★★☆☆☆
Very High quality results BUT not always reliable.
This is the second update for this review, after having this camera for about 18 months. Unfortunately, I've decided to stop using it and gone back to use the much more reliable older version - the C920. I simply couldn't work around the lack of reliability and the dropped frames, not to mention the jumpy autofocus. I really wanted to like the C930 since on first impression it seemed to have a sharper picture than the C920 and a wider angle. But I just got tired of having to prefor the ritual of unplugging, restarting and head scratching. This is an update after about 9 months of use. I own this camera and the previous model, the Logitech 920. While the 930's picture is sharper and has more depth than the 920, it is often unreliable. Some of the issues include: - Sometimes, the camera flickers between a live feed and a green screen signal. This could be a defect with my particular camera although it's never been dropped or knocked. - Occasionally the camera will not be recognised at all even after several restarts. Sine there is no native software, there's really no way to reset or check the firmware for problems. Then after some time, it will start working again. No ideas why or how. - There's constant adjustment of the autofocus, approximately two or three frames are lost every 60 frames. Here is the original review below. I still stand by it, although with enough time and trials I would say the older model (logitech 920) is more flattering to skin tones and also easier to adjust. The picture quality is awesome and the camera itself is well made. Using it on a Mac mini and Macbook pro for semi-pro video capturing directly on to the hard drive with quicktime. Only reason why it didn't get 5 stars is the auto focus seems a bit jumpy. Every time something moves the camera will try to readjust the focus and you end up with a few frames of defocus before everything becomes sharp again. I get around this by setting the focus to manual.
