So I borrowed a Logitech C510 to see what a HD Webcam can do. It's capable of 720p output (Currently, YouTube only goes up to 720p). This particular webcam isn't specifically made for the MacBook but it works. I tried taking pictures and recording videos with it and was pretty impressed with the quality.
Here's a sample picture taken with the webcam. Not bad right? It's crisp looking, not grainy or faded. It's a bit overexposed with my desk light settings so I'm not sure if I can make tutorials at night. It could be that the webcam wasn't used to it's full potential since it's not really for a Mac. Nevertheless, it's still a pretty neat device.
I'll be uploading the videos recorded with this cam very soon. The webcam is around $55 on Amazon. If you're on a PC and looking for a webcam then this is definitely worth checking out. For myself I can't seem decide to decide if I should try the Logitech C910 with 1080p output as well? or try the Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro for the Mac that's priced $20 higher than the C510. What do you guys think?
XOXO, M
Hey Mona, the quality isn't bad at all. I try to film on my macbook and the webcam on my camera is so bad too because of poor lighting. I was debating if I should get the same camera canon s95 that records HD quality and not sure how I'll be able to record myself without seeing what I'm exactly doing.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how the PC logitech works, if you don't have to spend that extra 20 something and the PC logitech works find then I'll you should stick with it.
Heheh you look so cute! I'm pretty impressed that this is such high quality. I'm so used to grainy webcam pictures and videos lol
ReplyDeletewow...the photo came up really really well :)
ReplyDeletehi mona! =) the picture quality is awesome =) You look adorable in the pic! =)
ReplyDeleteWow! The quality is great! My webcam quality looks like crap -.-
ReplyDeleteI think the quality looks so good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this.
ooh it looks pretty good! i agree with recording with a camera...i put a mirror behind my camera and i have a mini-tripod...it's a hassle but i love my hd cam :[ and i totally agree about the macbook pro camera! i thought it would be better!! :[
ReplyDeletei actually got this same webcam over black friday. it was on sale at office max for $40. And I'm loving it. I've been filming videos on youtube lately and it performs really well even on low light!
ReplyDeleteIt is great. I think Logitech has created a great product for a very reasonable cost.
