N newline NewEye62, 4K 30 fps and 1080p 60 fps, PDAF autofocus, 79 degrees review

The only webcam here to publish two resolution-and-rate combinations and a named autofocus system, with a stated microphone pickup distance of three metres.

The bottom line The most completely specified webcam on this shelf: two mode pairings, a named autofocus method, a pickup distance and light correction. What it never says is how it attaches to anything.

On the listing

4K at 30 fps and 1080p at 60 fps with 12 megapixels, claimed to capture every detail without distortion; two noise-reducing stereo microphones, one on each side, with a stated recording distance of 3 m; updated dual autofocus using PDAF and CDAF, with PDAF said to focus faster and in under a second; plug-and-play USB with a webcam cover included; automatic HD brightness correction with a 79 degree field of view; and broad compatibility named for Windows 7 through 11, macOS 10.10 or later, Linux and Android.

Two pairings, published

4K at 30. 1080p at 60. No other camera on this shelf publishes more than one combination, and three publish a resolution with no rate at all.

The choice matters more than the pixel count. Sixty frames a second is what makes a gesture look like a gesture, and most conferencing services throw 4K away before it reaches anyone. Having both stated is what lets a buyer pick the right one.

The autofocus is named, not just claimed

PDAF and CDAF, with an explanation of why the first is faster: phase detection works out which way to move before moving, where contrast detection hunts. The third bullet claims focus in about a second.

Five of the seven cameras on this shelf publish no focus arrangement whatever, and two are fixed focus. Holding a document up to those does not work.

A microphone distance, which nobody else gives

Three metres, stated. Every other listing here says noise cancelling and stops. A distance is the figure that tells you whether the camera hears a room or a seat.

What is missing, and one oddity

No mount. Not a clip, not a thread, not a stand, in six bullets.

And the bullets are written in mixed languages — one of them opens in Spanish on a German listing, which is reported here because it is what the page contains.

Availability

Between 40 € and 45 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.

The British Amazon store carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

Listed in the American Amazon catalogue with nothing on sale against the entry: the camera has a page there and no seller behind it.

What it does well, and what it gives up

Strengths

  • Two published combinations, 4K 30 and 1080p 60, where every other camera here publishes one or none
  • Names its autofocus methods, PDAF and CDAF, and claims focus in a second
  • Publishes a microphone pickup distance, 3 m, which no other listing on this shelf does

Compromises

  • No mounting arrangement described anywhere
  • The 79 degree angle is narrower than the 4K room camera on this shelf, so it frames a person rather than a table
  • Bullets are written in mixed languages, with one in Spanish on a German listing

Specifications

Resolution and frame rate combinationsTwo published: 4K at 30 fps and 1080p at 60 fps, both stated in the first bullet with 12 megapixels. It is the only camera on this shelf to publish more than one pairing, and the hub above says the rate is what decides a call
Field of view79 degrees, stated in the fifth bullet alongside the automatic brightness correction
Focus typeDual autofocus, PDAF and CDAF, stated in the third bullet with the claim that PDAF focuses faster and in under a second. Naming the method is rare on this shelf: five of the seven cameras publish no focus arrangement at all
Low-light provisionAutomatic HD brightness correction, stated in the fifth bullet as optimising the lighting for a bright, balanced picture
MicrophonesTwo noise-reducing stereo microphones, one on each side, with a stated recording distance of 3 m — the only pickup range published on this shelf
MountingNot published on the listing — six bullets cover the resolution, the microphones, the autofocus, the plug-and-play cover, the light correction and compatibility, and no clip, stand or thread is described
Privacy shutterA cover is included, stated in the fourth bullet alongside the plug-and-play USB connection

What people ask before they commit

Which is better here, 4K at 30 or 1080p at 60?

For anything with movement, 1080p at 60. Doubling the frame rate is what makes gestures and speech look natural, and most conferencing services discard 4K anyway. The 4K mode is the better choice for a still subject where the frame will be cropped afterwards. Publishing both is the useful part: this is the only camera on the shelf that lets the choice be made from the listing.

What does PDAF change over the usual autofocus?

Phase detection works out which direction to move the lens before it moves, where contrast detection hunts until the image looks sharpest. The practical result is the claim in the third bullet — focus in about a second rather than a visible search. It matters when something is held up to the camera, which is exactly when the fixed-focus cameras on this shelf fail.
