Video chatting has never been easier. There's Skype, Facetime, Google Hangouts, even most IM clients support video chat at this point. If you want something a bit better than the camera that's probably built into your laptop or desktop though, you'll need a new webcam. Last week, we asked you which webcams you thought were worth buying. Then we took a a look at the five best webcams, based on your nominations. We put them to a vote, and now we're back to highlight the overall winner.
The Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 stole the show with over 51% of the overall vote, taking the top spot by a broad margin. Even though it's pricey, you all praised its true 1080p video and call quality, exceptional still photos, autofocus, and built-in stereo noise-isolation microphone. Money well spent.
In second place with close to 17% of the vote was the Logitech HD Webcam C270, an affordable option that gets the job done and makes for a great Hackintosh camera. Just behind it in third with close to 16% of the vote was the Microsoft LifeCam Studio, Microsoft's high-end webcam that's notable for its glass front and adjustable neck. Behind it in fourth place was Microsoft's LifeCam Cinema with 9% of the vote, a slight step down from the Studio in features and price, and in fifth place was Microsoft's entry-level webcam, the Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000, bringing in close to 8% of the votes cast.
