I appreciate the HD high quality photos that are made with this camera! The image clarity is good, even in a dimly lit room. The audio high quality of the microphone is quite impressive. I personal a few various logitech cameras that operate wonderfully, but the sound good quality seems to lack in these models. Overall I would say it isn't a negative camera. I have numerous different PCs in my property and the very first 1 I hooked this camera up to is an older machine my wife utilizes to goof around on the net. I tried recording some video on that machine but could only get a low resolution image mainly because of the lacking speed. I then changed it to my gaming Computer and it worked wonderfully. If you are searching for a camera for a low finish machine I would consider twice about this camera due to the fact it might be far more than you want. Just a thought... I like the auto adhere to feature on my logitech cam. I want this device had the alternative available for that. Not a deal killer in my opinion, but would have been a good feature.

Clear picture, great colors, and auto-concentrate operates fine for me. Blue LED is not overly bright, but perfect for knowing when the camera is active. Microphone hiss is not an concern, is a great size and weight to stay on the monitor, and doesn't move substantially. It also pans left and suitable (something most HD Logitech models don't do). Calls for a pretty hefty bit of computing power for 720p, but that is the nature of the beast. The mic could be additional directional, though it picks up clearly and cleanly. I suspect the microphone hiss this was purported to have was either fixed with a firmware revision, or those who were utilizing the integral mic had the acquire pushed as well far, causing hiss. The mic will hiss if gain is 100% with რ db boost added. Turning down the achieve will eliminate the hiss.

Could not believe the top quality of the video . Excellent job MS quite impressed. This is a need to have I cant say anything negative about it

Its a webcam No assistance for XP64? Even Logitech webcams help it. MS can't support their own items to work with each other, somewhat of a joke.

The title says it all. It has a fantastic image and the audio works nicely, but... I use yahoo messenger for video chat and it regularly fails. After a few minutes I won't see my chatmates face any longer, I'll see mine in both cam windows and we have to each restart. Not certain why this takes place. I've updated my drivers and yahoo is the most up-to-date version. Frustrating. If you're not making use of ym its in all probability a good cam.

Has a sharp image...when focused. Fast set up. Auto focus is horrible. Kept going in and out of focus all of the time. Then I attempted to turn it on manual concentrate but then the colors had been blotchy b/c I had to turn off the auto characteristics. RMAd. Newegg as usual took care of it. Get Logitech as an alternative, much far better peripherals.

Physically a good seeking item, decent price. The integrated software has some intriguing effects you and your kid may well get a kick out of. Decent cost. Package was a discomfort to open. So many pieces.They claim this to be 720p, but I've looked at it closely in a 1280x720 window (with 1280x720 mode enabled on the camera) under bright lighting situations and it appears nearly like 640x480 blown up. In other words, it doesn't look any sharper in 720 mode as it does in 480. I have a background in video and graphics, so I know what I'm hunting at. Even the 640x480 has jagged edges, for example on the curves of my face, and so on. It seems if you have been to take the 1280x720p frames and scale them down to 640x480, the picture would appear decent. It's as if the camera or driver is compressing the video just before it gets to the screen. This most likely what's going on with other net cams.The "stand" isn't all that fantastic in true-planet use, at least for me. It feels good to bend and you feel it's cool, but not the ideal in practice. It's super-light, so it's quite easily moved if you're just placing it on your desk. This tends to make a great web cam, but don't think you'll be finding any 720p-level sharpness. It's just not there. It has modes in between 640x480 and 1280x720, but none appear any greater than 640x480.The ClearFrame technologies appears to just auto-adjust all the manual options like exposure, brightness, contrast, and so forth. It's not revolutionary or anything.It does 30FPS, but of course if it's darker in the room, the exposure is longer and you're then receiving like 10FPS with a lot of blur, just like other net cams. You can adjust items manually though and get 30FPS in the dark, you just get a darker/grainy picture.

Really Excellent video output and capabilities, a number of resolution. Operates excellent with skype Does not operate with Netmeeting or Trillian Pro, automatic colour balance oversaturates the picture.

Comment:
Really trusted - picture quality is outstanding specially on Skype. Refresh rate is really excellent. Monitor clamp is a tad flimsey but overall it performs

True HD, autofocus and not a fixed focus. excellent built in Mic. Apple OSX compatible (no drivers needed) no lens cover. short USB cable. Contrary to what other folks think, you CAN simply use an external mic with this. I do that with my Dell Vista laptop AND my Powermac tower running OSX. I like this camera so significantly I bough three of them. I use them for webcasting employing adobe visual presenter three and get amazing outcomes. the good part is if you dont use HD you can get a lossless digital zoom out of these cameras simply because they are a 5 megapixel sensor instead of a cheapish sensor found on other cameras. it does need light, but I have but to locate a web-cam that delivers a wonderful image with the lack of light most men and women try to use. You gotta have light in front of your face, you cant steer clear of that. I will be acquiring far more of them as I found they work beneath linux as nicely. Don't hesitate, acquire this camera before Microsoft discontinues them.

