    Lifecam CLEARLY beats the other one in audio quality.. Much better treble / high frequency response than C920 IMHO. Logitech sound dull and 'overfiltered' which is weird because the mic placement is much better with Logitech.

      +Zsavage1 it all really depends on your needs tbh. I have a $200+ professional condenser mic connected to my PC so yeah I'd definitely pick the Logitech. But for people who don't have external mics the Microsoft may make total sense if they value sound over picture quality.

      Tommynnd Well, you probably just have a terrible headset then. I prefer using my Yeti for recording audio, but when I'm doing video conferences I typically use my headset. Both of my microphones outperforms the 920's (and that of the Lifecam) microphone noticeably.

I don't have the webcam myself, nor have I ever seen the software but that's how I understood it :P

    • @EricMalette
      @EricMalette 4 роки тому

      At first this is what I thought too, although he probably meant that he didn't know what pixel ratio an 8MP image would be (nearly 4K equivalent) compared to 1080p which is roughly 2MP.

    Did you mix up the captioning there? You say the Logitech has the sharper image, but that one is obviously a lot more blurry. Just look at the keyboard in the back. The Microsoft actually looks like 1080 res while the Logitech looks like 720 or overcompressed.

    This was very useful. However you could record 1080p with the LifeCam, but you need the right software. Microsoft don't want your video to be corrupt, so what it does is limiting you to record at 1080p unless you have a killer computer...

  • @Risket

    The audio for both was pretty bad. The Lifecam picked up a lot of background noise you wouldn't want but the Logitech sounded "muffled". I think the Logitech paired with a better mic, like a Blue Microphone (like a Snowball), would pretty much be a solid setup for anyone.

    The Microsoft LifeCam Studio is a big win because it's the ONLY 1080P HD WebCam on the market, still to this day, that lets you adjust the exposure manually, as well as all the other adjustments that aren't fake like the contrast and brightness on the Logitech controls. You can adjust the camera to any type of lighting you want and it will stay that way. You simply can't do that on a Logitech.
    If the Logitech camera allowed for manual controls, particularly for the exposure and a REAL contrast and brightness, it would be a win for sure.

  • @thatoldseadawg
    @thatoldseadawg 11 років тому

    Because the Mac's cam shoot's in 720p, not the high industry standard 1080p which many hope to have, also it's built into the actually computer which isn't really that practical, you can mount it on a tripod or anything. I am only talking about people who record videos such as reviews though, so if it's just skype or something then it is fine, all you'd really want is a new mic. That's why you'd get a separate cam. THINK.

  • @AndyOkun
    @AndyOkun 5 років тому

    I am not sure why the C920 beat the Lifecam in audio. The audio sounds WAY clearer and crisper with the Lifecam. I own both products myself and can easily hear the difference. I do agree with the video quality, C920 beats the Lifecam. I personally use a Samson G Track Pro with the C920 and get awesome sound. Thanks for the comparison video.

    Agree with the review apart from the audio. The c920's audio was muddy and quite bad. The Lifecam had way better clarity and your voice was more natural. This probably has something to do with how the c920 cuts out background noise. Question is, can this be turned off?

    I like the neutral video colors and the smoothnes of the logitech cam but Lifecam sounds better.

    Got the C920 today and for some reason my audio sounds horrible, not sure if it might be my sound card I need to replace probably but it sounds like it is trying to sound cancel even while I talk so my voice sounds like I am talking into a fan kind of...

    I have the Logitec C920 and I can never get it to record in full HD. Maybe it's my recording program (I used OBS) but the image is always blurry and/or pixelated even when I have the settings at 1920 x 1080.
