Digital camera reviews of Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF
Digital camera Review: Good quality.
Summary: 4 Stars
Really delivers on sound and picture quality. Like the auto features and being able to point camera where I want it without touching it.Digital camera Review: Good web cam but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this web camera for about a month now and I love it for basic web cam and video operations. It takes beautiful stills, and has a beautiful picture in video. The built in microphone works perfectly. However, I don't really care for the motorized face tracking. Though it is a very cool concept, it seems a little too under developed at this point, and will eventually be improved hopefully.Digital camera Review: Good web cam, some of the advanced features are unstable
Summary: 4 Stars
This installed well running Vista business, good picture quality over Skype, great sound quality. The auto color adjustments are not needed, the picture is good without them and they just make the picture worse. The follow-me feature works for a while then shuts down. The animations are entertaining for a minute or two. I would prefer they put their programming efforts into working out the basic bugs. Also I haven't been able to get this working running Linux (Ubuntu) yet, although it was listed as compatible with the Linux driver.Digital camera Review: Good webcam
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good product, this is my 2nd one. The first one broke down after an accident, so decided to get another one.Digital camera Review: Good, But
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fine product, especially easy to install. It works well and sets up easily with Skype(see below). However there are a few comments:
1 - The automatic pan and tilt feature is very easily confused. It does not work well. Most of the time I leave it turned off. You don't really need it.
2 - Given that you paid extra for the pan and tilt, I notice that there is some third party software available to allow you to steer remotely. This might be useful for remote surveilance, if that is your interest.
3 - The files produced are quite large. Hence for Skype and email I leave it set at a lower resolution.
4 - When using Skype video, be sure to increase the size of the physical window. I could not get incoming video until I learned of this issue on the web. (I think this is a Skype and not a camera issue.)
Overall, this is a good webcam, but I'll bet you could do just as well for 1/2 the price.
