    Jan 15, 2008
    Pros: Flattering, fast, clarity, moves with you as you walk
    Cons: I'll let you know...

    Summary: Long gone are the days of web cams being for just creepy people looking to show off to other creepy people on the net! They are now being used every day on places like YouTube and MySpace for people of all ages, backgrounds, shapes and sizes and are ... read more

  • Basic webcam

    Pros: Flexible mounting, fast frame rate, decent video quality
    Cons: Low microphone volume, bloated software package, poor support, almost no documentation, potential security problems

    Summary: The Lifecam VX-3000 is functional basic webcam, somewhat let down by a weak microphone and a bloated software package that could use some work. It’s worth the $20 I paid for it, but I think it's overpriced at anything near the full retail ... read more

  • Detailed info on the VX-3000 LifeCam Drivers

    Pros: You can extract the huge driver package on your own. Good low-light pickup.
    Cons: You have to download the whole thing even if you want just one thing inside.

    Summary: I try to write my reviews so as to cover ground NOT covered by previous reviewers, rather than re-inventing the wheel. There are a LOT of reviews on this webcam on the net, even if that is not reflected here (i.e. try Amazon). In my research, I ... read more

  • 'LifeCam' is probably a misnomer...

    Pros: None that I can really suggest.
    Cons: Cheap build, light, flimsy, very hard to hook on to a laptop.

    Summary: Having read an excellent and lengthy review about this product by another contributor, I now realise that you need to have a bit of computer 'nouse' in order to use this cam. I bought one three weeks ago and still haven't been able to install it

  • Didn't work with Windows 2000

    Pros: Easy to install. You don't have to gnaw through the packaging like many products.
    Cons: Won't work with Windows 2000. Hard to find that information on the package.

    Summary: I bought this to use with my laptop. My laptop has Windows 2000 and doesn't have enough horsepower to run XP. This camera won't work without XP. The fine print on the box says: "For a Windows Based PC." The really fine print says: Windows XP

  • Nice value

    Pros: Ease of use.
    Cons: Volume controls take a little bit of time to adjust.

    Summary: First experience with webcams so I can't really compare to anything else. However, it was easy to install and pretty easy to figure out the settings. I don't think I paid much more than $40 and it's been well worth it to see distant family, etc. Other

  • Great camera

    Pros: Easy install, easy set up, great picture quality.
    Cons: None so far.

    Summary: Just bought this camera at Comp USA for under $30 after rebate today and installed it in minutes. Easy install, easy set up, good picture quality even in darker environment. Software lets you adjust brightness,hue etc. Would highly recommend.
