This review is from: Microsoft LifeCam HD-6000 720p HD Webcam for Notebooks (Black)To use this camera for video calls it's an absolute must to disable the autofocus. And unfortunately you must do it every time you've rebooted your computer, if not every time you restart your video calling program. The autofocus will hunt back and forth over its full focusing range on a regular basis even if the subject is relatively close to the camera and moving very little. The end result is maddening. I don't know if this "feature" is reduced by a super strong connection, but I do know I'm not the first to complain about it by any means.The only solution is to open up the camera settings and disable the hyped "true color + ClearFrame Technology". Once this box is unchecked you can then go into the "Properties" and uncheck autofocus. While you're at it you may want to uncheck the auto exposure and the auto color temperature and just make adjustments there that look good to you.Once you've killed the horribly evil autofocus the video is actually quite good for such a tiny camera. That's why I give this 3 stars instead of 1. I've used it with Skype and the video is sometimes good even with sub 500 Kbit connections. It is definitely much, much, better than the built in camera in a new Dell laptop (relatively high end with a Core i5 and 4GB RAM) just purchased in the past 2 months. It's also better than a camera built into an iMac that I've had the opportunity to compare with.
This review is from: Microsoft LifeCam HD-6000 720p HD Webcam for Notebooks (Black)Not sure what the other reviewers are saying, but I installed the software successfully on couple of my 64-bit Windows 7 laptops by visiting Microsoft's hardware site.Also installed Windows Live Essentials 2011 that includes Windows Live Messenger and other stuff (Live Mail client app, Live Photo Gallery, Live Movie Maker, etc).Webcam was very economical, and provides awesome pictures and hd video after turning off auto-focus feature (by going into settings and disabling TrueColor).I am pretty happy with the product, and hope others will provide an accurate review of this product.
This review is from: Microsoft LifeCam HD-6000 720p HD Webcam for Notebooks (Black)This product (HD-6000) is great looking, but it has major limitations:- No TWAIN Driver for standard applications.- It doesnt capture really sharp images (Do not believe otherwise)- It gets a little a little too warm when used... YES... Hot compared to others.- Movies produced in high res where produced with low frames.In other words... Not worth all the hype.
