If you\u2019re in the market for a new webcam, you can save 20 percent on one of Engadget\u2019s top picks for video calls<\/a>. The Anker PowerConf C200<\/a>, our top budget pick even at its standard price, is on sale for only $48.<\/p>\n Anker PowerConf C200 Webcam captures video in up to 2K resolution. Although 1080p will suit most people just fine (and you can lower it to that, 720p or 360p if you want), we appreciated the extra sharpness and clarity the 2K feed brought to our calls. The plug-and-play webcam has a fast autofocus and an \u0192\/2.0 aperture to let in more light and help brighten up darker scenes.<\/p>\n Anker<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Take 20 percent off Engadget\u2019s top budget webcam pick.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n $48 at Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n It has dual stereo microphones built in, and you can use its companion software (AnkerWork<\/a>) to change its pickup sensitivity from the default directional to omnidirectional (the latter for when more than one person is in your room). The webcam has a 95-degree field of view, but you can adjust it to 78 degrees if you prefer a tighter shot.<\/p>\n As far as tradeoffs, it\u2019s a surprisingly short list for this price point. The Anker C200 lacks the fancy AI framing in some of the latest flagship models<\/a>, and its cube-like shape makes it a bit more challenging than some competitors to adjust while on top of your screen. Its bundled USB-C to USB-A cable is also annoyingly short \u2014 not a big deal for laptops, but folks with standing desks or more sprawling desktop setups may need to swap it out for a longer one.<\/p>\n Follow <\/em>@EngadgetDeals<\/em><\/a> on Twitter and <\/em>subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter<\/em><\/a> for the latest tech deals and buying advice.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/uu\/api\/res\/1.2\/u1fZoElCe9T_lRv5rAc8aQ--~B\/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u\/https:\/\/media-mbst-pub-ue1.s3.amazonaws.com\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2024-06\/ba1bd070-2f32-11ef-bfdb-795e415da1ad\")
