Logitech HD Laptop Webcam C615 with Fold-and-Go Design, 360-Degree Swivel, 1080p Camera

I recently purchased the Logitech HD Laptop Webcam C615 and am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The fold-and-go design makes it incredibly easy to take wherever I go, and the 360-degree swivel allows me to adjust the camera to any angle I need.The 1080p camera is crystal clear and provides sharp, detailed images whenever I use it. I use this webcam for video conferencing, which is a game changer. The quality of the video is so good that it makes it feel like I'm in the same room as the person I'm talking to.The autofocus feature is another excellent aspect of this webcam. It ensures that I am always in focus, no matter how much I move around. The built-in microphone is also perfect and picks up my voice clearly without background noise.One of the things I appreciate the most about this webcam is the lack of software needed to install it. As a result, it was a breeze to set up and use, which is especially important since I'm not the most tech-savvy person out there.Overall, I highly recommend the Logitech HD Laptop Webcam C615 to anyone needing a reliable and high-quality webcam. It is an excellent investment for anyone needing to video conference regularly or even for casual use. The fact that it is reasonably priced only makes it even more appealing.

The media could not be loaded. NOTE: Video quality is reduced for Amazon upload. I am NOT using the built-in microphone for the video. You will see the mic samples in my testing clips though! :)Things that I love about this webcam:Tripod Base - Great feature for online tutoring. I can set the webcam on a tripod and point it down to my desk to play games with my student.3-foot Extension Cord - A great (and almost a must) if you want to use it on a tripod and/or need to move your camera location.Portable - Folding the webcam will cover the lens, so you won't have to worry about damaging the lens during transportation.Small Size - When folded, it is about 2.5 inches in width. About 1.5" in thickness. I have a small hand, but this thing is small!360 Degree Flexibility - Gotta love how flexible it is! You can adjust it in any way to sit it on a laptop. You can rotate it 360 to find the perfect angle you are looking for.Decent Microphone - Better microphone than my computer's built-in microphone that is for sure. Please see the video for a testing sample.Auto Focus - Auto focus for me is a bit iffy. When showing an item, sometimes it works wonder, other times it can take a while to adjust. When just doing a video chat, it focuses on me perfectly fine.Additional Features:Follow My Face/Pan/Tilt - You can control these features from the software. I don't use them but they are there if you need them. I don't have the testing clip in my overview video, but I do have individual testing clips on my channel.RightSound/RightLight - These two features I leave them checked since they help improving the quality of the video quality. But in case you want to reduce your quality for whatever reason, you can turn them off ;DManual Focus - You can use the slider from the software controls to move the slider to adjust the focus point.Things that I wasn't expecting:The webcam is advertised as 1080P, but if you are planning on using the 1080P for video recording, you might run into the problem of having to wait for a long time for compression if your computer is average like mine. There is no cancel option while it is compression either. My computer spec is the following:Intel Core i5 M430Memory: 4 GBOS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bitBut I do want to point out that 720P was sufficient for my video recording at the time. I bought the webcam back in August 2013.Overall I am very happy with the webcam. I love the built and the quality. Great little webcam that helped me finished my video project back in the days.

This WebCam works great. It is a terrific value and the hardware gives you a sharp clear image. I think it's a great product but I did have one problem with it that wasn't mentioned in the setup instructions. I'm running a custom-built Asus P8Z68-V running 64-bit Windows 7 which was set up for photography and video editing. The install for the C615 required download since only Windows 8 is supported on the disk. I have never had an install problem with any software before until the installation of the Logitech C615 and I have over 120 gig of programs alone installed on SSD. The install for the C615 failed 4 times in a row. 3 of those resulted in a BSOD and one install failure required me to run the Windows repair utility (which said it was unable to repair anything). When I repeated the install after a BSOD shut down, the install would apparently proceed to completion but the WebCam was not detected (yes, it was plugged in). I finally discovered that the C615 would work depending on which USB port it was plugged into. Apparently all the install problems were strictly dependent on whatever rear panel USB it was plugged into. Worked fine off the front panel USB. I shifted around USB plugs and finally found a different rear USB plug that the C615 worked with. i,e. that would not result in a BSOD halfway through the install. After working through all that, the C615 is worked flawlessly. While I'm happy with the hardware, the install was a nightmare and I would've appreciated heads up that the hardware is sensitive to whatever USB is used. Note that I did specifically use the rear panel motherboard USB plug-in to avoid any issues with USB hubs. obviously, it didn't like the 1st USB but had no problems with the 2nd. Whatever I plugged into the 1st USB works fine. The C615 was touchy and there is nothing in the documentation to indicate there could be an issue. I deducted one star because of that. apart from the install, the hardware and software has performed perfectly.I purchased this product in April 2013 and posted this review in October. It's worked flawlessly for 6 months and I have every expectation that it's longevity will be excellent. One other note: I primarily use it to Skype and I've had comments that my voice has an echo when I use the onboard microphone in the C615. My voice is clear and the pickup is very good (considering the distance between where I normally sit and the monitor where the unit is perched) but the echo is only there if I use the onboard mic. If I switch to my headset mic, there is no echo. I think the onboard microphone in the C615 is very sensitive which would normally be an excellent attribute but in my case, my office has a tile floor and hard surface walls which contribute to a small but noticeable echo. It's less a function of the microphone than the environment it's used in. As I said, it's sensitivity would normally be an excellent attribute.
