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

Linux 2.6.38 functions without any issues; however, upgrading to 2.6.39 requires you to correct a single file and recompile the kernel, which will take several hours. The fix can be found here: Got pros: The video is sharp, and the colors look nice. 1280 pixels wide by 960 pixels height is the resolution. It is possible to hear clearly and the microphone is sensitive enough to pick up sound even from another part of the room. Got cons: The manufacturer does not support Linux, but fortunately, the microphone problem was rectified with the assistance of an Internet search, a patch, and a kernel recompile (2.6.39).
