Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks

Camera works as advertised - it rocks! Excellent image quality (sharp and crystal clear). Fast autozoom. Awesome light management - clear and sharp image even in almost complete darkness (only laptop… screen light). Very good grip on the stand that comes with it. Excellent soft pouch (e.g. personally I keep the camera attached to the stand 100% of the time and to prevent it from dust simply cover it with pouch - very convenient). Works even with slow internet connection. E.g. my parents "enjoy" 256 kbit/s which quickly limits itself to 32.. (yep, Russian province, baby) - they report sharp and clear image. Overall - guys, all my peripheral devices are from Logitech. It just happened so. They constantly turn out to be the best at what they do.

This webcam does everything a similarly priced Creative Labs one didn't. I LOVE IT. 1. Hardware. Is wide angle enough so captures more than whole face at normal 2 to 3 foot distances. Does… an Excellent job in poor light. Is Autofocus. Is higher resolution than other similarly priced webcams by Creative Labs (2 Megapixel, vs 1.2 Megapixel). 2. Drivers - Color tint was always perfect, and no adjustment needed. 3. Software - Easy Install, Allows one to zoom the image if desired. 4. Instructions - Either clips to monitor or mounts on (supplied) 11 inch tall plastic stick with base. On a Macintosh, no software needed, it's natively supported on OS X 10.5 and 10.6, whith sharp image, and prefect color. Not quite as good as (more expensive) Stand-alone external Apple iSight Camera, but half the price; and this camera works on both Macintosh and Windows platforms, which iSight doesn't. Drivers available for 64 bit Windows 7.
