Dells takes a kitchen-sink approach.
It serves up 4K resolution, AI auto-framing, and an IR camera, among other features.
The results of this comparison surprised me.

Dell is not the first company to use it.
Razers Kiyo Pro also has a Sony Starvis sensor.
Dells webcam can handle 4K, however, while the Razer is limited to 1080p.

Both cameras must beat Logitechs Brio, the champion of high-end webcams.
The Brio can handle 4K, but doesnt have a Sony Starvis sensor.
You might think that puts Logitech at a disadvantage but, wellsee for yourself.

This shot was in front of a window providing natural light.
The image from the Brio looks sharper and provides a more even, accurate skin tone across my face.
It does oversaturate my red shirt, however.
Razers Kiyo Pro looks almost as sharp as the Dell, but has trouble with color and looks dull.
This first comparison provides a wide-angle with even lighting.
How do the webcams handle a darker, tighter shot?
Logitech again takes the lead.
The Brios image is a tad less bright than the Dell, but sharper.
The Dell continues to struggle with my skin tone, deciding on a look thats too warm and rosy.
Razers Kiyo Pro comes in last with a usable yet dark image that loses a lot of detail.
The results of this comparison surprised me.
The older Brio webcam captured the brightest, sharpest results.
It automatically crops the camera so your face is kept in frame.
The Dell Ultrasharp webcam also has an IR sensor that supports Windows Hello facial recognition login.
Logitechs Brio supports this, but Razers Kiyo Pro does not.
Dells Ultrasharp webcam has a durable metal shell that feels expensive.
Dells Ultrasharp webcam doesnt have its priorities straight.
Both connect to the camera with a satisfying magnetic snap.
Im not a fan of Dells recessedUSB-C connector.
It worked with the included cable, but other cables might not fit.
The one included with Razers Kiyo Pro was too thick, while another third-party USB-C cable was too wide.
This problem is unique to the Dell webcam.
Ditching it entirely seems an odd choice.
Conclusion
Dells Ultrasharp webcam doesnt have its priorities straight.
That makes for an easy choice: just buy the Logitech.
