I purchased this webcam for my niece because I had already bought one a few months back. And loved it. Now we talk daily and we have the most wonderful reception. I did not realize there was such a difference in webcams. Some of my friends I can hardly see. The picture is very distorted. I give this one a 10. In fact, I'm going to buy one for my sister as well.

This webcam is fantastic! I have been using it for a little more than a year now and it is simply great. I use it for making YouTube videos, skyping, chatroulette, those kind of things, and so far it has been very good to me. The stand is very good if you have a laptop, but you can also jimmy rig it to sit on other things if you are so inclined. The software that comes with it is good and comes with some cool effects like B&W, sepia, etc. I just started recording my videos for YouTube in HD after realizing that I had been recording in the lower quality format.Here is a link demonstrating it's HD performance (max 1280x720p) in low light: [...]Here is a video showing it in 960x544 resolution, I believe, in bright light: [...]

While reading the product descriptions and looking at the pictures I was concerned with the bulk of the Lifecam, but upon receipt the diameter is around the size of a roll of quarters, but shorter. The camera is actually really sleek, lightweight, and modern looking. I like the blue 'activity,' light over red. It does not have a lens cover, so if privacy is a concern you'll need to point the camera towards a wall.The rubber camera stand/clip is well designed. I would have preferred the front catch to be a bit longer, but I understand if the monitor or laptop is small a larger surface area to catch the front could obscure part of the screen, especially on some newer displays where it is edge to edge screen real estate.Installation of the device was straight forward. Put the CD in, but then it just starts to download from the internet for updated files right away. It took quite some time to install - upwards of 20 minutes and I have a fast connection. It required a reboot and the lifecam program sat at 'not responding,' for 1 minute after reboot before snapping on.The clarity of this camera is amazing, especially in low light conditions. I had a 3 light stand light in the room and turned it off, so the only light was from my monitor at night and the clarity of the camera still showed me clearly and in sharp detail-defects and all. Remember when HDTV first launched and unprepared local news crews would have all their imperfections, caked on makeup, and bad hair show up and people were shocked? The clarity of this camera reminded me of that while looking at my own moving image.The software feels clunky, but offers many options for resolution, mic controls, and advanced controls.This is my first experience with a HD computer camera and I was impressed. It probably won't be too long before laptops and monitors also have built in HD cameras, but if you want to have HD now and enjoy the widescreen format and higher details, then this camera would work out well.Another idea would be to send the HD camera to a girlfriend, family member, military friend, etc., because I'd prefer seeing them in higher detail than the reverse.

If you've used a webcam in the last 5-10 years you basically know the drill. You plug in the camera and you see a junky image show up in the screen that's slightly blurry and when you move creates some nasty blur.Well you can forget most of that with this camera. It's 720p, which means the resolution is 1280x720, nothing staggering, but a lot crisper than the standard 320x240 or 640x480 cameras (it actually has about 4x the pixel count as a normal webcam). While it is truly 720p hd in resolution, don't expect something like you'd see on your 720p television. Because the camera has glass optics and a good camera, it resolves most of the other issues with webcams. Low light can still be somewhat of an issue.As far as aesthetics, it looks quite good, although included webcams in cameras sit flush and probably look better, if you don't have one built in you really don't have a choice. There is a blue light that will turn on when the camera is on, which is handy for people who get freaked out having a camera always pointed at them. It has a rubber mount, which worked on the lcd I tried it on, and looks like it would work on almost any of them.The software was easy to install, took longer than I thought (maybe 10 minutes), and after that it updated itself (firmware) and was ready to use with anything that could use a camera. Some will enjoy the 'add-ons' that you can put on the screen. You can do all kinds of fun house mirror style effects on the software (and the image that's transmitted on skype), and add objects like hats/mustaches/etc that automatically sit on your head and track with it, pretty amazing. I've seen older versions of this from microsoft that weren't as good, but let you download additional hats/glasses/etc, so maybe that'll come. I do wish it had mac support, but it's clearly stated it doesn't, so it's not a ding against it per se, just would have been nice.Overall it's probably not worth replacing your built in camera if you have one for this, but if you don't have one already, this is a good one to get.

Seriously one of the best cameras I've used I've gone through three cheaper cameras and one that was more expensive and by far this has gone above and beyond my expectations and wows every one I talk to on Skype. All my friends ask me where I got my camera and think I payed 100 for it. On Skype it's set up is automatic and the installation was fast, easy and practically effortless. Would definitely recommende to anyone and would buy it again in a heart beat!

