Full HD? disappointing is still friendly

Why a Full HD webcam? Because I want to get multiple sites easily be coordinated with videoconferencing. Since whiteboard or flipchart images to be transferred together with the lecturer legible beamer. Reference is a come in the day HD video camera, although good recording, but is not suitable for live streaming for me. Or the Polycom devices of my last employer - added, the hardware from the professional camp ...

From the Webcam, I expect that they might no optical zoom, has no remote is pivotal, but at least just as can record detailed images, even if I have to vote according to the set better on the camera.

But that was not hinzubekommen. The perceived resolution is just a bit more detail than that of my old webcam, the per the purchase but four years ago, very good 9000. The exposure is better, the color cast in automatic white balance a bit too blue.

Photos with 15 mega pixels are a bad joke. They look like Extrapolated garbage from 2 mega pixel shots.

Can not be so, I think. Machste something wrong. The other reviews right across the Web say all, the picture would be fantastic. Then I see on a site for Videokonferencing software that here: "Logitech HD Pro C920 (USB 3 Ready) This is among the first USB 3.0 Ready webcams, offering higher sustained frame rates at 1080 over USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ​​(SS) connections . It is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, but requires USB 3.0 for higher transfer rates. The image quality is exceptional. ". After the obligatory anger that it only "it is USB 3.0 recommended" standing on the Logitech corporate Web site, I have a USB 3.0 controller built me. However, that did not change: The 1080p movies look like the 720p movies "sharpen" through a hunted algorithm. Although harder edge, but not finer details.

Conclusion: The camera remains light years behind my expectation.
