I've not had much chance to play with the webcam ...

Please take a look at post#5 in this thread: http://forums.quickcamteam.net/showthread.php?tid=1345

It supports 1280x720 @ 30 fps (ie 720p @ 30 fps) and 1920x1080 @ 30 fps (ie 1080 @ 30 fps) according to that link.

I have not had this webcam long enough to do any real testing (I had other things to do tonight and also the rest of this week).

I have played it at 1920 x 1080 but I have not determined if that is a rendered vs direct resolution that I get.

Also, its one thing to say video resolution is supported at 1920x1080 using guvcview, but its another thing to obtain a high resolution in a specific application.

To stave off any Skype questions, I do not use Skype (which appears to be the app many people use for conferencing) so I can not answer any questions on that.

Good luck.

  The Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 (046d:0821) uvc / linux compatible webcam
arrived in the mail today.

I plugged it into my desktop PC (Asus PST Deluxe V2 w/6 GB RAM and Core i7
920 CPU).

It immediately worked with cheese and wxcam on a 64-bit openSUSE-11.2.  I
have not yet tested any other applications nor distributions.

Resolutions I tried were 320x240, 640x480, and 960x720, ... but this webcam
has MANY other resolutions available.

I used 'mpeg' output format and also 'auto' (not sure what auto was using).
  Clearly the webcam is compatible with Linux. As to what features are
available, I do not know enough about the web camera at this time to say. I
can say it shows a picture at very very good quality.

The "lsusb -v" output is MASSIVE. So rather than put it in an email, I
copied and pasted it here:
http://pastebin.ca/1967260

The basic "lsusb" yields:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:0821 Logitech, Inc.

I think it safe to say this webcam works with Linux, albeit the full range
of features present in MS-Windows may not be available in Lniux (I don't do
windows so I can not compare to windows and hence I can not say).

Hi,

  OK, ... well, I went ahead and ordered it via mail order.  :)

I figure if it does not work well, I have many friends who use MS-Windows
who would love to have it as a gift. :)

If it does work reasonably well, what will I have to do to have the UVC
compatibility list updated to reflect that the Logitech HD Pro Webcam
C910
(046d:0821) works with Linux and the UVC driver?

Usually Laurent asks for the output of "lsusb -v", so I guess a little
report on the camera compatibility, accompanied by this will be
enough.
But that's up to Laurent ;-D

Paulo
