(checked 2026-10-10)22,040 ratings on the C920x listing. Expert reviews cover the C920s; we didn't confirm how the C920x and C920s differ.
Amazon's #2 best-selling webcam (checked 2026-10-10), with only 4% 1-2 star ratings across 22,000+ ratings. It's a reliable plug-and-play 1080p camera, but it's an old design: Tom's Hardware says the newer Brio 500 produces much better images, and owners report autofocus drift and some early failures.
Top complaints
- Autofocus drifts out of focus
Amazon's summary says autofocus gets mixed feedback, with owners reporting it going out of focus.
- Older image tech
Tom's Hardware says the Brio 500 has the same surface specs as the C920s but produces much better images. Tom's Guide notes the 78-degree field of view can't be adjusted.
- Some units fail early; Mac complaints
Amazon's summary says owners disagree on reliability, with some reporting it broke after a month. It also says some owners found it doesn't work with Mac systems, although the listing names Mac support.
What owners love
- Clear 1080p video
Tom's Guide found clear, realistic video with rich colors from the glass lens, and autofocus that kept up as it moved. Amazon owners call the picture quality excellent.
- True plug-and-play
Tom's Guide says it works without software, while the optional app adds manual focus, white balance and zoom. Amazon owners praise the setup and say it works well with Teams, Zoom, Google Chat and Skype.
- Dual mics are good enough
Tom's Guide says the two mics kept its voice clear over room noise: 'very good, but not great' audio.
