@@EposVox I always remember my Excel 2 day training back in lockdown, when the trainer didn't have a proper mic, and was using the camera from her laptop, that was framing her hair and the celling.....

Definitely impressive for the price point. Can see ePTZ being a really cool feature for people too. Good stuff!

Thanks for this video! I actually bought two Avermedia GC573's based on your recommendation a long time ago and they have worked brilliantly, now going to order two of these webcams as well.

An awesome review and video as per usual, Adam. 😆 👍 👍 As ever, I appreciatethe high level of detail and thoroughness that you go into here this is definitely going on my gear wishlist for sure. Cheers to you, my man! 🍻

Man, this looks amazing, this is the first time a webcam has actually impressed me. I wish I could afford it. Dang. Hopefully sometime soon.

Thank you so much for making this video. I was considering the brio before this simply because it works with usb 2.0 also but after seeing that it's still looks amazing when you get up really close to it, which was a concern for me, I simply can't justify NOT spending $50 more. At the time of posting this comment, the price dropped to $192 on amazon during a freak sale so it was a no brainer to grab this while I can. Thank you again for doing such a long and detailed video as it really let me see it in action and just how clear it is.

I was contemplating the Huddle, but waiting for this to drop and I'm glad it worked out as expected.

When saving settings after reboot is a feature in 2020. This is amazing news for all streamers. Jus buy it! Oh, wait, i can't...

It’s sad when something that was default in 2012 became a special feature again

Literally just purchased this today in the UK, coming from a C922. Looking forward to the upgrade! Thanks for the review.

Bitterly disappointed. Returned the camera already and bought a BRIO Stream instead. I don't know what's going on but my PW513 couldn't achieve anywhere near as clearer image as your review unit. No matter the light I threw at it. Please investigate @EposVox, think something is up...

Thank you for the video - Planning for the December & January lock down and this product may be suitable.

"You reboot your computer, they're still there when you come back-" ...Did my C922 just start sweating?

Never thought I’d be this impressed with a webcam!

Fixed focus is definitely the right choice. There is a big problem with the Razer Kiyo focus hunting. I never noticed it in the BRIO but I had a controlled setup.

I actually found this webcam yesterday and I'm pretty excited to try this out ^-^

Love the videos man!

They actually did it! I'm floored at how good the image quality is. I only figured out that it's the webcam because of the lack of bokeh. It's not "webcam good." It's actually really good.

Thank you for this review - very helpful. Not just in flagging up a decent webcam, but for explaining why the features it has are important. As an audio guy I've been bitten too many times with the buy cheap, buy twice (or even thrice in some cases) and so appreciate the info as to why spending a bit more makes sense. I'll check out your channel for other reviews, but I'd also like to see a comparison between this and an entry level "real" camera - one that would be a solid foundation for which lenses could be bought in future, but which would do an OK job in the meantime. Presumably we're talking about at least doubling the budget for such a camera?

love your room!

Great vid bro, thanks for the info

Cool video! I’ve been back and forth about buying another webcam but def is nice to have a camera that doesn’t require a capture card. I’ll give it a try!

Lol the intro though. Thanks for your review.

Great webcam from Avermedia, now I don't needa buy Sony a5100 anymore and buying two of this webcam. Great review btw 👍👍

off topic but where or how did you get that PlayStation light in the background?

Great review bud. Thanks for putting this out. We'll done once again.. 👍👍😎🙏

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN I WAS REPLACING MY WEBCAM!!!!!!! Nice vid BTW.

Not gonna lie when you said that at 3:14 . My Verbal response was WOW

What kind of filters are you using on your Sony cameras? I use A6100 w/ Sigma 16mm 1.4f, but def can’t seem to control the elgato keylight splotches on my face, & bald head. You also mentioned a filter again at 12:40 could you link me to what you quickly mentioned? Thx

Good news, as of 12/23/2021, Amazon has this listed for $132.99. I ordered one and can't wait to try it in a week or so! Thanks for the review as this somewhat validates my choice as I came across this review after making my purchase on Amazon.

