Logitech C310 HD Webcam

Product Information

Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

We keep lighting levels consistent and test for well-lit and low-light conditions to put the webcam sensor through its paces. We make note of how accurate the colors are in any recorded footage and the overall clarity of video and photographs taken on the webcam. You’ll also want to be the only person in your shot as with just a 60-degree FOV you’ struggle to fit another individual in frame. Compared to the Logitech C920 (argueably the brands most iconic product) which offers a 78-degree FOV, this is less than ideal, but won’t cause any problems if you’ll be the only one using the webcam. The Logitech StreamCam is one of the best Logitech webcams for streamers and online broadcasters who want buttery smooth and high-quality video without the fuss of setting up a mirrorless camera and a capture card. That isn't to say you have to use the StreamCam for Twitch or YouTube.It's a pricey product, so even if you're a professional, there might be better value options for you on this list. However, for a business that needs to make frequent group broadcasts, the investment should prove itself worthy of such an expense. How to choose the best Logitech webcam for you You can also replicate this using studio lights if you work in darker environments away from a window. You can also use cheap desk lamps in a pinch by directing them against a wall to reduce the harshing lighting and create a diffused appearance.

Logitech makes a variety of webcams, so choosing the right one will depend largely on your needs. If price is usually a contributing factor, you’ll want the least expensive camera that meets your requirements. However, those exact requirements may depend on why you’re using the camera. If you’re a presenter, work in a professional setting, or create content for video channels, you’ll want a higher resolution, like 1080p/30fps. Other features, like autofocus, digital zoom, and pan and tilt, will also be important. Dual omnidirectional mics for clear audio are also features you’ll want. The Logitech C930e, C925, C922, C922s, and C920 are all good options. These are also excellent choices for gaming. For example, if you just need a webcam for your company’s weekly meetings or to communicate with your loved ones and friends, a camera with a 720p resolution will be fine. The Logitech C270, C310, C505, and C505e are four inexpensive options to consider. You can easily transition from landscape to portrait mode by simply turning the camera sideways. There’s a monitor mount and a tripod mount included, allowing you to pan and tilt, and you can use the included cable to put the camera on a tripod. If you're looking for something that shoots at a higher frame rate – at 60fps, for example – you might be disappointed at it tops at 30fps at its highest 1080p resolution. So, its picture quality is not going to be as crisp and as smooth. However, to most people, that doesn't really matter. Overall, the sheer quality and features of this Logitech webcam often make much more expensive products not worth the extra cash.

The cable length is a little on the short side, but it shouldn’t cause too many issues if you plan on using it with a laptop, though desktop users may need to move their display closer to their systems for it to reach.
