 Excellent quality camera September 30, 2008
J. Allos (USA)
This is the first webcam I own, and I'm very impressed with it. The quality of the image, both video and photo, is really good. I like the fact it has a photo feature too. It tilts up and down but I wish it could turn right and left a little easier.
 Mediocre, Overpriced. September 29, 2008
Pigumon (Bay Area, CA)
The clip that holds it to the monitor broke with less than one year's use.
The video quality is no better than the microscopic camera built into most new laptops.
The Carl Zeiss lens is completely useless in this camera, it's just a name to sell a product at a higher price in this case.
I'd recommend getting a similar, cheaper camera with a plastic lens.
 Never regret September 29, 2008
Yi Xin YANG (NYC, NY)
At the beginning, I personnaly thought it's a bit expensive. Around $70 for a webcam? It sounds too much, doesn't it. However, my friend who specilised in the PC hardware strongly suggested it to me and therefore I decided it to give it a try.
The product is awesome! All the friends who saw me in the new cam gave it excellent compliments.
Pro:
easy to carry and clip on the monitor or be placed on the stand;
perfect quality;
the software is very easy and convenient to use and entertaining;
Free carry-case to protect the cam
It seamlessly works with Skype and supports the HD quality video communications.
Cons:
can't even think of one for now.
Very Good WebCam September 28, 2008
Alan Rosen (Brookline Village, MA United States)
Installation of the software and (3) drivers seemed relatively quick. Image testing is very succinct although the microphone test is also strictly visual. I installed Skype afterwards and the two products interact quite well. Skype permits an audio feedback test of the microphone which showed it appears to work quite well and the sound is very clear and distinct even speaking from a distance.
The software includes sophisticated video and audio auto correction capabilities which can be optionally disabled or manually adjusted. There is an undocumented button on the web cam itself (as in the software) which allows you to take "snapshots" automatically creating a jpg image.
Both a colleague of mine as well as myself experienced a situation where the software for this product suddenly caused the PC (XP Pro) to reboot without a warning or blue screen. This may have been an interaction with Skype but it was a rare occurrence. Somewhere in the driver is a stop code which shouldn't be there.
While stressing the product's software based zoom feature at full zoom and maximum resolution, the image becomes quite poor. Still, under normal use, the image is quite good.
Although the product name implies it is for notebook computers, it works well on any type of PC. What probably constrains it to notebooks is the short 3 ft USB cable and a holding stand that comes with the product which is just tall enough (11 1/2" lens height) to clear the open cover when placed directly behind it. Ideally, the clip on the web cam would attach to the cover itself so you do not have to take the stand with you when traveling. Fortunately it attached OK to my notebook but it doesn't appear to be a universal design. There is only a vertical swivel to adjust for the open cover angle.
The installation CD contains, in pdf format, the manuals of all the Logitech web cam products. You can browse through them to determine if you bought the right one! The manuals themselves do not contain much useful information.
Great Product September 25, 2008
Nate
This is a great webcam. The software is easy to install and the product easy to use. The product works well with Skype and the image quality is good.
