Overall ratingGood76/100
Very good84/100
- Low price
- Good picture quality
- Solid sound reproduction
- Connection cable permanently installed
- Ambient noise is only moderately suppressed
In the test, the Microsoft LifeCam Studio proves to be an inexpensive and good webcam that cannot, however, set any highlights. In addition to good image quality, it also offers convincing microphone quality. However, ambient noise is only insufficiently filtered out. However, the LifeCam Studio is well suited for conference programmes such as Skype or Zoom.
Without ratingNo rating
With a street price of just under 70 euros, the LifeCam Studio is no bargain. But if you value high quality and extras, you can get one.
