Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This has been an excellent addition to a laptop or notebook computer (we tested it on a couple of them just to make sure there was consistency; there was).
It was VERY EASY to set up and I consider myself somewhat "challenged" when it comes to these things. But from start to finish, using the CD that came with the QuickCam, it was a very logical and intuitive process. Simple steps, quick installation. Major plus there!
Not only that but the options for video and still pictures are excellent, as is the AUDIO - the audio on the Opticam even has a higher volume than my laptop settings and I am trying to figure out how to use it for a supplementary speaker. Is that possible? I'll have to see.
Now that a popular auction site offers video options, I may use this for some of those auctions and it would be a snap to use on other sites. The stand that comes with the Opticam makes shooting at face level very easy and you can see yourself on screen so you can adjust your pose to fit the screen. Saving videos or still photos to a library is simple too.
The camera can be removed from the optional stand and set in the middle of the computer screen if you wish.
One caveat: Although there is an autofocus feature, you will get out of focus if you get too close to the camera but you can QUICKLY see this on screen and correct it. I am thoroughly thrilled with with little, very PORTABLE Quickcam Pro!
My 15 year old was thrilled with this as well and it was all I could barely get him to stop taking videos, experimenting with various features that can be added to videos such as special effects and more. So it has the Seal of Approval from him as well.
Customer Review: My Second-ever Webcam . . .This One is Fun!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Before I got the Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks, my only experience with webcam occurred years ago. Then, the quality of the video was dreadful with bad lighting, weak colors, and pixilated images. Adding to my displeasure was a big, clunky webcam that took up unnecessary desk space - and I retired from webcams almost as soon as I used one.
Now I've changed my mind. This tiny camera (just a wee bit larger than a matchbox) produces images I can be proud of, sharp and colorful, correctly lit even with back lighting. Its close-ups are free of major distortion. The Carl Zeiss Company, long admired by serious photographers, makes this webcam's lens. The quality shows.
If there's a flaw in this webcam, it's the audio . . . acceptable but not stellar like the images. The range seems limited, cutting off extreme ends of the audible spectrum. However, because this may be due in part or whole to the quality of the sound card on my notebook, and because I am not an audio expert, I am unwilling to mark down the webcam.
The QuickCam Pro is good enough to produce serious business video applications or to use for casual conversations. I have not tested it on Skype because I do not use Skype.
Suggestions for future versions:
1. Include a longer cord on the camera so I can use it further away from my notebook.
2. Create an entirely portable version, powered by batteries, that I can take anywhere without attaching it to my notebook at all.
Overall, a great little webcam that's loads of fun. Five stars!

Given that the pace of technology is rapidly out-stripping itself, it is getting harder and harder to stay caught up, let alone understand and competently (and completely) use the technology you may have.
This little cam is an excellent solution: a classy item that does most of the hard work for you. The picture is always crisp and self-correcting, the image adjusts to pretty much any lighting conditions, and there's even a user-friendly control panel that lets fussier owners manipulate virtually every aspect of the device. As far as pure mechanics go, the Logitech QuickCam is pretty much everything you could hope for or want, short of a lens that automatically removes blemishes and fixes your hair for you.
Actually, this cam isn't far off from that, either. The programming includes a whole host of avatars, facial additions, fun filters, and video masks that, while mostly goofy, are also endlessly amusing. With one-button recording capabilities and an astonishingly thorough range of connectivity, this clever little unit will appeal as much to the child in you, as to the techno-phile.
Clipable to the backs of most slimmer notebooks (but packaged also with a mostly-sturdy free-stand for those of you with thicker models), the Logitech QuickCam Pro with its crystalline clarity and ease of use will make you wonder why you ever bothered with its grainy and glitchy predecessors. And although it may not come with Anti-Acne technology or Corrective Cowlick computational abilities, it'll definitely make you look better than you ever have before.
Customer Review: Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera recently and i should admit i love it. I used to have a cheap Phillips webcam and the quality of it was bad. The picture came out as if i was in a basement. This camera has a very cool useful feature which is called the backlight and even if there is not enough light in the room it still looks DOOD, VERY GOOD.
The microphone is working very well too. You can sit away from the wbcam and still talk with your normal voice volume. It does not have any background noise.
Another nice feature of this camera is special effects. You can fool around, adding some funny hats, glasses, masks to your face or even become an alien (if smb wants to).It works with Skype, but you have to let this software be used with Skype. The program asks you if you want to let Logitech be used with Skype and if you say yes, you can enjoy this cool feature.
The best thing of all is the glass Carl Zeiss Lens. It really makes difference. My husband has pretty much same webcam but without such lens and the quality of picture is notisably worse.
The only thing i had trouble with is software, i had to install it twice. But i think it is somehow connected with the virus program in my computer, it is a crazy software and always interferes with all installations.
I like everything about this very camera, especially great picture quality and forgot to mention small design. It is small and cute and looks good on notebook.
If i needed to buy one more camera i would get the same one. Hopefully it was helpful.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This webcam produces nice sharp images and the automatic focus is fabulous! The colors are rich and very true.
It works great in dim light and well lit areas. However in my opinion it works best if the room is evenly lit,either all dim or all bright.When I first turned it on it was evening and my room was dim except for the desk lamp which was sitting behind the camera and this caused some over exposure,this was easily solved by simply turning the lamp off.
The sound is also nice and clear,even from several feet away.I have a very soft voice and sitting about a foot and a half from the camera I can be easily heard,which is saying alot considering I constantly have to repeat myself to others.
Even the pictures are nice,about the quality of a mid grade digital camera.It also comes with a stand if you don't want to clip it to your monitor.The stand is a light weight plastic and has a grip pad on the bottom for extra support.
All in all I am very happy with this webcam and reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a nice compact webcam with excellent resolution.
