Review on πŸ’» Get Amazing Video Quality with Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 (Discontinued Edition) by Firash Hakimi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not everything is so bad, the average purchase in quality.

The C920 has a good reputation, so I decided to go for the shuttered version. I thought that it differs only in the curtain. In fact, the DeviceID is different, there are no special drivers. But the worst thing is that the "native" zoom does not work, you cannot "run into" the object being shot, although this function is available in the settings. For a camera with such a wide field of view, this is simply a must. The Internet could not help, the drivers for the C920 are not suitable, and the vaunted G Capture (or whatever it is) does not see the camera in the sources at all (and it also cannot work with Aero on Win7x64, this is in 2021, ha ha)! Other programs with the camera work fine, by the way. Well, a bonus - OBS, with some shamanism with the settings, can change the camera zoom through the native settings utility, although its crooked (you need to change the camera resolution in the OBS source and open the camera settings, it will somehow start working). Apparently the problem is still more of a software problem. When voicing "terrible" technical details (see questions about the product), the local Logitech expert calmed down heroically, as expected, there are no drivers, native software is screwed up - this is a fiasco, guys. Ill try to write more in TP Logs, maybe they will answer something. At the moment, 3 stars are purely for the main functions minus the price that has been raised. Such gouging for such a price is no longer worth it. If you just need to stick it in and so that it works and with good quality, it will do.

Pros
  • - defined and launched without problems - good picture - curtain included - acceptable microphone - automatic settings work well - a bunch of manual settings
Cons
  • - the zoom does not work (not the program (separately the rays of "good" to its authors for such a name, finding the right one for the query "zoom <camera name>" is now unrealistic), but changing the focal length), more in the comments - in general, there are no stars from the sky enough, the price is too high

Has pros: After reviews complaining about quality in poor lighting, expectations were lower. An excellent camera, but it seems to me, not for 8 thousand, but somewhere for 5. Has cons: When mounted on a monitor, the visor is still too big and slightly covers the screen. Not enough left and right turns. To center in this way, you need to twist the screen.

Even with good lighting, the image is a little blurry, but so far this is the best option and for reasonable money.

I’m happy with everything, I took it for 7k, which is rare at the end of 2022 for such a price very satisfied
