Summary: Very Good Product
Review: I did some research on these types of cameras, whether to buy the camera which comes off the base or hard wired like this one, but decided on the Pro 3000 since I found that this one was one of the best of its type. Read many reviews about the problems with the software, but this seems to be common with any of these type cameras. I had a small problem loading the software but after a short while it loaded and worked fine. For its price it gives a good picture and is easy to use. I didn't get the kind tha comes off the base since there you start to worry about memory and pixals, and at that point you might as well get a decent digital camera. Hope this is helpful to all.

Summary: questionable!
Review: Just received this product and spent all night trying to install it. After being on hold for over 30 minutes (long distance)I hung up and gave up. Finally got ahold of them this morning only to spend an hour long distance with tech support going through my computer with a techie,... still does not work! My guess its not compatible with windows98. She recommended trying on another computer to see if my computer was the problem. I asked her if other people were having the same problem, she said yes. I am now on my way to return this product and either wait for them to fix their software or look for a different product.

Summary: Webcam
Review: I like the product, but the one thing that kinda bites is the fact that the camera is on a pivot from the frame and the cord, is heavy which will make positioning it difficult.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Garbage.
Review: The software does not work on windows 98 SE. I attempted emailing for support and it had been 2 weeks and no response yet. They must be overwhelmed with emails and calls about how terrible their product is. I bought this camera to send video emails and that program does not work. All in all the product is garbage go another way.

Summary: Works great with XP
Review: Drivers are availible on Logitech's website. Great camera!

Summary: Quickcam not bad, but could be better
Review: I got Quickcam Pro 3000 a few weeks ago. First, what I don't like about it:
- The stand is not very adjustable. The stiff and heavy cable tends to pull the camera out of adjustment unless the cable is carefully positioned. You can't adjust the tension of the stand. It would be nice to have the ability to disconnect the cam from its stand and attach it to a standard tripod.
- The webcam software is worthless, allowing you to only upload images to a particular webcam hosting site (spotlife.com). I recommend Webcam32 if you are going to work with your own web site.
- When installing, I had to have my OS CD (Win98 SE, in my case) on hand, probably for certain drivers. I didn't have the option to install from anything other than the Win98 CD (e.g., from a win98 directory or from the internet).

What I like about it:
- Picture quality is pretty good.
- Small.
- USB.

Be aware that you have to have a powered USB hub if you are going to plug in the cam to that hub.

All in all, a fun little cam. I'd give it 3.5 stars if Amazon would let me. ;-)

ps: Works w/Win2000, too.

Summary: Doesn't work with XP
Review: Installed the QuickCam Pro 3000, downloaded the files...which took about 2 hours. I spent about 3 hours, on the phone with Logitech Support (no 800 number I may add) and the result = zip! They were unable to help, in installing this product. The cost of the long distance phone calls and the time spent exceeds the price of the cam! WOW. A rip off of time and money!

Summary: Research shows good favor of Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000
Review: After researching for a reasonably priced webcam, the Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000 is the winner. It has an integrated microphone and handy clamp which will attach up to a 1" thick surface. This camera uses Picture Smart technology which improves the quality of pictures in different lighting situations. Easy connection via your USB port is also an advantage.

When I wrote this review the picture was not available, but after my research I found that it is a silver and grey ball mounted on an handy swivel base.

Summary: Poor Video Quality
Review: I have been using this webcam to chat with my husband while he's deployed in the military and I have to say I am not impressed with the poor video quality. He can barely see my daughter and I when we are talking to him online because it is so fuzzy looking. Plus the camera locks up constantly, regardless of our DSL connection. If I try to adjust the camera at all while using it online it freezes up as well.

One of the other reviewers was right when they said that it falls out of the stand easily, that happens with mine constantly.

We have had this camera for about a year and a half now and I am looking for a new one and sending this one to Iraq. I have made some short video clips and some still shots with it but they look pretty grainy for the most part.

Can't say I would recommend this or not, but I would definitely do my homework on this one and compare it to others before making a final decision on it. At the time of purchasing it, my husband did check around before getting this one, and was happy with it, but compared to some of the other cameras out there now I would think that there might be something better for your money.

Summary: good and bad
Review: Okay, I got this camera about a year ago, and for the most part, it works fine for me.

Good-
The quality is pretty good, considering it's a webcam.
The microphone captures sound pretty clearly.
The software is easy to use.

Bad-
Sometimes when I am running livecam, it would be good quality and brightness and then suddenly it would be dark, like it would go a few shades darker for some reason, not sure why. And then I would have to adjust the lighting.

The stand sucks, it's hard to move the camera in different positions - sometimes I had to prop it up with something like a book or something to get it the right angle.

The quality of pictures/videos seems to vary. Sometimes the quaity would be crisp, other times it would be a little blurry, I'm not sure if it's the lighting or the camera. The videos - sometimes it'll be fast and clear, other times there would be lag.

All in all, I'm satisfied with this as a webcam, but if I really want to take pictures or make videos other than just webcamming or just a few simple pics, I would get something else.
