While not up to par with a dedicated camcorder, it provides exceptional quality for a webcam. It can manage 1080p video at 29fps while maintaining focus and light balancing.
The mount is very adaptable to nearly every situation, whether it's standing on a desk or clipped to a monitor or laptop screen. The rear hinge allows for it to better grip curved surfaces (as opposed to having a flat grip point), and it also can tilt vertically ensuring you are centered in the frame.
There is also a standard threaded tripod attachment point, so you can stand it up with virtually any tripod.
There are plenty of adjustable controls available, from amusing effects such as filters and video masks to digital pan/tilt/zoom, auto/manual focus, and follow my face. No matter the lighting, distance, or angle, the C920 will make the most of any situation.
The USB cable can't be removed - its permanently attached to the rear of the cam. This means that if something happens to the cable (pets or other accidents) you will have to buy a whole new cam instead of just a new cable.
The cable is 6ft, sufficiently long for just about any regular use, however for some situations it may not be long enough. For others, the 6ft cable will be too long, and will be left in a coil. With a replaceable cable, you could swap it out with a better fitting cable for your desk.
With up to 1080p resolution at 30fps, the image quality is very good. It can drop a few frames here and there, but overall it offers admirable image quality.
If the cable gets damaged, you will need to buy a new webcam instead of simply replacing the cable. Also, the 5-ft cable may be too long/short for your setup depending on where you want the webcam and where your computer is. A removable cable would solve both of these issues.
For a webcam under $100, the Logitech C922x has a surprising picture quality. The picture looks sharp, the colors look accurate, and all that out of the box without changing any settings.
The picture is sharp and the colors look good even in a low-light environment, for example when gaming in a dark room with just the monitor's light shining on you.
The C922x comes with background replacement software, which cuts out the background behind you. This way your webcam picture will take less space on the stream and the content will be more visible.
The Logitech C920 dominated the streaming webcam market for years until it got retired. The C922x is basically the same wecam, with some of the issues solved. The most noticeable difference is that when the C920 suffered in frame rate and picture quality in a low-light room, then the C922x looks great and stays at a stable 30 frames per second even when the room is dark.
This webcam is capable of streaming at 60fps (frames per second). If you are streaming the game at 60 fps aswell, then the stream will look much smoother than it would with a 30 fps webcam.
The mount is very adaptable to nearly every situation, whether it's on a tripod or clipped to your monitor. The rear hinge allows for it to better grip curved surfaces (as opposed to having a flat grip point), and it also can tilt vertically ensuring you are centered in the frame.
The image quality of this webcam is the best you can get for under $50. Other qualities of the webcam, like the microphone sound quality, attaching options, ease of use are great aswell. If you don't want to pay an extra $20+, this webcam is the best option on the market.
There is no setup to worry about, plug it into your Windows, macOS or Chrome OS device and it's ready to be used without any additional software.
You can install additional software, like the Logitech Webcam Controller, if you want to manually change exposure, brightness, contrast, color intensity, focus etc.
The cord is 3 feet long, instead of the regular 6 feet. You should check if 3 feet is enough to reach from the USB port to the desired webcam location.
Compared to the best webcams under $100, like the Logitech C920, the image lacks sharpness and brightness. The image quality is definitely better than for regular budget webcams - it doesn't look bad.
