What customers say about "Key Specs"

Logitech C310 HD Webcam

Clear and accurate video, pictures and audio. Good 720p webcam for the price point (when on sale)
I've found that the highest resolution it can do on my machine without losing acceptable frame rate is 800x600, and it looks perfect at that resolution.
Great images with ability to control the resolution so that you can increase the speed of image rendering
Poor image resolution, poor color rendition.
Resolution could bee better. I have used it only for times since purchase.

Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 Webcam

There are multiple resolution settings for your to choose from, which is a great feature for those with slower internet speeds. Personally I keep mine at 640x360 and have had nothing but compliments from people.
Great picture, adjustable screen sizes and resolutions!!
The picture is crisp and clear -- even when it's in a lower resolution -- and the audio is excellent.
720p HD resolution at 60Hz refresh rate. Very affordable quality video capture for the price
Is not high quality enough to be able to zoom at all. Prone to motion blur. Maybe your capture software can go widescreen, but I was not able to capture 1080x720 resolution with this camera in Open Broadcasting Software.
Wished for higher resolution but a solid webcam at a low price.

What customers say about "Features"

Logitech C310 HD Webcam

Works well and captures picture perfectly
Sturdy and good build quality, not that it's going to be tossed around
Auto-detected in XP and works seamlessly with Yawcam. Comes with a CD/drivers disc, but apparently is unneeded.
The USB cable could definitely be longer
The auto-focusing feature is rather bizarre... Basically if you move close to the camera or to one side, it will automatically zoom in or out to find your face again.

Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 Webcam

Rubber feel, adjustable base allows you to put the camera on a monitor or a desk as a stand
Internal mic which has surprising good quality, better than an entry level GoPro's internal mic, which is about 80% more expensive than this camera
Does what it says. Easy set up, many different controls with the installed program! Easy to use! Moves left and right on it's base, also the base is adjustable to either sit on it's own, or hook up to your laptop!!
We use the camera for interviews and the picture is crystal clear. Like that we zoom in and out.
Tried to use this for a zoom meeting, microphone worked camera did not. could be user error, but I followed directions.
There is no adjustment to focus--seems a little fuzzy to viewers
