Digital camera reviews of Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 Webcam - Black

Digital camera Review: Don't waste your money on this webcam.
Summary: 1 Stars

Audio has loud low frequency hum that overpowers your voice on recordings. I installed the unit on 2 different PC's, tried it with XP, Vista and Windows 7. Same result on all.

The video works, but the audio is completely worthless. Guess I got what I paid for.

Digital camera Review: Don't waste your time and money
Summary: 1 Stars

I returned the piece of $#*&%$ after trying for two weeks to get decent picture quality. In using Skype the picture on the receiving end would either freeze or disappear completely.

Digital camera Review: Dont get this
Summary: 1 Stars

I purchased this a while ago, and have since stopped using it.

Pros:
cheap
has a stand/clip

Cons:
Awful video quality
can not auto focus very well
poor sound quality
the clip isn't really tight, and falls off the computer monitor sometimes.

I recommend you buy a different camera. This was a big disappointment.

Digital camera Review: Easy Camera to use
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great little camera! I SKYPE with my family in Norway and they get a great picture and can hear me fine!

Digital camera Review: Easy Install, Lousy Product
Summary: 2 Stars

The low price was the main driver behind my decision to purchase this product. However, once I got it installed I was less than impressed with the "crystal clear" audio that the box claimed the camera had. The sound was muddled and the volume control had to be cranked up to the maximum in order for it to pick up my voice.

Also, any attempt to optimize the settings really dragged down performance. Audio and video quickly became out of synch. I thought I was watching an old Godzilla movie.

So why the two stars in my rating? Cute snowflakes and other graphics to animate the video. However, that didn't cut it and I returned this in exchange for a Logitech product which has been fantastic. Spend another $15 and you can find something better.