Ideal web cam I have ever applied, and I have burned through a lot of them. It has capabilities beyond the resolution of most of my software. Half-baked base does not hold on to a monitor. I had to glue it down to my desk to receive a steady platform. Microsoft--What had been you thinking?

This is the finest make top quality I've observed from a webcam. It also looks in contrast to any webcam I've noticed. Setup was a snap with Windows 7 Home Premium x32. Operates completely for my objective (Skype). A small on the high priced-side for a webcam, but worth it considering what you get.

Comment:
This cam is unbelievable! It's swift, uncomplicated to setup and the image and audio good quality are superb. The camera computer software isn't bloatware either. None! If your looking for a reasonably priced, entry-HD webcam then this is the one for you!

This camera is incredibly clear and the mic performs incredibly effectively. I use it mostly to maintain in touch with good friends and family members with Skype and it operates perfectly. The image is very clear even when the area isn't effectively lit. None so far. I've bought two of these currently.

Comment:
Image is quite crisp and clear. I use it to skype with my parents back property but I also strategy to use the microphone for online gaming mainly because I have my laptop hidden which blocks the microphone. 720p is great, I chose this over a camera that does 1080p mainly because this operates quicker and also mainly because my parents dont have the nicest monitor in the planet. Absolutely nothing but but I havent tested it at any fantastic length. Quite decent camera. Mounts very effectively on best of my ASUS monitor.

Great resolutionI get compliments on SKYPE conf calls concerning claritySound high quality surprisingly excellentDecent autofocusFunctions properly with Win 7 64 (in spite of the no nothings that say otherwise) Frame rates just fair. The sound is fantastic adequate that I really was in a position to use it for one of my webcasts with no one particular noticing that I was not using my typical Mic. On video calls I am acquiring unsolicited compliments of the image The sound is good adequate that I really was capable to use it for one particular of my webcasts with no 1 noticing that I was not employing my normal Mic. On video calls I am getting unsolicited compliments of the image clearity.

Tiny, high quality metal housing, auto focus, 720p, truly good monitor stand/holder thingy None that I can think of. Good clear video, operates with anything I throw at it.

Comment:
A really good camera. I purchased it on sale. If you want a camera that works properly at a affordable price, even the typical value is fair. Extremely nice resolution Absolutely nothing that stands out.

Comment:
Decent quality audio and video whilst it worked. Bought ten.two.2009 and mic is now dead. By no means dropped, kicked, abused in any way - just sat on best of my monitor. LifeCam software program is stupid. I need to just be capable to grab the darn drivers with out installing their bloated and unwanted app. Go get a Logitech. At least their hardware will perform for a lot more than a year.

Awesome excellent imageSwift installationNo challenges so far with the lightingGreat job with face recognitionFantastic WebCam for your income! Only con I can believe of is I'm getting a small lag when I skype, but I consider it's mostly just my web connection. Anything else is great! If you want a extremely great webcam for your dollars, I absolutely propose this.

Excellent top quality video.Autofocus works nicely (See other thoughts) In order to set up computer software that comes with the camera you HAVE to be connected to the world wide web (please note the microphone driver that was needed on WINXP was situated on the disk, but no software program was). The autofocus worked just fine in my area which doesn't have great lighting. The camera produced everything in my space clear. If it wasn't for the required web connection to set up the camera computer software it would be 5 stars (there is no need to have for this at all!!!!).

- Exceptional Image Excellent- Superior Noise Cancellation- Unbelievable Voice Clarity- Easy to Setup and Use - None so far Awesome camera. This point installs so easily, that if you can brush your teeth you can set up this camera. I use Win7 x64, it installed no issues and has given me troubles. This camera replaces my Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. I must say it dominates that camera in every location. Picture, Sound(Microphone, Noise Cancellation). Every little thing about it works completely. Plus I prefer how this camera mounts as opposed to my Logitech. Significantly a lot more safe and adjusts significantly a lot more easily. Logitech is just up and down. This point has 360 degrees of adjustment(up and down, as well as left correct). Hugely Advised.

relatively hassle-cost-free installationfantastic image efficiency, great sound choose-upcompact - looks great on prime of my flat-panel monitorfeels well-created the blue LED is great for warning that the unit is active, but I would nevertheless choose some sort of physical block (like a lens cover) Ordered two: one operates completely, other was defective. Two inches apart ontop of exact same monitor, connected to identical Computer, one focuses perfectly, the other is particularly blured and tries to cycle thorough its focal variety, at some point settling on a concentrate point about six inches from the lens. Requested a replacement.As with most other HD webcams, need a easy hack to enable HD mode in Skype - generally consists of adding a couple of line to the Skype config.xml or shared.xml.

Great camera. The greatest one particular i've ever utilized. I'm acquiring additional None
