This webcam has lasted through 4 years, two desktops, three military deployments, and two sets of grandparents on the opposite side of the States. I have used it to skype and to both record and e-mail videos. I have nothing but positive remarks to say about this webcam. I was so happy with its performance that I have twice gifted it to my relatives so that we could keep in touch. This is a solid piece of electronics that should serve you well.

The USB powered web camera works extremely well on video chat programs or other IM programs that offer video. This camera can also be used for taking snapshots of yourself to save on your computer as well as recording a video for e-mailing as an attachment. This camera works relatively well under relatively dim light condition because it has Logitech's Rightlight 2 Technology. It also utilize Intelligent Face Tracking which has to be enable each time by going into the user interface, otherwise it defaults to a fixed position. The Intelligent Face Tracking also controls auto zoom. Since this is not a motorized webcam the face tracking ability is limited to the field of view. It does this by adjusting the zoom and then pan to capture a face in front of the camera. Also if you have an another microphone plugged in to the computer, it is best to go to the user interface to check to make sure that the built-in microphone on the camera is selected. This is especially true if you just ran a speech to text word processor program using a headset. Speaking of the microphone, this system utilized its own electronics in other words a built-in sound card powered by the USB bus which utilize Right Sound Technology. This system is totally independent from the computer's microphone sound system. It does an extremely good job of providing excellent sound quality as well as reducing echoing and sound feedback between the speakers and the microphone. The sound level is also adjustable in the user interface.It is probably best not to utilize the provided CD but to go to [...] to download the latest driver software that they offer to make sure that all the bugs has been mostly ironed out. Worthy of note: there are explicit instructions to install the software before plugging in the camera, or else the camera won't be recognized by your computer and you'll likely be in for some headaches. You would then have to uninstall the program and reinstall it over again the proper way before plugging in the camera. The software pack includes some fun stuff for the camera such as avatars, face accessories and disguises. After you install the camera and programs, you can also look for new disguises and face accessories that you can download from Logitech from the user interface. This camera utilizes a CCD sensor with a true 640 x 480 pixels and for still images it is capable of up to 1.3 megapixels utilizing software enhancement. Although on the box, it is listed as fixed focus this camera's focus remains crystal clear from about 1 foot to infinity. Typical of practically all web cams, the lens system is very small from the appearance in front of it on the outside. This camera is really nothing more than a pinhole camera utilizing high amplification in order to provide high-performance under low light condition. The Logitech LightLight Technology works relatively well but there are still some short-comes under medium dim light condition. Under that condition the color density and brightness appears to be fluctuating causing the face to appear more red one moment and then less the next. The flexible camera base mount on LCD monitor extremely well less so on CRT monitors.

I bought the camera less than 2 years ago and could not get it to work when I switched to Win7, even though there was a driver upgrade. Contacted Logitech and they gave me the run around of try this and this and this for almost a month. They finally came back and said my particular model would not work under Win7 and they would not support it. Since the warranty is 2 years they said they would give me another camera if I could provide the original sales receipt which I did not have. The same thing had happened on a logitec keyboard and mouse a few months before. I wound up getting a new keyboard and mouse but it was about half the price of my original. I had registered the camera on their site but that didn't seem to matter, I had to have the original receipt. Since I could not find they offered a 50% coupon for another camera from their overpriced site which they would provide when my camera arrived at their returns office. That made me mad so I bought a microsoft Lifecam HD for a lot less than I could buy a lesser camera even with their coupon. All I can say is thanks Logitech because the new camera is great, installed in less than 15 minutes and produces great quality. Their poor support staff which I suspect is overseas has cost them a customer. No more Logitec in my future, ever!!! Thanks for teaching me a valuable lesson.

It has been a pretty good little webcam. I eventually broke the little stand (my own fault), but the video quality always seemed impressive given the price (especially in low light). I never found much use with the included software / extended drivers though, but I suppose some could.