@Slugbo Chowdery Looks like you are correct. Not surprising since there are so many positive reviews everywhere? I was just getting ready to buy another one, but won't do it for that price. My main beef is that it takes a dedicated USB 3.0 port and I'm all out. Guess I'll have to spend more dollars on another USB card in my PC before I buy another one of the cameras. I need to look at Epos review of the Avermedia PW3 315?

Finally something that actually saves manual settings after a reboot. That is probably the biggest frustration I have with my c922

Great review. For long term/multi use would you suggest this? Or spending more on something like a Sony ZV-1?

Love the features, especially the settings holding. I have the brio and it holds most of the settings but the auto section always resets.

this webcam looks REALLY GOOD, image quality almost matches my lumix g7 with the stock lens that came with, but definetly cant beat mine now since i got a Sigma 16mm, what a beauty of a lens. would definetly consider it as a secondary/non main focus webcam. Edit: forgot to mention that finally i manage to listen to a decent webcam mic, the rest just sound awful lol

Great review, you have sold me on this in 2024 !!!! cheers lol.

Sorry, same question as last video, what cantlinks can do 1080p60 (as opposed to 1080p30)?? Can we *please* have the details on *that*? Thank youuu

I'm almost tempted to sell off all my C920 and C922 as the prices I can get for all of them would actually fund two PW513s

Would like to know wich option provides better quality.. gopro 8/9 as a direct webcam or using a 4k camlink with a gopro 7??? Both for internal video recording and webcam stream.

what's happening with the 60fps mode is probably that the exposure time gets cut in half so you need to increase the ISO, increasing the noise level. That also means you will reduce some detail especially if you have noise reduction on which I think it has to some extent.

How exciting!!!

great review. not yet available on any of the links. i own the Cam 530 and have noticed that even though it doesn't ship with the remote, it works with it and dramatically improves the preset experience. i suspect that this will work with the Aver remote as well.

some said you needed to wait until you have a kid before you get a proper good webcam, definitely on my buying list next year :D thanks

Is there a feature called saved settings upon reboot with this camera? I have heard it's hard to implement in a webcam software. /s

Looks nice I wonder if I should just replace my brio now

Hey man! Been watching your videos a lot. Been very helpful! Wanted to know your thoughts on this. I'm choosing between the Avermedia pw513, Logitech Brio, and maybe splurge a little bit more on the Sony a5100 and work my way up to buying a Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens. After around 7 months since this video, do you still think it's the best streamer Webcam in the market? Thanks, and hope you're well!

Hi EposVox, nice video! Question: do you know when this will be available in continental Europe? Will your affiliate link work if I buy from amazon eu?

What's that PlayStation neon thing and where'd you get it? It looks so sick!

Im intrigued

The microphones in that actually surprised me. Wasn't too bad. Not as good as a real microphone, but not too bad.

Hi, can you do a full breakdown video comparison of the AVermedia PW 513 vs HuddlecamHD Pro 4k Webcam vs the Brio. Also can you give an example of how the quality would appear if standing at a distant ex: the back of your room, versus sitting directly near it behind a desktop?

Will you be covering the new AMD cards? I want to upgrade but I'm not sure if the cards will be decent when it comes to encoding

So this is definitely an improvement over what's out there. But what I really want is a webcam with a REAL LENS that can do a narrower field and more composed shots and not just a little pinhole.

Just got the Avermedia PW513, but it's incredibly noisy. I just want to use it for Zoom calls and videoconferencing. I tried adjusting the CamEngine settings, but the noisiness won't go away and the colors are a bit red on the skin tones (can't quite adjust them properly). Any suggestions?

I'm conflicted with your recent likes. You also loved the Huddlecam HD Pro so how does it compare? It has tons more features and software controls, but how is the 4k?

Really debating this over my c920!

What is the light you're using for your face? Seems effective.

I needed a webcam for the first time in years as I started a podcast during lockdown. I started with my phone using EpocCam Pro but it would just kill my phone battery and if I needed to use my phone I couldn't so I moved to my Sony A7 III but I wanted a more permanent solution so I ended up building my own using a raspberry pi and high quality camera. It's only 1080p 30fps due to the way raspberry pi works (I believe the sensor is capable of 4K) but it's super sharp. I have no knowledge of coding either and I still was able to get it to work.

