Logitech C310 Review

I have a webcam. It does its job and I was happy with it. I plugged it in and I would have to get the focus right and then mess with the settings, so I could be seen. I don’t live in a cave but my old webcam thought I did. I thought: this is as good as it gets. Boy, was I wrong.

Little did I know how wrong I was. Logitech sent me a webcam to see what I thought. In the mail I received the Logitech HD Webcam C310. Right on the box it says, “automatic light correction for dim light, poor backlight.” When you read that, you think it’s just marketing copy to sell webcams. I can say that it did auto correct my lighting and my video was big, bright and beautiful. Maybe not beautiful, but handsome doesn’t start with a B. The clarity and brightness sure made me think I was. The picture quality was very impressive.

First I had to install the camera’s software. I am running Windows Vista and the install was smooth with no hick ups. The installation process walked me through it all step by step with no room for error.

Once I plugged in the webcam I was off and running and recording video and taking snap shots. It comes with the free Logitech webcam service that enables you to talk and see anyone else you know on the service. Father’s Day is coming up and this would be a great gift for him to stay in contact with you and possibly the grandkids, if that’s your scenario.

It also has the option to upload HD video to Youtube or Facebook with one click. It also integrates with Skype, Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger. What ever flavor you like this webcam has it.

I went a little crazy and started posting video responses to my friends and family on Facebook. I made about 5 posts in 10 minutes. Luckily, my videos were appreciated. Let’s just say I went hog wild making videos because it was fun and easy.

The Logictech HD Webcam C310 is easy to install and easy to use. Quality of the lens and picture are great. The only problems I had was the standard video effects would stop working from time to time and I would have to restart.

The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely that of the blog owners. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider. I have been given a product free of charge, but that does not impact my views or opinions in any freakin’ way.
