Rating: Summary: Not the Bang for Your Buck Review: I Was Extremely Dissappointed with the Logitech QuickCam Pro. The Software I recieved was FULL of bugs, the Camera's Frame Rate was All But Good, and Even After Downloading an Update, the Small "Christmas Tree"-like Colored Dots Still Appeared in the Image. I Think that if You Are Willing to Spend the Money for this Camera that You Should Consider Getting a Different One.

Rating: Summary: Good Quality at a slightly High Price Review: I've been using this device as a webcam for my personal web site for about three months now. The QuickCAM Pro is a very reliable little camera, overall.The design is solid. If you can get past the aesthetic issues of staring at a little plastic eyeball, it serves its purpose well. The clip on the bottom is sturdy and useful. I wish that the camera could actually rotate from side to side also, enabling users to use the clip in a sideways position as well. The camera captures pictures with crisp color in moderate to good light. It does not perform exceptionally well in low-light. Objects at a distance greater than 2' or so from the camera are difficult to focus. The driver-based controls for lighting and gamma correction are very useful on the Logitech Quickcam. I have found that the white balance occasionally is off after a light change and must be manually reset in the software. The weakest point of this entire product is the software that is packaged with it. I found that Logitech's webcam capturing software would routinely overwrite the destination web page with a generic Logitech-based page. It does not provide any real methods for capturing and FTP'ing a single image. Overall, this is a good first camera. If you purchase it, consider installing the software just for the drivers, not for actually operating the camera. Then go find some third party webcam software such as Webcam 32, KABCam or Chill Cam and use that for your actual web page updates.
Rating: Summary: Know exactly which model you are getting Review: The Logitech QuickCam Pro comes in a few differing models, but I use the USB version with the DARK focus ring. (Do not be confused with the similar looking camera with the light beige ring) and it works fine. Software version 5.3 is the best for range of set up options including using you own web site for visuals.(Some of the other versions 5.0 amd 5.4 do not seem to allow your own site set up but only to a pre-set Spotlife website) Pictures are good but camera cannot tolerate bright sunlight exposure into lens as it damages the camera over time. This model has been replaced by the 3000 model.

Rating: Summary: Easy to Install, Easy to Use, Great Webcam for Beginners! Review: The Logitech Quickcam Pro is extremely easy to install taking minutes to get the cam up and running! The picture quality is not fantastic but just make sure it's running in medium 340x to achieve a decent frame rate in videoconferencing and you will be fine. Also be sure to adjust the contrast in low level situations and you can focus by turning the camera lens on the "eyeball". Software is fantastic and lets you even edit your own videos. This webcam is very good for beginners, mailing out video e-mails, live video calls and talking to friends thousands of miles away. Again the quality will depend on your computer, your connection etc but it is very good for the price ... .
Rating: Summary: The best camera there is Review: This is just the best cam you can get, perhaps it does cost a bit more than others but the quality you get is the best there is. The usb connection is also very easy to set up.
Rating: Summary: It's great for the price! Review: This little video cam is great! For the price and size it takes great still photo's as well as video. Just remember that E-mail video is lesser quality than what you see. The bundled software could be better. But I didn't buy it for the software!
