You can buy some off brand 1080p cameras for the same price and they work fine.
I have a 'Saitor' one which works fine and looks great. Bought one for both my parents and grandparents and they have no issues either. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B088NXL2CQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
A better substitute for the C270 would probably be a Saitor Webcam. Same pricing as the regular price of the C270 but camera quality is much better.
I'm not OP, but my girlfriend got this one and so far it's been pretty good for her. I personally have a Logitech one, but they're closer to $100 lately on Amazon. I prefer mine over her webcam, but for $40 you can't go wrong.
I got this wide-angle oneit shows a lot. which may or may not be welcome haha
I’m using this one. It’s good enough for my purpose.

I bought this one on Amazon. It has a built in mic and 1080p video, also it has a lens cover which is a bonus. No complaints so far :)
Pretty sure he's right I bought a REALLY similar webcam for family last year it looks exactly the same : https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B088NXL2CQ/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o01\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
