What customers say about "Key Specs"
Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Webcam - Black/Silver
  • The first thing you are going to look for on a webcam and the image quality. Well, the image quality is extremely good, it films in HD without any problem and the low light capability is truly excellent.
  • The image quality is great, up to 720p HD for video and 5mp for still images. It copes well with a range of lighting conditions and the audio is crisp and clear.
  • Very high quality picture, using it on Skype/Lync a doddle, being a Microsoft product it works seamlessly with their own platform, allowing zoom/pan/tilt and a whole host of picture enhancements.
  • Great for what I need it for, was expecting the quality to be a bit better but definitely worth the money
  • The video quality is pretty good from the little I've tested it.
Logitech (C920) 1080p Pro Webcam with Microphone
  • Great camera featuring very nice resolution. Very impressive images on receiving end. Received many complements
  • Resolution and wide area is great for webcam usage!
  • Was looking for a good resolution camera for home based job and needed great quality in resolution at good price, read reviews and picked up 2 of these, and they didn't disappoint
  • This is a great high resolution camera with panoramic lens, it picks up a wider angle so can easily be used in a group or conference setting.
  • The webcam records at 1080p, but at 10-20 FPS.... with the low frame rate and the lack of color, you could just go buy a 720 cam for significantly less.

What customers say about "Features"
Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Webcam - Black/Silver
  • The device is a circular tube of the dimensions of a bigger cotton reel. It feels to the touch well - made. When it is used the webcam can become warm to the touch.
  • Video and sound quality are both excellent and the accompanying software is a simple but nonetheless effective service.
  • Audio and video are of a decent quality - the only thing that let it down was the autofocus sometimes struggles when you move too close to the camera, but only for a matter of seconds.
  • Picture quality is very good and the microphone picks up sound clearly and without distortion.
  • Decent quality camera which works perfectly fine other than a really glitchy auto focus. Fortunately you can turn that off.
Logitech (C920) 1080p Pro Webcam with Microphone
  • The mounting gear that came with camera made it very easy to mount and adjust to the correct height and angle. It is a good camera for either personal or business use.
  • The auto-focus, wide angle and image clarity are first rate. (For advanced functions Logitech offers additional models and software at a higher price.)
  • This camera/mic is AWESOME! I love how incredibly easy set up is. After it's installed, the software is user friendly. The quality for the price is amazing!
  • The product was so easy to install (just plug it in to the USB port) and works great
  • The smallest adjustment is still too thick for my new ultra thin laptop.
  • You have to download the software from Logitech's website. the software worked fine at first but now it doesn't want to record the audio.
