Which brings us to the C922’s other primary feature-background removal, sans green screen.

Even 720p should be more than satisfactory for that. The webcam industry hasn’t kept pace with the smartphone industry in this regard.Īnd let’s be honest: Most people willing to spend $100 on a webcam are producing content for Twitch and YouTube, and in that case the C922’s primary job is to pump out a 200×200 pixel inset of a user’s face in the bottom-right corner of the screen. But Logitech’s hardly alone-the Stargazer tops out at 1080p.

Could Logitech have pushed further? Is it weird that we still don’t have consumer-oriented webcams that capture greater than 1080p video? Maybe. If you’re buying a webcam for Skype/Hangouts/etc, then the C922 is really the best option. Here’s the C922 in optimal conditions, again versus the Stargazer: Great low-light performance is, of course, accompanied by the same great fully lit image. 720p streaming at 60 frames per second, for instance-a definite upgrade.

Logitech’s touted all sorts of features in the lead-up to the C922. While Razer’s option is a bit stiff and unwieldy, I’m at least not worried about it breaking.

This state of affairs feels particularly egregious in light of the thick, fabric-sheathed, and detachable cable that ships with Razer’s Stargazer. It’s not easily replaceable, it’s thin, it’s rubber-coated, and I’m perpetually worried I might pinch it or crimp it and render the camera unusable. If there’s anything I wish Logitech had upgraded in the last four years, it’s the flimsy rubber cable connecting the camera to the PC. You’d have better results setting it on a shelf or maybe on top of a tall computer speaker, provided you’ve got that sort of setup. It’s of decent enough quality, but resting it on my desk didn’t make for a very flattering camera angle-mostly my chin and nostrils. Your other option is to mount the C922 on a tripod-preferably a real one, though if you purchase through Best Buy, Logitech actually includes a miniature tripod, which unfolds and telescopes to about seven inches tall. The lip on the C922 is slightly longer than the Stargazer’s, so those with an ultra-thin monitor bezel might be annoyed to find that the lip hangs in front of the screen a bit. Individuals using chroma key should take time to tweak their setting based on their lighting and environment.This also extends to the mount-the same L-shaped lip/joint used by the C920, with the bulk hanging down onto the rear of the monitor. Lighting helps provide a more even color across the board, which leads to a better chroma key.Īll chroma key settings will differ from user to user. Ideally, you’ll have two lights pointing at 45° angles. Click that box and pick the most consistent green on the Webaround.
