Recommendation for a high-quality webcam for Linux
I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.
Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.
I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.

I recently purchased the Anker PowerConf C200 2K webcam and it has been great on Linux. Crisp image and no issues with focusing. It's currently on sale at Amazon
I recently found out about Anker and I bought a wired ergonomic vertical mouse as I had been experiencing wrist pain recently. High quality for a very low price point, and from the looks of it most of their products are like that. Also helped with the wrist pain!
Dunno why you got a down vote,vote what you're saying aligns with my experience with Anker products as well
I as well use a Anker powerconf camera and it's fantastic... But you will need a windows machine if you want to modify firmware settings on it as their control app runs in windows. It does seem that once you modify those settings they are persistent within the hardware itself though and once you move it back to the Linux machine it should all be preserved.
Of course it's possible someone has already closed that gap out already or maybe the app runs in wine.
I've been able to use cameractrls from flat hub to control it
Nice thanks for that. I've been pretty happy with it right out of the box and haven't really needed to do much to it, but nice to know there are options.
