Logitech Pro 9000

Works very well. On video, the motion is a little slow. That may be normal, as I have nothing to compare to.

First webcam, works great

Had some issues at first with Skype, the main reason for buying this. But after getting the latest DirectX installed, it worked fine. Not sure if it can be used as a security webcam but it does have some pretty nice software that enhances the image -- pretty wacky, some of them, to the amusement of the viewers! It's been working great for the past 3 months and I have no complaints.

Better than I'd hoped for

The picture is sharp and it streams like a dream. Sent one to my family who use it on their PC and I use mine on my laptop...works great both ways. Very easy to setup. I highly recommend it!

Poorly Designed

I purchased this webcam from Amazon.com for use on Sykpe and Instant Messenger.
The sound quality is excellent. The video plays back images in slow motion which is quite disappointing to me because I thought we got past slow motion imagery technologically.

The most disappointing thing for me is its design. I find it too bulky to perch on either my Dell Inspirion or Gateway Tablet. I travel frequently and use the webcam and storage is an issue for me.

The webcam does not fit securely in place either.

Each time I use it I fantasize about obtaining a "small" webcam that is fixed in place on the notebook via one of those "large rubberised clothes pegs" similar to the "bag clips" and an adjustable neck that can turn 360 degrees as well as up and down. In other words after spending $85 or so dollars on thing I expected more but got less.

Is there an inventor out there or maybe logitech will go back to the design drawing board?

Crystal Clear Optics

I spent a little more than I had planned to on a webcam, but the money was well spent. This is clearly a newer generation of webcam than the old counterparts that were the video equivalent of stuttering and stammering.

The optics and clarity are excellent, and the camera smart enough to adjust for even the most unforgiving light and speed environment. It senses and corrects most everything thrown at it, from fast movement to harsh backlight. The color is true to life and vivid. The audio is clear.

Setup was simple. I installed the companion software without a hitch and it was ready to go. There are some features that are pure fluff and novelty, but I did play around with them briefly. Turning myself into a talking cat is not something I think I'll need in the future, but some folks would find it fun.

The field of view is nice and wide. I use it to keep the family in touch, so several of us sit around the camera to communicate. It accomodates everyone without a problem.

The only thing I struggled with and never did get to work to my satisfaction was clipping it onto my notebook. It doesn't so much clip as "drape" so any substantial movement to the laptop would cause it to fall.

But all in all, stellar optics and audio make this an excellent choice for those looking for clarity and smooth, non-jumpy webcam.
