Home / Hot Stuff / Logitech’s new 4K live-streaming webcam packs plenty of features, but is it worth the price?

Logitech has decided to up the ante on its live-streaming webcam with the latest model – the Mevo Core. We’re talking 4K resolution so you can see every pixel of glory and, unfortunately, every pore on your face. It’s the more sophisticated sibling in the Mevo line-up, letting you beam your content directly to the adoring masses on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook without a hitch. And for those who like to meticulously edit their content before unleashing it onto the world, you can also record and upload later.

Before you rush off to throw your wallet at Logitech, you’ll need a lens since it ships as a glorified paperweight without one. Logitech casually mentions that any Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens will do the trick. The Mevo Core is noticeably chunkier than its predecessor, weighing in at 1.5 lbs. This webcam packs a large 4/3 CMOS sensor, promising less noise, better low-light performance, and a depth of field so deep, you could lose yourself in it.

The Mevo Core also comes with a built-in three-microphone array featuring noise cancellation. And for the marathon streamers, it’s got a battery life of six hours, with the option to plug in an external power source for those never-ending sessions. Of course, Logitech’s Mevo Core can double as an (incredibly expensive) HD webcam, both wired and wireless.

Fancy getting your hands on Logitech’s latest webcam? The Mevo Core is available for $999 directly from the brand or from other retailers. It’s only available in the US and Canada for the time being. Of course, when you have to shell out for a lens, the total price gets a bit heftier. And since the 1080p Mevo Start is almost a third of the price, that might be more compelling.
