Which webcam?

AWBbox · 7 Aug 2011 at 19:08

I want to buy a webcam, looking for the following:

Best video quality possible
(Preferably) able to handle low light conditions
(Preferably) with a swivel on the mount
Audio quality doesn't matter as I will be using a separate mic

I was looking at the Logitech C910 but would it really be that much better than the C510? I would like to buy the best but I don't see any sense in spending money needlessly.

I would appreciate hearing your recommendations!

I don't always bump threads, but when I do, I get responses.

I'd kind of discounted that webcam because all the videos I've seen people take with it have a horrible high-pitched whine/hissing from the mic. Can anyone confirm/deny this happens for them?

I know, but if it was a choice between buying a product with a defect and one without, I would have to go for the latter just on principle.

Upon checking the Logitech website I discovered that they actually have a couple of new models of webcam I wasn't aware of. The C525 has more features I would make use of and has a decent price point so I think I'll go for that!

Thanks for your contributions.
