Is Logitech changing the webcam standard with the Brio 500 series?



To address issues including “unflattering camera angles, bad illumination, and field-of-view constraints,” Logitech announced the Brio 500 series webcams. With numerous fields of view ranging from 65 to 90 degrees, the automatic light adjustment provided by the RightLight 4, and a magnetic mounting system, the Brio 500 models make it simple to choose the ideal obliqueness for your face.

The cylindrical Brio 500, unlike the original Brio 4K model, supports 1080p at 30 frames per second or 720 at 60 frames per second, albeit a new 4-megapixel sensor is said to deliver better image quality. The new privacy shutter, which is controlled by a crank on the right side of the webcam, is a welcome addition. One more is “Show Mode,” which enables others to see your desk during a presentation. It has two beamforming, noise-canceling microphones as well as “Right Sight” auto-framing, which keeps you in the center of the picture. A plastic clamp on the mount has a magnetic attachment on top that connects to another magnet at the bottom of the webcam, but some reviewers found the bond to be a little flimsy.

Starting at $130, the Brio 500 is now offered in black, rose, and off-white. The new Zone Vibe 100 (Bluetooth) and 125 (Bluetooth and USB receiver) headphones from Logitech are also available in the same colors and start at $100 for the black Zone Vibe 100 model and $130 for the black Zone Vibe 125 model.
