Also, most upscale video capture cards for use with analog cameras can produce 1920x1080 at 60 frames per second. And yes, just like the porn industry has discovered, when this degree of HD becomes commonplace it will be necessary to check for every ingrown pubic hair !!!
I won't elaborate along these lines either, other than to point out that in my own experience at least, 'upscale' customers are attracted to 'upscale' webcam offerings. That Sony servo base tripod will definitely be a step in the right direction !!! And the Sony HDR-TD20V camera, with it's insane 20 megapixel specs, would be a perfect match for it. However, in my own situation, where the amount of camming do is now very limited and more or less 'spontaneous', I want something that can still produce 'upscale' quality video streaming without having to set up anything more elaborate than my laptop, a USB 3.0 cable, and my camera. My USB 3.0 Flea 3 camera gives me that capability.
While the low cost of LogiTech webcams makes them very popular with girls on a budget, indeed they are currently incapable of producing an 'upscale' webcam offering ... due in large part to the lack of pan, tilt, and hardware zoom capability plus de-facto limitation of 480p video streaming, or 720p video with hiccups, at acceptable frame rates for all but the two most recent offerings. Agreed that LogiTech and other 'consumer' webcams have been getting better lately ( Zeiss lenses, hardware based video encoding to try and cram quasi-1080p down a slow USB 2.0 connection etc. ), and may be a 'force to be reckoned with' once they offer new models with 1080p unencoded video capability at 60 frames per second via bug-free USB 3.0 capability.
