Summary: GOOD-LOOKING GADGET
Review: As a lifelong technophobe it's taken me a while to get used to computers and the internet but I'm getting there. This is the first webcam I've bought and after using it for a few weeks with no problems, I'm very impressed with what it can do.

Much to my relief I was able to install the Quickcam software without a hitch, and after connecting the USB cable to my pc the webcam was fully operational within minutes (I have an Intel 650MHz processor and am running MS Windows 98 SE). The picture quality is excellent compared to other webcams I've seen and taking photos and recording video clips couldn't be simpler. Once you've created them, you can edit and enhance your images using PhotoSuite III SE or VideoWave III SE, and sending the results by email is also remarkably easy.

The QuickCam Pro 3000 has a built-in mic, which is especially useful for video conferencing over the web. Here the performance quality can vary greatly, but this is to some extent inevitable regardless of which webcam you use. Yahoo Messenger is bundled in with the software and installs automatically whether you like it or not, which wasn't a problem for me, but if you're already using another package you might find this a bit irritating. I tried using the webcam with MSN Messenger/Netmeeting and it worked just as well.

One possible drawback is the fact that the Quickcam software will only allow you to broadcast video and audio over the web via a third party host site (Spotlife.com). So if you're buying a webcam with a view to doing this via your own website, you'd be better off getting one which includes this functionality by default.

But I'm personally very happy with the Quickcam Pro 3000 (call me shallow, but it also looks pretty cool) and it was definitely money well spent.

Summary: decent but could be better
Review: This camera has everything you could need in a webcam. Works with XP home edition set-up went well, haven't had any compatability problems but the stand on the camera to say the least it [stinks]. It broke off because i pushed it back on and broke off. It would fall off the stand even when i wasn't there. It has no bonding and mechanical fastening to the base. but all the features are very good i give it 3 stars.

Summary: Awesome cam, but....
Review: Ok. I would have to say I was getting a pretty good vibe from everyone on this cam and their good remarks on it, trying to take into account of what the bad comments were. So I went out and got this cam. Very nice features on the software that comes with it. Motion sensor capability for when you're not home to keep an eye on the joint or to watch what's going on anywhere.

I just rounded up my stars for that point. now the reason I would have given it a 3.5 or even a 3 is this one point : Odd Windows2000 reaction. After I installed the camera, Windows2000 Pro just WOULD NOT START. I mean, not even get to the screen showing the Win2k start up and the status bar going across... NOTHING. So I unplug the sucker and reboot. Started up fine, finished installing some software that came with the Cam. I plug it back in and it runs. So that's the only down point, if I wanna reboot, I have to unplug the camera on my system. I don't know how it'll react to Win98/ME/XP, but if it does the same there as it did to me, try what I did. If it works fine, kudos! You picked a good cam! Odd that the 640x480 capturing doesn't show up in a 640x480 window in the Logitech software. But I'm sure I haven't played around enough with it all to get that to show up.

Summary: Great all around Camera
Review: This is a great little webcam for the cost. I can take videos, e-mail videos, time lapse videos and still shots. You can also cut portions of your videos out and save separately to send a smaller file of something you really enjoyed recording. I recorded my 18 month old son eating his dinner on timelapse and sent it to some family and friends and they absolutely loved it.

It's fun and takes pretty darned good still shots. It takes nice images to post in on-line auction sites as well, if you're selling something and don't have a digital camera. Nice little built in microphone that came in really handy for me since I didn't have one on my computer.

It's hearty, durable and fun!

Summary: Doesn't work, waste of money
Review: The Software (both released and updated off the web site) wouldn't install on Windows 2000. The tech support is by email, and is miserable (2-day response time). Followed the directions given me by tech support, and broke Windows so badly had to reinstall a "clean" copy (which trashed all my other programs, which then had to be reinstalled). Two days wasted fixing my machine.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great webcam
Review: I have had this product for a little while and would say it is the best webcam I have used. It has a built in mic, which is great, the picture quality is great, the software is easy to use (once you download the update), the security cam feature is great, I just love this webcam.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Have to adjust the colors constantly
Review: I have had problems with the auto color adjustment. The gain is always too dark or too bright. I have to set it manually to get the colors right, otherwise, the colors are too intense and not right.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: don't buy this camera
Review: i shopped around online for a couple of weeks before i decided to buy the quickcam pro 3000. i was debateing on buying an intel because it was cheaper but decided to go with this because of the built in microphone, and i thought that maybe because it was a little more expensive it was a better camera. my computer freezes all the time now. in fact, my computer, which never before froze, froze 3 times while trying to instal the thing. someone told me there could be a driver conflict, but even when i went to the website and got a different instalation, it still freezes my computer when i use it 75% of the time. i have a very fast computer with a very fast connection but it goes so incredibly slow when trying to stream (live, contiuous video) - and this is to other people with fast computers and connections. when the camera is not sending footage, it shows excellent footage on my screen, virtually no problems in continous action. i can't figure out how to make it have better coloring. this drives me crazy. all of the pictures and footage are non-vibrant and bland. i have tried different lightings to no avail. i can't seem to use it with netmeeting either. don't buy this camera.
