 Much more than expectedSep 17, 2010
By David C. Wallace
"Ego sum a lamiai, inflecto volo"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RKDZA64P77E47 The primary point is that this camera is not Skype certified, but performs better than a skype certified camera. This camera DOES DO 720p in Skype at 30FPS as opposed to the flagship certified Skype camera which does only 22FPS. This camera has great video and audio for a webcam. It does 720p in skype, Windows Live Messenger BETA, and Logitech Vid HD. I was reluctant to buy another HD webcam after the disappointment of both the Microsoft Lifecam Cinema HD and the FaceVsion Touchcam N1. But this is the first HD camera that feels like it.

Excellent upgrade from my Logitech QuickCam ProJun 28, 2010
By ~ Z ~
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R10IN7SJYC49HC Installation was a breeze, it took less than 3 minutes to install. I am using it in a Windows 7 OS 64-bit environment. Unlike most webcam installations, this one was up and running in no time. It has a user-friendly and a very easy to navigate interface/menu. High Definition is pretty much the norm for resolution qualities now-a-days. The Logitech C910 I consider is the "high-end" webcam for the average user. The webacm sits on my 23 widescreen monitor, it balances perfectly on my monitor even though it does not have a clip. However, this might not work so well with laptops.
5 MP HD sensor takes crystal clear snapshots using 10 mega pixels (software enhanced), not even my digital camera is that high in mega pixels. The webcam is not as high quality using it on video chat (HD 720p), but it still beats the other webcam I was using before. I really don't think I will be using the video recorder feature often since I really can't see a need to record myself sitting in front of my desktop but I decided to try it anyways. When I tested the picture quality recording a video, it was clear (HD 1080p) and the sound was superb. Check out the attached video review for yourself (please disregard my Spanglish accent). The videos are saved in .wmv format. The widescreen lens allows a wider camera view compared to the average "square box" - so much more fits in the camera's view. The LightRight 2 technology automatically adjust the lighting conditions in the camera's view, no need to be fusing around with the settings.
It offers a 60-day trial of Logitech FastAccess facial recognition software. You can subscribe for this service that offers facial recognition to access Internet banking, email, etc without the hassle of remembering all your passwords. It can also lock your system to avoid use from unauthorized individuals.
Another awesome fun feature is the Logitech Video Effects. You can use Avatars that will follow your movements and mimic your speech as you chat with your friends. Add face accessories and masks to snapshots or video chat. Distort your image by adding visual video affects like stretching your face, big buggy eyes or distorting the color. There are tons of features to choose from and you can even download additional avatars and accessories direct from Logitech free of charge.
The webcam even offers a motion sensor feature that you can set up to record with a date and time stamp when there is any movement in front of the camera.
Overall great webcam. Major improvement to the Logitech QuickCam Pro I was using before. The Logitech Quickcam Pro offered most of the features listed on the C910, but now I have HD widescreen quality with vivid colors and superb resolution.

A handy little cameraJul 17, 2010
By Rebecca Haden
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2HTUT0F5YB81N We tried out the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 and we love it. The picture quality is not quite as good as that of our Nikon video camera, and the photo editing software is not as good as the standalone program we bought -- but that's not a flaw in the camera or its software. That's comparing it with different kinds of products.
For video chat, it's perfect, and as you can see from this video review, it does a very good job of creating videos. Check out an example of an edited video here: [...] We did this entirely with the webcam, edited it and uploaded it to YouTube, and embedded it into our web page. We never had to look at the documentation or help, either -- it was incredibly easy. It took just about an hour, counting opening the boxes, installing the cameras, deciding on a topic for our experimental video, shooting it, editing it, and getting it onto the web page.
In later uses, we've found that some situations require an additional microphone, and we've gone back to iMovie for most of our editing, but we're using the camera regularly for video filming and for video chat.
I can say with confidence that it is possible to use this camera right out of the box with no additional hardware, software, or training, and to get good results.

All about the Skype? NOW you can buy the hype!Jul 13, 2010
By THATCH
"RST"
Review update-- 9/11/10
During my original review, I rated the camera with regards to Skype use. I'm elated to learn from a Logitech forum post that this camera will be supporting Skype HQ with release of Skype 5.0! Because of this great news, I have revamped my review to better reflect the camera's use with 5.0, which I have been testing in beta.
The positives:
Camera & software install is easy
Camera Size is small
Design is attractive
Logitech HD video chat software is a nice option for those who aren't big into Skype or other big name branded chat programs.
It does great in low light situations and with dual mics seems overall very capable of capturing small sounds
Even in HD, this cam doesn't seem to drag on my system resources and make the PC slow like the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema
Negatives:
Not yet Skype HQ compliant, but will be soon with the release of Skype 5.0!
The USB cable is about 1 foot shorter than the cable on the Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 / QuickCam Pro 9000
The clip doesn't fit on my monitor as well as the Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 / QuickCam Pro 9000 or the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema
Now that this cam is slated to be Skype HQ compliant, I can say this is my preferred & recommended camera. Once I get the full release of 5.0 (non-beta) I'll update the review with my thoughts.

 Doesn't "attach" securely though good for home videos/snapshots. For video-calling, certain advantages over average webcams.Jun 23, 2010
By Niya
This product seems very good for making/sharing home videos, as the sound quality (via duo microphones) is quite excellent, and the image resolution is truly astounding in my opinion. However, I believe that this quality is somewhat limited to the purpose of making videos or taking snapshots. When I used it for video-calling programs such as Skype, the image resolution was scaled down so markedly that the image didn't seem to me to be dramatically better than what my average webcam offered. That said, I believe it has certain advantages over average webcams even if you use it for video-calling alone: it allows you to adjust the angle, focus, zoom and other aspects of the video while you're talking. The camera even has the ability to "follow your face" to a certain extent - if you desire it to do so.
The only complaint I have is that the camera itself does not hold on to your laptop screen securely. There is no clip or a tight grip provided. You're expected to balance the camera carefully and let it "sit" on the edge of your laptop screen. If you place your laptop on a secure and stable location (e.g. on a desk instead of your lap - and being extra careful on the airplane) and do not adjust/tilt your laptop screen while you use it, you might not have much of a problem. However, I can see how this lack of a secure grip can be an obvious inconvenience for someone who might like to carry the laptop and walk around with it while using the camera (e.g. making a home movie, showing your apartment to a friend through Skype, etc.). For someone who hibernates their laptop very frequently by closing their laptop screen many times a day, expect the camera to fall on your desk unless you remember to remove the camera first. I believe this lack of a secure grip is a legitimate concern for potential buyers.
