"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."


"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."


"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"I found the live beam 3's on sale on Amazon for 129! ... For the price, I don't think I'd find better."


"An S8 would be great for vacuuming your rugs and carpets ... For $350, my two S8s are very hard to beat! ... Almost all of the ones I thought vacuumed, very, very well have been discontinued except for the S8. ... If a Mova V50 can do 80% as well as our cheap S8s I would be pleased!"


"Overall I think these are super impressive especially for the price. ... These could be bargain of the year.. I'm very happy so far with them"

"I've been using my c920 Logitech for 10 years now and it still works as well as on day 1"


"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"

"the software was such trash that it would constantly lose my keybinds or simply stop responding mid fight."


"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."


"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."

"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."


"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."


"it has pretty bad reaction to changing lighting in a room"

"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."

"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."


"It's USB2 only, no 4k, no 60fps at highest resolutions though."


"I have a c920 as well and the anker dunks on it without a doubt. Skip the c920 in 2025 imo"

"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."


"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."


"Then I turn off autofocus because it is what usually causes the focus to blur on my c920."

The c920 I got from Amazon shows Chinese lettering. It goes blurry every so often, but it’s decent.

Depends on your budget. High end cameras and microphones almost cost more than good PC's do. Even the budget priced ones I've got cost $200 for me Ive got a budget cam that even after a decade is still considered the best at that price point Logitech C920. My microphone is workable but you need a boom arm for it which brings the price up for it. HyperX Solocast I noticed another one here has that. If I had my time over I'd have just gotten a Blue Yeti. Would totalled bout $40 more but from what I hear, much better quality

Depende kung san mo gagamitin. Streaming? Or pang general work video/conference call lang? Ok na yang pinost mo for the latter. If willing ka naman gumastos go with elgato facecam. I used the logi c922 and c920 before and they are alright. I believe there are newer brands, check out Harris Heller (Senpai Gaming) on youtube for reviews.

I guess it depends on how and where it would stand. Directly on your desk or something elevating it. Regardless, the defacto Logitech C920 for example has a standard thread for tripod attachment. Could mount on one behind the screen or wherever works.

I use an Anker Powerconf C200, it works great in low light and does 1080p/60. I only use some LED lights at around 40% brightness with mood lighting and my monitor brightness is set pretty low and my camera quality is great. I have a Logitech Litra Glow key light as well, but I rarely ever use it unless I'm really trying to light something up. Some of the Logitech cameras work fairly well in lower light too, like the C920, C720, and anything in the Brio line.

I've been using a Logitech C920 for the past few years and no one has complained about not being able to hear me or understand me. [https://www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/c920s-pro-hd-webcam.960-001257](https://www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/c920s-pro-hd-webcam.960-001257)

I have the Logitech C920 and the quality is fantastic. It's not "pro streamer with a $5000 Sony 1 million megapixel DSLR mounted on my desk" quality, but it's much better than what I see from my coworkers who just use their laptop cameras. 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.

Just curious, does Logitech's free software LogiTune work with your Brio? If you haven't tried that you might give it a shot - it gives you control of brightness, contrast, white balance, gain, and exposure. Otherwise I've used a Logitech C920 (with the LogiTune software) for years

Lightning is very very important!! Cannot emphasise how much it can change the quality, even an old c920 can perform well if you have enough lightning :) The one you showed is a good starter cam
