If you find your webcam to be lacking, Razer goes to the extreme with the Kiyo Pro Ultra. Razer claims it has the biggest sensor ever in a webcam. It comes equipped with a Sony 1/1.2" STARVIS 2 sensor with a 2.9μm pixel size.

This USB 3.0 plug-and-play webcam promises a DSLR level of detail and excellent low-light performance. Its f/1.7 aperture lens lets in nearly four times more light than other webcams. And it offers face tracking, auto-focus, and background blur features without needing extra software or hardware. But you can still adjust the settings to your liking in Razer Synapse. The Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra is available for US$300 (around CA$400).
