Logitech Clicksmart 310

I bought my Logitech ClickSmart 310 webcam 2 years ago and I am quite satisfied with its quality. It doesn't just work as a webcam. It works as a digital camera too when unplugged from the computer.

As a webcam:

Logitech ClickSmart 310 is a high-quality web cam, I must say. It provides vivid images and it is a very reliable web cam. An online cam-to-cam experience with my relatives and friends hasn't embarrassed me yet with this web cam as it gives superior quality.

* With effective sensor resolution of 300,000 pixels
* With automatic exposure modes
* With CMOS optical sensor type
* With 0.1 megapixel resolution
* With Video Capture of 640 x 480 in web cam mode
* With F/2.4 lens type

As a digital Camera:

Logitech ClickSmart 310 is not just a web cam. It is also a detachable digital camera that can be detached from the PC. My former web cam didn't have this feature. With the use of 4 AAA batteries, I can bring it anywhere and take pictures with it.

* With 2 MB integrated memory
* With 352 x 480 : 40 standard image storage
* *With self timer
* With 10-second timer delay
* With optical real-image viewfinder
* With free focus adjustment
* With 15.7 in minimum focus range
* With F/2.4 lens aperture

Conclusion

Logitech ClickSmart 310 is a high-quality web cam and it provides good video quality. I love the body design that comes with a stand. This web cam doubly acts just like a toy digital camera. I can bring it anywhere and I take pictures with it with utmost ease. However, when I detach it from PC and use it as a digital camera, the quality of the pictures becomes quite poor. It has no flash to be used for snapshots and I can't adjust the lens. I think the digital-camera feature of this web cam is just a freebie feature anyway so the poor-still-image quality is not a big issue for me.

Generally as a web cam, Logitech ClickSmart 310 provides great-quality images. It doesn't have a microphone though, but I still love its features. Its dual function as a webcam and as a digital camera is great. For the price of £18 when I purchased it, I think I got a good value for my money with this webcam.
