Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 Review 2012 - Technology Times

Skype is the best resource to make video calls and for better video experience we need best webcamera.  Logitech is well known for its high quality HD webcams. “Conference room” webcams are suited for covering the longer range typical of a small-to-medium conference room size rather than a close-up desktop PC webcam for both video and audio.The  captures full-HD 1080p video for video calling with Skype latest version Skype 5.7 Beta for Windows. With Windows Live Messenger the webcam provide 720p video capture.  the cost of this webcamera is $99.99 only, one can get the device online from different online sullpiers.  From the time just over four years ago when Skype introduced High Quality Video at VGA (640 x 480) resolution and 30 frames per second (“fps” or “frame rate”).  The face tracking technology lets you move here and there & it follows and makes it more fun, lively & realistic than; just sitting and chatting.  he only thing Logitech needs to work on is increasing the audio sample rate and bit depth from 2 channel, 16 bit, 32000 Hz (FM Radio Quality) to 2 channel, 24 bit, especially if users want to use this camera on Skype (and othe rprograms) which support WideBand.  The C920 has just been announced and it’s an impressive camera that does 1080P video calls.

The moment you initialize the camera it becomes active in almost no time.  If you are looking to have the best overall Skype video calling experience from a Windows PC, it’s well worth spending the $99 to achieve it. The C920 also includes a microphone on each side to pick up a stereo effect and making it suitable for larger distances in, say, a small conference room. I was able to test this out in a small office environment during an HD video call and found it to work satisfactorily. While the other party on a 90 minute call reported that there can be a bit of “barrel” effect, Skype’s echo cancellation worked perfectly. When you initiate the C920 webcam (either when launching a call or by turning on the webcam during a call) it comes up almost instantly with a video image; no swirling icons waiting for the webcam to get started. But the other noticeable difference was that it usually takes less than 30 seconds for the webcam to start delivering HD video at 720p.
