PlayStation 5 HD Camera Vrs PlayStation 4 HD Camera

I previously owned the previous 2 cameras for PlayStation 4, but this one seems to be a step back in terms of functionality.

PlayStation has removed some of the previous features completely and this camera now is solely for streaming/broadcasting only your image. In the previous version of the PlayStation 4 HD Camera, you could not only broadcast yourself but you could chat hands-free without a microphone/ headset and use it with PlayStation VR ( virtual reality).

The new PlayStation 5 camera does none of that and is basically only good for removing the background when you stream your image…

Pros and cons

Pros:
1. You can remove the background during your stream and focus all the attention on yourself.

2. Generally you can stream Full HD images, so your viewers on twitch or Youtube do not miss any action and enjoy detailed images.

3. With the adjustable stand, you can set up the camera so you’re properly visible on the screen.
You can only use this webcam on the PlayStation 5 and not on a computer or some other device.

Cons:

  1. This camera will NOT work with PSVR and in fact, when playing PSVR the PS5 will give a message saying you still need to connect the camera.

2 This camera is ONLY supporting one feature, streaming on Twitch or YouTube. As I’m not a streamer I looked up a single review from a streamer showing the quality was okay at 1080p but for the price, there were better alternatives in the market.

  1. This camera struggles to pick up light and the video is extremely grainy.
  2. It is a bit pricy on the side, I would have expected much better image quality. The only neat thing about this is that it has 2 sensors.
  3. The highest resolution it supports is 5148×1088 at 30 fps. There’s also no flash on the camera so you better have a well-illuminated room.

6. Video quality is not in 4k like some of the cameras on the market.
