If you're in the market for a webcam, and you can't find one that suits your needs, you'll be glad to hear that Logitech has today announced no less than seven new models.
The all-new line up - consisting of the Logitech Webcam Pro 9000, Logitech 2 MP Portable Webcam C905, Logitech 2 MP Webcam C600, Logitech 1.3 MP C500, Logitech 1.3 MP C300, Logitech Webcam C250 and the Logitech Webcam C200 - aim to "make it easy to see your friends and family around the world", and are each compatible with Logitech's Vid software.
At the top of the new range, Logitech's Webcam Pro 9000 (pictured above) features Carl Zeiss optics with autofocus and a two megapixel HD sensor that'll allow for 720p video or eight megapixel stills.
Prices range from €109.99 for the Webcam Pro 9000 down to as little as €19.99 for the 1.3 megapixel Webcam C200. Interested? All seven will be hitting stores in August, and further details can be found in Logitech's official press release.
*Update*
Wondering what exactly is the difference between the new WebCam Pro 9000 and the QuickCam Pro 9000 that's already available? Here's Logitech's answer:
There are a few subtle changes:
- While the QuickCam Pro 9000 offers VGA-quality video at 30 frames per second (high-quality video) on Skype, we made adjustments to ensure the updated Webcam Pro 9000 can perform up to VGA-quality video at 30 FPS on any video application, including Logitech Vid.
- The Webcam Pro 9000 was modified to be capable of adjusting to widescreen format and record 720 pixels (1280×720) at up to 30 FPS.
- Finally, software is no longer required for RightLight. Instead, we’ve built it into the device, so right out of the box, you’ll get the best image quality possible, regardless of harsh or dim lighting conditions. Perhaps too much information, but we also adjusted the firmware to make sure that RightLight engages only when necessary.
