On field of view there is little in it, 100 deg on the Anker PowerConf C302 versus 110 deg on the ViewSonic VB-CAM-001. They differ on autofocus type too, AI Auto-Framing on the Anker PowerConf C302 versus Fixed Focus on the ViewSonic VB-CAM-001.

Anker PowerConf C302 vs ViewSonic VB-CAM-001: which one fits your build
Buy the Anker PowerConf C302 for hybrid meeting rooms with changing attendees and small teams wanting AI auto-framing, though it is not the pick for buyers wanting true 4K resolution and solo streamers wanting high frame rates. The ViewSonic VB-CAM-001 suits wide monitor setups needing a full-desk field of view and home offices with noisy keyboards or HVAC systems, though it is not built for users wanting autofocus rather than fixed focus and streamers or content creators needing higher frame rates. Our rating of the Anker PowerConf C302 (7/10): A smart pick for hybrid meeting rooms where people move in and out of frame throughout a call. Our rating of the ViewSonic VB-CAM-001 (6/10): an unusually wide-lens webcam with strong noise-reduction mics, aimed at monitor-top conferencing setups.
