I've had to talk myself out of pulling the trigger on this several times. It's such an obvious level-up compared to how horrible most webcams are – but I just don't need it, and I'm unlikely to use the camera for anything else.

I did spring for a nice software-controlled key light[0], and it makes a huge difference. It basically compensates for the fact that my home-office location has the worst lighting conditions, with a bright window directly behind me and another to one side.
