Is the Elgato Facecam MK.2 good for streaming?

The Elgato Facecam MK.2 is a camera for streaming builds, tracked at $99.99, rated 4.2 out of 5 across 1,569 retailer reviews. On its own it supports up to 1080p60, which needs about 6,000 kbps on the wire. Against its 12-month tracked average of $115 across 12 points, today's price is 13% below. It is used in 11 build guides on StreamPartPicker. Nothing here is lab-tested by us; that ceiling is a planning budget from our published model.
