I was debating if this camera was worth paying more than the C270 model which was cheaper, but after installing it and using it on Skype I'm glad I paid extra for it. It's well worth the money for the more pixels, portability of being able to fold and carry it around, and another great feature not...

It is a bit fuzzier than the Logitech cameras with the Carl Zeiss Optics, but I guess they have to save on something to get the price down.

Good quality image; Works well across all lighting conditions; Well designed stand

No tripod mount; Slightly fuzzy in normal room lighting

Logitech has launched two new HD recording webcams, namely the C310 and the C525. We received the C525 for testing, which features 720p video recording, a compact folding stand and new Logitech webcam software that offers entertaining photo and video effects.

I am probably NOT the best reviewer for this item because I don't really know anything about them. I researched them a bit and bought this one after having a need for SKYPE with an associate in my business. It has worked VERY well for this, and I am happy with his ability to see me and hear me.

Logitech is now selling the C525 as a replacement for the C510 webcam. In reality, though, it's basically just a clone of the previous model, with the same 720p sensor and a flip-out stand.

Picture quality and audio quality; Product finish; Easy-to-use software

Stand isn't that stable on a flat surface or a laptop screen; Image definition drops in low light

This is a great Web Cam especially for the price. I looked at Logitech's table that compares all of their Web Cameras, and I chose this one. It's excellent. It does take a bit of bandwidth for the software to properly operate, but I've been able to work that out. This is a good choice.

I wasn?t quite sure what model to buy for my home laptop.I just purchased this webcamera and I am amazed at the superior video quality compared to my standard laptop webcam.

I HAVE THE C510 MODEL AND I AM GIVING ALL FIVE STARS TO THE C525 MODEL. THERE'S NO UPDATE FOR WINDOWS 8 FOR MY MODEL YET, SINCE BOTH CAMERAS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE AUTOFOCUS THAT THE C510 DOESN'T HAVE.

Got mine on sale for 40. Video quality is good and sound doesnt seem to be an issue EXCEPT when using logitech's video chat service. (works great on facebooks video chat). Still great for the price.

We felt a little like Goldilocks as we collected information for our webcam reviews – some offer too much, some offer too little – but Logitech's HD Webcam C525 is just about right. This unit has a collection of useful features that don't push the price or the physical size into a cumbersome range.

The video effects are so much fun to use and offer a nice way to personalize your communications

This camera offers many visual effects but no audio effects; and it lacks wide-screen capture
