http://daanberg.net - Today I bought a new, HD webcam for under 50 euros! This recently-released webcam from Logitech allows me to record HD video with a non-HD compliant computer. Since the software doesn't use a heck of a lot of system resources, my computer can handle the HD job just fine...
what software are you using to recording these? When I directly record using Youtube it limits the C500's resolution to 360p. When I use Windows Live Movie Maker the raw video is 640x480. How are you getting 720p out of the C500?

@lifehackertips I have now added an annotation to the video (at around 0:10) with more information.

Do you still use this webcam? This video is a year old and I noticed these cams are less than $20 now so I was wondering if you still recommended it.
The image quality in this video is fantastic, amazing for a cam that's so cheap

@randomworld09 Hey there! Well, it really comes down to what you want, and what you want to pay for it. If you'd like 720p and you have Windows XP (running on a rather recent computer, max. 2 years old or so), you can get the 500. If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, Linux or Mac OS X and you'd like to get HD, you need to get the 510. Also, the 510 has a better microphone, and is better in low-light conditions. Furthermore, it's small and portable, so you can use it for your laptop.
Good luck!