We frequently use Skype for video chats with family and wanted to upgrade our older VX3000 lifecam for an HD model. What a difference and well worth the money. Not only is the picture quality greatly improved but the wide angle lens is a big plus as well. Installation was easy enough with Windows 7 - 64 bit PC. The flexible stand also worked very well to conform to the top of my flat screen TV, it stays in place much better than the VX3000 did. We generally sit about 10' from the camera and I am told the sound is clear.My only problem is I no longer seem to be able to access the webcam settings from Skype or even from the control panel. I'm not sure if there simply are no user adjustable settings or if I am just looking in the wrong place... not a big deal since I haven't had a need to try and change anything anyway.The autofocus does tend to go nuts once in awhile when we have multiple people in the picture.I would not recommend this camera for use without having the recommended bandwidth.

So very pleased with this Microsoft Lifecam Cinema HD webcam overall. 10 minutes after opening the package I was up and running with no issues during the installation. I was prompted to do a camera firmware update from Microsoft which I did and it went smoothly. The computer I have this on is a fairly new 2009 model Acer 5534 Laptop with AMD L310 64 bit dual-core processor and 4G factory installed ram. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit using one of the Aero themes in Windows 7. I can take incredibly detailed snap shots all the way up to the maximum 1280x720 HD resolution and they are truly superb. Note I said snapshots. For widescreen HD video at 1280x720 my fairly new Acer does not have enough horsepower while even though the video is clear and sharp there is a lag between lip movement and audio. This is unacceptable. Other reviewers with more powerful PCs have seen this issue and in like manner complained. The actual camera is tiny compared to what I expected from the ads but no matter it works a treat and I highly recommend it. The included Lifecam software IMHO is fine except it does not allow for microphone selection and one is stuck with the MS mic on the camera. It picks up 'OK' and is very usable but cannot rival an accessory mic that can be located where needed. I have made several videos and taken many snaps and this MS webcam is great. I can take perfect videos at 800x448 with no apparent lip sync lag. The included MS software as I mentioned is fine for me..however it does not offer a timer for unattended snapshots. I have found a new use for my wireless mouse! After relocating the mouse reciever toward the front edge of my desk I can use it to click off snapshots remotely exactly when I am ready and it has been a good workaround for what I felt was a missing feature in the MS software. I have Skype but have not tried it yet that way. I have used this camera for Yahoo Messenger (v10.x.x) video chat with really super results. I am 100% pleased and highly recommend this webcam to everyone.

Quite frankly this camera sucks when using in Windows 7 64 bit.To give it credit in all respects the camera is superior. Beautiful image,beautiful color, beautiful motion at low light settings.Unfortunately no matter how many times it's reset, whether run directly from computer or USB Hub,or Computer is rebooted before use;In Windows Messenger the sound cuts out. When using the software that comes with it to record a video in ANY resolution from 640 up the sound cuts out.My machine is very new, never had any other Video Camera hooked to it.Sometimes I'll luck out and can record a video. Trying to record New Years Videos and unplugging and re-attaching camera before every use 70% of the Videos came out OK.Could get it to do IM Video Chat with Google but not on MS MESSENGER, which is kind of ironic considering the camera is made by Microsoft.I am running Windows 7 64 Bit with a Creative Titanium Fatality XI Card.Sorry Amazon this one is being packed up and going back to you. Hopefully the Logitech C910 will be better.

I bought this camera before leaving the country for a few months, to keep in touch with family and friends. I read the reviews before I purchased the webcam and the reviews weren't very convincing but I decided to try it out for myself because I liked the appearance of it and had been looking at it for awhile. The reviews I read were mostly right, the compatibility of this webcam with others suck! Pros: appearance, easy installation and instructions, easy docking and storage, clear picture quality, auto image-adjust. Cons: hard to find features & does not connect well with other webcams, skyping my family was very difficult as they said I appeared very choppy and had slow movements. This happened the majority of the times I attempted; besides with logitech webcams but most of my family have mac laptops or pre-installed webcams! Only worked 100% well with windows live messenger.

