Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910
After my son played with an old Techsolo webcam, I had no choice but to choose a new one. My choice fell on the flagship of web-cameras from Logitech - Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910.
Equipment
The package is modest, but what did I want from a web-camera?
- webcam in person
- documentation
- disk with drivers and utilities

Of the lotions, it is worth noting the automatic face tracking function - the camera will constantly keep you in the center of the frame due to the reserve of viewing angles (not without reducing the resolution, however)

Software
- Logitech Webcam Software - branded tool, includes settings, video recording, photo
- Video Effects - avatars, face masks, etc.
- MAGIX Photo Manager 9 and MAGIX Video Easy - photo and video editing
- Face Identifications FastAccess

The branded tool has a security camera function that records only when moving in the frame - paranoid users will be happy, although there are not so many settings:
We should also mention the integration of Facebook and YouTube - it’s really convenient to upload pictures in a couple of clicks.

A couple more test photos of this file (1 - print on A4, 2- print 1: 1): Minimum distance focusing was 5cm, which is very good.
Conclusion
At the moment I am very happy with my purchase, of course the price bites, but the device is very decent - 850 UAH ($ 107.5)
Advantages
- Very nice design
- Motion detector
- Very high-quality picture - thanks to Carl Zeiss optics for this
- Good stereo sound with two microphones
- Autofocus
- Useful editing software
disadvantages
- Price
- Large glossy surface
- The camera warms up (not much of course, but it's strange as for me)
I also advise you to get acquainted with the Logitech HD Webcam C510 camera review - I did not begin to copy-paste the description of all the software features, so I recommend reading it.
