• What’s On My Desk? 2022 Desk Setup Tour

  I resisted getting a dedicated webcam for the longest time and always used my laptop's camera for calls and stuff. It worked well for some time, but the quality of a 720p built-in webcam sucks. So I put on my ‘grown-up man’ pants and bought a webcam. I got the Logitech Streamcam and have been very happy with it. It’s a 1080p camera (unlike most which are 720p) that connects via USB-C and has outstanding image... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Webcam + Microphone recommendation for a Home office?

  If you don’t have an iPhone to use with Continuity, and are willing to upgrade the rest of your office to match, then perhaps I will recommend Opal : https://opalcamera.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• My Experience With the Opal C1 Webcam

  Back in May 2022, I finally got my invite to order the long-awaited Opal C1 webcam. I was waiting for something to replace my Logitech Brio 4K, thinking I would get better image quality. However, after unboxing the camera, plugging it in and installing the required software, and experimenting with it, my enthusiasm vanished. After months of experimenting with an experimental product, here are my observations and... Source: over 1 year ago

• Webcam recommendations … please?

  How soon do you need it a webcam? The Opal C1 is a very nice camera, but the wait list is long; you could run Camo to use your phone as an camera or wait for the Continuity Camera updates in Ventura to use an iPhone. Source: over 1 year ago

• Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know about photography or cameras! Don't be shy! Newbies welcome!

  Not a question, but I have an Opal C1 invite code if anyone wants it. I am eagerly awaiting this product, but this release is Mac-only and I'm all Windows. If you haven't heard of it, it's a webcam with a 4K mirrorless Sony sensor for $300 that looks like a Canon EOS R that costs $2,000 more, plus a beamforming mic array with AI noise reduction. There's a huge waitlist so I'm bummed that my name got called and I... Source: about 2 years ago

• Use higher quality webcams for Krystal and Saagar when they are not in the studio.

  I strongly encourage them to consider upping their webcam game with something like a high quality logitech webcam or Opal C1 or even those newer Macbooks has pretty decent webcams with little noise for those times when they are not in studio. Source: about 2 years ago
