https://reincubate.com/support/how-to/why-are-webcams-bad/ https://reincubate.com/support/how-to/why-are-webcams-bad/ is a good article analysing webcams and phone cameras in various ways. The C920 looks pretty bad there.

- crazygringo 5y agoThat is a great article, but literally everything he complains about the C920 is with regards to the "auto" settings. You absolutely do need to manually set and lock exposure, focus, white balance, and ensure you have proper lighting. Once you do that, it works like a charm. And this advice is what pretty much every streaming tutorial on YouTube advises. The softness issue is particular to the Logitech Brio, which he notes, and which matches my own testing. The C920 doesn't suffer from that. Yes I wish the software for the camera settings was more intelligent. But ultimately that's a software issue that's fixable with manual settings. The hardware is solid, provided normal lighting conditions.
