The short version
The Facecam MK.2 is Elgato's 1080p webcam, capturing uncompressed 1080p at 60 fps and 720p at up to 120 fps with HDR at 1080p30, a fixed-focus lens for 30–120 cm, a built-in privacy shutter and onboard setting storage. PC Gamer scored it highly for its HDR image and focus that never hunts, while Tom's Hardware is unimpressed by the HDR and finds the plastic body cheap-feeling. It has no microphone. It suits streamers who want smooth uncompressed video and use a separate mic.

PositiveAwards 90 for an impressive HDR picture, uncompressed 1080p60 and focus that does not hunt, while noting the price and that AI effects require Nvidia hardware.

MixedConsiders it sensible value for uncompressed 1080p/60 with handy on-camera memory and a sliding shutter, but was unimpressed by its HDR and by a large plastic body that feels inexpensive.

Common questions
Does the Facecam MK.2 have a microphone?
No. Tom's Hardware confirms there is no built-in mic, so you will need a separate microphone.
Does it have autofocus?
No. Elgato's Prime Lens is fixed focus, tuned for a 30 to 120 cm range, which PC Gamer finds stops it from hunting for focus.
Does it need USB 3.0?
Elgato lists USB 3.0 for uncompressed video, though it also lists USB 2.0 compatibility for lower modes.
