Summary: 3 star average rating completely unfair
Review: The video and picture quality on this webcam is just plain excellent compared to many of its alternatives. The installation was no difficulty on my machine, which operates under Windows 2000 Pro. The USB connectivity makes things simple, and installation software is straightforward. If you are looking for webcams, consider spending the money on this one, because it is definitely worth the price. I recommend, however, that you have at least one completely free motherboard native USB port, if you want the bandwidth required to capture video with sound; this is an issue that affects all webcams with USB connectivity.

Summary: It looked good but the sound was far from perfect
Review: I got this product about two weeks ago, and was able to load it with no problem. The picture was crisp and the amount of light required was less than the previous 'Cam owned. I believed that there was no difficulty with this purchase. However, the next day I discovered that the Sound Card on my system, a TurtleBeach from Santa Cruz, did not work well; in fact it produced NO SOUND at all. I was no longer able to hear all the amusing banter found in EA Sports NHL 2002. Beacause this product was already OPENED and USED (the two provisions of the Return Policy), I gave the Logitech 3000 Pro to my brother.
I am running a Dell Dimension 4100 with a 1 GHz Pentium III processor.

Summary: Good design but didn't work
Review: could not get it working with my dell computer system 550mgz. called there support and they could not get it working also. returned it for a refund and bought a ibm pc cam, loaded it up on computer and it works fine.

Summary: Nice but.
Review: Three (3) problems: (1) there's no way of stablizing the cam on its base - movement of the cable causes the cam to swivel. (2) Can not get the built in microphone to work with NetMeeting, and (3) it stops working in the middle of a session under Windows XP Professional. Problems could partially be due to OS (Operating System) and potential system conflicts.

Summary: Solid Performer for Most Applications
Review: The Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000 delivers most of what it promises. It is an easy-to-use solution for video conferencing. It provides the ability to create, edit and send digital video and stills. And--strictly speaking--it does provide for webcams and the broadcast of streaming video. The camera supports true 640x480 resolution at up to 30fps (actual performance will depend on the speed of the computer) and features a built-in microphone. The camera and microphone both perform well. Bundled with the QuickCam Pro 3000 are versions of two MGI software packages: PhotoSuite III SE and VideoWave III SE. These are simple and effective programs for editing still images and video clips, respectively. Overall, the software provided in the bundle is quite good. However, a couple of things detract from the package. First, while the installation is normally quite simple, support for problem installations can be difficult to obtain. Also, the setup utility installs several third-pary applications and utilities without an option to opt-out. More troubling is the fact that the QuickCam software purposely and explicitly will not support webcams or video broadcast to any site other than Spotlife, a commercial third-party provider (although previous versions of the QuickCam software did support this). So, if you buy the QuickCam Pro 3000 with an eye towards cheaply and easily implementing a web cam on your existing site, you're in for a disappointment. To do this, you have three choices: take a spin with freeware, pay for a third-party webcam software package, or opt for a different camera solution that includes this functionality. Finally, the USB cable attached to the camera gets a big plus for being nice and long (better than 8 feet), but the heavy weight of the cable, combined with the loose swivel joint on the camera, make it difficult to keep the camera pointed "just so." I've resorted to tape to keep the camera pointed where I want it. If your main goal is to set up a webcam on your web site, you may want to look further. But for other applications, the QuickCam Pro 3000 is good performer and a decent value. -- Scott Loban

Summary: Disappointing! Never got it to work
Review: We spent 18 hours on Christmas Day trying to set up the camera. My husband & I are pretty technical, but could not get this camera to work on our Windows 98 system.
Our system locked up and would not boot up while the camera was plugged in.
Also - we primarily wanted to use this for video chats. Other reviews indicate that the software does not support this function. Technical support (Not toll-free) was busy. We're sending it back.

Summary: Fun toy
Review: It works fine with Windows ME. Installation was a snap. Be sure to look at the minimum requirements if you have an older computer. I have not added any of the extra software yet. You can use with Yahoo Messenger (free) and see other people on your buddy list or be seen, if you wish. In addition to video, you can also use the audio on Yahoo, but I found the quality lacking. You can also subscribe to spotlife and be seen in real time - the first 30 days are free. I found it easier to set up next to my computer positioned on a round CD-R pack, (perfect height) than on top of the monitor.

Summary: Forget It!!!
Review: Purchased camera and was excited about those who have succesfully installed and used. I spent 5 1/2 hours trying to install and I consider myself tech savvy. I Went through all tech support and still nothing. It is going back to the store. I was using Windows ME and have never had any trouble with ME. The Biggest problem I had was the step during installation where it detects the camera. Never Happened! Keeps locking and giving me a solid blue screen after restart.

Summary: Fun to use... when it works.
Review: The Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000 is simple to use as well as versatile. The camera can be set on a flat surface with its curved, removable shoe attachment. It can also be affixed to the top of a notebook PC utilizing an included adjustable mini tripod that resembles an elongated claw. Once configured the USB cam is easily focused by adjusting the concentric collar of the lense. I found Logitech's software a bit troublesome however. At first I wasn't able to install the camera on my laptop using the version of Quick Cam that came with my Pro 3000 and had to download a newer version from Logitech's website in order to get the unit up and running. It worked fine until I recently upgraded to the newest version of the software from their website. Now I face the same problem: the camera just won't work. Even worse, the older version of the software is no longer available on the websight. I am now "cam-less".
