Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Get Amazing Video Quality with Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 (Discontinued Edition) by BU Jang แ Œ

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A terrible product, not satisfied with the purchase at all!

As a webcam, the Logitech C920 seems to work well when used for its intended purpose for face-to-face Skype calls. Communication with a subscriber 700 km away from me was good, the remote subscriber liked the picture, there was no twitching, the movements were relatively smooth. I was 70-90 cm from the camera. That is, at the normal distance from a 21.5-inch monitor at which it is usually worked. The camera design, focus and depth of field are optimized exclusively for this purpose. If someone has a much larger monitor diagonal or there is a need to communicate with a large group of people and you have to sit more than 1 meter from the camera so that the whole crowd can be seen, then everyone will no longer be in focus and there will be inconvenience. I personally dont want a sharp image this close (3cm to 80cm). I much more need a sharp image in the range from 20cm to 250cm. from the lens. Then it would be possible to use the camera to shoot videos and photos at home, and it would also be possible to comfortably sit in front of the camera with three or five of us and communicate normally via Skype. But with the existing depth of field characteristics and blurring at the edges of the image, shooting photos and videos becomes completely pointless. Communicators shoot better. Bottom line: the use of the camera is too narrow even for Skype, the picture quality is not impressive even at close range, the declared functionality for shooting video and photos is a hoax. The red price for this camera is $20, not $100.

Pros
  • 1. Support for the h264 codec reduces the load on the communication channel. 2. Convenient fastening. 3. Nice appearance. 4. There were no problems with installation and configuration in Windows 7 (32). 5. Lack of horizontal rotation of the camera relative to its mounting. For me, this is a plus, for someone, maybe it will be a disadvantage.
Cons
  • 1. Electronic focus. Small depth of field. If you set the focus to "infinity", then a relatively sharp image will be approximately at a distance of 25 cm to 80 cm from the lens. If you set the focus to "macro", then the sharp image will be about 3 cm from the lens. If you set the focus to the middle of the scale (5 out of 10), then a sharp image will be within 10-11 cm from the lens. 2. Strong blurring of the image at the edges of the picture. And in the center there is a feeling of blur.

Justified expectations.

In zoome, there is an excellent picture and sound, a quick connection on mac mini, I did not check it on Win. A wide angle is not particularly suitable for private calls, from a meter you can see the floor of the room and you are waist-deep.
