Logitech C270 HD Webcam review

Logitech C270 HD Webcam

Now when most people are working from home, they have to attend office meetings virtually. So, having a good webcam is really important. Even if laptops come with a built-in webcam, not all laptop offers a good webcam. Even my Macbook offers a really bad webcam. So, I have to use an external webcam to have a clear calling webcam. Recently, I started using Logitech C270 HD Webcam. This webcam is inexpensive and targets people who are working from home and kids who are using online classes for learning. If you are looking to buy this webcam, read my review of the Logitech C270 HD Webcam before making your buying decision.

Logitech C270 HD review

Logitech C270 comes with a traditional webcam design. It has light in weight and doesn’t look bulky. If I talk about dimensions, the webcam is 2.9 inches high, 2.6 inches deep, and 1.3 inches wide. There is a universal clip that fits properly on laptops and monitors. There’s nothing for panning the webcam, but you can easily adjust the camera angle up and down. The webcam is also not tripod-ready. The overall build quality is good. It can withstand drops and is easy to carry. This is plug and play webcam that doesn’t require any additional setup.

The webcam also includes a 5 feet USB-A cable. So, the cable is long enough for any kind of desktop setup. There is no privacy shutter.

Logitech C270 HD Webcam can record or stream 720p videos at 30fps. It produces clear pictures but is not as good as in 1080p webcams. So, you need to consider it is a 720p webcam and have a realistic expectation from it. This webcam is good enough for video calls or streaming. It just gets the work done. The webcam doesn’t reproduce the range of colors. You will find many vibrant colors washed out. So, I don’t recommend this webcam if you want to use it for recording high-quality videos of yourself. Still, this webcam works much better than the built-in webcam of my MacBook Air 2019. This camera can also capture decent photos and supports auto light correction to enhance the quality.

Here’s a photo that I captured using Logitech C270.

The webcam has a fixed focus camera and the field of view is fixed at 55 degrees. Unlike several costly Logitech webcams, you cannot rotate it from landscape to portrait mode or pan.

There is also a built-in microphone that does a good job. The mic also blocks a lot of noise for an improved calling experience. So, you don’t really need a dedicated mic or a headphone with a mic for calls.

Wrap Up

If you are looking for a simple webcam for office video calls, online classes, and normal work, Logitech 270 HD Webcam is a good option to go with. It records 720p videos and has a good mic that can work better than a laptop’s built-in mic.
