Remember the 1988 movie “Twins” with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DaVito? This is a bit like that.
The past few weeks have seen the introduction of a two new webcams. From a distance these two items seem in some ways very similar. Looking closer, there are also some significant differences.
You might recall my ongoing lament about the lack of innovation in what we now laughably call webcams. If not, here’s a brief refresher…the current state of the art in consumer webcams (IMHO, the Logitech C920 & 930e, released in 2012 & 2013 respectively) are getting quite vintage. Where are the newer models that address current technological front lines, like USB 3.0, 4K resolution, VP9, HEVC, etc?
Well, there appears to be some movement in this area. Although, while interesting, it’s probably not what you expect.
