 Great little add-on to a notebook October 14, 2007

As with other Logitech products (at least the four others that I have), there were no issues with getting this cam running on my notebook. This always pleases me, since my computer is pushing 6 years of age. :) It's small enough to fit into my carrying case without having to remove anything that I already cram in there, and its weight is negligible. That makes it perfect for travel use in my book.
I was not too impressed with the software that comes packaged with the cam, but it does get the job done. I was actually impressed with the image quality. Most webcams I have played around with were abysmal in their resolution. This one, however, did nearly as good a job as some digital cameras I have used. I attribute this to the optics, as I have had good experiences with Zeiss lenses on various microscopes in the past.
The cost is not too bad considering the quality of product that it delivers. I am too pleased with this little gem. :)

This webcam produces nice sharp images and the automatic focus is fabulous! The colors are rich and very true.
It works great in dim light and well lit areas. However in my opinion it works best if the room is evenly lit,either all dim or all bright.When I first turned it on it was evening and my room was dim except for the desk lamp which was sitting behind the camera and this caused some over exposure,this was easily solved by simply turning the lamp off.
The sound is also nice and clear,even from several feet away.I have a very soft voice and sitting about a foot and a half from the camera I can be easily heard,which is saying alot considering I constantly have to repeat myself to others.
Even the pictures are nice,about the quality of a mid grade digital camera.It also comes with a stand if you don't want to clip it to your monitor.The stand is a light weight plastic and has a grip pad on the bottom for extra support.
All in all I am very happy with this webcam and reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a nice compact webcam with excellent resolution.
My Second-ever Webcam . . .This One is Fun! September 28, 2007

Before I got the Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks, my only experience with webcam occurred years ago. Then, the quality of the video was dreadful with bad lighting, weak colors, and pixilated images. Adding to my displeasure was a big, clunky webcam that took up unnecessary desk space - and I retired from webcams almost as soon as I used one.
Now I've changed my mind. This tiny camera (just a wee bit larger than a matchbox) produces images I can be proud of, sharp and colorful, correctly lit even with back lighting. Its close-ups are free of major distortion. The Carl Zeiss Company, long admired by serious photographers, makes this webcam's lens. The quality shows.
If there's a flaw in this webcam, it's the audio . . . acceptable but not stellar like the images. The range seems limited, cutting off extreme ends of the audible spectrum. However, because this may be due in part or whole to the quality of the sound card on my notebook, and because I am not an audio expert, I am unwilling to mark down the webcam.
The QuickCam Pro is good enough to produce serious business video applications or to use for casual conversations. I have not tested it on Skype because I do not use Skype.
Suggestions for future versions:
1. Include a longer cord on the camera so I can use it further away from my notebook.
2. Create an entirely portable version, powered by batteries, that I can take anywhere without attaching it to my notebook at all.
Overall, a great little webcam that's loads of fun. Five stars!
Great Little Webcam July 14, 2007

This is the perfect webcam for using with a laptop. The image quality is outstanding and works well even in low light. The cord is just long enough to connect up to a USB port without getting in the way and saves space when packed up in the tiny neoprene case that's included. Logitech even thought to include a handy mini velcro strap on the USB cord to keep things organized. There's a small and quite adequate microphone with the camera. The stand that is included with the camera breaks apart into three smaller pieces so it can also easily fit in one's gear bag. I'm a bit concerned it's not quite sturdy enough for constant assembly-and-disassembly. I can see using the stand quite a bit when attending lectures because it isolates the microphone from the sound of keyboard typing. I also own an Quick Cam Ultra Vision on a workstation at work. All in all, I'd say that this tiny webcam gives the huge Ultra Vision a good run for it's money on image quality and features, but is much more convenient for the road warrior. Logitech is obviously taking web cams seriously-- these are the two best webcams I have ever seen. They suddenly make video conferencing, video Skype, and OneNote video notes a must have.

Given that the pace of technology is rapidly out-stripping itself, it is getting harder and harder to stay caught up, let alone understand and competently (and completely) use the technology you may have.
This little cam is an excellent solution: a classy item that does most of the hard work for you. The picture is always crisp and self-correcting, the image adjusts to pretty much any lighting conditions, and there's even a user-friendly control panel that lets fussier owners manipulate virtually every aspect of the device. As far as pure mechanics go, the Logitech QuickCam is pretty much everything you could hope for or want, short of a lens that automatically removes blemishes and fixes your hair for you.
Actually, this cam isn't far off from that, either. The programming includes a whole host of avatars, facial additions, fun filters, and video masks that, while mostly goofy, are also endlessly amusing. With one-button recording capabilities and an astonishingly thorough range of connectivity, this clever little unit will appeal as much to the child in you, as to the techno-phile.
Clipable to the backs of most slimmer notebooks (but packaged also with a mostly-sturdy free-stand for those of you with thicker models), the Logitech QuickCam Pro with its crystalline clarity and ease of use will make you wonder why you ever bothered with its grainy and glitchy predecessors. And although it may not come with Anti-Acne technology or Corrective Cowlick computational abilities, it'll definitely make you look better than you ever have before.
