Dont buy a 4k webcam to create content

If you’re planning to create content, do not waste your money on a 4K webcam.

We record content for business owners all over the country, and the number one piece of equipment we never recommend anymore is a webcam.

Here’s why.

A webcam is designed for meetings, not content creation.

Most webcams have a tiny sensor. That sensor is what actually determines video quality, not the “4K” or “8K” label slapped on the box.

Resolution only tells you how big the video is.

It does not tell you how good it looks.

You can buy a 720p real camera that will outperform a “4K” webcam every single time.

Because the sensor is bigger.

It captures more light.

It captures more detail.

And the footage actually looks clean.

Companies use 4K and 8K as marketing terms because they sound good.

Its simple.

This is why your iPhone will always look better than even the “best” webcam out there.

So for content creation, the answer is easy.

Do not use a webcam.

Use your iPhone. or If you can just get an entry level camera like sony zv-e10

The only time you should buy a webcam is if you want to make your Zoom meetings look nicer or if your computer doesn’t already have one.

But for content, avoid webcams completely.

Your iPhone will give you far better quality and a far better result.
