Summary: Not Worth It
Review: I thought it was just me when I plugged in my camera and it wasn't very good. Then I read the reviews and saw that the camera stinks in general. Picture quality is grainy and reddish no matter how I adjust the settings. It works no better than my webcam from 3 yrs ago, which only goes up to 320 x 240 resolution.

Summary: This thing is terrible
Review: I was searching for a new webcam as the one I currently have (a Xirlink IBM PC Camera Pro) is fine, but I wanted to add another on a second computer. First I tried the MicroInnovations PC350 cam, which had pretty poor image quality (especially in lowlight), so then I returned it for this Logitech Quick Cam Express. This Logitech was worse than the MicroInnovations! How's that for "brand name quality"? I was so disgusted with the poor quality of this camera's picture that I was shocked it was even being sold. It's picture looks like trying to tune into a TV station from Antarctica using the antenna from an old 70s color TV. Totally unacceptable by ANY standards, especially considering my three year old camera (which can now be purchased for LESS than this brand-new Logitech) completely surpasses this offering in every way. Isn't this stuff supposed to be getting better and cheaper all the time???

Summary: Junk, complete and utter junk
Review: Ive been using Quickcams for several years.. recently i was forced to replace my QuickCam VC because logitech cant figure out how to write a Win2000 driver for it. So i figured id get the QuickCam at the same price point that the VC was when I bought it. What a mistake.. the Express cam is junk.. total junk. The old VC cam had a crystal clear image. The Express' image is grainy, discolored, and unfocusable. Do not buy this cam. Its a complete waste of money. Im very surprised that Logitech even sells this thing as they have a reputation for quality products. Obviously they are going down hill.

Summary: Horrible
Review: Ive used several webcams. This one is horrible. Picture is grainy. Streaming is *really* jerky. Software is poor. You set the white balance to automatic and everything is blue. You switch to manual and everything is orange. Do not by this model!

Summary: Logitech can do better than this...
Review: Normally something Logitech rules the house! I spent about $... with a $... rebate on 2 of these...about $.../camera. I expected to get decent quality out of them. I have seen the x-10 cameras that have pretty good quality for under $20.

Needless to say, Logitech has disappointed this time...a first! The pictures are really grainy at 320 and not so bad at 640. The camera is easy to setup.

I recommend downloading the install from their website. If you use the CD, it is a few revisions behind AND throws a lot of unneeded stuff on your system, such as Real Player and Yahoo IM. If I want them, I will download them. However, I also understand marketing and profit margins.

I may try the other Logitech cams or search for good reviews on other products.

Summary: Eventhough it's Logitech, not recommended. Picture is dark.
Review: The picture is terrible as it can't capture much light, hence the picture is very dark. I used to trust reputation of Logitech, but I have been fooled by this product, it seems to be the worst Logitech product ever.
Suggestion about this product:
- If you have bought it and cannot be exchanged/trade-in, add 1 more desktop lamp to highlight you, adjust the brightness and contrast setting may be a little bit help.
- If you haven't bought it, just add few more bucks, I recommend you to buy Creative webcam NX for excellent picture quality.

Summary: Worthless
Review: The picture quality is dreadful. Impossible to adjust. If you buy it, be sure to save your receipt because you'll quickly return it for a refund.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: OK but too expensive for what it is
Review: The picture quality is horrible. It's all fuzzy and needs a hella lot of lighting. I have to turn on 2 lights to get an average video. Not good for a first buy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worthless
Review: The quality of the video is't good at all. I get it at a good price, but with that resolution of video I understand why..
Get a better model or try other options.
