"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)."

"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."
alanbowman 1.0I'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)
chewedgummiebears 1.0I went through a couple before I settled on this one [https://www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/c920s-pro-hd-webcam.960-001257?crid=34](https://www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/c920s-pro-hd-webcam.960-001257?crid=34)
I've never been asked to take a picture of my ID since moving to this web cam. The main thing I was looking for though was wider field of vision since they always had me hugging my monitor to keep my head/hands/mouse/keyboard/monitor in view.
djhyte 1.0I started with Razer Kiyo and then got a C920 Pro HD.
Effective_Gur_7967 1.0The one you linked looks bad because its not a real brand. If your just doing job interviews, it will be enough but for actual streaming quality is very important. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-C920S-Privacy-Shutter/dp/B08DRQ66WP?crid=2EV4DRNRTPOT9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kR7wj9aWqwdB0BnDYAxjlGafwzUJxHbfKnhWbwA9gwVbk9fE0Zu0-eX8K4cz_yxcDptf-wqp-pYOucHEEgzUZU_UXPP2c6VdIdp11AkGbpm2m7JAdLz6Occ_NLBF1s_YG0jev1GBvMm1zcb5tP0XsuaUZJh3QjajQayLwQc79-3dmNUpoSmoT6mCSN2VPfcVgvdSjyRKZX9-Bv0TOG6QEA.8-LujLPTZ1fMoeR80V40l6tC0uyROiiRzvQaC8FkAqE&dib_tag=se&keywords=logitech+c920&qid=1758074262&s=electronics&sprefix=logitech+c920%2Celectronics%2C347&sr=1-3
erisian2342 1.0Strange but effective. No matter what I tried (different brightness and color temperatures, open/closed window blinds at different times of day, camera brightness boost, meeting brightness boost, etc.), I always looked pale-to-grayish on camera. Out of frustration I bought a ring light and suddenly I looked like myself! Maybe it was just my Logitech C920S HD Pro webcam, but the ring light improvement was not subtle. My PM even complimented me on the difference. Working remotely. people definitely respond to us - and trust what we’re saying - based in part on how we look. As a manager, I need to be as effective as possible in meetings for my team to succeed. I consider the ring light to be an excellent career investment.
herocoding 1.0Cameras might nicht come with a tripod included, but usually they allow to connect a tripod, same mechanism, same screw like for a camera. I still use several of Logitech C920 Pro HD; see [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) the spec says "**Tripod-ready universal mounting clip fits laptops, LCD or monitors**". It supports many resolutions, different encoding, different framerates. It's USB2 only, no 4k, no 60fps at highest resolutions though. If you are not after "extreme conditions" (very fast/slow/dark/bright; exotic resolutions, exotic color formats) then start with USB webcams. Depending on your used PC/board, you might need special flat cables (e.g. Aarduino, Mipi-CSI) and therefore special cameras - then you could look into something more "professional", where you could have a bigger influence (think of analogue cameras). A lot is about computer-vision, filters, neural-networks making use-cases possible. Very interesting for instance is surround-view, where the cameras will be equipped with fish-eye-lenses to achieve a bigger field-of-view. Check e.g. ebay or flee-markets and collect a few cameras!! Also have a look into stereo-cameras: RealSense and Luxonis.
khfanrudy 1.0Logitech c920 is a good starting webcam this one one ebay is 35$ refurbished https://www.ebay.com/itm/167257670542?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=GtI-J9oQQe2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=kdAzPv06Q0C&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Minute-Lake7235 1.0I prefer the Logitech C920s Pro. I've used it throughout 2 programs. Has a tripod mount point and you can pick any tripod for it.
NeverMeantIntro 1.0This is what I use. that said it has the same inability to take a clear ID photo, so really no huge incentive to spend the extra $$$
