Paired with my shotgun Mic, it is really good quality, I am clear in both sound and video The only bad thing is the sensitivity of the focus, one slight touch and it is out of focus, other than that once it is set its amazing ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HD CAMERA *by I***B on 13 November 2025* Good quality ### ⭐ People on video call said I looked like detah warmed up! *by M***G on 3 September 2021* I was attracted to buying this streaming camera for its advertised picture quality and it's slr type shiftable focus lens ... especially my fave lens, 50mm and adjustable aperture. The camera is of a robust build quality and very easy to set up and use. However on test after test I was not impressed by the very desaturated picture quality, especially in comparison to my usual 4k webcam. I was looking for that digi-slr, natural bokeh look that I felt this lens would give me. It doesn't. As a university lecturer I bought the camera to do live streamed classes, tutorials and staff meetings. Having been off all summer, it took from July to yesterday (Sept 2nd) to genuinely road test. On arrival into a meeting my boss immediately said 'What's happened to your camera?! You look like death warmed up!' He also told me the picture at his end was very grainy and green tinged. The pic here is from my end of a test set up on Microsoft Teams. I came up to return the camera today, but the window of opportunity for that has passed. For the money, I was - I admit - suffering from over expectation. If the colour saturation was somehow adjustable, it may be a good piece of kit. As is. It will now live in it's box until I can find a use for it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mermaid 8MP USB Camera Manual Lens 5-50mm Zoom Webcam IMX179 High Definition PC Computer Camera for Windows Linux Mac Android - Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo for Windows, 2.4 GHz Wireless, Compact Mouse, 8 Multimedia and Shortcut Keys, 2-Year Battery Life, for PC, Laptop, QWERTY UK English Layout - Black - Anker Conference Speaker, Speaker PowerConf S3, Conference Microphone with 6 Mics, Enhanced Voice Pickup, 24H Call Time, App Control, USB C, Compatible with Unified Communications Platforms --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/245716979-mermaid-8mp-usb-camera-manual-lens-5-50mm-zoom-webcam](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/245716979-mermaid-8mp-usb-camera-manual-lens-5-50mm-zoom-webcam) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
