Our take
The Logitech Portable Webcam C905 is a documented legacy travel webcam with autofocus, a built-in microphone, USB 2.0, and video up to 1600×1200 at up to 30 fps. Logitech's exact part is 960-000045; the frozen Amazon ASIN is not verified, so a model search is used.
A legacy or travel setup where Logitech's documented autofocus, up-to-30-fps video, carrying case and stand matter more than current software support, 60 fps or a known wide-angle frame..
Not for buyers who need 4K, 60 fps, a documented wide diagonal angle, confirmed physical lens privacy, current operating-system support, or a direct link to the frozen ASIN.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- Logitech's datasheet names Portable Webcam C905 and part 960-000045.
- It documents autofocus, a 2MP sensor, video up to 1600×1200, a 720p widescreen mode, and up to 30 fps.
- The package list includes a three-foot USB cable, desktop stand and carrying case.
What to weigh up
- The documented maximum frame rate is 30 fps; no 60fps or 4K video mode is listed.
- The datasheet gives no field-of-view measurement and does not document a physical lens cover.
- Its 2009 system requirements name Windows XP, Vista and 7, and the historical candidate ASIN remains unmapped.
The key details

What the features mean for you
The model record and the offer boundary
Logitech's datasheet identifies the Portable Webcam C905 and part number 960-000045. The frozen candidate names the same model and part, but its historical Amazon page for B000RZNI4S could not be opened during this review. The product therefore links to a tagged Amazon search for the exact model and part rather than claiming that ASIN as a verified match. The manufacturer document is dated 2009, so its facts describe that documented product and software environment. They do not establish a current Amazon offer, present stock, a current warranty, or modern host support. This review follows the Logitech datasheet and keeps those boundaries visible; it does not rely on personal testing, present-day prices, or customer-review summaries.
Video modes and focus
Logitech lists a native 2MP sensor and high-definition video up to 1600×1200, along with a 720p widescreen mode. It gives a maximum video rate of 30 frames per second, but does not provide a full table joining every resolution to a rate. The datasheet's enhanced photo figure of up to eight megapixels is a still-image figure and should not be read as an eight-megapixel live-video mode. Carl Zeiss optics with autofocus are explicitly listed. That gives a stronger focus record than a generic listing claim, although the document does not state minimum focus distance or a measured focus range. It has no listed 4K or 60fps video mode. For an ordinary older video-call setup, the documented 720p mode may be sufficient; a buyer who needs high-frame-rate motion capture should select a camera with a mode table that explicitly lists it.
Framing and light are separate questions
The product sheet describes RightLight 2 as technology that adjusts brightness, including in dim or backlit settings. That is an image-adjustment feature, not documentation of a physical lamp built into the camera. The datasheet provides no horizontal, vertical, or diagonal field-of-view measurement, so a group-call buyer cannot use it to predict how much of a room will fit in frame. It also does not list a physical lens cap or shutter. I leave the angle and cover attributes unknown rather than turning a short feature list into a claim that the camera lacks those parts. A buyer who needs to cover the lens between calls or fit several people should compare a model with explicit physical-cover and diagonal-angle documentation. The C905's named autofocus does not answer either of those framing questions.
Audio, USB and the original package
Logitech documents a built-in microphone with RightSound technology and a Hi-Speed Certified USB 2.0 connection. The datasheet does not state microphone pickup range, speaker presence, microphone mute behavior, or whether any lens cover stops audio. It lists a three-foot USB cable, desktop stand, carrying case, software CD, and user documentation in the package. The official requirements name Windows XP SP2 or later, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, with a USB 2.0 connection recommended. These historical requirements are useful when assessing an older computer or original software disc, but they do not promise compatibility with current Windows or macOS releases, browsers, meeting applications, adapters, or capture software. Check the target host independently and expect that the original included software may not be a practical path on a newer system.
Who should consider this C905
The C905 is a reasonable candidate when a buyer wants a named Logitech travel webcam, a documented autofocus lens, modest live-video modes, an integrated microphone, and a carrying case and desktop stand. It is a poor match when the decision depends on 1080p60, 4K, a known diagonal field, a confirmed privacy cover, or present-day software support. The tagged exact-model search lets the buyer inspect any current listing without pretending the old B000RZNI4S candidate was proven to be the same offer. For a more fully documented 1080p desk camera, Logitech C920 has a manufacturer-published 1080p30 mode, autofocus, and 78-degree diagonal field; choose Logitech C922 when its documented 720p60 mode matters more. These comparisons are based on published mode and feature records, not measured image quality. If the C905 appears in a current search, verify condition, included accessories, and host compatibility in that exact offer.
What else to compare
Choose Logitech C920 for a documented 1080p30 mode, autofocus and 78-degree diagonal view. Choose Logitech C922 if documented 720p60 capture is more important than a travel case and legacy software package.
Before you buy
Which C905 version is covered here?
This entry follows Logitech's Portable Webcam C905 datasheet for part 960-000045. The candidate Amazon ASIN B000RZNI4S is not verified, so the purchase link is a tagged model-and-part search.
Does it record 1080p or 4K video?
The datasheet lists video up to 1600×1200 and a 720p widescreen mode. It does not document 1080p or 4K video.
Does the C905 autofocus?
Yes. Logitech lists Carl Zeiss optics with autofocus, but does not give a minimum focus distance.
Does the RightLight feature mean it has a lamp?
No built-in lamp is documented. RightLight 2 is described as image-brightness adjustment.
What comes in the documented package?
The 2009 datasheet lists a webcam with three-foot USB cable, software CD, desktop stand, carrying case, and user documentation.

The decision
The C905 has a precise Logitech part identity, autofocus, USB 2.0, microphone and travel accessories, with video documented up to 30 fps. Its older host requirements, unknown field of view and unmapped candidate ASIN make it a model-search purchase for buyers who can verify the exact offer and system fit.
