When you compare the Logitech C922 vs. C920, the similarity is undeniable.

They have the same hardware and sensor, so because of that, the color shift difference on your screen between those two is almost undetectable.

Also, both of the webcams film in 1080p at 30 FPS. But the C922 has the feature of 60 FPS at 720p. Resolution because of the better firmware that comes with it. So that makes the C922 better in a darker environment than the C920.

The C922 also comes with the 3rd party software support for background removal, and that is pretty much it, which makes the C922 just a slightly upgraded version of the C920.

Logitech C920

Design-wise the C920 comes in black color, and it is a 3.7-inch webcam with LED and microphones on both sides. It also comes with a 6-foot length USB cord that you can connect to your device.

And when it comes to picture quality, the C920 has a 5-megapixel (5168 x 2907) camera, and it features an automatic low-light correction, and a top-notch video quality coming in at 1080p.

The C920 offers great microphones that provide a loud and clear audio sound during your video calls and streaming sessions.

We’ve looked around the web and the lowest price we’ve found the Logitech C920 was at 50 dollars.

Software

The C920 uses Logitech’s Webcam Software for Windows. This program allows you to zoom in or out with the camera or move left or right, which may be useful in many situations.

The most fun part of the software is that it features many background changes and avatars you can use on your streams. Sadly, the program tends to crash, and it works slowly.

Logitech C922

Design-wise, the Logitech C922 is identical to the Logitech C920, same color and size, the same microphone placement, and even the same 6-foot USB cord. The only thing that stands out with the Logitech C922 is that it comes with a tripod.

The tripod provides you with a 360-degree swivel mount, and the legs of the tripod extend up to 7.3 inches.

The picture quality in the C922 comes with an improved low-light correction, which makes it even better. And the audio sound is amazing. It’s clear, even if you are several feet away.

Also, Logitech is selling the C922 in two versions for the same price. So you can either get it with the tripod or get it with a six-month XSlit license.

The Logitech C922 can be found for a price of 70 dollars.

Software

The C922 doesn’t work the same as the C920. This one comes with specific apps made for streaming. This software is called ChromaCam. This program creates a green-screen behind the streamer, and you can use some of the many backgrounds, or you can even upload your own picture as your backdrop.

So if you are a streamer and already use XSplit Gamecaster or OBS to stream, you will just need to change some settings and, you are ready to use ChromaCam.

Which one is better?

Looking at the features and the potential of both webcams, we would give it to the Logitech C922.

With the Logitech C920, you need the green screen feature and the software separately, as with the C922 is not a removal feature. Instead, it comes with the camera.

Also, as we said earlier, the C920 can only do 30FPS max, as the C922 can do 60 FPS.

Conclusion

Both of these webcams are nice and will provide you with an amazing experience for their price.

If you are on a stricter budget, you should go for the C920, and if you can allow yourself to spend a little bit more, you can get the C922.

Typically, people get away from Logitech products because of the software and drivers’ problems in most of their devices. But keep in mind that they made some changes and fixed many problems they had with their software.
