Camera Specifications

• Sensor: 4K Sony Starvis sensor with 70% larger pixels than the previous Brio 4K webcam. Though the exact sensor size is unspecified, larger pixels typically improve performance in low-light conditions.
• Lens: f/2.0 aperture lens with a 90-degree field of view (cropping down to 78 or 65 degrees). While wide, it allows slightly less light in compared to competitors like the Kiyo Pro Ultra’s f/1.7 lens, potentially affecting low-light performance.

The Logitech MX Brio stands out as a premium webcam, particularly appealing to content creators and professionals who prioritize 4K video quality, versatile features, and a well-built design. Its Show Mode, magnetic mounting, and integration of advanced features, such as the microphone array, set it apart from competitors, though its low-light performance could be affected by its f/2.0 lens.
