Anyone here still use the c910. I have had 4 of them go bad over time. It seems like the picture quality gets fuzzy over time... Same with the c920.. Kinda loses focus
I can't say much for the C920 as I have a few new ones for the studio, but the Cinema Lifecam has definitely gone fuzzy and has lost its focus over time, even when I try to tweak them.
I think that's just part of using webcams over a good solid camera.
Interesting...not sure why the sensors would degrade over time. From a little research it appears that heat may have an impact on longevity, which is no surprise. A couple people cited individual pixels failing over time. However I couldn't find any conclusive reason or even significant anecdotal evidence of what you are seeing. I am interested since I have invested in 2 c920s. Although I will likely end up using the camcorders for most of the work I do...
