Review #201753 about “Surface Camera Front”
Author: Rysbek
Webcam: Surface Camera Front
Rating: Average (3 out of 5)
Date:
Advantages of the webcam:
720p HD resolution which provides clear video for calls. Windows Hello support, allowing for fast and secure facial recognition login. Good performance in low-light conditions compared to many other integrated laptop cameras. Natural color reproduction and sharp focus.
Disadvantages of the webcam:
Limited to 720p, while many newer laptops are moving toward 1080p. No physical privacy shutter (you have to rely on the software/LED indicator). Fixed focus, which means you can't manually adjust the sharpness for objects very close to the lens.
Author’s comment:
Overall, it’s a reliable camera for daily meetings and schoolwork, though a 1080p upgrade would be a welcome improvement for future models.
