Where are the differences?
Let's compare the two webcams Logitech C922* and Razer Kiyo* a little closer and take a look at the differences. The newer model of the two is the Razer Kiyo. The device is from the year 2017. The year of release of the Logitech C922 is 2016.
Which webcam has the higher resolution?
The resolution is one of the most important factors for a webcam and therefore elementary for the purchase decision. The two webcams Logitech C922 and Razer Kiyo do not differ at this point. Both provide a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 px (FullHD). The resolution and frame rate factors are often also a reason why an external webcam is worthwhile. With most built-in webcams in notebooks, the resolution and frame rate is quite low.
Which webcam gives the better frame rate?
This brings us to the next important factor: the frame rate, or fps (frames per second). This specification describes how many frames per second can be recorded and played back. The higher the value, the smoother the picture runs.
The maximum framerate of the two webcams is 60 fps.
However, the frame rate often varies depending on the resolution. Some devices have a higher framerate at a lower resolution. In this case, however, the maximum framerate is identical for all resolutions on both webcams.
Field of view
The larger the field of view, the more of the environment a webcam can capture. However, a larger field of view is not necessarily better, as it can also capture more privacy. This is where the two webcams differed. The field of view is not adjustable for either webcam.
Is there a microphone installed?
With most webcams, there is an integrated microphone. For streaming or when no headset is available, this is beneficial. Both the Logitech C922 and the Razer Kiyo offer an integrated microphone. However, the type differs. The Logitech C922 provides an Stereo recording. The Razer Kiyo features an recording.
Is there a tripod?
Only with the Logitech C922* you have the possibility to attach a tripod. With the Razer Kiyo you cannot do this by default. A tripod is interesting if the webcam cannot be attached directly to the screen or notebook. A tripod is also interesting for live streams.
