"Grab him a Logitech C920x camera. You can pick that up for around $110 ... Its a good starter to see if streaming is something he actually wants to pursue without breaking the bank."
"Ive got a budget cam that even after a decade is still considered the best at that price point Logitech C920."
"the c920 is a cheap high quality 1080p cam."

"The built in mic for the C920 is also really good. ... I've had several folks say I sound clear and at a good volume when we're on Zoom calls or Slack huddles."
"The C920 has dual microphones and they are quite decent. ... Unless you're looking for that booming bass of a podcaster I wouldn't spend any money on a separate microphone."
"My Logitech c920 and c922 are picked up as cameras and microphones."

"I made it all the way to partner with a webcam, so obviously my community doesn’t mind it"
"Love the C920, have bought several and they have all done me great ... Logitech C920 series is solid and I've been championing it for like 10 years ... there's a reason it has been the defacto main go-to webcam for so many years"

"May auto focus tsaka auto light correction na siya kaya sulit na sulit."
"It offers amazing image quality"
"decent quality if you give it enough light (and white-balance it!) ... A decent 2 or 3-point lighting setup will make a major difference"

"Yeah they reset every fucking time, very, very annoying ... It wasn't. It still kept the auto focus on, auto white balance etc all the annoying crap."
"I have the Logitech c920 and it doesn’t respond well to the V4l2-ctl commands in Crowsnest. ... Sometimes I can get them to work, but they’re often ignored. ... Exactly. Who wants to SSH into their RPi to set their focus and exposure before every print? Not me. ... It’s an annoying aspect of the c920 and an extra hassle I’m trying to help the OP avoid. ... If you don’t mind a fuzzy and over- or under-exposed subject then it’s a non-issue. ... For a basic stream to view progress it might work just fine. But why spend $50 on a camera that requires extra work to focus. ... I recommend something you can set via the config file on Crowsnest."
"the ONLY reason i switched to the anker webcams is because for some reason, my computer just stopped being able to detect the webcams. it wasn't a webcam issue since they worked on other computers, so it was software-related. ... my ankers didn't crash, the logitech ones did. ... with the logitechs, i tried everything, even reverting to the older webcam software that some people suggested, reverting to numerous drivers/OS checkpoints, etc. nothing worked. something just completely hijacked those usb serial connections to the webcam and wouldn't let go."

"1080/30 is very sloggy at this point, I genuinely don't understand why people are recommending this as if 1080/30 is acceptable nowadays. ... they are unfortunately severely outdated now. ... it's just a bit awkward in 2025. ... if you care for any type of performance then it's outdated at this point."
"I have a c920 as well and the anker dunks on it without a doubt. Skip the c920 in 2025 imo"
"its super old tech anymore ... its just not the best camera these days ... Its a 13 year old camera"

"I used Logitech C920 webcams before and fought with different programs to keep settings and had to use so many lights. Then the next day whatever I set it too would look like something else and I'd have to adjust it again."
"I don't have to manually update C920 settings that Windows forgot to load (which it did frequently hence me finding this work around)."

"Adamantly here to say the C920 is absolutely garbage. ... Unless you’re in the most perfect of rooms, the white balance and exposure of this webcam is truly awful and you’ll need a white index card to calibrate it constantly."
"One thing you definitely will have to leave unchecked is the Low Light Compensation option under camera control. It will be like night and day. When on, the camera looks horrible, bleached and you move in slow motion."
"it has pretty bad reaction to changing lighting in a room"

Yeah you can plug into the USB A ports on the dock. I tested my c920e through the dock and it works as well.
r/NintendoSwitch • Happy to report that my non-official USB-C camera works with the Nintendo Switch 2! ->You don’t need an adapter. Plugging straight into the dock’s USB A ports work. Tested my c920e and the system recognized it right away.
r/NintendoSwitch • Happy to report that my non-official USB-C camera works with the Nintendo Switch 2! ->Anything from the above list. I got a Logitech C920e from Amazon for $60 and same day delivery. Was able to integrate it into my home theater with minimal changes.
r/NintendoSwitch2 • Tested USB Cameras with Switch 2 Master List ->OK. I've been using a C920e and I've seen some people complaining about the 920. I thought it was fine, but it's making me nervous that it's not fine. I'm not sensitive to 60 fps vs 30 or whatever. So, it's hard for me to tell if it's an issue.
r/streaming • Good webcam to get under 100$? ->I use a Logitech C-925e camera to stream directly from my Xbox and don’t have any issues, I wish I had a Logitech brio though for better quality but the one I have isn’t bad.
r/Twitch • Webcam when streaming from console ->I use this and it works perfect. If you need usb c you will need an adapter. https://a.co/d/8DjShoa
r/macmini • Please help with a webcam for MacMini M4 ->I have Logitech C925e and it is not bad but I found a old smartphone on my shelf so I don't care about the battery and the quality is much better. :)
r/Twitch • Which face cam should I get as a beginner streamer? ->I picked up a logitech c920e a few days ago and its been pretty solid so far. The cam software does have a low lighting toggle that ive been using and it actually does a pretty nice job of balancing the lighting
r/Twitch • What webcam would you recommend for a low light eviroment? ->My Logitech C925e works
r/NintendoSwitch2 • Tested USB Cameras with Switch 2 Master List ->Can confirm the Logitech C920/C920e
r/NintendoSwitch2 • Tested USB Cameras with Switch 2 Master List ->The c920 I got from Amazon shows Chinese lettering. It goes blurry every so often, but it’s decent.
r/Twitch • is this a okay starter camera? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
