The C510 has a lens that can rotate 360 degrees, which makes it easy to record the action around you. It also includes rubberized pads on the two-part clipping mechanism that help prevent scratches. In short, the C510 will look good sitting on top of your notebook's display, external monitor, or simply resting on the stand's rounded bottom for desktops.

The C510 is plug-and-play, so once you slip the USB port into your PC, the camera's drivers upload either automatically (Windows XP) or with a few prompts (Windows 7, Vista). While Logitech's proprietary HD video calling software can be downloaded from the company's website, software for taking 8-megapixel still shots, playing with Logitech's engaging effects options, and capturing and editing (but not streaming) 720p video can only be installed from the included software CD. The device doesn't support Macs.
