My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

I am warning you to look at this model in person before you commit to making a purchase. Because my previous Logitech webcam, which was a ball-shaped device, was now installed on my wife's computer, I decided to purchase the C270. Those who are already acquainted with the picture quality produced by cameras manufactured by this manufacturer. What a letdown it was for me when, when the lighting was dim (I generally talk at night, and the light of a monitor or a night lamp was sufficient), the screen displayed vertical stripes. I examined some of the online forums, and it seems that many people had similar issues about the whole party. I investigated, confirmed, and offered my opinion before deciding to move to the same model. I made the decision to check it out as soon as I got to the service, and the outcome was the same. The same striped appearance. From such a well-known and well-liked company, I was unprepared for such a difficulty. I took the money, and I plan to purchase it from a different store because I've heard that model is one of the greatest in terms of pricing compared to its overall quality.

Pros
  • The microphone has a very high sensitivity, and the sound is of the highest quality (there is no noise or distortion). Rightsound technology is at the forefront of audio innovation. Video of the highest possible quality, face tracking, and autofocus.
Cons
  • There are some unreliable individuals (shown by the vertical stripes in the image)! To be fair, I should mention that if the lighting is quite good, then the bands are nearly invisible. This is especially true if you lower the gain using the slider in the options (after disabling "Rightlight" and "auto gain"), which makes the bands even less noticeable. The picture will be darker, but you won't be able to see the bands anymore. Therefore, many people will have little problem rectifying this deficiency. However, they should not be exposed to any light at all because this is a reality. Also, if you use Skype in low-light environments, particularly at night when there is enough light from the monitor (like I have up until this point), then you should be sure to test out the camera in the store.
