The webcams on the current line of Surface products are nothing to write home about, but Microsoft says their new Surface Book 3 and Surface Go 2 are about to change the game.
Designed specifically for video conferencing in low-light conditions, the 5-megapixel sensors feature larger sensors with larger pixels and feature other optimizations for low light.
Microsoft realized this was an issue when they measured light levels at employee homes.
“It took a while to convince people that webcams—the environments that they’re used in—are really pretty low-light,” said Doug Beck, the director of engineering of A/V systems for the Microsoft Surface team.
