That’s not 1080p, unfortunately, but still just fine in a YouTube setting. You get a bit of internal storage and 720p. The Logitech HD Webcam C270 does fall short in just about every field, but does just enough that you won’t feel cheated if you decide to cut your losses and take a suboptimal option. For satisfactory results, we suggest the Logitech C922X it hits all the marks the C270 doesn’t. Dropping $40 on this little number isn’t a huge hit and puts you right on track for getting your YouTube career started. With everything the Logitech HD Webcam C270 has to offer, it’s still a decent option.

The device has a tripod mount for a 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 screw, which allows mounting. Even a cheap external mic will do better. The device has an indicator light that shows when the camera is recording. It does have a built-in microphone with noise cancellation, but there’s still a noticeable level of static. While optical zoom isn’t an option, 200MB of storage is! You don’t see that all too often with budget webcams, so it’s a nice little bonus. Optical Zoom, Microphone, Audio & Storage Without one, your webcam is subject to using the clip-on, which isn’t always the most reliable if you’re constantly moving. What hurts the Logitech HD Webcam C270 the most isn’t its resolution, but the lack of a tripod-ready base.

On a good note, light correction is solid-so long as you have decent white lighting. Though it comes with dual stereo mics with noise reduction, you will want a separate microphone for high-quality streams. You also have the option of streaming at 720p at 30 FPS if you need to limit yourself due to bandwidth. On the other hand, 1080p is just so much sharper and higher quality. The Logitech C920 is a step up from the C270 in that it allows you to stream at 1080p at 30 FPS with automatic light correction. Resolution & DisplayĪ native resolution of 720p is a double-edged sword, on one hand it’s good enough for YouTube and video calling, while being cost effective. Measuring 9.85 x 4.94 x 6.45 inches and weighing 6.7oz, it’s bigger than the Microsoft LifeCam Studio For Business. However, it does autofocus, which leaves you to focus on recording rather than messing with the webcam. There’s a slight image quality improvement by using glass instead, but you won’t notice the difference. To keep its price low, the Logitech C270 HD Webcam uses plastic material for its lens.
