10 Best Webcams 2024 | UK Photographer Reviewed

Logitech is certainly leading the way in the webcam arena and their latest offering, the C922, keeps that trend going. It has 1080p and 720p resolution, available at 30 FPS and 60 FPS respectively. If you're looking to stream whilst gaming, you'll love the automatic low-light reduction and background removal background. 

Similarly, those who need to hold regular conference calls will find the stereo mic and noise cancellation technology extremely beneficial. Most importantly, it works on all of the major operating systems. Because everyone can get something out of this webcam, it just had to take our number 1 spot! 

If you're looking for something cheap and cheerful that will just get the job done without any fuss, then the C270 is certainly the camera for you. It boasts extremely respectable technology for such a low price, plus it has a wonderfully minimalist design.

So, what are the tech specs? Well, this device provides 720p at 30 FPS which is more than enough quality for casual camera chats. Best of all, it uses Logitech's "RightLight" technology to give you decent image quality even in low light conditions. For value for money, this is without a doubt one of our favourite webcams.

Can it be... a top-quality 1080p camera, at a budget price? Yes is the answer! This offering from Auckley will supply you with top of the line recordings and live stream capabilities at 30 FPS, for under £50. It also uses a fixed lens that will keep everything in focus up to the range of 5m.

We love the fact that the camera can either be clipped to the top of your computer or it can stand comfortably on most surfaces. Additionally, it's compatible with a whole range of operating systems!

This isn't the most stylish webcam around - in fact, we think it looks like a tiny CCTV camera! But if you're looking to make recordings at 1080p or video conference calls at 720p, it's ideal.

One of this device's best features is the 360-degree rotation capability of the camera, which is just what you need when giving presentations online. It also uses Microsoft's "Truecolour" technology to balance the brightness and saturation, resulting in the highest quality images. 

If you're looking for a good all-rounder that's suitable for streaming your gaming sessions as well as catching up with family, you can't go wrong with the Razer Kiyo! The lens even has a built-in light that'll make sure you're looking your best at all times, with the colour temperature set to mimic natural outdoor lighting. 

Furthermore, it has a reliable auto-focus and the image quality is great, with both resolutions working at decent frame rates. It's not the cheapest webcam out there, but we think it's definitely worth the price. 

As the name of this webcam suggests, it's primarily aimed at those of you who are content creators - gamers, vloggers, musicians, you name it! The camera can film in two video modes, horizontal and vertical, allowing for different angles that'll keep your viewers engaged. The microphone options allow you to choose how you want your videos to sound too, which is always handy.

The main gripe we have with this product is that it can be quite tricky to set up as the software provided by Logitech isn't aimed at tech newbies.

If you're looking for a webcam that provides HD quality video and clear, hi-fi quality sound to make sure you look and sound your best, then Logitech has got you covered. Plus, the camera comes with auto-focus, so you never have to worry about moving around as the camera will readjust itself accordingly.

Unfortunately, the image quality does suffer when using the camera at 60 FPS and 720p, so we recommend sticking to 1080p on calls. Also, whilst you can alter the settings such as contrast and brightness, you can't save them - which is a little frustrating! 

After a webcam with top-notch audio quality? The built-in microphone on this device is not only superb, but it comes with noise-cancelling technology too, so your listener will hear your voice clearly without any distracting background noise. 

In addition, this product has 1080p resolution and 30 FPS, ensuring that video calls will go smoothly. The clip-on base design also makes setting up incredibly easy. The only downside is that it doesn't sync up with Mac OS operating systems, so it's no good if you've got an Apple device!

If you're after a simple webcam to use when catching up with your family over Skype, then we highly recommend this device by Microsoft. It's affordable, performs 720p at very respectable 30 FPS, and has a fixed focus lens - so as long as you're in the correct range, you'll be in focus. 

A slight issue is that this device has difficulties connecting to Windows 10, which is strange considering it's a Microsoft product. If you're using Windows 7/8/8.1 though, it works like a dream!

First on our list is this Logitech BRIO webcam, which offers loads of functionality. It has the most pristine resolution currently available in the UK - a crystal clear 4K. Plus it supports 720 and 1080p too, if you need those options. Running with a high resolution of 30 or FPS, depending on your settings, it always provides sharp-looking video. 

This webcam is the top product on the market right now, but unfortunately, that also makes it very expensive. If you're looking for something to use for big business meetings, then it's perfect. For a weekly catch-up with your nan though, you'll probably prefer to pick one up that's a little cheaper.
