The first webcam I have ever used was on my HP Pavilion laptop. I can’t say it was the greatest because I had nothing to compare it to. The picture wasn’t as clear as I thought (really grainy) and the connection was terrible. Maybe it was because of my cable modem – who knows. All I know is that the picture never looked like what I thought a webcam should have — a clear picture.
That is until I used the Logitech® HD Pro Webcam C910.
My sister travels frequently for business. She’s an auditor. Her job takes her all around the world and in the states. Sometimes she’s away for up to 3 weeks at a time. The only way for us to communicate when she’s out of town is through our webcam. But like I said before, my laptop webcam was terrible.
I was beyond grateful and glad to have received the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 for review because it made a huge difference in the picture and the way I stay connected with my sister – which is the main reason I wanted a webcam in the first place.
It took a while to finally use it. With my sister being really busy with her job, she didn’t get a chance to video chat with us until recently. And let me tell you, I will never go back to using the webcam on my laptop.
Installation
It was fairly easy and quick to install the webcam. Mount the webcam on top of your screen (should fit any flat-screen monitor), plug in the USB cable and insert the disc. It’s very easy to navigate. Just follow the directions on your screen and you’re ready to video chat with anyone.

My Experience
The first time I used the Logitech Webcam C910, I was really impressed. The picture is stunningly clear, the sound is crisp and the C910 even takes 10 megapixel photos. My favorite part of the C910 is that it auto-focuses everything – the picture, the person, the lighting and it also zooms in/out to get the best picture without adjusting anything yourself. It’s extremely easy to use and you don’t have to be tech-savvy either.
My kids had a ball with the special effects that comes with the C910. The c910 comes with avatars, fun filters, face accessories and video masks too. You can also download more face options for free at Logitech.com. This is my first HD webcam and it’s certainly my last. No wonder its the number one selling webcam in the industry.
Overall, the Logitech Webcam C910 is a fantastic webcam. It gives you a superb picture you could ever ask for in a webcam.
You can purchase the Logitech C910 Webcam at Amazon today at a very low price of $71.99.
Disclosure: Logitech sent me the webcam for review purposes. I’m an Amazon Affiliate. If you purchase the webcam through my link, I get a few cents.
Sounds like a pretty awesome webcam! Thanks for the review.

Technically, it’s my second one and most likely my last. It’s really a fantastic webcam.
That video was funny. Was hoping that is was self made and not from Logitech.
I wish i had enough money to buy an awesome webcam like it!
