Elgato's new webcam can mount lens filters
The camera integrates with any 49mm lens filter , which opens up a world of potential. Folks could attach, say, a circular polarizing (CPL) filter to reduce reflections from glasses or go crazy with cinematic effects like diffusion. The unit ships with a free CPL filter to get started, as long as you buy the camera from the official Elgato store. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

As for traditional specs, it records in 4K at up to 60 FPS and uses Sony's Starvis 2 CMOS sensor with a f/4.0 aperture and fixed focus. It connects over USB-C and weighs just 0.26 pounds.
The Facecam 4K pairs with Elgato's Camera Hub software, which offers manual control over a variety of settings. These include ISO, exposure, shutter speed, pan, tilt and zoom. It also works with the company's Prompter hardware, though that requires a replacement backplate. The company is throwing in the dedicated backplate with new Prompter purchases. For the uninitiated, the Elgato Prompter is a nifty teleprompter designed for streamers . To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

The Facecam 4K even pairs with the Switch 2 , which could make for some truly cinematic Mario Kart World reaction shots. Just update the firmware to version 2.32 or later and connect directly to the console.
Elgato's latest webcam is available right now and costs $200. This unit is similar in features to the pre-existing Facecam Pro webcam , but that one costs $300 and doesn't let people swap out lenses. It does, however, include a better sensor.

Leaked PS6 specs put the PS5 to shame and may be much cheaper than we thought
A new batch of leaks has surfaced regarding the rumored PS6 that will be music to any PlayStation fan's ears. This comes hot off the heels of the recent leaks that implied the PS6 could have a very heavy price tag based on the chipset, although there was some speculation as to whether or not that chip was actually for the PS6 and not the next Xbox console. Our latest leaks come from our old friend over at Moore's Law is Dead (MLID), who has shared what they claim to be from an AMD presentation from 2023. As always, MLID goes into all the nitty-gritty details of the chips, compte units, bits, and other technical jargon if you want the full deep dive. If not, the most important takeaways here are that the PS6, which is codenamed 'Orion', will reportedly be 3x faster than the base PS5 and draw less power. But the real bit of juicy info is that MLID thinks that the specifications outlined here mean Sony would be able to keep the price at around $500. Further details state that the PS6 will be comparable to an RTX 4080 in terms of performance, with better Ray Tracing, full backwards compatibility with the PS5 and PS4, and plans to begin manufacturing in late 2027. If all these specs are true, we could see games run at 4K 60FPS or 8K 60 on the PlayStation 6 thanks to PSSR. Recommended Videos Now, before we get too excited about all this, remember that these are still just leaks. While MLID has proven to be reliable in the past, it is important to always take information like this with a grain of salt, and that is especially true here since the information claims to be from 2023. Even if it is legitimate, a lot could have changed in the two years since. Still, this new price estimate is far more palatable than the previous one that breached $1,000.

Amazon Deals of the Day: Over 20% Off the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro AI Earbuds
Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across many categories, including home essentials, tech and furniture. Lucky for us, the retail giant loves cutting prices as much as it loves adding new products. However, deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job, but we've done the heavy lifting, hand-picking the top markdowns from the bunch. Today, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro AI earbuds are $60 off. We also spotted the Anker 521 power station at a record low price and the Chefman countertop microwave for over 30% off. Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro AI earbuds: $190 (save $60) See at Amazon A good pair of earbuds can make a world of difference, and our experts think that the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro AI earbuds are better than the AirPod Pros, at least in some ways. These earbuds are lightweight and have a redesigned fit for super comfortable wear. They're also IPX7 water-resistant, so you won't have to worry about rain or a little moisture. And if you live or work somewhere noisy, the active noise cancellation will allow you to hear your audio without distractions. Best of all, the battery lasts up to 8 hours, 18 hours with the included charging case. These earbuds would normally run you $250. But for a limited time, you can pick them up for $190. It's not the lowest price we've seen, but it's still a good deal. Anker 521 portable power station: $160 (save $60) See at Amazon Being without power can be a big problem, unless you have a generator like the Anker 521 portable power station. The Anker 521 has tons of ports, including two AC outlets, two USB-A output ports, one USB-C port and a 12-volt car outlet. This unit can power devices at up to 60W, which is enough for most laptops and plenty for phones and tablets. The station can be charged in less than three hours, and the display screen indicates the remaining power supply. The Anker 521 is usually listed at $220. But a nice 27% discount reduces it to a record-low price of $160. Chefman 0.7 cubic foot countertop microwave: $65 (save $35) See at Amazon Microwaves are kitchen staples. Whether it's a countertop or over-the-range model, they are regularly used appliances. And the Chefman 0.7 cubic foot countertop microwave is a nice, compact option. The unit is 700 watts with 10 power levels. It also has six cooking presets for popcorn, potatoes, beverages and more. And if your dish splashes or bubbles over, the glass turntable is dishwasher safe, plus there's a child safety lock for added protection. For midnight snackers, there's even a mute button, so you don't wake up the entire house while warming up your food. The Chefman microwave is normally $100. But thanks to this 35% discount, you'll only need to shell out $65, a record-low price. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET has combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer, and we've gathered the best deals for you to check out.