Trust me, you don't want to waste your money on a cheap webcam. The price for this item might seem a little expensive for a webcam, but you get what you pay for: it's much better quality, design, smooth video, and extra features.The Quickcam Fusion uses a CMOS sensor, whereas the Quickcam Pro 5000 uses CCD. Fusion does use a higher CMOS sensor compared to low-end webcams, BUT low quality webcams also still use CMOS technology. Most will argue CCD as being better than CMOS. Granted, the results also show (read on further).- The Quickcam Fusion can tilt 90 degrees back, but it can't tilt forward AND it CANNOT swivel from side to side.- The Quickcam Pro 5000 can tilt 45 degrees up, about 10 degrees down, AND 360 degrees to the sides. The Quickcam Pro 5000 wins in terms of mobility.The rubber tail is much more flexible on the Quickcam Pro 5000. You can straighten the tail to lay flat on a desk or on top of a CRT monitor; or bend to put it on your LCD monitor. Unlike the Quickcam Pro 4000, the 5000 does not come with a second base to attach; I mean, there's really no need for it since you can just adjust the tail.If you plan on taking lots of STILL pictures with the webcam, then the Fusion would be a better choice. The Quickcam Fusion is true 1.3 mega pixel; whereas the Quickcam Pro 5000 is 1.3 mega pixel INTERPOLATED -- meaning it is software enhanced to create a high resolution still picture. However, the whole point of a webcam is for video, anyway; they have digital cameras for taking still pictures. So, in terms of video, the Quickcam Pro 5000, overall, has a clearer video with more vibrant colors. However, bright light will look washed out in white. The Fusion doesn't do a good job with fast motion, as it will blur -- but it does, however, do a better job in low light conditions.The Logitech Pro 5000 has a wide lens of 63 degrees; the Fusion has a wider lens of 78 degrees. If you plan on using the webcam with lots of members, then the Fusion would probably do a better job of fitting everyone on the screen; however, if you plan to use it alone more often, the Logitech Pro 5000 would be a better choice.With the Logitech's top-line webcams -- Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000, Quickcam Fusion, and Quickcam Orbit -- includes the Logitech Video Effects. With only those Logitech webcams, you can add cool special effects on yourself, like glasses or gas mask, while you chat with your friends. Like the face tracking feature -- as freaky as this may sound -- it will try to recognize the position of your eyes, nose and mouth and add those special effects on you. I really like this feature and it makes chatting a lot more fun. However, don't expect it to work 100% perfectly: moving around too much would make the special effects disappear and the camera would need to detect your face again; it can be a pain for many, especially when it complains that there isn't enough light to detect. It'll probably work better for people with distinct big eyes and lips. I am Asian but it still worked for me. (Um, whatever that means.) Just remember not to move around too much. You can also choose different avatars, such as a 3D shark, that will follow your movements. The Logitech Video Effects is an extra feature, which some may not really appreciate, but when it works, trust me, it is a lot of fun. You can download more video effects from Logitech's website. Along with the video effects, you can also record video at 640x480 and save it as a (somewhat) compressed AVI.You can adjust the exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, white balance, gamma, mirror horizontal/vertical, etc. The microphone is located above the green LED on the webcam, and it does a really good job picking up sound.If you prefer a more modern look then you'd probably lean more towards the Fusion, whereas the Quickcam Pro still has the early round eye-ball webcam 1.0 look. But personally, I like the black finish and silver rings on the Pro 5000; it goes well with my black monitor. However, what's more important is the video performance. Overall, the Quickcam Pro 5000 is one of the best webcams out there today. Don't settle for a cheap webcam - it's just a waste of money.IMPORTANT: The software CD inside the package might be outdated (most likely), so don't use it if it is. Just download the latest from Logitech's website. And make sure you install the software first, before connecting the camera, to avoid any further issues.

After doing some research, I purchased several Pro 5000's for family and professional colleagues. As long as the systems was Windows XP or Vista, no one had any problems. One person was using Windows 2000 Professional nad had driver problems. The Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 WebCam works very well in variable lighting conditions and the built-in micke provides good audio.Some of the "bling" software special effects provide excellent engagement for younger children, encouraging them to use and to communicate with others. No problems getting it to work with Skype.

