Logitech C922 Pro Stream

Disadvantages: Doesn't work in HD or higher on Windows 7 x64, requires new 6th generation Intel processor or higher. Note that you need Windows 10, otherwise you won't get all the goodies. This is not indicated anywhere by the manufacturer. But the official Logitech forum is full of complaints from Western users. There are simply no drivers for this camera for old hardware, even if you have a Windows 10 license.

Comment:

Advantages: Construction quality, autofocus, high-quality picture, smooth video, attractive appearance.

Disadvantages: Hmm ... The sound from the camera has a peculiarity: the sampling rate is only 32 kHz. Not the most common standard, it will probably require resampling for software processing. Only because of this I cannot rate the Logitech C922 at "5", and the rating "4+" is not provided.

Comment: The first impression is good. The camera mount is quite weighty, obviously heavier than the camera itself, which makes the camera more stable, and even in the box you will find a tripod with extendable legs and a tripod head, however, only 18 cm high. The image quality and smoothness of the video are a solid five! It completely replaces the amateur camcorder. There is no CD with programs and drivers included. The camera connects to the system immediately without any problems (Windows 7 x64). Download the programs yourself. Included is a serial number coupon for a 3-month XSplit Premium license (valid until the end of 2018) There are only 2 sampling rates in microphone sound quality settings: 16 kHz and 32 kHz. 2 channels, 16 bit. At 32 kHz, sound quality is acceptable, but the default is 16 kHz. Stereo real. Microphones are sensitive, through Skype you can communicate in an undertone, leaning back in your chair. The Logitech C922 Pro Stream is certainly not a cheap webcam, but it won't disappoint. You can recommend for purchase.

Advantages: The characteristics are very good. The camera can actually shoot with the specified characteristics. Tripod included After installing standard programs, it starts working ____ UPD: It gives a really smooth picture even in low light, the processor really can.

Disadvantages: What a short cable. If installed on top of the monitor, it barely reaches the back of the system unit. Stock - about 10 cm remains. Instead of the declared cable length of 180cm, here is 160cm by force, and if we take into account the bend of the cable at the base of the cable and the length of the USB port, then the useful length is 150cm. This is not enough to put the camera on a tripod and lead the cable to the front or rear panel of the system unit. No, you can't, of course, but just throw it directly, over the keyboard and under the elbow. Of course, this is wildly inconvenient. If the cable were even 50cm longer, the problem would be solved. I was also very disappointed with the video quality out of the box. I downloaded only two recommended utilities from the site's office.As a result, noise reduction blurs the face, enhancers overestimate the contrast at the edges of objects, but in the end there is no clarity. The resolution is good, and I'm sure if the software hadn't been written in the dungeons of Mordor, everything would have been fine, but Logitech always had problems with the software (they had to steal old drivers from the archives of the tech support forums, because only one version worked). It squeezes both photos and videos so that the wolves howl and ask to unclench them back. By the way, the standard program is not compatible with Aero and disables it. Moreover, it cannot display video from the camera in full quality, resolution and at full frame rate. At the same time, the video card does not load, that is, I suspect that the software stupidly does not use hardware acceleration, and tries to write and display a picture using only the processor. Video card - GTX650Ti, latest firewood.

Comment: Hopefully it's about the program. I will try to record through OBS and XPlit, look for other firewood. If I find it, I will add a review (I will really add it). While generally dissatisfied. UPD: It is better to install the Logitech Gaming Software, here all the advanced settings are there, and you can edit the picture even while the camera is working with another application. The result is more or less good quality. I am attaching a screenshot from a standard video capture program. As a result, the camera is great for video calling and streaming / recording game sessions in which your profile is superimposed on the game image. There is no quality visible, but smoothness is visible. This camera is well suited for this. But if you want to record some vlogs, then hardly ... I think this camera is the lower limit of quality, which is acceptable in this case. But among other webcams, it is the best (of course, there is also Brio, but it is twice as expensive). In short, a controversial model. Best in webcam, worst in streaming and vlogging cameras) The software is disgusting, but in the end everything works as expected.

Advantages: Simply excellent picture quality, the drivers work great, no glitches, everything is smooth. For a window with your face during a live broadcast, for example, 720p resolution is sufficient, which operates at 60 frames per second. The rest is possible when shooting 1080p at 30 frames, which I think is not so critical. At the expense of sound - I do not use a microphone from the camera, I have a Yeti. The background removal function does not work quite correctly and it is best to use standard utilities that use chroma key.

Disadvantages: The camera itself does not rotate when installed on a monitor, but this drawback can be compensated for by installing it on a tripod.

Comment: I got this webcam right after Microsoft LifeCam Studio, the previous one had just a huge number of problems with driver support. With each shooting, they either flew off and the picture froze, or the camera simply did not start by itself and each time the webcam was turned on, I had to guess "to start or not?" Here people I know recommended a camera from Logitech, C922 Pro Stream, at that time it was just released and its price was 2 thousand rubles more. I thought for a long time and now I bought it, I'll be honest - I can't get enough of it. Happy as hell. I definitely recommend web bloggers and gamers who have their own Twitch or Youtube channel.

Advantages: The camera has good dynamic range. Even if the light source is behind the back, the face does not appear dark.

Disadvantages: No

Comment: Beautiful camera

Advantages: Super webcam!

Disadvantages: Software is heavy at first

Comment: All the treadmill!

Advantages: Great camera, I took it to my child for streaming. The sound and video are excellent. It remains to be done with the chroma key.

Disadvantages: Not yet.

Comment: Delivery on time (Kazan)

Advantages: - Excellent 1080p quality at 30fps. - The presence of a convenient telescopic tripod in the kit. - 3 months license for XSplit. - Interesting design with unusual lighting.

Disadvantages: - Weak microphone.

Comment: Great camera for a reasonable price. Perfect for broadcasting. Also, thanks to this camera, you can shoot high-quality videos in medium-good lighting. I don't consider the microphone to be a critical drawback, since I myself use the microphone on the headset for broadcasts, and a separate microphone for video recording. Would definitely recommend! ;)

Advantages: Video quality 5+ Multifunctional mount There is a tripod Appearance is excellent Made with high quality!

Disadvantages: The microphone requires additional tuning, otherwise it catches all the noise (you can even hear how the neighbors close the door, or the system speaker makes a little noise) After an hour and a half tuning, the audibility of the keyboard and mouse clicks could not be removed, I moved back to my old micro from the headphones. Despite the fact that the material is beautiful, it is quite easily soiled. you don't have to touch it often - minus a slight Autofocus works, but constantly rebuilds (= does not work?). I had to put a permanent one - there were no problems with that.

Comment: In general, the impressions are good. before that there was a very bad webcam. For streaming, to be honest, it looks like an overkill, but if you have money and you don't need micro, then the camera will definitely do.

Advantages: Excellent clarity. Possibility of manual focusing (via software). Easily configurable on Linux.

Disadvantages: Price. The 21st century is in the yard, many are already buying 4k technology, they could have reduced the price of FHD ...

Comment: I did not test the microphone, I have an excellent capacitor, so I don't need it.
