C920 HD Pro Webcam - Black

I bought this webcam to replace my old logitech one which was broken after many years of loving use. I was not disappointed. The product was slightly over packaged in my opinion and was not the easiest to un-package, however, it was well worth the extra effort. Pros - The clarity, crispness and quality of the video feed/photos are incredible. Stylish design, not too large/bulky. Tripod screw for attaching it to your favourite tripod. Beautiful blue LED light to let you know when your webcam is in use by an application. Great microphone/sound for videos. Lovely lighting & colour balance - The webcam performs wonderfully in low lighting and spectacularly in good lighting Fully adjustable settings via Logitech webcam launcher application to ensure you get the exact picture colour etc. that you want. Very sturdy when on the top of a thin laptop screen due to the grips on the base. Feels luxurious and premium in regards to quality of materials used to make it and in terms of weight. Cons - The "mirrored" setting you would expect to be able to use as per standard with all webcams is only able to be used on certain settings with this webcam. I have not found out entirely why that is yet, however, you can get around that via opening an application such as skype and fiddling with the settings on there once you have your main settings set up to your preferences. My main uses - Skyping my family back home and my friends here in the UK, Video diaries, some pictures occasionally. Conclusion - I highly recommend you try out this webcam, it was worth the money for me. Any down sides it may possibly have are easily worked around so that they are no longer a downside. I am really glad I now own it! - If you are still in doubt after reading reviews, go on youtube and see the video reviews, they helped me to decide alongside online reviews !

Best webcam on the market so they say, so I bought it. The picture quality is awesome, even if you don't have proper lighting, you can adjust the settings using the software that comes with it (plug and play). I'm using windows 7 64 bit ultimate and am having no trouble with this at all. So why 4 stars? It might just be me, but I don't like the quality of the onboard microphones. They're good for normal chatting to the camera style, but pretty usless if you're playing music or have other sounds in the background. But I didn't buy this for the sound, I bought it for the picture, and at 1080p quality, it's well worth the £47.99. Shame I can't have that same 1080p quality when using a usb extender cable, but then that's to be expected. Great for streaming, or 'talking to your pc screen'.

When planning to produce some online courses, I splashed out on a semi-decent camcorder to do re talking head shots, but I found the messing about popping memory cards out of the cam, and into the PC, them importing the second media into the timeline and syncing it all up (over and over again) a little...cumbersome. Not to mention the real estate a cam tripod (even a small one) takes up your desk. It was a choice between this and the similarly priced Microsoft one, so I studied the youtube reviews, and this one won out, so I got one. First thoughts are it's tiny, but beautiful to look at. Despite its size, it still feels really well made. The mount looked a little confusing, but when you put it atop your monitor it becomes obvious how it functions, and works really well. For those who want it, the mount also comes with a standard screw fitting for tripod mounting. Win 8.1 detected it, and installed the drivers in a minute or so, but I also downloaded the Logitech software from their site to get the tools to to play with resolution and what not. The first thing I noticed was the field of view on this is huge. So much so, that I turned it from 1080, to 720 to avoid recording the whole room. That done, you can then zoom in, pan left and right until you get the perfect head shot...nice. As this pipes straight into your PC, my screencast software (Camtasia) records the cam simultaneously, so all my sync problems were solved automatically. Problem solved. The recordings appear crisp and clear whatever the lighting conditions, and there is no stutter or judder whatsoever. The sound is reasonable, but I pipe the audio from a Blue Snowball (which is better). I know it's pricy, but the quality is great. There is a reason that this is the best selling webcam in the world.

Great 1080p video, good auto focus. Works relatively well in low light but excels with good lighting. The software is really good too, very simple to use. Hardly effects CPU performance when recording full 1080p. The microphone is actually pretty good. Not as good as a headset etc but very clear. It seems expensive for a webcam but it's well worth it. Buy the best & you won't need a new one for ages!

The webcam I purchased is EXCELLENT! handles changes in light levels really well. However my review of this product is to highlight that if you are buying this product to claim money back somewhere and require an invoice AVOID this company they are called FORTAI. I have used them twice, but never again, I have requested invoices for both products. and they just dont answer at all.

Fed up with my laptop’s pathetic, allegedly ‘HD’ webcam, I decided to give the C920 a go. What a difference! It’s by far and away the clearest webcam I’ve ever used. The images are crystal clear, it responds well to changing light, has a decent dual microphone setup, and feels incredibility sturdy for something so small. On the downside, the autofocus isn’t spectacularly quick, but is more than acceptable. Also, whilst the angle of pitch can be changed, you would need to attach it to a tripod in order to turn it left and right.

Just installed this on new Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) computer using USB 3. Installation was a doddle; just plugged it in and away it went loading all necessary drivers and automatically linking with Skype, Facebook and my mail server. She, who must be obeyed, has used it over the last couple of evenings to talk to her daughter who's serving in Afghanistan, who says the picture is fabulous and the camera is only let down by the low level of audio (the mics are set to the highest input level) which, on occasions, she has to strain to hear. This appears to be a common complaint with the only apparent solution being an external microphone. For this reason I'm giving it 4, because everything else about the camera still makes it a very good buy.

I bought this in order to use at work for video conferencing. The image quality is very good indeed and the camera has a reasonably wide field of view, making it ideal when you need to show several people on camera at a time. What I particularly like about it is the fact that it requires no driver disk (just connect it up and Windows automatically and quietly installs the correct driver) and it doesn't come with any bloatware. Some of my earlier webcams insisted on installing all kinds of junk which run at startup which I hated.
