Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Lifecam VX-1000
Digital camera Review: Very pleased!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had purchased another webcam that I was NOT happy with and returned, and ordered this Microsoft Lifecam VX-100 based primarily on the video review(thanks!)It was shipped super fast by the seller(Super Deal in Brooklyn)and arrived in 3 days!!!! :)
The installation process was a bit time consuming and cumbersome, but may have to do with my older model Dell laptop/OS/etc more so than the camera/software. It was labeled very clearly with install software before connecting camera, and came to find you have to go through installation of Windows Live Messenger (which I'm not interested in using as I am a Skyper) and this is what took time. Once that was done the camera installation went fast and painlessly. I am not a technical, camera litterate person and wanted something that's easy to use, and this is it.
Skype found the camera immediately, and although it was too late in the evening to try it out on a live subject, the tests I ran seemed to be just fine. I am pleased with the settings options and chose low light and backlight comp(?)The picture is a little bit delayed, but by far as much as the first camera I bought. The stand unfolds and the camera clamps easily on to the laptop monitor. I also liked the fact that it connects via only the USB port and did not require an additional plug- in for the microphone.
For the price and ease of this camera I am overall very happy with it. I can not compare it to a more expensive, fancy model, but this works very well for my needs!
