I really love these webcams BUT... as a warning to others:
If you intend on buying two of these to use at the same time on the same computer... beware.

I got two of these to live stream with two camera angles and I even went through a long chat with Logitech as well. The logitech software that lets you adjust focus, color, white balance, zoom, etc... only works (well) with a single camera at once. I have to plug one webcam in, configure it, then plug in the second one and hope that the software recognizes that one as the Alpha-Webcam so that I can then adjust it while the other holds it's settings.

Another recommendation:
Unless you actually benefit from it (I would do a lot of testing first), I do not recommend using Auto-Focus with this webcam. In the type of setup we have the webcam is constantly trying to refocus and it can sometimes make the stream un-watchable like you're wearing the wrong prescription of glasses.

And again:
I also recommend letting the auto-color and auto-white-balance do it's thing but then once you get it dialed in... turn it off and tweak it a little yourself to find that sweet spot otherwise it will be going crazy trying to constantly adjust the picture "for you". If you want or need this feature then it is pretty cool, though. It's just possible to get a much better picture out of it by manually setting these things.

Finally:
The picture is GREAT. I would not recommend the on-board microphone for these as they are sub-par but if you've got nothing else they are good compared to other webcam models at this price point. Shots included taken during Facebook Live Stream which is also only streamed at 720p (though these are capable of full 1080).

I absolutely love this webcam. I have been running a youtube channel for a long time and only had the Logitech C270 to use for it. The difference between this and that is night and day, huge difference and im so happy I made the upgrade. It catches lighting perfect and has a very good image quality as well as nice auto focusing.The image and video I took with this for this amazon review are in normal evening room lighting with one lamp in the corner of the room. Usually for better quality I have an extra light in front of my face but for the purposes of showing it for the average setup I did not include the extra light. Now onto some pros and cons!

Pros:
~One of the top quality video/picture qualities available on any webcam
~smooth and fast video at 30fps regardless of what you are broadcasting with or recording with
~more than decent lighting adjustments even on automatic settings
~Logitech webcam software is not as bad or horrible as the internet makes it out to be, what I recorded for this was done using that.
~Widescreen with full 1080p support
~Comes with a ferite core on the cable to help with the quality sent

Cons:
~Slightly blurry, for the hype I thought it would be up to par with modern phone cameras on clarity but thats my own expectations and not a promise from them at all
~Built in microphones are not good quality, better to spend $30 on a better mic setup, to get started I suggest something like the NW-700 which is what I recorded the video with and I did not edit or modify the sound at all.

Overall I love this camera, it works well, installed automatically, and serves all of its purposes beautifully.

I must say, this webcam is a blast!
USB, easy to setup, works with any program that can use a webcam as a device.
I have had zero problems with this so far.
I picked this up for $55, for that price this is a steal.
This is the streamers webcam of choice on all major websites.

Keep in mind, this is only for the webcam, you do not get any tripod's or any other attachments. BUT it can clip onto the monitor by its self, so nothing to worry about there.

I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in a webcam.

Do it.
