Rating: Summary: Good Quality Camera Review: This camera creates great quality pictures and videos. It was my first and only webcam, and I've had it for over a year, and have been rather satisfied with it. It doubles as a mini camera, so you can take pictures of you immediately and send it to friends quickly and easily. The quality is incredibly good compared to other webcams. However, I have had some minor problems with the software that comes with the camera. Also, there isn't a zoom feature, so that can be a pain sometimes. Getting the correct lighting can also be a annoying, often having to toggle with the settings and the lighting for a little while for the picture to not be so dark, at least in my experience. The stands that are supplied with the camera aren't the best. Mine came with a "laptop" stand, and i find that easier to use than the traditional stand that is pictured with the camera, it moves less and is easier to get a good angle. All in all, I suggest this camera. It's fun, and very easy to use.
Rating: Summary: Great buy Review: Pro 3000 delivers all that the packaging promises . If you are the gadgety type you'll have hours of fun. The features that appeal to me from my use so far are the instant emailing which means your videos , pictures etc are compressed and ready to share within minutes. It delivers a sharper image than most webcams I've tried I'm also quite taken by the built in microphone , however I must mention that its not as great as a stand alone Mic when chatting on yahoo etc . But the sound is ok for recording a video ...which Is its primary purpose I suppose. All in all ....its fun, great quality and easy to use .
Rating: Summary: Works perfect with Windows XP Review: I was affraid it would not work with Windows XP Professional edition. I first downloaded the last software version from Logitech web site (I did not used the CD that came with the camera), then I pluged it in and it started working wonderfull.
Rating: Summary: good image, but a few annoyances... Review: The camera works well for images and even video, keeping in mind that it requires a lot of light (normal). The microphone stopped working shortly after I got it, and it might be because I plugged an external microphone into the PC. In any case, the 'built-in' mic hasn't worked since, although it was convenient at first. My main annoyance is the camera sits on a tiny pivoting ball, and it's hard to keep it in the desired position since the cord at the back weighs it down. It's actually fallen off several times.
Rating: Summary: Great picture and video capabilities Review: The pictures and video are very clear. Very easy to use. I couldn't have asked for a better Quickcam and the programs that come with it are beyond words... Everything is there, just hook it up and go...
Rating: Summary: Just a comment to the 1 Star Review Review: 256 colors is only 8 bits of color, so you weren't even setting your color settings right. No wonder it didn't work for you!
Rating: Summary: Disappointing. Review: This product, to put it bluntly,[disappointing]. I keep getting it installed but when I click on the icon to get it started it says that I need to adjust my color settings to 16 bit or higher, which its already on 256. It obvioucly doesnt acknowledge it and wont let me do anything without adjusting it, which I have countless times. I cant return it since its past the warantee date so I wish there is hope for it yet...
Rating: Summary: Cheap solution for the stand problem... Review: The Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000 is a great webcam--great picture quality, great feature package (I find the motion detector and built-in mic particularly useful). As noted in several other reviews, however, the stand that comes packaged with the Quickcam Pro 3000 leaves something to be desired. To be blunt: the stand is functionally worthless, and Logitech should know better than to pair a top-of-the-line webcam with such seriously flawed accessory equipment. If you own this cam (or any cam with a standard female screw-mount base) an excellent and inexpensive mounting option is the Ambico V-0615 Multi-Purpose Mini-Tripod. This 4.25 inch tripod fits the cam perfectly and allows free rotation and swivel, yet is also able to be locked into position. I'd recommend this as an absolute "must have" accessory to anyone purchasing this cam. With the addition of the tripod, the cam is near perfect; without the tripod, using the cam is extremely tedious at best.
Rating: Summary: Great cam Review: I just bought this camera (except my dogs chewed it up so now I have to replace it) and it is great. The only problem I see is that it is very hard to focus it on you because it is so light. The cord in the back often pulls on it but what I did is put in a new plug that plugs the camera into the stand that is alot tighter. I have no clue what so ever about what few people are saying about they could not download it to their computer they probably dont have all of the requirments because I just bought a new cpu from dell and it took me about 1 and a half minutes to install. The picture is great and if you are trying to make a picture and it comes out jacked up, it isnt the camera, you just have to focus the lens by twisting it. When I was looking at buying a cam for 40 bucks I wasnt sure about all of what the reviews said and I am "definately" glad I got this one. I even know of one site that sells the lower version of the logitech camera for 15.00 (justdeals.com) but I really doubt if it is worth it. I still do not know what the button does on the top but I dont see any use for anything extra and If you get the camera when your making a movie try not to touch the microphone or it will make a whole bunch of static. This camera was great for the money, and personally I wouldn't see the difference in getting a 100 dollar one because this is all I need.
Rating: Summary: Great one! Review: I just got the QuickCam today. I was hesitated when I bought because some of the reviews weren't that great. I bought it anyway. This is my first webcam, so it's only natural when I was afraid something would go wrong when I install it. But it turned out it was so easy to do the installation. All I had to do was put the CD in my laptop drive, and followed all the steps. I'm using Windows ME, by the way. The only problem I'm having is with the light. Sometimes it's too bright. I think I'll need more time to figure out how to adjust it. The webcam is very light, with long USB cord. I think this one worths the price.
