Hello there! So I plan on getting an iMac as my primary workstation for creating YouTube videos (using Final Cut Pro X and the Blue Yeti) and I plan on purchasing a webcam to record my videos with. The only issue I have so far is that I don't know which webcam to get. I've looked at all the Logitech webcams such as the C920, the C922, and BRIO and I still can't make a decision. I want my videos to be in very good 1080p quality, so what webcam would you all recommend?
Got a tip for us?

The only webcams I've personally used with any Mac would be the built-in on in the iMac, the old iSight webcam, and a Logitech... something. Forget the model number. Out of the 3, I'd use the built-in one, if I needed to. Logitech are good, but when it comes to colors, many people report it having issues with blue and purple colors, reporting that some shades of purple look blue on camera.
To get a better picture than a webcam, I know people who suggest using a DSLR camera, not a dedicated webcam. This route however is also the most costly one.

Are you also an iPhone user? There are my videos and tutorials on how to use an iPhone as a webcam.
I just ordered this one from Amazon refurbished. Comes with the tripod which I will need, I don't think it will fit well on top of my Dell U38". I can let you know how its functions with my setup next week when I receive it. I read mixed reviews with some saying it won't work with Mac and some say yes. The manufacture says it can.
Yes, please let me know how it is! I was debating either getting this webcam or the C920 and putting that on an arm mount on my desk since I don't like putting my webcam on the monitor itself.
Samadams I got my webcam today. Logitech C922. I have FaceTime my sister and created a few recordings in Photobooth. So far spot on. The auto focus and auto lighting is very good. It was plug and play almost. Downloaded the Logitech app and had to turn the microphone on. I think I made a good choice so far.
I looked into the background changing and that is an option only for Windows but they are working on a Mac version. They are going to send me notification when it is out.
