pain when I dance, my knees are an absolute wreck from playing football over the years 😆
Thanks man :) Yeah the microphone is way better on this one and that software does a really good job of eliminating background noise. We have a quick comparison video coming up next week where you can hear them both side by side :) Thank you for checking the video out as always and hope all is well with yourself.
Hello buddy. Here's my thoughts: Logitech Brio 100 I would stay away from the Brio 100 personally, the focus seems really out of whack with it. Creative Live! Cam Sync V2 This one was pretty good. Not good if you need to use a green screen. Manually configure the exposure in OBS for the best results especially if you're using ring lights or have a lot of light coming in. It has the best microphone if you need to use it out of the 3 cameras you've mentioned Lenovo 300 I prefer the Creative Live! Cam Sync V2 over this one. This one performs even worse using a green screen and the image quality isn't the best if you're looking for something decent Other options If you want more flexibility then it's worth checking out the Anker C200 and the C310 as you can use software from Anker to change things like field of view and offsetting the frame position plus more.

Thank you, really appreciate that. This webcam has got the best microphone i've heard from any webcams we've tested so far. You will want to install the Creative comms kit so you can remove background noise but it does do a really good job.
hello! this might seem like a silly question but I haven't owned a webcam before. can you use the microphone without using the cam? let's say I'm in a zoom call and I'm not using the cam, but I would still like it to capture my voice using the built in mic
Hello buddy, I hope you're well. Not a silly question at all :) I've just tested this on another webcam that i've got (not the Creative one in this video) and it works fine in Zoom. You can select your microphone as the inbuilt one on the webcam and you can choose to disable the video and it will pick up your voice fine. I've just tested it in OBS too and also Audacity to make sure I could select the webcam microphone in there and it works fine too. I hope this helps.
That's a really good deal. Hope you enjoy it, i'm a fan of this webcam and think the microphone sounds really good on it when using the Creative software.
@@Andyhhhdx I am certainly enjoying it! The main issue is, as expected from your analysis, is that the focus of close objects is horrible, I doubt it has autofocus.
Hello buddy :) Is it the Razer Kiyo with the light around it you're asking about? To be fair, I would say any of the Razer webcams would look better but you will most likely want to disable the autofocus on them as they tend to focus hunt quite regularly.
@@Andyhhhdx , I'm sorry, I forgot to specify the model for comparison, very stupid of me. I meant compared to the cheaper Creative Live! Cam SYNC 1080P V2 which I am considering purchasing. Does it make sense to pay extra for Razer? I'm interested in the quality of the image, there is no sound.
@@user-tj8mm6qj4i Hello buddy, I presumed you meant the V2 :) I think the Razer webcams will give you a little more flexibility as it will install the Razer Synapse software and you usually get firmware updates for the webcams for new features. I would probably go for a Razer over the Creative personally, especially if you could afford the Razer Kiyo Pro, the image quality is very good on that one but just be wary of the autofocus on it :) I hope this helps.
Hello there, I hope you're well :) It's not going to work well with natural light coming in from behind you, you can use something like OBS and play around with the exposure to help out, but overall it's not going to look great. I hope this helps :)
The Creative Live! Cam Sync V3 webcam has just been released and you can check it out here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VQgqkybUfKY.html
I personally slightly preferred the Creative Live! Cam Sync V2. There will be a little less background pixelation on the Lenovo so make sure you use good lighting with any webcam you use. You will want to use manual exposure on the Creative webcam for the best results. If you're looking to use the inbuilt microphone then the Creative webcam is much better. Hope this helps :)
Hello there Fraaki, me personally I would choose the Creative Live Cam Sync v2 out of both of those. If you need to use the microphone on the webcam then the v2 is the better one. Hope this helps.
@@Fraakii They are both 1080p 30fps. The Aukey performed much better than I was expecting. I would suggest taking a look at both of the videos and seeing which one you prefer the look of. If I remember correctly, the Aukey has a wider field of view so more of your background will be in the shot, unless you use something like OBS and crop the image down.
Hello buddy, if I remember correctly, you couldn't change the camera settings using the app. That may have changed now with updates to the software. But I have just bought the Creative Livecam Sync 4K webcam so I will double check it for you when I get it unboxed and begin filming it.
@@Andyhhhdx OK good to know.. but unfortunately I need to decide right now if it is worth getting this camera over the 922.. I can get this cam for about $45 (creative website) vs logitech 922 (about $110 on ebay) due to EOY sale etc.. Not sure how the video quality/features/audio/focus/software compared to both cameras.. What is your opinion on this?
@@TylerDurden404 What I would recommend is make sure that you've got some decent lighting ready because if you don't then neither webcam are going to look great. I guess it all comes down to budget, if you can afford the C922 and pick up some lights too then go for it. If budget is a bit tight then get the Creative webcam but purchase some lights to go along with it too. There isn't any software needed for either webcam, if you want to use the noise reduction on the microphone for the Creative webcam then you will need to install the Creative Comms Kit. I've not actually tried any software from Logitech so can't comment on it, but to actually use the C922, you can just plug it in and away you go. I did a review on a Jelly Comb webcam but actually featured the C922 in there so you can get a bit of an idea of how it looks - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CIS2qO7sEE4.html
check this out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PB9gHUnCriY.html I have just bought a creative and I think it offers better image, in particular it looks sharper and with more light. The mic of also better. Creative main weakness IMO is that it seems to lack autofocus, and close objects look horrible.
Very nice video. I too purchased the same after watching your video. But on Amazon, in description section, they mentioned "Optical Zoom 3X". I did not see any setting to zoom it 3x. Can we zoom to 3x?
Hello there Next Step, thank you for checking out the video. I'm afraid the Amazon description is wrong as there is no optical zoom on this. You may be able to use OBS and digitally zoom in (I'm not 100% sure you can do this) but there is definitely no optical zoom on it.
Hello there. There's no mention of it being compatible with android i'm afraid so i'm going to presume that it won't work. I've actually still got the webcam so i've just connected it to our smart TV and went through the sources and nothing was detected so i'm pretty sure it's only compatible with Windows and Mac OS.
Hello there. There isn't any optical zoom on the V2. You may be able to use OBS and get it to digitally zoom, but there isn't any inbuilt zoom on the webcam unfortunately.
From what we've tested so far, I think this would be a really good choice. I know it's dropped to £24.99 in the UK and someone came into our live stream today and said they got theirs for 25 euro. You will want to put a light on yourself and manually adjust the exposure settings but this is what you would need to do with pretty much any webcam. This link should take you to your counties Amazon store to check how much the webcam currently is - geni.us/t6ygG Hope this helps.
@@Andyhhhdx im from Poland and this webcam cost 200zł (~36£). Im looking for the best one in this budget for video chatting and amatour streaming. Your videos made me opinion this creative cam is better than others (in this budget ofc).
@@Kenzziessd I personally think it's a good webcam for the money. If you need to use the microphone on it then you will want to install the Creative Comms Kit and the microphone will sound really good. Obviously not as good as a stand alone microphone, but for a webcam, it's one of the best ones we've tested. As long as you don't go in buying it expecting mirrorless camera quality, then it will be good enough, especially if you're live streaming and shrinking the camera frame down too.
Hello there :) As far as i'm aware it is only supported on Windows and Mac OS. If I do come across any other info of it working on Linux then i'll drop you a message here.
@@steve101968 Hope it works well for you. I have seen this video showing the Creative webcam (I believe it's the V1) working on Linux using QTcam. I don't use Linux myself so you may have more of an idea about QTcam than what I do - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jH9NP9Ek0tE.html
