Lets compared the Logitech HD Pro C910 and Microsoft LifeCam Studio.

Hardware

Both take a completely different approach hardware wise. The LifeCam Studio takes a more traditional approach to the design of their webcam with an all aluminum body and flexible hinge with a tripod hole and can be pointed in several different direction. The HD Pro C910 is full wide angle design with a mix of plastic and metal making. The hinge is not as flexible as the LifeCam Studio. Its also a bit heavier than the LifeCam Studio as well. Both have 1080p and improved audio but that's where the differences come into play.

Usage

Both cameras are pretty easy to use and setup. Both use their own special software with LifeCam Studio using LifeCam software and the C910 using Logitech HD Vid. Both software packages work well and are simple to use. The biggest difference between the web cams is the video and audio recording. Both cams tout 1080p capabilities but the LifeCam does not record video in 1080p and can only take pictures in 1080p which is a big let down since this is advertises as 1080p you would assume it could do video but video only records in 720p. The C910 records in full 1080p and looks great with sharp colors. One the flip side the audio is not as good in the C910 as it in in the LifeCam Studio that has audio that sounds like you are using a separate microphone.

Both cameras support HD video calling but you'll need to make sure both party meet the specs required to use it.

Overall

You can't go wrong with either webcam here it really depends on what you are mainly looking for. If you are looking for high image quality then the C910 is the way to go. If you want tripod support and great audio quality then the LifeCam studio is the way to go.

actually you can film in 1080p with the lifecam, you just need a rocket for CPU...:P. That is why you can't change to 1080p video. It detects that your computer isn't fast enough, and quite frankly it doesn't mean your computer is slow.. Try Open Video Capture to squeeze out FPS and Resolution =)

@avatarelite Microsoft's software doesn't allow it period. You have you use a 3rd party solution. My PC is more than capable of 1080p.

ummmm 1080p pictures? there is no such thing, 1080p is for videos only, so that ISNT a 1080p camera just a webcam with good pixels

[bwonedotcom]

@Sarahbellum820 So tell me why does it takes shots with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 which is what the packaging and the software says for both cameras.

The Microsoft one looks like a hairdryer

The Life cam Studio Can do 1080P Recording the MS Software has it disabled but with 3rd party software works perfectly also the studio has better focus

[dikkeleowassenaar]

we want to see the picture, and hear the sound, not this shit story.

[DavidH373]

Umm... So why no video samples? This was no use to me...

[agmiller101]

[shabbyroadgaming23]

@kontoname ok well i was incorrect about it beiong 1080P! but it doesn't mean she was correct. the resolution is still 1920 x 1080. i think she wouldn't have any clue as to what you are talking about.
