Logitech C615 vs C922 - Where are the differences?

Let's take a closer look at the differences between the two webcams C615* and C922* from Logitech. The newer model of the two is the Logitech C922. The device is from the year 2016. The year of release of the Logitech C615 is 2011.

Which webcam has the higher resolution?

The resolution is one of the most important factors for a webcam and therefore elementary for the purchase decision. The two webcams Logitech C615 and Logitech C922 do not differ at this point. Both provide a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 px (FullHD). The resolution and frame rate factors are often also a reason why an external webcam is worthwhile. With most built-in webcams in notebooks, the resolution and frame rate is quite low.

Which webcam gives the better frame rate?

This brings us to the next important factor: the frame rate, or fps (frames per second). This specification describes how many frames per second can be recorded and played back. The higher the value, the smoother the picture runs.

However, the frame rate often varies depending on the resolution. Some devices have a higher framerate at a lower resolution. This is also the case here. At the top of the table you can find the resolutions with the corresponding framerate.

If a resolution of 1080p is set, the values of the framerate do not differ (30 fps).

There is a difference in 720p resolution. With 60 fps, the Logitech C922* offers more than the Logitech C615 in comparison at this point. The Logitech C615 only has 30 fps at the resolution.

Field of view

The larger the field of view, the more of the environment a webcam can capture. However, a larger field of view is not necessarily better, as it can also capture more privacy. The Logitech C615 and Logitech C922 do not differ in the maximum value here. Both have a maximum visual range of 78 °. The field of view is not adjustable for either webcam.

In contrast to the Logitech C922, the Logitech C615 offers the possibility of rotation by 360°.

Is there a microphone installed?

With most webcams, there is an integrated microphone. For streaming or when no headset is available, this is beneficial. Both the Logitech C615 and the Logitech C922 offer an integrated microphone. However, the type differs. The Logitech C615 provides an Mono recording. The Logitech C922 features an Stereo recording.

Is there a tripod?

Both webcams offer the possibility to attach a tripod. However, not every package includes this. A tripod is interesting if the webcam cannot be attached directly to the screen or notebook. A tripod is also interesting for live streams.
