The C270 HD Webcam (Black) from Logitech is a solid, easy-to-use way to record video or chat online with your computer. This webcam can stream or record sharp HD 720p widescreen video at an aspect ratio of 16:9. It features built-in RightLight technology so that your webcam will adjust to low light conditions. Making it great for video calls or IM chatting, the webcam has a built-in microphone with RightSound technology that neutralizes acoustic noise in your background so your conversations sound clear and natural. In terms of video chatting, the webcam is compatible with many IM applications, particularly Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and AOL Instant Messenger.
Beyond video, the webcam can also take snapshot photos at a resolution of 3MP. It's compatible with your Windows PC and is ready for use as soon as you connect it through your computer's USB 1.1 or 2.0 port. A USB 2.0 port is recommended, though.
For getting even more out of your C270 Webcam, you will also receive Logitech's Vid HD software and MAGIX's Photo Manger 9 software. VID HD is great for making easy, hassle-free video calls to your friends while MAGIX's programs allow you to manage and edit you photos or videos.

Comments about Logitech C270 HD Webcam (Black):
Great product! I purchased mainly with price in mind and found it very economical. It was easy to set up and get going, even for someone who is not computer savy! I get a nice clear picture and audio from the device and the design is nice and compact...inobtrusive. The only improvement I would make would be to figure a way to stabilize the clip on system more...it more or less balances on my computer and is fine there but it would just feel nicer if it was actually attached somehow! Thanks for a great product!

I bought it to keep in touch with my friends and family when I travel around the world.
The quality is very good (HD) more than what you need for an amateur use and its small size makes it perfect for travelling.
The webcam can be place everywhere in multiple positions , so you can change the point of view.
You can use the software to change view settings.
