You can tell if someone has a decent mic and good lighting will help a lot with small-sensor webcams but I can only assume some kind of DSLR is in use to get to £10k…
Stream-deck, lighting, audio interface and broadcast quality mic could be achieved <£1k.Still, for a lot of companies it would be a hard sell and the tech support would be a nightmare.

And I've just edited for the recent upgrades.
But yes, a DSLR as a webcam, actually 2 of them when I'm recording webinars as I consciously try and film to minimise direct eye contact as it makes others more comfortable and at ease, so I offset one slightly and slightly zoomed out... Kinda imagine a slightly panned out shot of a newsreader Vs a close up of the newsreader.
The other part of the cost is the speakers on the desk. A lot of people have good mics, these make the audio equipment seem transparent.

What I don't get is surely you're at the mercy of the other person's system?
If their speakers are average, or the connection is average, surely you're going to be average?
When I see me on my screen, my image looks sharp af. 80% of the time everyone else has the sheen of a 2010 camera phone.
Also is it not probably one of those things where if you know someone senior has gone hard on something, you're not going to mug them off. Instead you'll enthusiastically agree that it's great and definitely worth it.