Hey Epos, how does the Huddlecam Pro measure up against Avermedia513?

I really like the Wayne's world zoom. Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen, the webcam guy is back! 💕 Haha

I still have my c920 and recently got a cant link and started saving to get a Sony a6100, but It looks like this webcam will get me started just fine, i will get this instead. Thanks for the review

Looks really good. Already out of stock at every Best Buy near me.

Could you please tell me what mount/holder you use for the Logitec brio 4K web cam at 02:29 ?

Bought this and the video looked great when testing it for about a day. Then I tried to use it to record and it freezes permanently after a few seconds. Novice question - Where are you clicking to change the resolution? I want to dial it down to see if this helps.

You know if it will come to europe?

I agree - fixed focus looks great. Continuous problems with Logitech C922 and the accompanying software brought me here. You could start some sort of self help group therapy thing for reformed Logitech webcam owners.

Will the privacy shutter make everything completely black (as it should), or does it just swing slightly in front of the lens, causing light to still get in?

I'd agree on that fixed focus. Autofocus on webcams sucks.

do you know when its available in germany ?

Any idea if it's available to UK customers?

Should I get this one or the Brio?

The cam looks great.

just got one! whoop

I wish I knew where he got that Playstation neon sign from

where do I find the CamEngine software?

My frustrations with companies like Logitech (Logicool on this side of the pond) is what led me to using action cams as a substitute.

It's not for sale online anywhere in the UK!?

Picked this baby up cuz it looked really promising in your review. I set it up, but can't find the cam engine software that you show at 9:28. Should that pop up automatically when I plug it in or is that something I download?

That's too bad about the 60fps mode, would like to see one of these compared head to head capturing a pinball playfield versus.. a c920? Here's an interesting thing a family member ran into, to take a test online their license had to be in focus at the start of the recording but their webcam lacked autofocus, had to use the cam built in to a laptop to move forward. Could this requirement be fulfilled with this product?

Can you tell me how I change the resolution settings? software version is 3.4.15.1 firmware 0.0.8000.32 both the latest

I desperately need your help!?! I am building a one of a kind mobile hair salon out of a 40 ft greyhound bus. I am not using mirrors at the stations. Instead I am using 4k tv monitors with cameras. My focus is on the best webcam to make the client in the chair look great and forget that it is a monitor and not a mirror. Secondly I will be doing alot of teaching and online tutorials as I travel across the US and teach in real life to select salons. I am stuck between the Avermedia 513 and a straight hdmi out of a gopro 9. Please advise!! Cheers

The reason it looks better than the Canon VIXIA camcorders (I own an R60 but everything R2xx to present is basically the same core hardware) is the image sensors in those are all 1/4.85" sensors which is insanely small even when compared to the sensor (1/2.3"-1/2.5") in cheap point-and-shoot cameras. Even though the VIXIA camcorders have a full wide aperture of f/1.8 (1.3 stops better than this webcam) the sensor crop factor is 13.75x (versus a 1/2.3" sensor crop factor of 5.6x) so that advantage is nullified. The tiny sensor also means that diffraction becomes a problem throughout almost all of the zoom range, so everything looks soft, and the "wide" angle of a VIXIA is a 38.5mm equivalent which is a real pain for close-up uses like a webcam. Widening adapters for it are not great either. I would never ever recommend any of the ultra-cheap camcorders as webcams. The cheapies from other makers have the same issues as the VIXIA series; the Panasonic V180 has a much better wide angle (28mm) but the sensor is an insanely tiny 1/5.8", and the Sony HDR-CX405 is basically the same as the Panasonic. Unfortunately, most point-and-shoot and bridge cameras don't output clean HDMI either. You have to get a DSLR, mirrorless ILC, or premium (read: DSLR-priced) point-and-shoot to get something as simple as clean live HDMI video. It's insane. This webcam really does fill an exploding niche. I'm surprised that there isn't a whole heap of cameras like this out there.

Nice webcam, but I would love to see the software being available for Linux as well!

Wait, why isn't 60 fps on a webcam ideal? I notice the difference in smoothness fairly night and day and I feel it improves the overall experience no?