Ordered as a gift for a friend who wasn't even too excited about having a webcam until she received this one and used it. She instantly loved it! You can use it as plug and play (without loading the software) or take a few minutes to load the software to have the extra features. I was able to talk her through it over the phone and using Skype (free download), we were video chatting in a matter of minutes. She then emailed all her friends with her Skype name and told them to get a web cam too! I had previously purchased a Logitech webcam for my elderly mom so we could video chat and was impressed with how well it worked and how easy it was for her to use. This one is has great picture quality and again is simple to use. Great purchase for yourself or to give as a gift, even for someone who isn't very computer literate. My family lives all over the US and it's great to be able to stay in touch by video chatting, especially on holidays. I even use my webcam and Skype to stay in touch with friends in Brazil and clients in New Zealand and Australia. (using with Windows XP without any problems at all)

I actually bought this cam for a friend whose husband is currently deployed, so my main concern was to purchase an efficient plus useful device. So far she has been completely satisfied. The picture and audio reception has been perfect for her needs. No software problems at all; the updated drivers I dled work fine. I would recommend this product wholeheartedly.

i was looking around for a decent webcam for videochat with people overseas and i saw a great deal on this camera during the black friday sale i was able to get it for $[...] with a mail in rebate for $[...] . I ve only had it for a few days; here s what i found so far: - the crispness of the picture was acceptable, with no blurring occuring even when i would move my hand or my head fast - sometimes colors seem to wash out, which happened to me when i was using it in a blue room with lots of natural light coming from the window. other users say that you can fix the hue and saturation of the computer but i yet to find those controls. - the built in mic is a great plus if your computer doesnt t have a built in microphone like my laptop. it only picks up minimal background noise - the stability is not that big of an issue if your computer is flat on a desk or any flat surface. it can be problematic especially if you re like me and you use your laptop on the couch or in bed, since it is just perched on your monitor very much like a bird on a wire - installing the cd took around 15 minutes, then i ran into some problems because initally i couldnt get the microphone and the speakers to work. my brother had to fiddle around with my computer settings. At least it didnt crash my computer 1.73 pentium, 1 gig, vista basic like it did with some other users - it worked well with skype audio and yahoo video , however the image was kind of laggy, with the picture freezing every 5 mins or so the person i was chatting with was in asia and on DSL . it might just be because of my computer though, so i m going to try it on my sister s computer and on our desktop. i have also yet to try it on videochat here in the US. - the extra features like the avatar and the on hold pictures are kinda fun, but can slow down your computer - the camera also comes with a plastic privacy blind thats looks like sunglasses for the camera lens which you can attach and swivel up and down. it was kind of flimsy and was easily removed.overall, its an ok camera, and one that i would probably keep, however i wouldn t have bought it if it weren t on sale.

We purchased the Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 WebCam specifically to chat with friends in China over the holidays. Previous reviews of this product were helpful in choosing. Now I can confirm them. The Pro 5000 generated a clear image and worked well with Skype, with minimal lag. We downloaded the latest software from the Logitech website instead of using the one that came with the product. No problem, very handy, very affordable.

This is the first webcam I have ever purchased. I bought it solely to communicate with someone that is long distance. I have a relatively new iMac G5 with Mac OS X 10.4.11 software running on it. After downloading skype, it was plug and go. Easy to use and sufficient for communicating with friends, especially for the reasonable price. Because it is on a mac, any of the additional features the camera may come with do not work, no zoom or anything, so if you are looking for something with a lot of features this is not for you. I am happy with the purchase as it does what I need it to do but it would be nice if it did more. It sits fine on my flat panel monitor but sufficient lighting is important as it otherwise tends to be a little dark. There is a slight delay when I move around... as I said good for communication with friends and family but that's about it. Also, sound is fine with the built in speakers but if you desire to speak privately - you may wish to look into headphones so everyone else isn't in on your conversation. I have not tried any out to know which are compatible...

I agree with an earlier review about "good hardware, bad software." Never got this to work reliably on my XP system and ended up returning it. It would forget it had a camera installed after reboots or come up in applications as "In Use" when nothing else was using it. Never got it to work successfully with Skype.After researching the Logitech support forums it appears there are some serious problems with a fair number of customers. It either installs and works fine or it doesn't. And if it doesn't, the forum basically states "unresolvable" for most of the problems raised (like the 'in use' and 'loses device between system restart.' It also appears there is only one solitary engineer supporting the software.In summary, it may be worth a try *if* you can return it. If it works for you it seems to be a nice camera, if it doesn't, don't waste 3 days like I did reinstalling, switching usb ports and boards, trying different versions of the drivers, etc. Just send it back.

