Logitech

The latest camera from Logitech is a professional webcam called the Brio 505. It’s a plug-and-play USB-connected webcam with 1080p capabilities. The camera features a new show mode that looks ideal for live-streaming applications because it allows you to tilt the camera down to show sketches and work on a tabletop. Logitech is also showing off the StreamCam at CES this year which also costs roughly $129. The StreamCam features a simple rotation that can switch from widescreen mode (16:9) and portrait mode (9:16). As more content is made for vertical video applications, the StreamCam is ideal for live streaming. The StreamCam also features an impressive 60 frames per second.
