Summary: easy to install, not a perfectly clear image though
Review: this camera is incredibly easy to install, it really is just plug and play. you'll need to have video conf software like netmeeting or cuseeme - the included software isn't worth installing, and the drivers on win98 cd are fine. won't work with windows NT unless you've installed a usb hub and drivers especially for NT4. win2000 seems to function ok with it. rotating focus wheel is cumbersome if you're trying to focus the camera and aren't standing right next to it. get the latest drivers from logitech (3com) online. the image is not crystal clear, so don't expect the same quality as you get from a digital camera, but if you are looking for cost, your friends will be able to see you just fine with this one. the mounting stand is a little wierd, and the camera cable makes it shift back and forth. i had to tie down the cable so i could position the camera and it wouldn't move. it's not worth investing in a stand for this one because of the picture quality.

Summary: More than worth the price
Review: The Logitech Quickcam is a more than adequate digital camera. It's a USB device and can be set up in minutes with the very good software than accompanies it. I use it with Microsoft NetMeeting quite a bit and it's very good. Beware though, you will need to be in a very well lit room to get the best pictures - a slightly dark room will lead to what some people call "digitalized" or "pixilized" images. If you have this problem, you may need to keep an extra lamp beside your PC. With NetMeeting the picture size is only about 2" by 2" square. By right-clicking on the picture you can double the picture size, but quality really does suffer quite a bit at that size. The USB cable is a little short, but that's more likely a to be problem with the limitations of USB technology as opposed to bad planning by Logitech. The stand is not very stable either so when you get it steady you really have to avoid moving it at all. Overall the camera really needs to be judged on the picture quality for the price you pay, and on that score the Quickcam passes with flying colours. Easy to set up, easy to use - a bargain.

Summary: Decent
Review: I bought this because it was in my price range. The quality isn't great, but it does what I need it to do.If you need a still or video PC camera for school, don't get this one. Spend the extra money and get a really nice one. If you just need a PC camera for instant messageing and sharing photos, this is a good camera.

Summary: image is poor. really difficult to mount.
Review: it came with dsl service for free. it was laying around floor for 1 year and I decided to plug in my XP laptop to use it with yahoo messenger service. pro:
installed without CD or driver disk on XP. just plug in and it was ready. con:
image is poor. (you can improve picture quality by manualy adjust settings. increase contrast and hue. lowering gamma and color level, and etc...) it [is] still [poor] compared to just about any other video source I've seen. my biggest complaint: thick heavy cable causes camera to rotate and it's really difficult to set it at the direction it should be facing. why quickcam has been insisting on this unfunctional rubber base design for years, I have no idea. 'eye ball on top of pyramid' design looks cool. but it's stubborn one that looks away on it's own will.

Summary: GRAINY!
Review: This was the worst camera! The installation was easy, but most are. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS [bad]! PLEASE dont waste your money on this, I am going to try the 4000 model tomorrow, so I will come back and give a review on that as well. I'm hoping the CCD on the 4000 will improve the quality.

Summary: C'mon people it's a WEBCAM
Review: I chose the logitech because it was a brand I had heard of and had decent specs for under 30 bucks. I'm using it so that someone can help me install something and see what I'm doing. It has about the resolution of a modern camera phone. I see some people complain about grainyness. However, you must realize that there is a trade-off with crystal clarity from a webcam and that's that unless you both are on T1 lines you're going to have to SEND all of that clarity and then you'd have severely lagging displays. Be sure the subject is well lit by more of full spectrum lighting (a really yellow lamp looks gross). Unless you're starting a naughty business and if you're just looking for a webcam so that you can chat to friends and go "this is neat" without any severe stipulations on what your demands will be it's just fine. The price is good, the design solid. Suits the average person's needs (webcam thrill will fade and you'll stop using it most likely). If you're going to need to see a loved one stationed overseas or for business use you should probably invest actual money into a quality cam. The stills are lame, get a digicam if you want super clear pics. If you're looking to save dough and enjoy the amusement of a webcam, the logitech quickcam express is a solid model that will perform reliably and clearly enough.

Summary: PC only
Review: This camera does not have software for the Mac. Thus I must rate it at the bottom.

Summary: eh, not so great
Review: I bought this quickcam about a year ago when the price was [less](eek!). Easy to use, but the picture quality was just horrible. Very grainy.

Summary: Best for the price and quality...
Review: I bought my quickcam express 2 months ago, I use it everyday to chat with my family on the other side of the world(approx 3000 miles away)and this is the very best thing I have done to bring us all closer. About the picture quality I read in other reviews acctually it depends on the processor you'r using it on. When I use it on my LapTop which is pantium 3 with 160 mhz ram and all loaded with advance tech options, this camera works there like I am looking in the mirror with extreamly clear image resolution and when I use it at my home PC which has only 16 mhz ram and limited options it has just very acceptable/not good enough resolution, so for a good processor it is a best Web Cam you can buy at this price.

Summary: very nice for the price
Review: Because we had a limit on money, I went for this cheap camera. I'm suprised it worked so well! IT has some really cool games using the camera that come with it. Installation was a little harder than they say and there are still more things you must download for the Video IM's. It is a little complicated to send video emails. The graphics could be better. But for what it comes with, it is a very good value!
