Rating: Summary: Great Little Cam! Review: This is my second web cam by Logitech. The first was the Logitech Zoom, which was a piece of junk. After hours of frustration, grainy picture, and sparadic connection, I took it back.
The Pro 4000 is a dream! I paid 100.00 dollars for it and don't regret it at all! The picture is great, very clear, and there is little delay, so I don't look like something from an old 40's movie or under a strobe light. The microphone is good for videos, I haven't tried it with Yahoo Messenger yet.
Everyone has been so impressed with it, saying how clear my picture is. No more falling out of bed without raking a brush through my hair,or washing my face, and logging on! This camera is far too clear for that! I have had great fun with this cam, making videos, sending to friends and enhancing chats with family and friends out of state. I love it. I gave 4 stars only because the instructions aren't very good and you kind of have to play around with it to figure things out, but even that is not difficult. I really recommmend this cam. I don't know why some folks have had any problems with this cam, but I understand thier frustration because I went through that with the Logitech Zoom. BUY THIS CAM AND BE UP AND GOING IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES....
Rating: Summary: Bad choice for computers over 12 months old Review: I bought this camera for my P4 HP laptop (xz295). It crashed the computer 6 times and froze the video after 2 seconds. I am returning it now. Check the logitech.com user forum before buying this camera to make sure your computer will work with it. I have heard good and bad...my story was terrible...
Rating: Summary: Best low-cost webcam (still) Review: The QuickCam Pro 4000 debuted on Amazon on Aug. 2, 2002. So one word to describe it is "mature" ... which is a nice way of saying a bit long in the tooth by anyone's technology standard. You could also say it has stood the test of time, is stable, whatever. Hey, if it wasn't getting the job done it wouldn't (still) be racking up sales and revenue for Logitech and Amazon, would it? It's the Energizer Bunny of webcams!
After nearly two years of use, two words to describe me are "satisfied owner."
A picture is worth 1K words and it's nice to have a face to go with a web chat or business presentation. I like the way it works with Yahoo! Messenger and WebEx, and the grandparents on the East Coast certainly enjoy getting a look at their West Coast progeny once in a while.
Setup on XP Pro was easy enough, although I did download the latest drivers online prior to install (always a good idea). The resolution via USB 1.0 is decent, the zoom and face-tracking features nice to have, although the light-sensor benefits from a little manual intervention depending on the time of day and how close you sit to a window.
My biggest gripe is the lack of bundled software that allows you to schedule a webcam snapshot, save it as a JPEG image and ftp it to your web page ... something that was included in earlier models. This is one of the main reasons folks purchase a webcam in the first place ... still, it's easy enough to find a shareware program out there to do the job if you look around a little.
The bottom line is the QuickCam Pro 4000 is a good value. If you want something better, be prepared to pay for it. But at under $100 it has very few -- if any -- rivals.
Rating: Summary: My First Webcam Review: My Computer's Specs just in case: 2.5 GHZ Celeron, Home XP SP2, Radeon 9200 Graphics Card, 512MB, DSL.
I've gotten this cam for a few days now. I'm giving this a 5 stars not because its perfect but because its good enough for me and for the price and asking too much is asking for trouble. Bought it for $70 dollar total including shipping. My first webcam and I've got to say, it is a very decent webcam. The picture was very nice, clear, and quite smooth, the still picture is a little bit blurry but still pretty nice considering this is a webcam and not a digital camera. When showing other people my webcam, especially on instant messengers, it was very smooth and clear, so if you have pimples etc, if the lighting is right you can see it all. The lighting adaptor is fantastic. I can turn off all my lights and just have my computer on and the cam will actually adapt to the darker surrounding. However, the picture will become a little scratchy so light means better pictures, just not too much light cause the cam doesn't require much.
The function is quite easy. So far I've heard people complain about the software, the base, this and that. So far I have no problem at all. The base is standing solid on my table and I moved the movable pieces and so far nothing has fallen off or anything. I mean if you don't abuse and/or misuse it, than I don't see why you would have that problem. The software, after using it to install the program needed for the cam, I haven't even touched it cause the reviews here made me paranoid. I just put almost everything on auto so the camera can adjust to the surrounding, but you can definately experiment with the webcam's adjustments to see what best fits you.
Before installing it, I was extra careful so I cleaned up the computer by scanning it completely for spywares, adwares, virusus, useless junks or whatever and doing a defrag. I mean if you have problems with the cam, maybe its not just the cams fault, but your own.
I would definately say, if you want a nice cam for your money, than this is it. I'm not overwhelmingly impressed, but definately by far not disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Excellent video but lots of echo from audio Review: The camera installs very easily on XP with SP2 and latest patches -- very straight forward. Video is excellent and automatically adjusts well to lighting conditions. However, the mic is so sensitive that it picks up alot of echo if you are not using a headset. The sound from the person you are video conferencing with comes out your speakers gets fed back into mic causing an echo). If they could provide audio echo cancellation in the QuickCam, I'd give it 5 stars and use MSN video conferencing much more. For those having trouble installing this camera, the problem is on your end. Update your software!!
Rating: Summary: Logitech quick cam pro 4000 " Sucks" Review:
I've reinstalled this web cam for almost six times since whenever i restart my computer and i plug in the USB for the web cam i get a message that a file "vfwwdm32.dll" is needed for this cam to work properly. I even downloaded another new version of an installation software for this camera; however, it did not work. This web cam sucks. Eventually, i called the customer support to seek the help of a technician to solve this problem. Interestingly enough, i have been waiting on the line for almost an hour every time i call without no response. My experience reagrding using this product was basically awful. So, if you're looking for a web cam ; you better look for another product that is worth your money and time.
N.B: if anybody has experienced the same problem and succedeed in getting this web cam work, please let me know how you did that by emailing me at desertrose139@hotmail.com . Thank you for taking the time to read this review.
Rating: Summary: Logitech quick Cam pro 4000 Review: This is an excellent piece of equipment that is quick and easy to install. The quality of both video and sound is excellent, and with the flexible stand it is clipped at the top of my screen on my laptop.
Great engineering and worth your money!
