I have had three years a monitor with USB camera and in front of a notebook, so that the question of a Webcam has never asked for me. Recently I then decided to buy a new monitor, and then faced a problem: I needed a cam. At first I thought to myself, I'll buy one for a maximum of 20 Eur ... has always fitted with Skype and hangout ... rather from a (sometimes fatal ;-)) mood to spend money out I decided for the C525 HD. I must say I'm impressed. Not only that, the image is much better, and the sound that is recorded by microphone interen is super. I am especially pleased with the autofocus. All in all, I do not want to miss the webcam now. :-)
