Razer’s new Kiyo Pro webcam brings an adjustable field of view and a sensor that’s better than most competitors at adjusting to your lighting situation. It’s better than your laptop’s webcam, but $199 is a steep price.

The Razer Kiyo Pro is able to offer a great picture, but depending on your lighting setup you may need to dive into the settings to get it there. The lack of 4K is disappointing, removal of the ring light, and finicky nature of HDR make enjoying this camera harder than it should be for $199. Still, it offers a good picture and excellent low light performance, especially with fine tuned for your setup.
