The only webcam that shoots true 4K at 60fps — built for streamers who treat the camera like a cinema lens, not a checkbox on a spec sheet.

Elgato Facecam Pro

Elgato

Unmatched detail and manual control for serious creators — but no mic, no privacy cover, and $300 for resolution most calls will never pass through.

The Facecam Pro is what you buy when the camera is part of your craft, not an afterthought. It's the only mainstream webcam that captures true 4K at 60fps, with uncompressed 1080p60 output and a large Sony STARVIS sensor behind Elgato's Premium autofocus lens — the result is the cleanest, most detailed image in the category. The real power, though, is in Camera Hub: full manual control over ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and digital pan/tilt/zoom, all saved to onboard memory so your look travels with the camera. What you give up is everything aimed at casual users. There's no microphone, no privacy shutter in the box, it's bulky on top of a monitor, and at $300 it's the most expensive cam here. For a streamer or creator who already runs a dedicated mic and wants maximum image quality and control, nothing else comes close. For a meetings-first buyer, it's far more camera than the apps can use.
