This is Elgato's FaceCam Pro. A serious pro-grade webcam that's aimed at streamers and content creators. It packs some serious specs, including 4K 60FPS capabilities, adjustable ISO, white balance and shutter speed, intelligent autofocus and a massive field of view.
Naturally it works with Elgato's Stream Deck products too (watch until the end to see it used with the Elgato Stream Deck Plus (   • Elgato Stream Deck+ Review - Stream D...  )) and it's fully customisable in Elgato's Camera Hub too.
Out of the box it might look a bit washed out, but with a few tweaks it looks magnificent!

The FaceCam Pro is not cheap, but it certainly is awesome. You need to tweak it to get it looking good, but then it has intelligent settings that can be auto adjusted or you can set it up to tweak it on the fly with other Elgato products. Highlights are definitely the little details like being able to tweak the colour balance to account for your lighting, so you can match the colour temperature and get a natural look.

The downside I found was the autofocus can be a little bit aggressive, which results in some wobble. But you can turn that off in the software and just set a specific distance for the focus and then it'll look great. I used the FaceCam Pro throughout the video so you can see how good it looks.
