Logitech C270 720p 1280 x 720 pixels; 1280 x 720pixels USB 2.0 Webcam – Black Webcams (3 MP, Clip, USB 2.0, Black)

I was on the verge of sending this back as defective as it seemed dead as a do-do but watching an independent review video I discovered it is not "Plug and Play" as implied by the installation instructions and won't work until you download and install necessary software - search "download logitech c270 software". Once installed, the camera and microphone seem to work well but the clip provided is totally unsuitable for my desktop screen and wobbles around under the weight of the cable. I am sure I will be able to wedge it with something or tape it in position when in use but overall it doesn't meet the standards expected from a brand name like Logitech.

My last webcam for my PC wasn't too great very grainy and very poor vision. This webcam HD fantastic very clear tracks your face. Very sturdy WebCam and looks cool with your monitor, I recommend this to everybody.

It's a good camera for skyping with but not good to record with. The 720p widescreen is correct for the video camera functions however it doesn't look great when you watch the recording back and even less so when uploaded to youtube. Having a light on the camera is great and it works well to remind you if it's on and it's easy enough to sit on your monitor though it may not work great on a thin screened laptop. Overall it's not great if you want it for anything other than skyping, if you want to record footage for youtube,etc I would just recommend getting an actual camera to mount to a tripod instead.

Does what it says on the plastic! Just what I ordered - maybe not for the top-end of the market - but excellent for me.
