Logitech 720p Webcam C510

I recently bought this webcam, the installation of the software took about 15 minutes. The cam can take 8 megapixel pics, record video&audio, and detect motion. The pros: it has very crystal clear images and works very well with Yahoo. It has fun little features like face accessories, avatars, and video filters (with tons of extra downloadable content from the Logitech site.) It is capable of zooming and it also comes with a soft cushioned case to store it in. The cons of this cam for me is that I can only record video with the lowest quality on my laptop. Recording video in the highest quality causes the software freeze and go unresponsive (on my pc, it may not happen for yours depending on things like your video/sound cards.) Trying to open the recorded video to watch it crashed the Logitech software for the first few tries, finally I was able to view it and its video had a bad latency problem, the audio was also very distorted and went from sounding like a person on helium to a bellowing ogre. I lowered the quality and it works great with exceptional audio and video. Overall, it's a very good cam well worth the price. I would definitely recommend it, I've never seen or used one with such a clear image and I've gotten compliments from my friends saying the same.

For those who know what Linux is you'll be pleased to know that this camera works on it! Plugged it in and it worked, those running windows will need to install drivers but they do include them so it should work fine, without any hassle whatsoever! G+, Skype, etc, all worked perfectly.
