Logitech Webcam C170 (Accessories)

Customer Review

The camera works out-of-the-box Linux without additional drivers etc. are required (tested with Ubuntu 12.04 and Arch Linux). Thus it has fully met my requirements basically. The microphone I have not tested this so I can not say (Update is optionally followed by).

The holder is stable and generally affects the camera well finished.
The image quality is not outstanding, but for the price ok.

A star deduction is available for the misleading claim that photos with 5 MP can be made. The printed package then there is a small footnote that the 5 MP be achieved "through software interpolation of recordings of native VGA sensor".
In other words, this means that the camera will take only pictures with 640x480 pixels (equivalent to 0.3 MP) by the software (available only for Windows!) To 2592x1944 pixels (= 5 MP) are then extrapolated. This corresponds to an increase by a factor of 17! According misserabel is the quality of the images, which is rather moderate even at 640x480px.
Me personally does not bother, because I have enough to VGA resolution, but you feel as a customer but a bit verar ****.
