Arguably one of the best deals on the market right now, the Logitech C270 webcam combines an attractive design with an impressive set of features enough to satisfy even the most demanding webcam user. This is yet another release from the Logitech stable, which has become a household name on the international webcam scene. Released in 2010, along with Logitech HD Pro Webcams C910, C510 and C310, it offers good graphics (video and photos) along with excellent sound quality and all for just under $40.00. It may not get the same rave reviews as some of the other big names in the Logitech stable, but this camera isn’t light.

Although it ranks last in the hierarchy of HD cameras launched by Logitech, it holds its own against the big guns. When you look at it up close, there really is very little that separates these cameras. The Logitech C270 HD webcam surely stands out against other higher priced models available on the market today. It provides seamless integration with a large number of Instant Messengers, including Skype, Windows Live™ Messenger, Yahoo! ® Messenger, AOL ® Instant Messenger (AIM ® and a host of other Instant Messengers that support HD video conferencing. The C270 is truly a bargain, combining a good set of features with affordability and ease of use. Just like Its sister models released in the same year, the Logitech C270 HD Pro webcam uses Logitech’s Vid HD as its native software.Vid HD is Logitech’s high-definition instant messenger that is easy to install and use and runs on platforms that include Windows and Apple operating systems.

One of the best innovations from Logitech is the Logitech Fluid Crystal technology that they have implemented in all of their cameras. It is an algorithm that enables clear image and audio quality. It automatically balances sound and video, thus eliminating any crackling audio and choppy images. It works by balancing light and therefore colors giving lifelike images in photos and videos. It also enables clear image quality in cases where there is not enough lighting.

The Logitech C270 comes with the MAGIX photo and video editing suites.

The video editing suite (MAGIX Video easy) is, as the name implies, very easy to use. Compared to other video editing software, it comes with very easy features and you can produce stunning home videos with it. You can cut, edit and combine different clips, add music, images and transitions. MAGIX Video Easy comes with full Facebook and YouTube integration, allowing you to upload videos directly from the app.

Photo Manager 9 is a photo editing suite that allows you to edit and organize your digital photo library on your computer. Once installed, Photo Manager 9 will not only automatically import all your images, it will also sort all your photos by date and time, allowing you to find that particular photo even among thousands.
