Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech 720p Webcam C905

Customer Review: Not fully satisfied
Summary: 2 Stars

My friends recommended this webcam to me saying that the item is really good. However I should have made it a point to check this product on my friend's systems itself before placing the order. With technical architect's job in a leading Silicon valley software development firm, I believe I can do a basic computer maintenance.

I have tested this webcam on 4 laptops and 1 desktop that I have with me. On all of these systems the item didn't work. I'm not here to say that it's someone's fault. I'm just sharing my experience with all the readers.

Before connecting this webcam, I used to connect a top of line Wireless keyboard (more than $150) for using in my very large living room where I had a 53" TV connected with my powerful computer systems. I never had any problem with that keyboard. After connecting this webcam and installing the software as recommended I found that the keyboard stopped working. The other accessories like USB hub, Magicjack and other paraphernalia stopped working. I remove the webcam software and the webcam and tried connecting my keyboard and other equipment. They never were detected. After a painstaking follow up with the various vendors about these non functional hardwares, the answer was almost unanimous. With the installation of this new item the old drivers got corrupted. Somehow I had to spend 3 full nights to revive my most powerful system back to normalcy.

Later on second thought I tried this product on other laptops and desktop also. It's the same result. So I think I either received a defective item or, my systems are not meant to use this product because of the complexity involved in sharing the drivers.

So I returned this item as it's of no use for me. I'm planning to use a very low end webcam for use on one of my obsolete laptops for video chatting where I no longer connect any other accessories.

Readers: Once again, I'd like to affirm that you may/may not face this problem. Also don't let my experience bias your judgement. Just keep your eyes open and don't panic if this happens with your systems. If you are using a much simpler laptop I hope there won't be any problems but you are to experience and judge yourself.

Good luck.
