Webcam Reviews: Logitech HD Webcam C510 and Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000

The Logitech HD Webcam C510 and Microsoft LifeCam HD-300 are a couple of compact 720p webcams that won't break the bank.

The Logitech HD Webcam C510 is a mid-range webcam that can film in HD resolution. As well as high-definition video, it has a very practical stand and advanced functions like facial tracking, a digital zoom and automatic focusing. Plus, once folded up, this webcam can easily be slipped into a bag or pocket.

The Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 is a mid-range Microsoft webcam that's just a step down from the LifeCam Studio. Like the Studio, this LifeCam is a plug and play webcam, which makes it particularly easy to set up and use. Once connected to your computer, the webcam software and drivers are automatically downloaded—all you need to do then is install them.
