Useless product
By Gilbin Georgeon
Ordered C270, but Flipkart delivered C170model.
Logitech HD Webcam C270 tested on Mac Mini (late 2008 edition, Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6.8)
By RYAN REMMY FERNANDESon
Thanks to Flipkart for the great delivery service. Although the expected shipping time was 7 to 8 business days. It was worth the wait time.
I must say i was very skeptical, whether to purchase this webcam or not. I wanted a product that could work on a mac as well as Windows, but the webcams which were compatible with mac, were often quoted with a high price and were high end webcams. Hence i tried my luck on Logitech's website to check if there were any compatible series. Below are the details that i found on Logitech's Website.
The following UVC cameras are supported on the Mac:
Camera Name Model Number (M/N) Part Number (P/N)
HD Pro Webcam C910 V-U0017 860-000266
HD Webcam C270 V-U0018 860-000270
HD Webcam C310 V-U0015 860-000259
HD Webcam C510 V-U0016 860-000261
HD Webcam C615 V-U0027 860-000328
QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac V-UBM46 860-000143
The Logitech HD Webcam C270 works fine with OS X, but you have to install the software before you plug it into the USB port. There isn't a native OS X driver for this webcam.
The software (Logitech Webcam Software.mpkg) is in the CD that comes in the product box but is not avaiable to download from the website. So if your Mac doesn't have a CD/DVD drive you'll have to use another Mac with a CD/DVD drive or any other computer to copy it to a thumb drive or send it via network or internet to your Mac. Video quality was fantastic, picture is enhanced to 3.0 megapixels via the Logitech software. Microphone was also working just fine. When connected via Facebook chat, i got an error i.e Webcam not found, as this was my first webcam, so i had to manually select "Logitech usb webcam" on the Facebook chat window, as well as select "unknown usb mic". Later everything just worked fine, tried skype, yahoo messenger, worked just fine. Everything was up and running.
Tried to use it on my windows xp pc, it works just fine.....
Note:- The product doesn't mention any support on the box for Mac, But the website does.
Overall the picture quality was brilliant...
As easy as plug-and-play
By ZEESHAN ALI KHANon
The webcam was just awesome. I was so far using the inbuilt VGA camera of my HP Pavilion laptop, and that used to produce very dull, not just grainy but almost shattered type of video on Skype calls even though I have a 8Mbps line.
I got this HD camera today and my friends were like... SHOCKED!
Pros:
- In-built high quality mic with noise reduction
- Single USB port for both camera and mic, doesn't use a separate audio cable for mic like intex, iball, frontech, adcom etc.
- Superb color rich imaging even in ultra low light
- Works perfectly even when you are in totally dark room and the only source of light is your laptop screen (I keep my laptop at 2-3 feet away and that much light is enough for this webcam)
- Small unobtrusive size and light weight
- No nightvision LEDs to disturb your eyes, its already so sensitive
- Plug and play, no need to run the CD if you are using it with Skype, Google hangout etc. (It gets drivers automatically from Windows update, 5.5MB approx.)
- Face tracking: Follow my face (with software)
- Logitech has its own free video calling software called Vid HD (Skype allows HD only to paid members and free version is standard non-HD video, the only plus point: Skype is commonly known)
- Capture and record images and videos using the software provided (just in case you don't have such software installed)
Cons:
- The clip is not very firm. I haven't checked on a CRT and LCD monitor, but the thin panel of a laptop is not actually tightly clipped. The webcam just "sits" on the top with a support instead of "holding it tightly" using a spring controlled clip. Still, its easy to use when the laptop is used normally (kept on table, you walk holding it.. it won't fall off)
Some great person has written: "The video would be grainy". How can someone just postulate a hypothesis stating "WOULD BE"? I assure that "IT IS" smooth. Obviously if you need better quality, then you are selecting a wrong model. You probably need a Studio Camera instead. Try some Studio grade webcams which cost around 10,000 INR. This is an entry level webcam, and is par excellence in its range.
Regarding delivery, I was scared after ordering as the seller was mentioned as WS Retail, and I read majority of the reviews as negative for this seller. I even thought of cancelling my order once. But I was lucky, I ordered on 6th evening and received it well packed on 8th afternoon (45 hours approx including a sunday). I got a dispatched SMS within an hour. Usually Flipkart's own orders take at least 72 hours at my location. So all in all the delivery by WS Retail was also good.

Good Cam for the price
By Aditya Nawalgariaon
If you are in the market for a decent Skype Webcam, the C270 makes a decent choice.
First, the positives. Its HD, so you get 720P video (in reality, you can get 960P video in non widescreen mode). The (admittedly mono) microfone is brilliant, eleminating background noise very well. Logitech's rightsight and other tech also helps get a decent picture.
Make no mistake though, you get what you pay for. Do not expect the same quality as with 720P in smartfone cameras, as the sensor in this webcam is much lower quality. The video would be grainy and not that good in comparison, HD or not. Forget about pictures, as they arent really 3Megapixels, they are upscaled via software (natively they are just 0.9 megapixel). You could upscale a picture to any megapixel count, so the 3Mpixel count is highly misleading.
Note that no video effects are included in the rather buggy software. Also, the camera is not compatible with logitech's Windows 8 Metro app, though the Windows 8 camera app works very well with it.
For around 1k, this cam might not offer the best quality pictures, but what it offers is enough for skype and chatting.
Good
By VIVEK MISHRAon
Since it's my first interaction with Flipkart, but unfortunately i am dissatisfied with the product & its's packaging, because when i received the product, i didnt found the product as a new, it seems like that it's being re-used & re-packed in a new box...as there's were lots of scratches as well as finger pints over it, & alos looses its glossy shine..
It seems that the any person has repack the product into a box & send it over me.
My question from flipkart is, if the product is imported from other country with a seal pack proof, then how there's a scratches & finger prints over it.. ???
Guyss plz make sure before purchasing any product online,, thts the product given to you all is directly from the seller with original seal pack,,, without any repack 2-3 times & contains all the hardware/software's in it..

Good product for daily/frequent use
By Amazon Customeron
The webcam has got a good video quality. Surprisingly, the audio is better than I anticipated. I had some trouble getting the webcam connected with flash player; I have windows10 running on my machine, but a little troubleshooting sorted things out. Also, it has got decent length of wire to connect CPU with monitor (on desktops).Over all, a good product for daily/frequent use.
Superb Webcam
By Nivin Thomason
Logitech webcam is too good at this price range. We can record hd videos using this webcam and also pics.It's very good skype video calling and it's microphone is also good. If you are looking for a webcam @ 1k just buy this one ,don't waste your time comparing with other webcams. Delivery and shipping of the product was fast. Thanks Amazon
Not recommended to go for it.
By Yogesh Jangidon
Don't go for it guys Its one of the third class webcam, Its maximum FPS is 7-10, even picture quality is not Good as It should be, Its better to go VGA camera instead of this. I found it really very useless and after contacting amazon for return, they are not accepting as they don't allow electronics gadget's return according to their policy. So please before placing order think twice.
