Answer 1

I have the same problem as you, that I cant get a higher resolution in opencv different "application". But with the Logitech Software I am able to record videos in 720p (camera C270 ). After some days of research, I came to the same explanation as @break that they restricted the resolution in the driver. I gave it up and will buy a different, non Logitech, one...
