Tips for purchasing external webcam webcam

[LOST TALE]

Hi, I'm looking to purchase an external webcam for interviews.

I'm looking for reliability, low blure and decent frame-rate (so it doens't look like lag). 720p is sufficient.

 

Has to be USD and work with windows. Good drivers are a must. I need reliability.

 

Adjustable FOV is a bonus (from software)

 

Embedded microphone is not needed.

Any tips and recommendations?

Whats your budget? The logitech c920s at $70 is pretty much the standard. It is 1080p 30fps.

I'd go for Logitech personally. There's a fairly standard one which keeps getting minor revisions and improvements over the years and it's very reliable, but irritatingly I forget the model number. I think it's the same one @zeusthemoose mentions.

How about a 720p 60 fps options? I think that would be better for reading facial expressions.

I have a c270 that doesn't work. Sicne it's still recommended in a 2020 top whatever article. I'm going to try to fix it.

Ok How about something other than logitech as I hate my experience with the firm?

 

Their own camera isn't working and they don't even publish the driver that works for others that others are able to roll back to.

What kind of budget are you dealing with, do you happen to already own a DSLR? I use a canon 80d with a usb to HDMI convertor that I break out when I need high quality
