Logitech BRIO 300 Review: The Next Generation of Webcams?

This is the Logitech BRIO 300 but  does it have what it takes to be   the rightful heir to the throne of  the Logitech C920 Pro? Let's find out! Logitech C920 has been around for a long long time  and you can't really go wrong with it now you can  

kind of tell by holding both of them like I just  did the Logitech C920 is a little bit heavier it's   got a couple of advantages it's got a 1/4" 20  mount on the base of it whereas the Logitech BRIO   300 doesn't have that but it's an older camera  it's got older firmware and anything that's built  

into the camera is going to be a bit outdated and  outmoded compared to what's in the Logitech BRIO   300. Now this one the Logitech BRIO 300 looks a  bit more modern you can see it's got kind of a   conical design it has a lighter weight to it also has a USB-C end on it as well that's fixed to  

the back of the camera so it's a bit more modern  in terms of its outward appearance the other thing   that's got that's an advantage is the privacy  shutter is built in so you can actually flip   it up and have the privacy shutter in the open  position or you can also physically close it  

to ensure that the camera is not on and  that you're not being filmed or recorded   in any way some other things that share is  kind of in common with Logitech C920 Pro   it has an indicator light to know whether or  not the camera is on and running and it also  

has a built-in microphone now we're going to  test all of these things out and see what we   can do to tweak them and also compare the images  between the C920 Pro and the Logitech BRIO 300. okay so this is the Logitech BRIO 300 um this  is what the default microphone sounds like  

this is the default image with no settings tuned  whatsoever on the camera one thing I did notice   um and this is kind of me from the future by the  way the intro I filmed a completely separate day   when I was actually editing the video between the  Logitech C920 and the BRIO 300 the Logitech C920  

creates a very pinkish purplish type of default  tone and if you try to color correct it with   a white balance it does go pretty far into the  yellow range kind of like the problems I have with   the Logitech BRIO 4K so one thing that and I'll  even put the link in the description to the video  

I fully produced it did everything to um get it  ready to publish when I created it the first time   I would say that you know this one actually does  look and sound and in a lot of ways better than   the Logitech C920 Pro but I'll let you judge  that for yourself because I'll put in some of the  

clips from the other other video another thing  that I learned while doing this was that while   I take two different separate camera feeds into  OBS both of them I had feeding into 1080p onto   a 4K canvas with both audio tracks coming in  simultaneously it didn't allow me to kind of  

create a smooth seamless experience in terms of  what the video looked like so for example you know   there was a lot of stutter a lot of dropped frames  those types of things so just to make sure that   this camera kind of can see and you'll see what  the camera can do from a performance perspective  

I re-recorded all of this quite a few days later  versus the intro that you just saw just to look at   kind of frame rates in case you do look at the  other video linked in the description you will   notice that there's no dropped frames this camera  is smooth at 30 frames per second the one thing I  

did notice with the camera that was a little bit  interesting was that it has variable frame rates   and it actually gives you a 29.97 frame rate ntsc  which is I think pretty unique not every camera   does this it also lets you 25 and 24 frames like  like classic Motion Pictures and it will even  

drop all the way down I think to 5 frames as  well but what you get with the Logitech I think   that's a little bit different than the BRIO I'd  say the sensor is probably smaller inside of it   so the you know you get a little bit of background  in my frame of a bit of background graininess that  

isn't on the C920 and in general because it's  a fixed frame there's no focusing it's there's   no autofocus in the logitin settings so you'll  see that you know from a settings perspective   you don't have all of the options that you  have on the C920 but that might actually be  

a good thing in the sense that you know it'll  be easier to set up easier to run you wouldn't   have to worry about going out of focus so again  this is the default audio and the default Framing   and kind of image from the Logitech BRIO  300 and it's got a 70 degree field of view

all right so this is the Logitech BRIO 300  and I've tuned a little bit with longitude   and software I thought the image was a little bit  bright a little bit lower on the saturation value   than I liked it so what I did was I turned  the white balance auto white balance off  

I left on the rest of the defaults um and then  for brightness I toned that down from 128 to 109.   I turned the contrast I left it kind of where  it was at at 128. the saturation I moved it up   to 140. I thought it was a little bit under  saturated and I also left the sharpness as  

it is at 128. so this is the image and the  default audio from the Logitech BRIO 300   foreign so it's still future Jeremy here in  terms of my Logitech BRIO 300 versus the C920 my   final thoughts on this camera versus the C920 I  gotta say its color balance is superior even if  

you know in the kind of the previous video that  I tried to make you know the image was a bit more   crispy I gotta say this one just from a color  perspective the images it creates the ease of   use those types of things are going to be better  the nice thing is it's still supported by Logitech  

still being sold by Logitech you can get firmware  updates you can you know use Logitune which you   can use on the C920 as well but you won't be  getting any firmware updates or anything for   that camera so is this a worthy successor to the  C920 for 60 to 70 dollars yes but I would say if  

you can afford it and you want to get a Logitech  webcam I would opt for the BRIO 500 and I would   even opt for that by the way over the BRIO 4K  because that's a really good camera as well   you can check out the review that I have for that  Logitech BRIO 500 as well as kind of how it shapes  

up and compares to some of the other Logitech  cameras so check that video out and if you like   this video be sure to give me a like and otherwise  subscribe to my channel to see more gadget reviews   and also remote working tips and things you can  do maybe to update your streams or uh post your
