			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I've got the C910 and only just started to play around with it this week.  Even though the software is pretty much the same as the 9000 the quality of the camera is miles better.  The 9000 has to be at least 3 and a half years old now and even though is a great camera the C910 is just top notch. I think a lot of light flicker may come down to your lighting. 

Oh, one helpful person on the forums here gave me a tip to download the full installer from Logitech's website as the software on the disc had no White Balance option.  The website installer does though so now I'm very happy.!

It aint cheap but Amazon I think is the cheapest place I've seen it

Hope this helps]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Wow, this is sad. Four days after I post this topic and all I have is one reply from a guy that doesn't have a C910, one off-topic question, and one person asking for a topic on the QC9K. 
(Although like I said earlier, I wouldn't mind that topic at all.) ;)

So, since nobody else wants to reply about the C910, how about answering my second question. [quote=I]...are there any other webcams that might work well for animation?
[/quote] I love brick-filming, but I can't do it without a camera. I've got everything ready for my next film, scripts, sets, minifigures and even CGI, but I can't do anything else without a good camera. 
I'm getting a little frustrated, to say the least. So if someone could point me to a good camera that works, then I'll be happy. But another question is, are the other brands (Non-Logitech) plagued by the light-flicker as well? Or is that only Logitech?]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Do you know if there's much of a difference in quality between the C910 and the C905? 

And both in comparison to the QC9000? I have the 905 and with a bit of color correction, it produces a very clear and crisp video. The only drawback is that I had a bit of flicker, but that might have been my set.]]></content>

[/quote][quote=TheBrickHood]Please do.[/quote]
I second that! But not the sometime part, how about today? :P


But anyway, I've tried other settings and higher resolution. 
I also have three lights and no paper, but still the flicker remains. :(]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I would think so. They use the same controller software.

I use the 9000, and I don't have any light flicker. I use 3 lamps, one above, one aiming at the background, and one aiming at the minifig. There's no paper on the lamps. Frame averaging helps, and the settings might need adjusting. Also, try shooting at a high resolution (I film at 1280x720) and using full-spectrum lightbulbs. The main thing is to have your lighting as bright as you can so the camera's light settings (Exposure, Brightness, Gain) would be lower. Also, there's an older verion of the controller software that gives you at least one more setting.

I think I'll make a thread sometime on how to get good picture quality and get rid of light flicker with the 9000.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I have been having the same light-flicker problem on my QC9K as Lord Lajaka has [url=http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/topic/11804/logitech-webcam-annoying-problem-please-help/]Here,[/url] and that others have reported as well. As far as I know, there is no known fix for this. And you must either deal with it or buy a new cam. After going through two Quickcams that both had the problem, I am going to try something else. So does anyone know if the C910 has the same problem?
And if it does, are there any other webcams that might work well for animation?]]></content>
