It isn’t for quality snobs, that’s for sure-but it does provide value to those in poor lighting situations. Taking into consideration performance, design, and pricing, the Logitech HD Webcam C525 has a few niche benefits. So, the question is: is a $30 difference worth it for better light control and optical sensor? It depends on your needs. You do miss out on better light correction, too. You can get the same 720p output from the Logitech C270 Widescreen HD Webcam, with only a hit to the optical sensor, at half the price. The Logitech C525 is a bit overpriced when considering its performance. Another gripe is the microphone picks up a fair amount of static and white noise. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have internal storage. The only way to access optical zoom is through Logietch webcam software, like Logitech Vid HD, which is free.

Image stability will definitely benefit from a dedicated tripod. You can further fiddle with your settings via Logitech video effects.

While 1080p would be ideal, 720p is still considered “HD video capture.” On the bright side, its auto-light correction is top-notch for the price, especially when under harsh lighting. When you’re in video calls or recording, you’ll be limited to 720p.

Compared to the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, the C525 is quite bulky with its dimensions of 8.25 x 3 x 6 inches and weight of 9.4-oz. There’s a powerful 8MP optical sensor underneath the lens, which takes great pictures.
