Thoughts: The webcam is to sit on top of the Huawei Monitor for Zoom or Microsoft Teams sessions, it is a necessity since the Surface Pro lid is closed and only serve as a processor in my home office setting.
From the "TURRIHome" shop in Shoppe, this shop offers 3 variants:
Logitech C270 rm$91.80
Logitech C270i rm$90.80 (probably also called C505)
Logitech C310 rm$110.60
Specification wise, all 3 seemed to have similar features:
All 3 comes with 720p HDAll 3 comes with 30fps and other featuresThe C270i has a longer-range mic (while the others 1 to 1.5m)
From the web, there are a bunch of sources offering this model with prices from rm$95 to rm$215! And the official Logitech website shows a retail price of USD$35 (about rm$140), so I guess the offer from the shop for rm$110.60 is acceptable. However, from the 3 model, the C270i (or C505 in Logitech website) retailed at rm$49.90 (or rm$200) and is offered at a super low price of $90.80 by the same shop.
I was not over the moon for a longer-range mic offered by the C270i and not too comfortable for the almost 60% discount; and for that I chose the C310 after checking out a bunch of Youtube reviews!
So, the C310 finally arrived within 2 days of placing the order at Shopee and in time for an online class using Zoom call. The box came with the Webcam, and a USB 2.0 cable in a slightly dented box at the corner but it was bubble wrapped.
The Webcam seemed to be in good condition (looks brand new) and setup was easy, as the webcam isn't really "clipped" on the monitor top but rather using the "universal mounting clip" to fold to the back of the monitor with some pressure to the back of the monitor and set the front facing portion of the C310 itself on top of the monitor, not tight but sits nicely there! The C310 can be tilted a little but up or down but not left and right; so, if you are sitting just in front of the webcam, the up and down tilt is good enough to bring yourself into the frame of the camera.
There aren't any on/off switch on the Webcam but it is definitely a plug-and-play device (no software required), and in a Zoom call when switching on the video, the little green light comes up next to the lens and you are set to go (or in Zoom there is a pull-up menu at the "Start/Stop Video button" at the bottom left of Zoom to choose the "USB Video Device" in case the computer is looking for the notebook/PC webcam). As for the Video itself, the C310 does not provide such a wide field of view (which is only a 60° diagonal field of view) compared to higher end models but good enough for me, and I think the Video quality is acceptable as long as there are good lighting source. So far, the mic seemed to work just fine in a quite room with me speaking less than 3 feet (1 meter) from the mic, and maybe the "mono noise cancelling mic" does work as advertised.
So far, quite satisfied after using it to teach a week of online classes, with the students able to hear me clearly from their side and they can see me well; hope it stays that way for longer time than I need for a webcam into the future.
* Not sure but I cannot find any serial number on the box or in any of the 2 accompanied little piece of papers (with some Chinese words) that looks like a warranty card or maybe a QC slip! And there wasn't any mentioning of Warranty information on the web page of the product offered BUT the product is advertised as "Shopee Gurantee" + "Preferred" + "100% Authentic Guarantee".
