Is the Logitech Brio 4K better than Elgato Facecam for Zoom?

For most everyday Zoom users, the Logitech Brio 4K is the better choice. It includes a built-in microphone, autofocus, and HDR (High Dynamic Range), which is incredibly helpful for balancing tricky home-office lighting, such as a bright window behind you. Because Zoom natively caps video resolution at 720p or 1080p for almost all users, the Brio's 4K sensor is best utilized for digitally zooming in and framing your shot perfectly without losing image clarity.

The Elgato Facecam, on the other hand, is designed for streamers and enthusiasts with controlled setups. It offers stunning, uncompressed 1080p video and a fixed-focus lens that never frustratingly 'hunts' for focus when you move. However, it does not have a built-in microphone and lacks HDR, meaning you must have a separate standalone mic (or headset) and decent lighting for it to look its best.
