Have the camera my friend paid so that Skype looks better with her than with the built-in laptop cameras. Well, it did work, but only when at her the light conditions are good. Then you have a real added value. But if it is dimmed, the image quality with those in comparable laptops (powerful image noise and cross-banding). With darkened I mean at night with desk lamp (indirect light). In my C910 it is enough if I have a bright image content on my monitor. Then, the transmission runs without noise or the like. Conclusion: If you want even in darker situations have a good picture, should spend a few more Euros and take up a C910 or upwards.
