Length:: 1:44 MinsThis camera is worth buying in this price range for people who generally use Windows Live products (messenger, etc) and normally do basic web cam sessions with a resolution no greater than 640 x 480. If you'd like to do full screen video using other software like Skype, you'll want to get a higher end Microsoft camera or something like the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 (my favorite). I've been using the Quickcam Pro 9000 for the past year and have really liked it, however, it seems to be at least double the price of this MS camera. One downside to this Microsoft camera is that the microphone can be a bit faint and the sound can be a bit off. That said, unless you have high expectations for crystal clear web cam chats, then I can certainly recommend this camera for people mainly interested in ease of use with Windows Live Messenger and other Instant Messaging programs. It was easy to install and is extremely easy to use. I recorded this video in 320x240 resolution using the included software. Thanks and have fun shopping!
This review is from: Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 (Blue)Microsoft's LifeCam VX-5000 is a good all around webcam at a reasonable price. While some of the features are improvements, this is not the highest end model you can get and not even the top of the line in Microsoft's line-up. You may have to do some more research and demanding users will want to step up. But for those that are looking for the best bang for their buck, this model should definitely be in the running.Pros+ Good Price for basic webcam+ The flexible base is probably the best design out there for working with a variety of monitors, including laptops, flat screens and traditional monitors+ The included software is very easy for non-techies to install and configure using simple buttons + Ability to zoom, pan and tilt are nice, though now standard, extras+ Easy settings also allow for easy video effects+ Advanced features are just a click away, allowing customized settings+ For those who want to do IM and chat, this seems to be tightly integrated with those applications and Windows Live+ Integrated Microphone is a nice feature and one less thing for your desk+ Nice indicator light alerts you to when webcam is capturing+ The options to take a snapshot, record video or record sound are nice and useful for basic multimedia stuff+ Nice range of model accent colors: i.e. Blue, Green and RedCons- Video quality perhaps not good enough for professional (work) use yet- The video capture (listed at 30 frames per second) still seems to perform too slowly to capture fast movement (try waving your hand)- The microphone sensitivity is average and the camera must be directed at you for it to capture sound adequately- The highly touted low light performance and auto-adjustment works slowly and not as well as the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000- The software installation includes too much scumware, adware and software for chatting and other things you may not want; just more stuff to remove- The 640 X 480 video resolution does not easily sc...
