Overview

I have several times mentioned in my previous reviews that price means quality is not good perception while I had superb high quality products sold at affordable prices like; HyperX CloudX Gaming Headset (Quality product with affordable price). But this Logitech C270 HD Webcam has made me agree that affordability mostly comes with sacrificing some beneficial features at least. You never get affordable products without sacrificing Bit of ease. Logitech C270 HD Webcam on the other hand is high selling Amazon’s choice with super-attractive 4.3 star rating suggesting that it is one of the user recommended product on Amazon. Below I am going to justify why and what features you are going to miss if you opt for Logitech C270 HD Webcam.

Fixed Focus

One thing that irritates me about webcam is fixed focus. Today when everyone is busy and stuck to many jobs and responsibilities, no one finds time to adjust his/her webcam again and again. We seek comfort behind every investment we make. Therefore Logitech C270 HD Webcam’s fixed focus is annoying to me. I have to adjust it or myself to be visible with clarity and in mic range. While webcam like Razer Kiyo X and GUSGU G910 1440P Quad HD offer both affordability and auto-focus. Auto focus in these webcams increase your productivity and provide you ultimate user experience.

Shorter Field of View

When there are other competitors with even affordable or slight high price they provide 100+ FOV, while my friend if you buy this, you would dream for it and stuck with just 55 degree field of view. That is quite shorter and might not be helpful for many specially those who prefer having larger view.

720p is that? NO

Yeah! You read right. That is the major drawback. In this era where robots started serving coffees in China, AI has developed a lot and there is not time left that AI takes over human tasks, resulting in loss of jobs for many. But what you get is basically what you paid. 720p not up to date when resolution moving to 4K and more, Logitech must have had some sympathy with those seeking affordable webcams. 1080p was a must in this era and more over meeting the requirements of professional attire. Therefore try not to go live on professional meetings, clients might not find it comfortable and commendable.

No Privacy Cover for Logitech C270 HD Webcam

Privacy cover is just another feature that your camera be capable of. Privacy cover protects your digital life. It automatically turns off when not in use, hence securing your personal life from hackers spying on you. Therefore privacy cover lets you enjoy privacy, security and peace of mind.

Short USB cable to connect

Logitech C270 HD Webcam is rich in compatibility, you can connect it to Window 8 or later versions, Mac 10.10 or later, ChromeOS and renowned calling platforms and USB cable is quite long enough to connect to the system. But if you want to connect it to desktop PC cable definitely is short and you have to find a solutions.

Horizontal Rotation

One more thing is that it does not support horizontal rotation, no tilt is something I wouldn’t want to see in my webcam. This is also because it offers 55 degree field of view.

Microphone feels a bit far

Logitech C270 HD Webcam offers a microphone that serves performs better. The microphone is mono and can be connected to 1 meter distance.

Logitech C270 HD Webcam provides value for the money except some issues like fixed focus. Though published and informed via internet and official website, It lacks auto focus that would have been more acceptable to people now a days.

Rich Compatibility

Despite lacking some important features it offers good level of connectivity with several devices including windows, Mac ,ChromeOS and many more. But due to it’s short wire you can’s connect it on Desktop PC.

Mic is a plus for the price

Logitech C270 HD Webcam’s mic is good one, behaving to every instruction correctly but it feels a bit far from the users. thus making it difficult to use it.

Satisfactory 720p resolution

Our research suggest that many customers have found it satisfactory and justified for the price but not yet up to dated. One more thing is that It delivers good resolution, thus a good option for low-budget users.

Fixed Focus Vs Auto Focus

We have found mixed reviews regarding fixed focus and FOV. Few customers find fixed focus more comfortable as compared to auto focus because auto focus always keeps searching and finding objects to focus on that can be irritating to some extent. While fixed focus there is no such worry.

FOV is negative

Negative! No It isn’t negative but 55 degree field of view. It is not appreciated by the users. While comparing different products and their features they suggest investing few more pennies to enjoy greater value for the price.
