Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3MI2DXFL7CWNZ The logitech HD webcam c525 is a great quality webcam at a very affordable price. I have enjoyed using it, learning the different features, and playing around with options. The webcam is very easy to use, plug it in, hang the camera on your Monitor and have fun! Highly recommended.
*edited to add, I've been having a lot of fun with my webcam, making videos and spamming friends and family:) The controls are easy to use and adjust. We actually did send my mom the other camera, and my son walked her through it. I was right, it was so easy even she could use it! We are now on Skype and the quality for what we want, being able to talk "face to face" is great.
Any out of focus issues are mine, later video shot with the webcam are much better but I wanted to do my first impression video, warts and all, to give a good sample of someone totally non-tech using and enjoying the webcam.

Like other reviews previously posted, I also received this item through the Amazon Vine program. I was setting up to do a video review when I noticed that there is already one good technical video review on the page and one very good more practical review. Thus, I decided to do something a bit different. Having just received the webcam and still being in the honeymoon stage with it, I decided to come back after several months of usage with the video review of a more long term user. Sometimes our initial impressions give way to harsher realities after a product has been put to a more grueling test! So let's see how this holds up to the scrutiny of everyday use over time.
I have never owned a stand-alone webcam, so this is my first. But my laptop does have a built-in unit which I have played around with a bit. While picture clarity and ease of function are both good on this device, it has limited versatility as it is fastened to my laptop in a stationary position. The Logitech HD Webcam C525, Portable HD 720p Video Calling with Autofocus was installed on my desktop computer. The unit itself has complete portability and has much more versatility. It does have an adjustable tension clip, but we can't quite get it hooked onto our flatscreen monitor with any precision so we keep it adjacent to the screen for during non-chat times.
Initial reaction:
Ease of Installation: Even if you lack technical savvy, this device is a breeze to install. Just use the provided CD, and you'll literally be going in a few minutes assuming you can follow simple on-screen instructions.
Intuitive: I never read instruction manuals--I like to play with my new toys. Here, the Logitech webcam again exceeds expectations. It is completely intuitive to use, gives you appropriate prompts and gets you on target instantly. Anything that you need to know can be easily figured out during initial usage. You don't have to be particularly smart (whew!) or computer literate, this is an easy camera to use.
Autofocus: So far, this seems like a good feature. Definitely does a good job if your primary goal is in chatting. It's less detailed, as you might imagine, if you're trying to display more intricate items--but it works great for my fat head!
Picture Clarity: As I mentioned, I'm no expert in comparing this to other choices available on the marketplace. I haven't done the comparison shopping to make a valid point here, but for standard chatting use--I see no reason why this wouldn't be perfectly clear and acceptable to any home user.
Price: The Logitech HD Webcam C525 certainly fits comfortably in the mid-range price level of webcams. As such, my initial impressions of the item are extremely favorable. Seems to be quite adept, with strong performance abilities, for a moderate retail price tag.
Again, I will revisit this review in several months to see where we stand after some time has gone by. At about 4 1/2 stars during this phase, let's hope that can hold up or improve. But I'm quite pleased with what I've seen so far. Seems like it would be a perfect unit for homes needing a easy-to-use and affordable webcam. KGHarris, 6/11.

After borrowing a friends Logitech C510, I decided to buy the C525 since it came with the auto-focus feature. However, I was extremely disappointed upon finding that when not using the auto-focus feature, the C525 has much worse image quality than the C510, i.e. the image appears fuzzy and out of focus. 'Focusing' in simply makes the image even fuzzier. Since I don't plan on using the auto-focus feature much anyway, I'd just as soon buy the C510. Logitech made this model with more features but with worse quality than the C510 predecessor.
