The Logitech C925E was the follow-up to the legendary Logitech C920 webcam.

In fact, the initial version was called the C920c. It shares almost all of the same specs with the C920, but with a few additional tweaks internally and externally. Is it better than the original C920? Let's find out!

  • Which webcam did you like more? The C920 or the C925E? 🤔

  • I didn't know that Philip Bloom is testing webcams as well.

  • The C925e was my first choice for deployment during lockdown - when we could actually get stock of course. We went from thin clients running Citrix to 300+ laptops - all HP Elitebook and Probooks (when I'm stock again!) and the webcams were pretty awful. Thin clients on-site needed dedicated webcams, and senior leadership were given the C925e for the "sudden" shift to Teams. I tried the Brio and was unimpressed, but kept the StreamCam for my home office setup which has served me well - even when I played with a MFT camera. We've moved onto HP docking monitors with integrated webcams for all on-site desks, but I still prefer the adjustability of the c925e (especially as a second document camera) and the simple to use privacy cover which is far superior to the flaps on other Logitech webcams. Great comparison as always!

    • Thanks and good rationale. It also works with the newer UVC spec. Either of these world be massive improvements to the standard bezel often 720p webcams. The optics surprised me a little to be honest, the slightly more pink hue is a pretty common deviation. Both are solid and super similar in almost every way, but in a business setting, I too would optimize for the microphone, given how close the images are.

  • Via youtube the c920 seemed to over expose the highlights on your face a bit. It's not awful but it's there. The c925e found a more even tone across your face. They are filming you at slightly different angles, but it seemed to be exposure/dynamic range target than reflection angle. Overall though it continues to be crazy how good the basic logitechs are, even the c920 which is a grandfather in webcam terms. You pay a bit for the brand name but they work so well.

    • I noticed that too, but it's very slight (compared to most webcams I try) and once you fiddle with the UVC controls a tiny bit, that goes away. I couldn't perfectly match the angles even though both were overlapping and lenses were maybe 4"/100mm separated. The 925 actually seemed a degree or 2 less than the FOV of the 920, but the sensors may have been at slightly different depths. I avoided zooming and using PTZ controls to get exact frame match, because I did that with the OBSBOT and Insta360 and people really saw the effects of the digital zoom. They are kind of within rounding errors of each other in many respects and out may also be production variance and age. This is a different 920 than I normally use (it's actually older) and it didn't seem as default yellow as my other one. So even within the same model there are variances.

  • Thanks for the video however i had a question. My c920 has started glitching during my streams but i stream crafting not my face, any idea if there is a better replacement for autofocusing of the c920?

    • If you fix your camera in one position, I'd probably use manual focus. Not sure how your camera is glitching, but it could be unrelated to the hardware. The C920 is a solid camera and if you like it and the hardware is having issues, I'd probably buy a C922 or new C920. They are only $70 or so at the moment.

    • @DeployJeremy thank you for your advice. I didnt like the c922 and it also artifacts/glitches when i use manual focus and im currently using the c920 hd pro unless you mean a different newer one?

      @mrskilted@mrskilted7 ай бұрын
    • @@mrskilted C922 has newer internals and and firmware, but is still the same form factor. I haven't had artifacting with my C920s, maybe try a webcam that can do 1080p with 60 frames per second? Is your computer relatively new with USB 3 ports? Because 4k and 1080p60 needs a decent amount of USB bandwidth.

  • sorry for saying Logitech C920 it is not a good camera it can be seen in the fog a little and does not focus well about Logitech C925e I have a very good opinion. The video quality is very clear and very clean The webcam is really good Logitech C925e

    • Fair and true observation on exposure blow out, but they were both super close. Minor UVC adjustments fixed that. Neither is capable of manual exposure setting. Sharpness for me was about the same though. I was judging on hair strands vs. eyes though.
