Digital camera reviews of Logitech 961471-0403 QuickCam Ultra Vision
Digital camera Review: Bought a second one
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one Logitech 961471-0403 QuickCam Ultra Vision about a year or so ago and used it for skype. Always liked it. When I got another computer I bought another one. It's one of the less expensive ones and well worth it. Also got it on time.Digital camera Review: Causes crashes, image not great in low light
Summary: 1 Stars
This camera caused the BSOD every once in a while. Previous Logitech 5000 never did that once. Today, downloaded new software (v 10.5) from the Logitech site, and the BSOD problem occcurs every other time the camera is turned on.
When the camera doesn't cause the computer to crash, the picture is okay in good lighting. It is very hard to adjust manually and the right-lite software barely makes a difference.
Stay away from this camera until Logitech comes out with a solid software fix.
Digital camera Review: Crashed my pc
Summary: 1 Stars
The software crashed my pc...this camera is useless to me. A huge waste of money. It took me four hours to back the software out and restore my PC. Be careful!Digital camera Review: Crashes both my computers
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this camera and installed it on both my Vista laptop and my XP desktop. Promptly crashed both systems. On the XP it was degenerative and corrupted the OS so I had to do a system restore. I can't believe Logitech released something so buggy!
Despite of this camera's good looks and alleged performance buy and install at your peril.
Digital camera Review: Decent, but could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a decent usit, but it could be better, especialy for the money.
1) Capture performance
I have a P4 3.2GHz computer. 2GB RAM. 100GB 7200 RPM HD. Very fast. Unfortunately, using the provided video capture software, it canot capture 640x480 @ 30 fps very well. It drops frames. By comparison, my digital camera does much better in movie mode. 640x480 @ 30fps is no problem for the camera.
2) Capture Quality
At night in my office there is no outside light, so I rely on my ceiling lights and desk lamps. This web cam does not do well with lower light levels. The software compensates somewhat, but the end result is not always consistent. By comparison, my digital camera has a movie mode that does much better in low light. My miniDV camcorder also does much better, and it is about 5 years old.
I believe the software deserves much of the blame. It is a system hog that robs performance. This needs to be improved immediately. If there was a cheap or open source program that works with this webcam and can tap into all of its features, I would switch immediately.