Originally I bought this to use it with Skype in linux (gentoo 2007.0). It is supported to a minimal extent (by a 3rd party driver, not logitech), and wouldn't work with Skype. The various hoops that had to be jumped though to get the small amount of functionality out of it that I did were certainly not worth it.I ended up trading it with someone who had a QC Pro 4000. That camera uses the pwc driver, and works just fine (skype, mplayer, whatever). If you are using linux, I would suggest going for a 3000, 4000, or a 9000.On the upside, this worked fine in windows (XP), so my trading it was no big deal. He didn't even have to change the driver/software from Logitech to make it work. We have used it in skype from windows many times with no problem.

Did nobody at Logitech test the software with this camera with Windows XP SP2? I mean, HELLO! I'm an experienced PC user. When I loaded the drivers/software that came with this camera, it sent Windows into a crashing frenzy! There were numerous issues with Windows' Data Execution Prevention (DEP). When searching on the Logitech forums, I saw numerous posts about this, with the basic final outcome being: "Uh, we know about it, but we're not going to say anything about it and we have no recourse how to make our product work." I found a way to disable DEP. This still didn't fully work, but I was able at least to make the camera run briefly, and the video looked good, but what's the use if your system won't function properly with it installed? I actually called the Logitech customer service line, and the guy I talked to, besides sounding as if he'd rather be doing anything but what he was doing, tried to blame it on Microsoft or a hardware error. He wasn't even aware of the DEP issues that were being discussed over a long period of time on his own company's forums! That Logitech is a crack outfit! Another option was to load just the drivers, and not the accompanying software. When I did that there were no more DEP issues, but every time I booted up, I got an error saying Windows Explorer had encountered an error and had to close! I'll tell you what's closing; the lid to the box containing this camera, because it's going back! After uninstalling the camera's drivers and software, Windows was happy as can be. I will be to when I get rid of this system-destroying nightmare and buy another product that somebody bothered to test!

I use the QuickCam Pro 5000 on my Ubuntu Linux desktop and use Skype to communicate with friends and family in far off places.The camera works very well for what I use it for. If it wasn't for the fact that I recently had the opportunity to use a QuickCam Pro 9000, I would probably be more enthusiastic about it.The 9000 was running on a Mac (running version 10.5.1) and offered considerably better video quality. I was instantly jealous that I had given this away as a gift.Note that in both cases I was running the camera without any of the Logitech software installed, they worked "out of the box" on both machines.If you are looking to just get your feet wet with a web cam, I would whole-heartedly recommend the 5000 but personally would not hesitate to spend the extra dollars on the better quality 9000 if I was making a new purchase today.

Read the great reviews here so I bought two Pro 5000 webcams. Installed with the included software (v9.5) and got the notorious BSOD (blue screen). Tried on 2 different boxes, both nearly new mid-range Dells; same result. Software installs fine but as soon as the computer detects the webcam hardware it barfs. Forums on the web (including Logitech) show that this problem has a high occurence rate and not just on Dells.There is a new version (10.0.0 Build 1439) downloadable from the Logitech website; surprisingly, it installed cleanly and smoothly with no problems. BTW, there is no upgrade path from v9.x to 10.0, it has to be a new install.Performance: works quite well (at least with Skype 2.0), especially in low-light settings. For high back-light issues, override the automatic setting under Advanced Settings and adjust the gain. Face-tracking was bothersome, too distracting with all the zoom-in/zoom-out movement, I eventually disabled it. Automatically recognizes resident software that could use the webcam (Skype, MSN/AOL/Yahoo/Windows Messenger). If you opt to not use the headset you will find that the echo cancellation works well. v10 software records in wmv format, not avi (v 9.5), for those who care. Avatar concept is interesting. Not happy that the included software didn't work but pleased with the final outcome.My advice would be to create a system restore point (XP) before you start this process because there are some very frustrated end-users reporting unresolved problems with v9.5 and v10.0 ranging from corrupted OSes, BSODs and 100% CPU utilization(v10.0). Most of the problems seem to be with the newer machines running XP. My CPU utilization rate is high (50%) for the quickcam10.exe process, this is on a Pentium D820 dual core running XP SP2. Easily met the system requirements and one would think that with the CPU resources allocated to this process I would get the advertised 30 fps, not so, there is definitely a noticeable lag when moderate movement occurs.Bottom line, works very well on my 2 PCs with Logitech v10 software. I would give a 4 star for performance, however with the reported problems and potential user research time for compatibility issues I will downgrade to an overall 3 star rating.
