Logitech HD webcams. High-def yourself.

Perfect for YouTube  

Your webcam is more than just another gadget. And it’s why your old (non-HD) webcam and the built-in webcam in your computer just won’t cut it.

Why? What other device lets you look your loved ones in the eyes and tell them how you feel, tell them a joke, tell (and show) them what your three-year-old just created out of cardboard, glue and glitter?

Sharing, socializing, connecting with the people you care about. That’s what makes a webcam different. 

And Logitech HD webcams are about sharing your life—but bigger, better, brighter, smoother.

High-def yourself. 


See how easy it is to upload HD videos to Facebook™ and YouTube™ .

Say it bigger. Say it better.

The beauty of video calling over, say, the phone, is that you can see and hear your loved ones.

But until just recently you couldn’t make an HD video call. Because the name of the game in video calling is crunching down millions of pixels—the smallest unit of a digital image—every second and sending it from your computer, over the Internet, and to your buddy. 

Up until now, bandwidth and CPU constraints made HD video calling impossible for nearly all PCs (desktop and laptop) connecting to the Internet through traditional networks.

That’s all changed.

Today you can make an HD 720p video call with a Logitech HD webcam when you use Logitech Vid™ HD.

Learn more about Vid—the fast, free and easy way to make a video call. 

So go ahead. HD yourself. With a Logitech HD webcam.

Even more than resolution

RightLight™ technology. Look natural. Even when you don’t have natural lighting.

Web calls get real

A webcam makes it feel like you’re right there with your family and friends—no matter where they are. But low-light or a bright window in the room can leave you looking silhouetted or surround your face with ghostly bright lighting.

If you don’t live in a perfectly lit world, we’ve got just the thing for you.

Logitech® RightLight™ technology is a system of hardware and software that helps you look more lifelike in all kinds of lighting.


See all webcams with RightLight™ technology.

Lighten up

Webcams and low light generally don’t get along. That’s why RightLight technology includes CMOS sensors that more precisely measure and maximize the light in any situation. Whether your face is shadowed or the whole image is dark, poorly lit areas will appear brighter and have more detail.

Goodbye, orange skin

Bright colors are pretty. Unnaturally saturated skin? Not so pretty. So we pay careful attention to how our webcams with RightLight technology reproduce light and dark skin tones. We adjust the camera’s color hues and saturation so your skin looks natural, not orange.

Many webcams aren’t so good to your skin. They prioritize bright colors—which can make your face look overly saturated. If you prefer the saturated look, you can easily boost the colors with Logitech QuickCam software.

The true you

Not into the fun house look? Have no fear.

While many webcams can leave you looking too long or too wide, our webcam lenses are rigorously tested to make sure they don’t have noticeable distortion. And that means you look like you—in just about any light.

RightSound technology. So you sound like—you.

What’s that noise?

Have you ever made a video call and thought that the person on the other end sounded unusual? That their voice was unnaturally flat? Or there was a strange distortion in their speech?

Webcams let you see and talk to your friends and family—wherever they are. But with most webcams, you need to wear a headset or distracting background noise (the whir of a fan, the hum of your computer) can mar your conversation.

At Logitech, we hear that sound, too. And we know it’s annoying. That’s why we developed RightSound™ technology—to help ensure that your voice comes through crisp and clear.

See all webcams with RightSound™ technology.

Say good-bye to that humming sound

Try this. Stop reading for a moment and just listen to the sounds in your room. (We’ll wait.)

Now, think about all the different sounds you hear. You can probably categorize them into two types: sounds with a regularly repeating pattern (like a fan, air conditioner, or your neighbor’s lawnmower) and sounds that vary (like the human voice). Engineers would call the first type ‘stationary sound’ and the second ‘non-stationary sound.’ Ambient noise is another way to describe the first type of sound.

Ambient noise—such as the hum of your computer—is what can really spoil your video call.

Fortunately, ambient sound waves produce a regularly recurring pattern. And because they do, we can identify the ambient noise in the midst of all the other sounds in the room, including your voice, and help make it less of an annoyance. In a nutshell, that’s what RightSound does.

RightSound. Real difference.

There’s a lot of talk about megapixels when it comes to webcams. But we know that a satisfying video call requires good sound quality, too.

At Logitech, a team of acoustic engineers created RightSound. Using sophisticated algorithms,, we carefully analyze the entire spectrum of sound to better isolate the ambient noise, and more deftly cancel it out with a signal below the threshold of human hearing.

The result is that your friends and family only hear the real you. Loud and clear.

MAGIX photo organization and video editing software. Easy, smart and free with your Logitech webcam.*

You’ve said good-bye to shoeboxes full of photos and videocassettes. Now all your memories are stored on your computer.

But with thousands of photos and videos, it can sometimes be difficult to find the one you want. And once you’ve found it, you might want to crop a photo to focus on your beautiful baby cousin’s face. Or cut those last few seconds of video where your sister’s perfect wedding cake somehow ends up on the floor.

You need software that gets you organized and helps you fix minor blemishes in your photos and edit your videos.

But you want it to work right the first time—and you don’t want to spend hours reading a manual to figure it out.

We understand. That’s why Logitech has teamed up with MAGIX to offer MAGIX™ Photo Manager 9 and MAGIX™ Video Easy with your new Logitech webcam. And they’re free.*

You’ll find icons for each of these programs in the Get More Apps section of your Logitech Webcam Software.

Or let us tell you a bit more about what MAGIX can do for you.


Magix
Get Hollywood  

Get Hollywood.

Using a webcam to record a video of your baby’s first words, a funny clip that you upload to Facebook™ or YouTube  or a warm message to a loved one can be an art. It’s hard to figure out just when to stop—or start—recording to get the best video.

There are editing programs out there, but they’re often very complicated, taking days to learn and offering lots of features most people will never use.

That’s where MAGIX Video Easy comes in. The name says it all.

This drag-and-drop home video tool makes it easy to cut, edit and combine videos to turn fleeting memories into indelible moments you’ll be able to return to again and again.

The simple, easy-to-use interface makes editing an intuitive process rather than a chemistry project. Step-by-step instructions help you select the parts of your video that you want to include, then add a title and some music—you can even add transitions.

And when your inner auteur is satisfied, it’s easy to upload your newest creation to YouTube. Next stop: Sunset Boulevard. Or Grandma’s living room.


Get organized.

Digital cameras and camera phones make it easy to capture the important moments in your life.

The question, then, is how to make those photos and videos easy to find and share with your friends and family? MAGIX Photo Manager 9 does it all for you.

After you’ve downloaded and installed the software on your PC, just connect your camera. Photo Manager will automatically import your photos and videos, and then organize them by date, time and place taken.

It’s a snap to find just what you want—without the hassle of scrolling through thousands of thumbnails.

Photo Manager also lets you do basic editing like cropping, eliminating red-eye and making small color corrections. In just a few minutes, your photos will be looking their best—just like the memories they capture.
