Review on Logitech HD Webcam C270: Crisp 720p Widescreen Video Calling & Recording (960-000694), Lightweight and Portable at 3.15 lb. by Wiktor Krzysztof Kor ᠌

The least expensive webcam capable of producing 720p video. At this point, it's not even worth bothering to have a look at it. If finding something that can shoot at a resolution of 1280 by 720 at the lowest possible price is the objective, I do not currently see any meaningful competitors for this device. Has pros: Outputs video 1280x720 Attaches quickly and easily to the uppermost rim of a laptop or a monitor. Even at the expense of increased noise, auto exposure can adjust to any level of darkness. Its cons: The viewing angle is clearly tiny; if you place it on the top border of the laptop screen, it will most likely not be sufficient in the frame, even when compared to your built-in display. There is nowhere to fix a screw on a laptop or display besides the very top edge of the device. A horribly loud picture when seen in the dark (when seen in the light of a white screen). The microphone is awful and makes a hissing sound; it's on par with the cheapest model available for 50 pound sterling.
