tempted to buy the C1 seeing the Lumina now... and btw love the brutal honesty. sick and tired of reviews that are fakely energetic and land nowhere on a comparision
I bought the opal but discovered it doesn’t work on my employer’s video conference system (Amazon Chime) so I asked to return it but strangely they refunded me but told me to keep it. Saw an ad for the Lumina so checked out this video, which unsurprisingly convinced me not to order it. Loved this guy’s shrugs, most honest feeling review I’ve ever seen.
Hey Jack, thanks for the honest review. I just ordered the Lumia from a recommendation but after watching reviews I've decided to canceled the order, it will cost over $300 AUD with import tax and so on in Australia. Personally I don't think it's worth the money. BTW the built in webcam on the Mac is way better than any other built in laptop webcam, I'm using X1 Carbon Gen 9 and it's nowhere near the quality from a Mac. So don't be too harsh on your M1 :)
Love how anyone and everyone is trying to shit people with this fucking AI tag … either you have the sensor and the light and the right algorithms to manage white balance and whatever else you wanna do or not. AI isn't going to add pixel size or light magically to your webcam and make it good just because. Some companies these days

Well thanks! I’m not a RUclipsr, just a regular old guy 🤷🏼♂️
The LG 5K webcam looks surprisingly good. And I just got my Opal C1 invite, this comparison convinced me that it would be a worthwhile purchase.

It will definitely be interesting to see how Apple's Continuity Camera will compare to these options.
Dang C1 crushed, I think. Good stuff, it's reinforced that i should wait for the C1...
I am surprised how natural LG's webcam looks
Thanks so much for this!
Glad it was helpful!
So 2 months, later, which are you using regularly? Gotta say, the built in LG looks pretty good!
Mostly the LG, though the software for the C1 did improve it a bit.

iPhone as webcam is even better
I’m glad I didn’t buy the lumina and waited for my opal order.
Is this better than the logi tech brio
Yeah definitely.
that LG webcam destroyed everything.

Terrible framerate/shutter speedon the Lumina! All smeary! Looks like the built-in in my Asus work laptop.
Lumina looks twice better than Opal C1… Opal looks too yellow
no audio test? would be nice to hear the Opal microphone system. or did I miss it?
At the time of recording the mic wasn’t enabled by software yet. It has since been, but sounds like a tin can underwater.
@@jackmcdade LOL thanks for the info and the reply!
