In for review today is Razer's latest webcam, the brand-new Razer Kiyo Pro that comes in at a pretty hefty £199.99.

Pros:

  • Excellent for both streaming and productivity.
  • Great image quality.
  • Great specifications and image sensor.
  • Brilliant build quality with Gorilla Glass 3.
  • Lots of options and adjustable field of view in Synapse software.

Cons:

  • Very large design.
  • Poor autofocus performance (can set manual focus to fix this however).

KitGuru says: We think the Kiyo Pro is an excellent high-quality webcam. HDR mode will make your calls look high quality in any business meeting or presentation. Yes, £200 is quite expensive but for a streamer that wants the best we think this is an achievable price point and worthwhile investment as it is cheaper than the DSLR route.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
