Elgato’s Cam Link is webcam overkill, but I like it

The Elgato Cam Link is a small USB dongle with an HDMI port that can turn nearly any camera into a webcam. This new device is $130, and it is available now from online retailers like Amazon. While plenty of video creators and Twitch broadcasters are happy with their Logitech C920 (widely regarded as the best USB webcam on the market), those looking to step up their production quality can now do so without spending thousands of dollars.

Elgato is introducing the Cam Link as part of its recent efforts to expand its product link aimed at game broadcasters. It already has its HD60 capture cards, the Stream Deck command center, and a green screen — and now the Cam Link fills out that lineup.
