Digital camera reviews of Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac (Black)
Digital camera Review: An excellent best webcam for any system
Summary: 5 Stars
I grabbed it for the Mac Mini plugged on my TV, but as it has been said in a different review, since it just works though the UVC standards it works out-of-the box on any recent system (including Windows and Linux).
I was aware than the applications I'm using (Skype, Photobooth) don't use the full resolution, but that's fine for me. Photobooth is just a toy and Skype needs to stream its video in real time, the bandwidth wouldn't be enough at HD.
Compared to my old webcam that required the Open Source macam drivers for a dumbed down experience (only 5 fps), it's a great improvement:
* Very smooth video (seems to be 30fps or close)
* Wide angle (the full room is visible)
* Auto-lighting works much better than the older webcam
On the top of that, the look is very classy and discrete on the top of my black TV. I couldn't ask for more!
Seriously, even if I was buying a webcam for Windows I would have chosen it over the Pro 9000, because I believe having AF and auto-lighting done in hardware and not requiring any driver is worth paying $30 more.
Digital camera Review: Autofocus is hit and miss (mostly miss)
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this to hook up to my mac mini. The video quality is nowhere near the quality of the video from the built in webcam on my imac. The focus on this thing goes in and out, and everyone I talk to using Skype says the image looks blurry and pixelated. Maybe my room isn't bright enough, but it's just barely usable.Digital camera Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars

Digital camera Review: Awesome webcam
Summary: 5 Stars
This Web cam is GREAT!!! It is literally plug it in....play it! My husband was in China and the kids and I were able to see him and chat everyday! There was maybe a 1 second delay between talk and picture, but my gosh, it's half way across the world!! Some days we had a lot of pixeling on the picture, but other days we didn't. Wondering if it just had to do with the amount of online traffic. Otherwise the picture if very clear. We bought this for our Mac mini. Just so glad it works, cuz we originally bought a different brand from the store that said it was compatible with Mac and after an hour or trying to set it up and calling Mac support we had learned it was NOT compatible. Frustrating.
The Logiteck Quickcam vision pro for Mac is the only one Mac sells in it's retail stores too! Retail, they cost $130. To get it for $30 +tax, less, made for a good day! If you're debating between getting it or not....just get it! You'll be glad you did!
