The microphone performance is great too previously people couldn't hear me unless I had a mic fairly close to me. This cam, on the other hand, actually does pretty well just off the light from my monitor at night, and even with a small desk lamp does very well. I previously had a cheap $20 webcam and had to turn on lots of lights to get decent video with any kind of frame rate. Overall Review: It's amazing the difference between a cheap camera and a decent one.

Typical Logitech quality (very good) means it'll probably work for years and be supported in whatever version operating systems is out then. Pros: Very clear, decent frame rate, great low-light performance, plug and play, fun software, fantastic microphone. Otherwise, this C525 should do fine for all other needs. If you want to make a higher quality 1080p recording at home (video chat online is limited to 720p) or require a stereo microphone then you will need a Logitech 900-series camera such as the C910 or higher model. Low-light compensation and noise-cancelling features work without installing any Logitech software camera zoom is also available if you go into the camera settings window. Of course, you must have a steady, reliable high-speed internet connection to achieve this. Separately, Logitech Vid software is a free high quality video chat program that provides very clear 720p video and sound even when others such as Windows Live Messenger or Skype are laggy or glitchy due to many people using them during peak times. but be sure to download the latest version from instead of using the CD that comes in the box. If you want all the gadget-y special effects and avatars you should install the rather large Logitech Webcam Software (LWS). Overall Review: Right out of the box this webcam gives very good results. Good low light performance (but not in dark room!)Ĭrisp clear sound from built-in microphone.Ĭons: USB cord is OK but would like to see all webcams have longer cords. Pros: Works with Windows 7 or 8 generic drivers, just plug it in.
