Intel RealSense SR300 review: Still the best Windows Hello webcam

The Intel RealSense F200 was the first webcam to support Windows Hello that was readily available to the public. Although the F200 was technically a development kit designed for developers, it was still a webcam and therefore functioned as such. Now however, Intel has updated their RealSense development kits with an improved, smaller and sleeker model called the SR300. Let's take a look.

For those of you paying attention, you may have already noticed that the SR300 isn't entirely new. Intel originally began shipping this new version of their RealSense webcam earlier this year under the same design as the F200, but has since relaunched the SR300 under a new design, which is the model we're reviewing here. Functionally, both SR300's are the same, with the only difference being what each webcam actually looks like.

Since the F200 was the first webcam to support Windows Hello, it was surprisingly popular with Windows Insiders and enthusiasts, so much so the devkit actually sold out at Intel's own development website. Since the webcam was a development kit however, Intel hadn't really anticipated non-developers buying their device, and as a result the F200 wasn't all that great of a webcam.
