    *My old camera started flippin out so i bought a **Newest.Technology** one. Was really excited about the talking feature but my friends said “we can hear your voice through the front door.”10/10*

    The microsoft's audio is better than the audio in the logitech camera.

    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.

      @Dojan5 10 лет назад

      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.

    The picture clarity looks cleaner from the LC Studio. Compare the light reflection on the forehead at 1:25, and the hairs on the tash. It also sound clearer in the LC Studio, it's just that it's so sensitive that it picks up the reverb of the room. Maybe the sound can be turned down.

    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.

    I still have my LifeCam Studio, 9 years later, and it's still better than many common webcams out there. And it does record 1080p as well, guess it was just a matter of software settings and updates.

  • @DaddytechEnt
    @DaddytechEnt 9 лет назад

    *i own both of these and there is a difference in the audio when you have them mounted in a confined space like a corner unit desk, when in google hangouts i get feedback from the stereo microphones on the logitech, however i don't on the life cam studio i do have an issue with the auto focus on the life cam but you can adjust it where the camera is focused and go into the settings and turn off auto focus and not have a problem any more. the logitech didn't have that problem to begin with so you are kind of spot on with that aspect*

    @Craig07L 10 лет назад +2

    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?

Although I have very good command of the language, it was hard to understand everything as you speak so fast! :) I understand it's to keep it energetic, but I am sure you could afford to slow down a tiny bit and keep the up beat so your videos can be of help to people from other countries without the need of so much concentration. I hope you don't mind the suggestion. Again, many thanks. This help me to decide which camera to buy!

    Got the lifecam studio for like 2 years now. If you manual use focus when your streaming, its a verry nice webcam. It works verry great in low light. The C920 tend to be more grainier in low light conditions then the lifecam studio.

    • @MakaiiART
      @MakaiiART 8 лет назад +1

      +GoDxism Quite the late reply, but I'm pretty sure he meant the difference between ''8 megapixel'' and ''1920x1080'' in the settings for taking pictures (no difference in quality or file size?)... 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 года назад

      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.

    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.

    Well that was a good review showing the video quality, as for audio I use an USB BLUE mic and clean it up through Audacity. I'm going to upgrade to the 920 now. Oh and just an observation. You talk really fast for an American. I have lived in the USA and was always being asked to talk slower as my speed and Australian accent flustered the slower talking folk of Colorado and Arizona!!

  • @thatoldseadawg
    @thatoldseadawg 11 лет назад

    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.

  • @MikaelMurstam
    @MikaelMurstam 11 лет назад

    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...

  • @osworth
    @osworth 7 лет назад

    Great review THANKS - but consider camera choice only after you know which software likes it. I live in Camtasia - use it all the time. Unfortunately after buying the Logitech - I learned Camtasia doesn't work with it. Just got off phone with Camtasia Tech Support - they recommend the Lifecam Studio which works with Camtasia. So check forums to see if what you buy - will work with what you use...

  • @kizzume
    @kizzume 10 лет назад

    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.

  • @TheSoloBL

    OK you rock. Fantastic video!
    Have you compared the C920 to the C930?

      I actually have the C920 and it's awesome. One thing I don't like that I found when recording for HD video for youtube is that is does variable frame rates. Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro makes using this frame rate type impossible.
