Customer Review: fine for the $35 price
Summary: 5 Stars
I took hours reading over reviews to find the best webcam for my infrequent use.
Installation was Ok. I read the directions and followed them.
After downloading the webcam's vid software (upgraded) the program would not continue downloading. Not knowing what else to do, I turned off the computer, and when it came back on I went to the progam. If you are going to use it for Skype, skip downloading vid.
When I first used it on Skype, my friends could not see me. After reconnecting, turning off the computer, calling them again ...Eventually they could see me ... and I don't know how that happened. It still works well.
One simple thing: the webcam comes with the shade pulled down. Remember to pull it up so that the logo is no longer facing you, but the lens is!
The lens is wide angle, so there is a lot of background in the image. The person speaking is quite small. Probably good for a whole family that sits together to call grandma. It works for me. My friends can see my cats and dogs playing in the back of the room!
I am satisfied for the price of $35. I would not have ever spent $99 for this.
Customer Review: very satisfied customer
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter recently moved to Spain and I needed to find a webcam compatible with a six year old Sony Vaio with Microsoft XP/Vista and hi-speed internet. I had procrastinated setting up the Skype until after she had moved. I had been shopping on Amazon but didn't know exactly which webcam to buy. The Skype site suggested several webcams compatible to our computer. They "hooked me up" with Amazon and I ordered the Logitech QuickCam for 34.99. I received it in 2 business days (no shipping charge). I didn't think I would be able to set the webcam up myself but it was a cinch. It rests securely on the moniter and it is very, very simple to use. The video, audio and microphone are super clear. My initial thought was that if this webcam didn't work very well than I can upgrade. I really don't feel as though I need to upgrade anytime soon! I had company at the house the other day & we gathered around the computer to Skype with my daughter in Spain and also with my niece in California. It was perfect! I am very happy with this webcam.Customer Review: Good Bang for the Buck.

I had to return my Microsoft LifeCam yesterday. I spent 75 on it at a local store but picked this one up for just under 70. Technically, I actually think this is a upgrade and the Microsoft's static and noise made it utterly unusable for me. There was nothing to be done with it so this is a big improvement because nobody wants to listen to a podcast in which their ear drums are assaulted with noise. The Deluxe is superior to my old messenger model as the video has more resolution and the microphone is better. The sound is satisfactory and negated the need for a headset. Another thing, when you go above this level of resolution you face difficulties finding places to post your videos as they have MB maximum requirements. For these reasons, I think this will be the last webcam I buy for awhile. It's a good bang for the buck.
Customer Review: The Quick Cam was surprising
Summary: 5 Stars
1. The Quick cam has a built in microphone.
2. The software uses the computer microphone as a default. So you will need to change the settings for the microphone to use the quick cam microphone
3. The face recognition software can detect the eyes and mouth regions. This is not advanced visual recognition; the software does not recognize mouth formations of sounds; instead the software detects movement of the mouth, face direction, an eyebrow movement; images in real time can be superimposed on the indivdual or a complete avatar representation substitutes.
4. The time lapse and motion sensing capabilities were excellent. The image quality was good.
5. The web cam does not have a wireless feature.
6. The web cam does not come with single frame to animation software.
Customer Review: Excellent webcam
Summary: 5 Stars
Not much else to say. Great webcam, excellent resolution, great microphone, very adaptable to any type of monitor or surface, and great sound management. If I had to say anything for an improvement, I would add more options for when you are traveling in other countries. I visited Brazil and I had some issues with the video transmissions. I got into the settings and the Anti-Flicker feature only had options for North America 60HZ, Europe 50 Hz, and Off. What???? What about the rest of the world??? Anyway, when I am at home it is a great webcam
