Customer Review: I Can See Clearly: A Logitech Webcam C600 Review
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I enjoyed using a Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 WebCam since early 2006 and was happy with it's performance. I don't use a webcam daily, but often use it to chat and catch up with family and friends. Since my webcam was older and the opportunity presented itself, I chose to upgrade to the newer version.
These days, webcams are a standard piece of hardware. Compared the QuickCam Pro 5000, the C600 shows little differences on the surface. The major visible difference relates to the privacy shade. On the Pro 5000, the flimsy shade only blocks the video; however the C600 mutes the sound when the integrated shade is activated. The universal clip has been redesigned, but neither seems to work better than the other on my flat screen monitor while both rest securely on top. The RightLight technology in both webcams works similarly well even though the C600 has a newer second version.
Logitech has created and marketed their Vid program for web chatting. Set up of the Vid software is simple, as is connecting with others who have signed up. The problem with Vid is with who can use it. Those with Logitech webcams are permitted to use Vid with any webcam user. However, a person not using a Logitech webcam can install the software but will only be permitted to use it with others who use Logitech webcams. I really dislike the idea of requesting others to use a software program when they can't use it freely for themselves. Thankfully I'm not required to use Vid, and can chat with my family using the program they have signed up for.
Playing recorded video from the webcam software requires Windows Media Player 9 or later to be installed. I don't use Windows Media Player, so recorded videos cannot be played directly from the webcam software. It's unnecessary for Logitech to force me into using a specific media player. They should either use a built in video player or open the video recording using the default option.
The face recognition and video effects are just as effective on both models. It's amazing how well this technology works. The effects are fun to use with younger folks, my nine year old cousin cracked up with every change I made. However the face accessories would occasionally have difficulty keeping up with sudden head movements.
The C600's biggest improvement can be seen in the HD video recording and snapshots themselves. The 2mp sensor combined with the glass lens produces a sharper image with far less noise and artifacts. The snapshots can't compare to a good 8mp camera, but are decent enough to create profile images and to show on the internet.
Even though most features are similar or relatively equally effective, the C600 is clearly an improvement from the QuickCam Pro 5000. If the improved imaging over older models is important to you, the C600 is worth considering. It's just as worthy of consideration if this will be your first webcam.
PROS:
Simple set-up
Improved video image
RightSound improves sound
RightLight maintains even video lighting
CONS:
Vid places unnecessary requirements on those who you webcam with
Requires Windows Media Player 9 or later for video playback within webcam software
