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.
