I have this camera for three days now and can't believe, the quality is more than expected definitely and A++++++. The face tracking technology lets me move here and there & it follows and makes it more fun, lively & realistic than --just sitting and chatting. Installtion was easy on my windows 7 PC & have to be honest; its a little complex on the installation & functionality on the Macbook pro notebook. Finally it had it functional on mac but the zooming and face tracking would not work. With 1080p calling on skype or Logitech Vid HD, it just has made the world a little bit smaller again!! :) Photo/video quaility is crisp, clean, and very detailed!! One can somehow feel the H.264 encoding as lines in the backgroud occasionally with more high quality movements in frames capturing the face. A little overpriced and thus would wait for the price to go down in a month or two to get it again for my relatives and friends who prefer vidoe-chatting with me! If you dont have a PC camera and looking for the finest in the market- close your eyes and go for it!

Have tried two cameras on three different HP dc7900 SFF PCs. All Behave the same - With Camera plugged in PC will not POST. Yes, I updated BIOS to disable Boot from USB. Currently this has been elevated to Tier2.
I have tried the c910 - works great, that is why I tried the c920. May be time to downgrade or switch to another vendor.

The software from Logitech for this device is NOT user friendly.
First of all it is NOT set up for users with dual monitors. It switches back to the main monitor when I cahnge a setting then I have to bring it back to the monitor I WANT IT TO DISPLAY ON. I really get frustrated when software is NOT able to do what I want it to do. When I set it to display on a monitor I know what I am doing and I set it on that monitor for a reason. Like I can actualy see if on that screen. What a thought, a user who knows what they are doing.
Another screen issue but the software will not maximize and so when used on a tower system with a 32 inch MONITOR behind me and a 45 inch TV in front, from across the room it is really hard to see and make changes to the controls.
I guess it is good for a laptop but I wan to use it on my media system.
Many times without any apparent reason, when recording the software will count down and then not record. This is actually more of an issue with using a high quality USB mic so I am forced to use the built in one which is good but not as good as the one I want to use.
So far I have not had much time actually using the camera because each time i try to tweek it I run into issues.
I will try to find better software than the low end stuff Logitech distributes and hope my experiance is better. I normally am quite pelased with Logitech, I wish that were true with this as well.

I had high expectations but poor results. I wanted to use the device for recording myself playing the guitar. The audio was garbled and distorted when playing music. Speech was flat and unnatural sounding. I am returning it immediately.

This truely is the BEST webcam I've ever used and between you and me, Logitech outdid themselves here. It's like Logitech was already #1 in webcams but now after this, there is literally and flat out no way that any other manufacturer will ever come close. I look forward to videochatting with people and actually perfer it to the real thing. The only thing Logitech needs to work on is increasing the audio sample rate and bit depth from 2 channel, 16 bit, 32000 Hz (FM Radio Quality) to 2 channel, 24 bit, especially if users want to use this camera on Skype (and othe rprograms) which support WideBand.
