Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX
Customer Review: workable but not great
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought three of these so we can show off our new baby to her grandparents via skype.
1. They are quite blurry. It's fine if you're sitting still and talking, but after any kind of motion the picture will be very bad for around a second.
2. One grandparent, on Windows XP, managed to install the drivers that came with the CD instead of downloading the most current ones. As a result, she was sending terrible static bursts every few seconds. Upgrading the driver fixed the issue, but it took an hour of painful over-the-phone debugging to discover that this was the problem.
3. We often have trouble with the audio cutting out. Probably this is a bandwidth problem, but we all have "good" internet service (cable modems or fiber).
If I had it to do over again, I would pay some extra to buy something better.
