It's High Def -- it swivels and it's portable!

Leo loves the Logitech C910 that I use weekly to record the video version of the Daily Giz Wiz. TWiT often sends one of those C910 web cams to guests who are going to on shows often in order to ensure good video quality. But now if you need a webcam that can go wherever you go, Logitech introduces the HD Webcam C510. It has a neat fold-and-go design. But there’s more! It also a feature I love and really needed! The C510 features 360-degree rotation so you can swivel the webcam around to include more people in your video calls and recordings. This something I really need when I have guests at the Gizneyland Studio. Since this was the gadget of the day, I installed it and used it to record this episode. Leo thought the webcam picture looked even better than the C910, even though the higher end model has a Carl Zeiss lens. So the C510 is the webcam I’ll be using from now on. It features HD 720p video calls on Logitech Vid HD, or any service that supports HD video calling.  Something Logitech calls Right-Light and Right-Sound do a good job of making your picture and sound look even better. There’s one-click upload to Facebook, and YouTube so it’s real easy to record and share videos. In addition to HD video you can shoot 8-megapixel photos. Although the camera comes with software that only works on Windows machines, I’ve heard from MAC users that they can use this webcam with no problem. You just won’t have all the software features you can use on a Windows machine. List price $59.99, but do a web search. It’s on Amazon for about $55. And that price might drop as the webcam gets into more and more locations.
