So you expect it to be more than 2.1 MP? FullHD is 2.1 MP, that's correct as is.

Hi Mcknife,

Just trying to get the pro settings to work and they don't seem to come up, should I lodge a different question.The camera app is up to date. 

Thank you. 
Pro Settings... don't know.
I have used a Logitech Full HD Cam recently and the application (Cisco Webex Meeting) didn't use FullHD until I configured it within WebEx!
Maybe it's the same reason for you.

Hi Mcknife,

Just checked that model, it looks good I might buy it.

Thank you. 
Just remember what "Web-Cams" are mostly used for. Video Chats mainly, & for that you don't need the highest resolutions, HD or Full-HD should be more than good enough. Much more important is a fast & reliable Internet connection, as otherwise you will get a jumpy & erratic display of the Video Stream, & that will worsen the higher the Resolution you set.

If you want High Quality Pictures or Videos, you should rather get a real Camera & not a Web-Cam.
