Performance
This mid range webcam offers excellent video quality for its price. It automatically adjusts its exposure to the right level for optimum picture quality. As well as this it features a manual focus knob on the side of the webcam.


It features high quality glass lens and a lens cover to protect the lens from dust. The camera does feel a little bit loose on the stand but it never moves around. The camera does have face tracking but it gets a bit annoying as it constantly moves around with every little change in expression or movement of your head.

The microphone is good and allows you to talk without going close to the webcam and it also minimises echo and background noise with the Rightsound technology.

The only problem I had with the webcam along with all other Logitech webcams is the software. Although it is alright, it is a bit slow and it keeps bugging you about updates. When you decide to install an update it screws up. I tried installing an update and all of a sudden the microphone stopped working. I tried everything and the only thing which worked was reinstalling the old software. Of course this might just be me.

Value
Despite the shortfalls of the camera, It is an excellent camera and is great value.

Conclusion
Logitech has lived up to its name of quality webcams and this is why I would highly recommend this webcam.
