Digital camera reviews of Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000
Digital camera Review: Cheap product, poor picture
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the MS Lifecam 1000 for skype. The picture was not sharp or very bright. The camera did not sit well on any surface, it could easily be disrupted. Although the mic did pick up sound very well. I have since replaced it.Digital camera Review: Clear image and easy to use
Summary: 4 Stars
We used this webcam for years in our family and have really enjoyed it. We finally got another one for the in-laws in Taiwan after getting tired of their poor quality image on MSN webcalls. The difference is literally night and day.
The only complaints I have is that it is not compatible with the Mac, and it is not plug and play. The driver install takes 3 minutes and you are good to go.
Digital camera Review: Cool Camera. Too Bad it Doesn't Work.
Summary: 1 Stars
I am 17 years old and spend a LOT of time online. My system is Windows Vista and I use a Toshiba laptop (bought it two years ago). I don't have a lot of high-tech software; I use Windows Movie Maker to make my videos.
I've been using my digital camera (which is supposed to be used mainly for taking pictures) to make videos, which only records for 60 seconds. That was a pain, so I decided to get a webcam. I researched for hours and found this one. It sounded like a great product with a ton of good reviews.
Unfortunately, when I tried to install it on my computer, it didn't work. I installed the software, exactly as instructed (though the instructions were a bit too concise - they could have explained a little more thoroughly). No matter what I did, I couldn't get the camera to work. All I could do was take pictures with it. I already have a camera for that.
The picture was a bit grainy, but that didn't bother me. I asked a friend who works with code daily if he could help me. Maybe I was doing something wrong. But nothing he suggested worked, either. I tried Microsoft help and troubleshooting and absolutely nothing helped or worked. So I returned the camera.
I commend Amazon, however, for getting the camera to me promptly and easing me through one of the smoothest returns/refunds I've ever been through. The return/refund process was quite simple and fast.
Digital camera Review: Cool thing to have if you use Skype
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best among all the products I have used within this price range. Great quality in both video and audio output.Digital camera Review: Could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
This product has a built in mike, and capable of taking still shots and motion video. The images are grainy. Otherwise, good for the novice.
