Digital camera reviews of Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks ( 961404-0403 )
Digital camera Review: Decent in a well-lit room
Summary: 2 Stars
This a decent and capable webcam for the price...as long as you're in a well-lit room. Personally, I like to keep my computer room dark so I'm not too thrilled with this camera - I was hoping the light from my monitor would be enough but my image is completely dark, even with a small lamp on in the room. I have to turn on the overhead light when using this camera.
The good part is that the picture is very acceptable (while never great) in those conditions. Considering the low price, and small size, this is an okay webcam. It's intended for notebooks but I figured I could use it for my desktop and just clip it onto my flat-panel. No can-do. The clip doesn't spread apart enough to do that so i just affixed it to the back of my panel with some double-sided tape.
Looking back, I probably wouldn't buy this camera again.
Digital camera Review: Dissapointed
Summary: 2 Stars
Supposedly this is a good brand for a webcam, but I think its one of the worst quality web cams I have ever seen! The color is awful, it always seems blurry no matter what adjustments I have made, and having this cam on a notebook, you can't adjust the cam so that you see more than just someone's face. Its too close up!!! It also doesn't fit very well on my notebook either. I'm just not at all happy with it.Digital camera Review: Does not work and not supported by Logitech?
Summary: 1 Stars
I couldn't get this to work more than once or twice in Skype (even though it says it's certified) and that only after I UN-installed the software and drivers that came with the camera. It also didn't work with a number of other webcam apps, such as web based flash sites. I tried to look on logitechs site for driver updates, but couldn't' even find this products, even when clicking on show all cams for all times. I don't' know if this is some proprietary item made by Logitech for someone else, but I would steer clear...Digital camera Review: Does not work fine with VISTA
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought it 6 months ago. It is a nice camera. Works great with my XP Dell, but does not work fine with my wife's VISTA Dell. The microfone and the audio has problems. I was looking for new drivers but there not for Vista.Digital camera Review: Drivers don't work. Stay away!
Summary: 1 Stars
I fought with this cam for a whole day before giving up and buying a Microsoft VX. As I wish I had known before buying, there are lots of notes out on the web about problems with the Logitech drivers. I tried all the suggestions out there and still could not get reliable performance with Skype. It eventually stopped blue-screening the whole system (WinXP SP2), but videoconf freezes no matter what I do. Life is too short to mess with something like this - save yourself the trouble.
