- Lighting and sound enhancements on the Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP, including RightLight2, produce video and audio quality that are as good as any webcam. It has motorized face-tracking, a wide viewing angle and tilt adjustment, and an outstanding software bundle. Build-quality is impressive, according to reviews.
- The Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP is expensive compared to others. Installation adds several unnecessary startup items and the software consumes about 200 MB of hard drive space. One reviewer experienced problems with the driver.
The Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP is at the top of the webcam price range. A desktop stand, ultra-wide angle lens, and mechanical pan and tilt distinguish it from the QuickCam Ultra Vision (*est. $100) and the QuickCam Fusion (*est. $65). However, most reviews give the Ultra Vision and Fusion higher ratings. Still, if the tall stand of the Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP appeals to you, reviews say it's a good (if expensive) choice.
The Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP (*est. $100) has been on the market for a long time, and Logitech revised the product twice without changing the name, a fact that makes looking for reviews confusing. We found many reviews of both the QuickCam Orbit MP and the QuickCam Sphere, which is the European-market version. A very informative Gadgetnutz review explains the product history and improvements. Dev Hardware also reviews the current version, but makes no comparisons. Which.co.uk ranks 13 webcams, including the Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP, but is short on discussion.

Dan Wellman conducts an in-depth test of the Logitech QuickCam Sphere (the European variant of the Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP) and provides a comprehensive single-product review. A couple of screenshots are included. The review is one of the few of the current version of the product, but Wellman compares it with no other webcams.

ExtremeMhz.com has the best review of the previous generation of the Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP. The review is detailed and documented with videos from the webcam. However, the review demonstrates the danger of relying on a two-year-old perspective. One of the major virtues of the webcam is said to be its face-tracking feature. What was unique then is common now.
