Summary: Pay less Great camera
Review: I just got this camera today and It is Awesome.. I have no trouble at all to install it. The software is so cool and the most greatest thing about this webcam is the auto adjustment light. I tried to swith off my light and it still works well altough the only light it can get is through my monitor light but still the camera can adjust the color.. and when I switch on my light the camera makes its auto adjustment again..

I can say that this camera is not too expensive if we compare to others. The only reason I give this webcam 4 stars is because it has some problems with the msn messenger. For some reason I can't get it on.. and the stand of this cam. I think Logitech should make a stronger stand. Besides from those reason, I recommend you guys to buy this camera if you don't want to pay too much money and get a great webcam.

Summary: From Good to Great!
Review: I used the original QuickCam Express when it came out years ago. I was familiar with the way this camera works.

All built on the primitive technology, Logitech has made a great product upgrade.

The mulit-dimensional-all-purpose uses that this product offers is well worth the 100 dollar price tag.

This is by far the best Consumer PC-Cam. (although it is also the highest priced).

I think its best attribute is the picture quality and the ability to manage the size of output. You can change the resolution to match your needs... Lower resolutions for faster downloads (and smaller file sizes) and higher resolutions for long lasting memorious occaisions.

It boasts some really cool features such as "sensory start up" which makes the camera start video taping (per say) when it sees something move in front of it... Great to spy on people, roomates, dogs, cats! See what everybody is doing when you're away... (you can also set the sensitivity of the built-in sensor: that is to say, it will only start video taping when a certain amount of movement occurs... It will also stop taping when movement ceases.)

The quality is so good considering that this is a 100 dollar pc-camera. I have a 400 dollar Sharp Handheld Video Camera and the quality of both are too close to tell.

Overall this is a really fun tool, and logitech's software is helpful, and easy to use rather than a burden on the user like most other pieces of software!

Summary: The 4000, sans zoom.
Review: I bought the 4000 only because it offered a zoom feature not available on the earlier 3000, and because there was little or no price difference. My expectation for the webcam was to have a camera that would be a bit better than the MCI Videophones I bought a decade ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's a *lot* better, thanks to better resolution (640 x 480), faster frame-rate (30 FPS)and of course more robust broadband connections. Set-up was very simple: I installed the Logitech software (running WinXP-home), rebooted the computer and then plugged the camera into the USB hub as per the onscreen instructions that followed the reboot.
In 2 minutes, I was up and running. The taskbar icon allows you to make any adjustments you want to the image settings and a somewhat imprecise rubber ring around the lens allows you to adjust the focus if necessary (it wasn't necessary). A very nice extra is the built in microphone, which is automatically set up during install and which does not require a separate mic jack (it uses the same USB connection as the video does). About the only complaint I have is the stand for the camera; it does not really lock the camera in very securely and therefore makes touching the camera (for example, to rotate the focus ring) a tricky, two-handed operation.

Summary: Great Web Cam - Good Quality - Easy Instillation
Review: This is a great web cam, I highly recomend it.

Why did I give it 4 stars? Because there is one thing I dont like about it. Adjusting it. It is very hard because the cam head is so light, that the USB cord pulls it in different directions so you can't get a fixed easily. Just takes a little more effort :)

Software is great. I dont really need it though becuase I use MSN Messenger and use Net Meeting which works great.

I like how this is compatible with both Windows 98 and 2000. XP also.

One more thing....I was reading reviews about people saying in poor lighting its terrible. Actually, its not. It still works great, they are just sm0kin the ganja. :)

Summary: Pretty good web cam
Review: I bought htis web cam about a month ago and use it for chatting online and also the occasional snapshot.

pros
====
- The picture quality is good in various light conditions, inlcuding low light. I do occasionally have to adjust the light in the room if there is a light directly behind or in front of the cam, but I just turn off 1 light and turn on another in a different spot in the room.
- It takes pretty good snapshots. Great if you want to take a picture of something and put it on the web (great for ebay).
- The software that comes with it is very easy to use, and useful. You can organize pictures in albums, make edits and notes on pics, can create short videos. and they make it very easy to attach them to an email. The cam settings are also very easy to adjust.
- Installed the first time right. Took 5 minutes from opening the box to chatting on yahoo via web cam
- Web cam also has a built in mic, but I havent used this feature yet.

Cons (most of these are minor annoyances)
====
- The usb cable on the cam is heavy and pulls down the back of the cam. so any time you move the cam, the cam angle will change. all thy need to do to fix this is make the ball joint on the base a little stiffer.
- I use the cam with my laptop and the attachment to clip onto a laptop is pretty useless if you have your laptop on your lap. Any movement of your laptop cause the cam to change angles (due to the heavy cable).

Overall, I'd recommend the camera to anyone who is looking for a web cam with good video quality. I havent tried others, but all the reviews i read say dont waste your time due to poor video quality in anything but optimum light. The extra 20-30 bucks is worth it.

Summary: Great cam!!!
Review: Breezed thru the installation. Not a single issue. Good installation manual too. Not an experet in the area of photography but i would still say the quality of the pictures look great. Microphone is fantastic.
One negative is about the positioning of the camera and swivel feature. Not very stable and the USB cable weight pulls it around. Good be quite annoying.

A great buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You got the right one
Review: Frist,let me say installation was quick and simple. The features are truly outstanding. If there is a better PC cam let me know.
I am truly impressed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a good product with small shortcomings
Review: I just got one QuickCam last week, I found it's a good product except some small shortcomings. Because I used it with a laptop, I cannot put it on the top of the monitor as a desktop. The position of the lens is not easy to fix, so I have to put a book behind it to fix the position.
The built-in Microphone is good enough to chat. The quality of the video is also good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A decent entrant into the web cam market
Review: I've been toying with this camera for a bit now and have found it to be a good camera, not great. The image quality is very good, and the software allows you to adjust to the type of light around you. The camera has a nice design, with sleek curving lines and a camera lens cover for additional privacy. A major disappointment for me was, at least for the one I received, the part connecting the camera to the base was not tight, with the result that the camera had a tendency to tilt backwards, pulled back by the weight of the USB cable. After some jury rigging, though, this problem was solved.

The bundled software is very good to get you going. However, I would have liked more software options or instructions in setting up the camera for web broadcasting. I was looking to experiment with doing some broadcasts, and the accompanying software, while useful and providing some trial time through SpotLife.com, I found it maddening for a while that I couldn't connect to other services. It was only after doing more research outside of the cam that I found more of what I was looking for.

Still, considering the quality, and the design, it's a solid value.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Bad Quality Camera!
Review: The only thing worth the money form this camera are the programs bundled with it and the feature to animate things frame by frame, other than that theres not much else, the microphone recieves sound very well but the cameras quality is terrible for the price, not at all very clear there will always be fuzz, the platform is on isn't that great either, at first when you buy it the camera can be adjusted very well and stays in place but after a while it will be a disaster, there are much better cameras out there than this one, it's not about the programs remember you buy this for the camera, if I would have known how the quality would be I would'nt have got it, it's not the worst but just not worth the price. You'd literally have to be blind out of your head to say this is a "good quality camera" as so many reviewers have said, I mean please you can't be that ignorant to notice the quality, it's fun, but still doesn't measure up the the terrible quality, I've seen better for half the price, and when trying to take very large pictures the quality is even worse, please take my advice and stay away from this.
