Digital camera reviews of Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks Pro

Digital camera Review: A Limited Product
Summary: 3 Stars

Having read the previous reviews I agree with the following:

versatility of the wider viewing angle
portability and the convenient size
fair color rendition, relatively decent resolution
mediocre low light compensation
considerable heating up of the unit (makes sense: the smaller the area for heat dissipation, the greater the heat index)

Overall, the cam performs well outside of the IM environment. It seems to tolerate MSN but craps out on Yahoo. Major problems include a significant lag, freezing up, and worst of all, enormous posterization. I was so disappointed that I nearly returned it but, trouble is, there are few if any products much better for the price. The limitation is largely in the entire product category and not in this cam per se. I'm hoping that it performs better with Skype and AIM. MSN was ok but not an option for my Mac-user friends.

Oh, minor gripe: the clip is cumbresome to attach to my Dell Inspiron but stays put once there.

Other features: face tracking, funky avatars-- just tiresome gimmicks for teens. What counts is basic streaming of images and that seems to be greatly dependant on the IM interface. Some day this generation of webcams will seem like Kodak disposables.
