Elgato Facecam MK.2
An enthusiast-tier webcam delivering uncompressed 1080p60 with HDR, onboard PTZ controls, and a Sony STARVIS sensor — built specifically for streaming. It's a capable streaming camera, though one that's capped at 1080p. It tops out at 1080p, so 4K shooters should skip it; the Kiyo Pro Ultra and MX Brio reach 4K if higher resolution is the priority.
