Low-budget streamers or those who end up effectively 'streaming' their web conferences. People who are using Blue Yeti mics and Elgato keylights or (a directly competing product) Elgato Facecam:

https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/facecam

which is using a 1/1.8" sensor (8.8mm diagonal) at f/2.4 aperture, and this has a 1/1.2” sensor (13.33 mm diagonal) at f/1.2.

In this age of remote work, there are a lot of people who really value making a good impression - for whom the default webcam in their budget business laptop won't cut it - but don't want to have a whole DSLR-on-a-tripod streaming setup.

You're probably better off with a cheap Logitech c920 since most conference software junks the video quality down anyway.

We have some high end 1in cameras with glass zoom lenses and they look about as good even with dedicated encoding hardware.

It’s a small step up from a dated c92x to a brio which handles color and lighting much better reasonably on its own
