Logitech C310 HD Webcam, HD 720p/30fps, Widescreen HD Video Calling, HD Light Correction, Noise-Reducing Mic, for Skype, FaceTime, Hangouts, WebEx, PC/Mac/Laptop/MacBook/Tablet - Black

Definitely a great buy. I've never owned an HD webcam prior to this, always having some cheap webcams that I find in the closet honestly. I would have purchased a better webcam sooner, since everything else electronic in my house is pretty much current technology, however, I have never really needed one since I have always used my Xoom tablet for video calls anyways. Though after seeing how inexpensive these HD webcams are, I decided might as well pick one up. While the shipping time was kind of strange, I didn't mind as I certainly wasn't in a hurry to get this. My first impression when I got this, was that the webcam is rather smaller and more discreet than I thought it would be. It sits snug on top of my monitor, as opposed to some which sometimes falls off when the computer desk gets shaken. Once I turned it on, the video quality was great. Of course compared to all the crappy and old webcams I used in the past, it really isn't too hard to have better quality than those. However, when comparing the video quality to those of my family and friends who I video chat all the time with in Skype, they all comment that I have the clearest and sharpest video. Of course there are other factors involved such as connection speeds, however, I think we all have comparable internet connections and we all live pretty close to each other. Many of the other webcams that are used in our video group calls are 2 or 3 times more expensive than a new C310, so definitely per dollar value this seems to be up there. I personally do not use the mic on the webcam, however, from just the tests I did, it seems good enough for use, definitely don't need to buy a separate mic. The webcam software is OK, however, it seems pretty buggy. Personally, I don't really deal with the webcam program, I don't see a point for it, however, I did leave it installed on my computer just in case. Either way, your computer should install it automatically and download the proper drivers, so if you don't care for the webcam application, you don't need the CD. Overall, a very good buy. Very affordable, good quality, and Logitech makes great products, never had a complaint about them.

I bought this camera so that I could communicate with my boyfriend while he is overseas. We tested it out using skype before he left and it worked so well I bought another one for him to take. The connection stays very clear and the audio is smooth. My computer is not that new so it wasn't able to use the video effects, but it still runs very great. My boyfriends computer was able to install the effects and those make for a fun thing to play with. It was easy to set up, only took about 5 minutes before I was all done and ready to use it. The image is so clear! Even if the image is not zoomed in so that the other person's face is taking up most of the screen, you can still see a great amount of detail. The sound is great too, even if you keep your computer volume lower like me, it is like you are on the phone or in person because everything is crisp. I am VERY happy with my purchase.

Bought this refurbished from Amazon warehouse. Looks good as new and works pretty well. The picture quality is good as well as the microphone. Setup was a breeze and running this is simple, as well. Even my 3 year old knows how to click on the icon to get the camera running. Update: this camera has a macro auto focusing problem when you want to record something up close. For example, if you're recording yourself at about a foot or 2 away (arms distance), your image is clear, but if you hold something up to the camera, the image will be blurry because it doesn't auto focus. What you'll need to do is pop open the camera cover, remove the 3 tiny screws with a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the 2nd camera cover to expose the lens. You'll see the lens has a circular cover that has ridges or a dial, if you will. Point the camera to a close object and slowly turn that dial either clockwise or counter clockwise until the image is focused. I believe it was clockwise to zoom closer. Don't focus too clearly because your images that are at arms distance or further will be blurry. You need to create a balance between close objects and arms distanced objects. Now hold your camera at the usual distance and refocus the camera until you get a balance. When you find a balance, replace the 2 covers and screws I rely heavily on honest helpful reviews when I shop and I want to help others make an informed decision as well.

I bought this for its microphone, mainly. I use a desktop computer for gaming, and I wanted a cheap microphone to use for in-game communication, but I also wanted a mic that sounded good enough for Let's Plays. This would also mean I would like decent video from it. This microphone is fantastic! I turned off the audio reduction feature for a more natural sound, and the result is a very rich audio feed that sounds properly balanced and clear even through my Audio Technica M50 studio monitors. In sufficient lighting, the video is actually quite good. I'd say it's a tad less grainy than a smartphone's video, although there is some artificial smoothing (which can probably be disabled in the software). The framerate could be smoother, but it's more than sufficient for video chatting or Let's Play-like stuff. My only grievance is with the stand: it doesn't quite fit on my monitor. Because the webcam is front heavy, it needed to be propped on its back, but the stand was not quite deep enough for my monitor (an Acer IPS-LED screen which is quite thin for a monitor). I just rolled up a note card and stationed it in the mount to help it stand. Included software is pretty good, although I run most of my effects in OBS or Premiere Pro instead of the Logitech software. My installation was nothing more than mounting it on the monitor (with the note card, as previously mentioned) and plugging it into the USB port. Overall, I highly recommend this webcam; it's a steal at this price.

Rapid delivery, good performance, good quality pictures are major features of the product.

Très bonne qualité d'image et micro de bonne qualité. J'en ai même repris une 2ème pour mon autre pc fixe, même si elle est facile à débrancher /rebrancher car totalement "plug and play" dès lors que l'on a installé les programmes.

The camera suddenly just stopped working after less than one year

After help from a friend, I realized all I had to do was plug in the webcam and I was all set to go. There were no instructions so having little knowledge about technology, I didn't know it was that simple. For some reason, after plugging in the USB into my hard drive, I was notified that the download was incomplete and it won't download which made it quite confusing. Would have appreciated some literature to say this is ok and move on. Otherwise, it works great, very clear picture, clear sound and has a wide range of sight.

Camera showing black screen , tried on multiple computers . Will not recommend
