Review: Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910

[EliteMaster64]

can you record video games with that?

[uberhikari]

I don't know if I believe that this camera only gets 15 fps in 720p, but you seem credible and trustworthy. However, I have heard this for 1080p, but never for 720p. I've seen other reviews where people claim that they get between 24-29 fps on 720p. Do you have any idea on what can account for the variation in fps?

[HyvelTjuven]

15 frames per second in 1080p and 720p?

I'm out.

[wikipedian7]

Can you take your own computer using this webcam? I have a Dell Studio 15 with Dell Webcam central that allows you to take your own computer with share desktop mode.

[nukem384]

@wikipedian7 no desktop record with the logitech software. there might be third party software out there that would let you do that though.

[wikipedian7]

@nukem384 Strange but my laptop's Dell Webcam Central was able to take video of my desktop.

[SuicidalChickens]

Thanks, this was really useful

[MoarMegaPandas]

I was looking at buying this webcam, but I can't find its field of view anywhere, It looks like its wide angle but there are no specs to be found. Would you mind playing with yours and giving me a field of view for it? or the width and height of the field of view at 1' from the camera would be just as good.

[nukem384]

@FattoBoi not with the logitech software. it only allows you to use the webcam vid and audio from the software

[nukem384]

@nukem384 well if you wanted to do voice over, you can use whatever mic you want and then put the video and audio together in any editing software you want. i use sony vegas pro 10 on my PC, if you have a mac, imovie will work, for final cut express/pro are great softwares as well.

[oromaoroma1]

Can i use dis webcame 4 youtube?

[Nicholaeszander96]

Do you consider 1mb/s-1.5mb/s good compared to your?

[MiiSzSTEPH]

I have the same webcam, and I'm wondering how did you upload it on HD? everytime i try to upload something.. the quality is horrible!

thanks!

[nukem384]

@MiiSzSTEPH it looks like youre rendering your videos in the wrong format. based on all the videos i looked at on your page, i dont think youre rendering the raw HD files as HD after youve edited them. youd have to find a tutorial for your editing software to do this correctly.

[MrShooter1000]

Is the sound recording from the C910? I need someone's reply!!

[nukem384]

@MrShooter1000 yes it is

[MrShooter1000]

@nukem384 well, thanks! I think the quality is pretty good for a built-in mic.

[metal571]

@MrShooter1000 yeah it is, but that is with RightSound enabled. makes it sound a little watery

[SweedRaver]

Good thing you have that hairstyle so we can compare the details with other cameras ;)

[FatalBunghole]

[MaskedTehGamer]

[Sam199635]

[RazMansReality]

I've heard that if right light is turned off you can get 30 fps on 720p. Do you know if that's true?

[nukem384]

@RazMansReality nope. the cam automatically films at 15fps

[MrPatonion]

@nukem384

If you change the drivers from Logitech to Microsoft, you can achieve 30 fps at 720p in MJPG and YUY

[kiatlc]

Hi nukem384, I bought the same webcam, but under low light my video is not as crisp as yours,do you know what might cause this? I assume you made this video under one fluorescent light is on

[nukem384]

@kiatlc you probably need more light. i actually had 2 huge fluorescent wall lights on and a desk lamp in my face.

[Manuirurzun]

frames and compressed format is also very difficult to edit. I would like to know if you think of a camera for my purpose. Perhaps not have to be a webcam. Thank you very much!

[Manuirurzun]

without compression, plus the other hand my camera has microphone input so I can record better audio. The downside is that it is not HD and it is a very large chamber size, and really only use it to capture video, or never use a mini dv tape, captured directly into the computer. I'm making a new booth, and was thinking of incorporating a new camera that captures in HD and that also is small and that let you record the audio separately. I see these webcams recorded in less than

[Manuirurzun]

First I want to congratulate you for the excellent review because it was very useful. I was about to buy this webcam until I saw your video. I think you can help me find the right camera for what I need. It would be very important to me. Let me tell you what I do. I have a video booth in Argentina. It's a booth where people enter and record video messages (can be used both at weddings and in any event). To this day I'm using a sony mini dv, thanks to its FireWire port allows you to record

[wilbertcs]

did you have problem installing it? Alot of people including me seems to be having issues; no video but audio works

[nukem384]

@wilbertcs i didnt have problems installing it. but as i try and web cam more, ive noticed it doesnt like my windows 7 x64 OS very much and i can only get the audio to work too sometimes.

[wilbertcs]

@nukem384 Thanks for answering back.

Keep up the vids!

[salinabear]

your room is so empty. and your bed is always made haha.

[nukem384]

@salinabear LOL im a guy, a neat guy!

[GoldenJellyBean]

Great review ^^ Might think of getting something like this =)

[nukem384]

@GoldenJellyBean cool! very convenient if you dont edit the crap out of stuff like me!

[anyaichimei]

I had once considered buying this...

hmmmmmm.

[nukem384]

@anyaichimei ya it would be perfect for you since you dont like loading stuff from your jvc.
