Review 1 for Logitech HD Webcam C270 - Black

DO NOT BUY if using Windows 7

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Blue Screens!
Out of the box, this camera is not compatible with Windows 7. I'm VERY tech-savvy and built my computer.
The camera does not install property out of the box. I researched the issue and found an FAQ on Logitech's site for a workaround installation. The fact that there's an installation FAQ should have tipped me off that there would be trouble. You have to go through a somewhat involved workaround to install it, and even then, not all of the features work. Learn from my experience and take a pass.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Great for the price if you can use it
What's not so great: Install if you use Windows 7
I have multiple computers, all all work on Windows 7,it was a terrible to install it, and you can not install any of the other software that comes with it.
This webcam has been out for awhile, and they still not figured out how to get the webcam to Install without you haveing to turnoff all the extras on your computer to keep it from crashing your computer.
SO IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 7, DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to install , use, and longlasting.
What's not so great: The quality of the video is poor, the built in mic and auto light correct.
This is my first webcam.It will work and last a long time. The installation was simple and it was easy to use. It does work with all video calling sites. One proble was the quality of the video it is very pixelated. The second is the mic isn't very good. It claims to deliver clear sounds with a noisy background but it struggles to deliver a clear sound in a quite room. Third the auto light correct is useless. I enjoy using this product but it is only OKAY not good, not great and not bad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's not so great: The USB cord could be a couple inches longer
Easily recognized by the mutliple public computers I tried it on at the base internet cafe. Nice video that doesnt give you the "FATHEAD" look that one gets from a built in laptop camera.
I ordered this product and got it delivered to the other side of the world in just a week.

I always believed that LogiTech had great products. Wrong!! I bought this Web cam on sale. I installed it and thought all was well. Wrong again. I use Windows 7. I could not get the thing to record my voice. The support team was totally useless. I paid $29.95 for a software program that didn't work either. My speakers were OK as well as the microphone with the Web cam.. Still can't record with sound.
I wouldn't waste my time, and above all my money, buying this thing. It may have worked well for other Window versions but not Windows 7.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Video Quality/Brightness
What's not so great: Setup/drivers/microphone
Generally, I am a huge fan of Logitech. They make good quality stuff. Unfortunately, the problem I had with this device is that it would not install properly on my windows 7, either from the included cd or from the downloaded software from the logitech site. The hangup was always when it tried to install the drivers, esp. for the mic. Of the two times I did get it to install, everything worked except the mic; it didn't recognized the mic and said no drivers were installed. It looks like from the other reviews that it worked fine, just not in my experience. And I like things working right the first time. Switching to a Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 today.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to install
What's not so great: Big green splotches in the picture that will NOT be removed.
I installed the webcam and previewed - big green splotches in the picture. I did all of the suggestions offered in FAQ and still had big green splotches. I contacted Logitech for help, they referred me to a third party who wanted $58 to "consider" my problem. I still have green splotches and no way to get rid of them except buy a different webcam. Lousy customer service and lousy product,
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Price, ease-of-use, quality of mic's sound.
We are first-time webcam users. Works great with our Compaq laptop. The price for this is great at $20. I am told the sound is good, too. Very easy to install and use, and it doesn't take up much room at home. We got it to use with skype, and haven't had call to use any extra logitech features yet.

What's great about it: Installation, microphone and the quality of the picture
What's not so great: I wish I needed it sooner.
I think it's a great camera and the microphone is terrific. It's easy to install and operate. I have Win XP and I haven't had any problems with it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a camera with a microphone with good quality.
