Selected User Reviews For Playstation HD Camera, Black

I don't have a PSVR, but worse, I don't have a voice chat function! My previous 2 PS4 cameras were a big step forward in terms of functionality, and this new one is a huge step backward
3/5

I will explain, on the older cameras, they did not only work perfectly with Playstation VR, but you could also use them to chat, rather than using a head set, and have your voice output to your television at the same time as broadcasting. As far as I can tell, PlayStation has removed these features completely, and now this camera is solely for streaming or broadcasting of your image only. On the previous version for the PS4, you were able to not only broadcast yourself, but you could also use the PS VR with hands free communication without a microphone. The app does none of these things and basically only allows you to remove the background when you stream pictures. It is my hope that this clears up any confusion folks may have had about this device and that these actions will help you to lower your expectations. This is the reason why I was highly disappointed since I expected it to behave the same or even the same as It will be a long time until I return.

For most gamers, it's not for them
3/5

A camera bought before launch and before it was reviewed by the various reviewers (who were sent the camera by Sony) because of its many limitations. The first thing that Sony should have done is advertise this for what it is not and what it is. Unlike the PlayStation Camera on the PS4, it is not intended to replace it. With PSVR, it will not work, and you will get a message in the PS5 saying you need to connect the camera before you can play. It is only possible to stream on Twitch or YouTube as of the time of writing. Since I'm not a streamer, I found a single review from a streamer who stated that the quality wasn't stellar at 1080p but that there were better alternatives he would utilize. The software provides a focus feature that allows game players to be highlighted. It also works OK Even I had a poor image even when going through the setup in a bright room six feet or seven feet away. I realize that this camera might not be updated in the future, so again it seems like a missed opportunity. As the vast majority of gamers will not find this to their liking, I had to return it.

This is a good camera for streaming
5/5



As for the image quality, here's a quick look The Light Detection System 3- MICROPHONE A 0* - As a whole NOTE 4
There is no such thing as an average overall. It looks really good. My favorite part of this is the image quality. If you are a first-time PS5 streamer, it is more than adequate for the most part whether or not you stream directly from your In addition to the improved picture quality, it is also a vast improvement over the previous camera generation. It seemed that here it was about average when it came to light detection. Light sources must be of good quality for this to function properly. In the same way, Playstation 3 cameras were inferior to previous models. If you are looking for a light to groom your personnel, I recommend any of the streaming lights It appears that there are many options to choose from. It is therefore highly recommended that you use these lights in order to ensure optimal image quality when streaming. -No microphone -Well, that's not the case. It does not seem like a bad thing to me. It is a mic on the PS controller, and those of you who remember the last generation cameras can attest to how annoying it was to not muffle the mic. There was also no easy way to muffle the sound. If you want it muted, you can turn it off in your system settings. The majority of us use headsets that include a microphone. As a result, I see no reason to complain about the lack of a microphone. I actually think it's a positive change since there are much better options available now. In the event that you have been streaming direct from the Playstation and are deciding between a laptop and a Logitech cam or staying with the PS5, I would recommend the laptop.

It is difficult to read the picture because of the terrible It has a great design and a great look
3/5

However, it has poor camera quality. I believe we should be honest you do not buy this camera based on its Despite this, the video appears extremely grainy due to this camera's difficulty capturing light. You don't want to use this camera if you have a game room with multi-colored lights like I do. It only comes out well when the lights are white and bright, and even then it's not the best. Although it is easy to set up, the PS5 takes you through the process step by step, it is not the best camera if you want to stream. The quality of the pictures is not up to par. Additionally, I have to mention that this camera does not work on newer televisions because of how it is designed to clamp on to an object. You will be able to use this cam with a TV that is only 1inch in thickness or less, but most TVs are 2inches in thickness from the top which will not be compatible. Please accept my sincerest thanks for your assistance.

This is the worst accessory on the PS5
3/5

It would be possible to activate and use it as wireless navigation by speaking instructions into it and activating it like the PS4 camera would. Unfortunately, it does not do anything! I spent my money in vain.

That's it
5/5

Plug the PS5 into it and you're done. Worked immediately and is a smooth 1080p 60 fps. It does not feel cheap, it is a substantial device. You can clip it on top of the TV or even on the PS5. It's adjustable so you can move it around. If you wish to use a microphone, you will have to use the Dualsense which does have one or use a headset with a mic. Sony has set it up so that you can broadcast via Twitch or Youtube with the click of a It's the best way for me to stream because I can avoid OBS/Streamlabs, etc. If you're interested in streaming gameplay, the Sony PS5 Camera is worth considering.

This headset is so cool! My brother is crazy about it! As a gift, I bought this item for my brother, he is absolutely thrilled
4/5

Streaming on Twitch is what he does all the time. There are better cameras out there for the price, but if you want to stream live directly from your PS5 without a capture card this should be on your list. I would give it 5 stars, but Sony does not allow you to use other cameras with the PS5. Using a USB camera, which can be pretty much any camera you have lying around, is only available on the Xbox Series X. It's time for Sony to step up! Take control of the situation.
