The Anker PowerConf C200 is for people who take video calls from a desk and want a sharper image than 1080p. It suits those who value a physical privacy cover and a choice of field of view. It is not for anyone who needs 4K, auto-framing or a camera to cover a whole room.

Logitech C270 HD Webcam

4.7/10verdict: skip

The Logitech C270 is for people who want a simple USB webcam for video calls and nothing more. It suits a desk where setup should take seconds and the microphone has to do the job without a headset. It is a weaker fit if you need a sharp image, a privacy shutter or any control over focus.
