Logitech C920 webcam 

As compared to the previous model, Logitech C910.



Even if you don't understand the language, this is still a great review. Particularly to flamenco guitarists (fast hand movements) interested in frame rate, watch from 4:30 to 4:50 for a comparison between the previous C910 and the new C920.

http://www.logitech.com/en-us/webcam-communications/webcams/devices/hd-pro-webcam-c920

Here's an excerpt from this page: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2400114,00.asp

"I tested the c920 in several modes, including 720p (1280-by-720-pixel) and 1080p (1920-by-1080p) resolution. Focus, light balance, and frame rates were all excellent, with the latter touching 30 frames per second at 720p and 29 frames per second at 1080p. The only downsides were a slight bluish cast in admittedly harsh office lighting—which I easily fixed by turning off RightLight (Logitech's automatic lighting compensation) and adjusting white balance manually—and a lower-than-expected 3300kbps average bit rate for 720p files and 4100kbps average bit rate for 1080p files, which led to a perceptible, if not serious, lack of facial detail."

Gounaro - I have the C910 (borrowed from a friend) too. When I get settled, I am going to get the C920 for sure.

Andy - cheers!

RE: Logitech C920 webcam (in reply to rombsix

Is anyone using the C920 with a Mac? I'm reading the reviews and they seem to suggest that the C910 is more compatible with Macs. (I have a MacBook Pro)

I also read that the C920 doesn't work very well with Mac. I think the issue though is the Logitech Webcam Software, and not the hardware of the camera itself. I believe I found out about people using the C920 with third-party software and that it worked for Mac. If you want to be safe, go with the older model: C910.

Cheers!

Just ordered it.. I will do a review and post videos when I get it. I hope to be able to record all my videos of new guitars with it in the future so it's easier to compare them.

RE: Logitech C920 webcam (in reply to rombsix

I have my C920 and I might send it back. Its a good webcam, but it is a webcam, right. It has some backdraws.

RE: Logitech C920 webcam (in reply to rombsix

ok i have to say that at first everything was working fine and now the video from the webcam is no longer working after the software froze and i used the start task manager to end task and end processes. I tried everything, re-installing software, re-starting computer, updating drivers, disconnecting and connecting USB. it did not work! NO VIDEO ! but there is audio being detected!

RE: Logitech C920 webcam (in reply to rombsix

Hey all,

Just wondering about getting one of these bad boys to be able share a bit more with you.

I am on a Mac and it seems that the C910 and C920 both work although the C920 seems less supported.

As I understand it, the C920 encodes the movie in the camera and from the above video it seems to have less motion blur. Do you think its worth the risk of less Apple support ?

Anyone out there using this on a mac and willing to share some thoughts on which one to go for ?

Thanks

Simon

RE: Logitech C920 webcam (in reply to rombsix

Thank Ramzi,

I watched that and it looks great. My only worry is the fps business.
Sound sync problems is not ideal but the quality he is getting looks
Great.

Now I have discovered that there is a C930 which officially supports Mac.

Too many choices.

Thanks

I am thinking of getting a Logitech webcam. But I read a number of reviews on Amazon saying that the Logitech installation software made their computer crash. Several times. Anyone know anything about this?
