Usually priced around $60, Logitech\u2019s C920S Pro HD provides better video and mic quality than others that I tested in this price range. This model can record in 1080p resolution at up to 30 frames per second, and while you won\u2019t have an issue finding other similarly-priced webcams with those specs, the C920S Pro\u2019s out-of-box color balance, exposure, and relatively fast auto-focus made it stand out from others I tested.<\/p>\n

The picture quality has sufficient detail, and even in my relatively dark apartment, the C920S Pro had no trouble making my facial features look sharp. But it wasn\u2019t a flawless presentation overall, as is to be expected for the price. In less-than-ideal lighting scenarios, the C920S Pro made my skin look over-saturated, with red spots where the webcam couldn\u2019t compensate for the lack of lighting. Though in a work or play environment flush with natural light, this was noticeably less of an issue.<\/p>\n

Picture quality aside, the C920S Pro has several welcome features, like a generous 78-degree field of view, status lights that activate when the webcam is being used by an application, and an included privacy shutter that can give you assurance that you\u2019re not broadcasting unless you want to be. Some other nice features at this price include its strong articulating stand, which can sit atop your monitor or just as easily screw into a tripod. It\u2019s just a great value for the price.<\/p>\n
