$69.99 From www.logitech.com

Features 1080p resolution at 30Hz, 70-degree field of view, privacy shutter, mono microphone, 5ft non-removable USB-C cable, 2.58 x 2.09 x 1.78in, 2.63 oz

LOGITECH'S BRIO 300 webcam is the little sibling to the company's Brio 500, and it cuts a few corners to slash the price down from $130 to $70. Yet the sacrifices have a surprisingly modest effect on picture quality, making this an impressively good-value offering.

From the outside, the Brio 300 is a lightweight, compact camera that looks attractive in each of its three colorways. There's a built-in privacy cover that slides over the lens, and its 5ft cable is non-removable. You can tilt the webcam up and down, but there's no side-to-side movement.