I moved to Win7 from Vista Home Premium, then to 7 Ultimate, and my Intel 6000 webcam seemed to work fine. Recently, it suddenly said it was there in one place, but it wasn't there according to the error messages. I've seen this before, usually a driver vs. OS problem. I had updated the driver a few months ago, so wasn't expecting a problem. Finding no solution online, I decided to upgrade to a better webcam that WAS compatible with 7. My HD TV is well-appreciated, as is my HP monitor (full HD), so I hoped a better webcam was available. After research, I found the Lifecam Cinema, and read ALL the reviews (including non-Amazon). Fortunately, I have an i7 920, 12 Gb of DDR3 1333 RAM (overkill, but it's nice to have), and a good Dell m435mt desktop. Receiving the 720p unit, I wondered if it would be an issue with the 1080p monitor. It installed smoothely, I had a minor issue of figuring out how to get it going (apparently it took a little more than 3 minutes to load first time, and less than 10 seconds since then), and the picture was MUCH better than the 6000. Low light is good but not great. Only minor blur when I move quickly. The issues I'd read about appeared to be more individual units or installations (computer, hardware, etc.) than any general problem. After a week, it's running fine. I don't use Skype, and my (up to) 8 Mb/s (between 6 and 7 download tested, usual 760K upload) cable broadband so far has had no problem. I got it for $10 less it was than on sale at Office Depot for (the cheapest that week) by going through Amazon Prime. It is 7 compatible, though I wish it said it was certified for it (better). So unless something happens in the future, I am pleased with this upgrade in capabilities.

I bought this originally to skype with x-girlfriend. The camera is very well designed and functions great. The picture quality is incredible. I continue to hear feedback from everyone that why is my picture so clear. I actually went ahead and ordered one for my sister since she saw what my picture quality looked like after skyping. The camera also has a built in microphone so it was redundant to get a separate microphone. The stand is pretty cool. Don't know hold perfectly if you were to move the screen. But, is pretty stable if you don't tilt your laptop screen. Very pleased with this buy. Microsoft delivers a great product!

I bought this camera based on a lot of reviews implying that it works equally well on Mac OS. It does not. The camera itself works, as a plug and play kind of device, but the fact that there's no software support is a HUGE drawback. Without the software, light adjustments, auto-focus, etc do not work! Even in a moderately lit room the image is extremely over-exposed. During the day I must close the blinds for the image to be visible, and at night I can only use a low watt lamp to light the room. Even tried using a third party software called iGlasses, which only produced moderate benefits.Mac users, spend the extra $ to get a supported cam. Wish I had the first time.

Video: I uploaded a video but it disappeared in cyberspace. I knew I was too sexy for the web.27" iMac, Intel Core 2 Duo, E7600@3.06GHz, 3GB ram, Windows XP/OSX (Boot Camp). I got the LifeCam camera to work without software on the mac side but the picture was washed out and I couldn't change resolutions. This review is for the XP side.I installed the CD that came with the camera before plugging it in. When prompted to download software, I exited and started the camera using the software that installed from the CD.To record my video, I chose a resolution the same as would be used by Amazon. I could have gone one step smaller or many steps larger (up to 1280 x 720 HD). I tried out all the resolutions and found no flaws in my recordings.You can easily adjust the picture quality with sliders for brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, white balance, & backlight compensation but the default worked fine. If your picture is too light, try unplugging and reconnecting the usb plug.Zoom factor up to 10; I selected 4 to start the video. I used pan & tilt sliders to center my head.You have a bunch of effects to choose from that delighted my office colleagues and I choose one to somewhat mask my identity. The software doesn't include options to alter your voice but I could have used my Logitech G35 headphone to have done that (for your ransom videos).It saved snapshots as jpg, audio recordings as wma, and movies as mmv. All media were stored under My Documents - My Pictures - LifeCam Files.I pulled the wmv video into a movie editing program (used Camtasia but others would work) to crop the front of the video but otherwise left it unchanged.Absolutely love this camera. Before I tested it, I had planned to give it to a colleague making training videos but ultimately decided he could buy his own. Instead, I'll start incorporating live video into the screen captures I already use in my training.Comment to this if you know the trick for getting it to work as well on the mac side.

The Microsoft LifeCam Cinema is hands down the best webcam that I have tried so far. I have used a number of webcams over the year with Skype to communicate with friends and family living and traveling abroad. Those webcams certainly set the bar fairly low.The LifeCam Cinema shines where the other webcams I have tested have failed. The auto-focus is quick to focus on different items placed in front of the cam producing clear photos in regular lighting conditions. Under lower-light conditions, the color quality does suffer slightly butIn order to produce the highest quality video, the LifeCam Cinema does seem to require a considerable amount of processing power. In my first attempt, I used the webcam with a laptop that had a dual-core T2080 (1.73GHz) processor and 1GB ram, integrated video, and Vista. At 720p, the laptop was chugging as hard as it could and the video stuttered a bit. This isn't too surprising as the laptop doesn't seem to do too well when playing a 720p video file either. Placing the webcam on a desktop Core2Duo with 4GB ram, dedicated graphics, and Win7 64-bit, the video recording performance was smooth.Another plus that I have enjoyed is that this is widescreen! Considering all laptops and desktop screens come in widescreen flavors nowadays, its nice that webcams are finally catching up to fit in the expanded screen real estate.The built-in mic leaves a bit to be desired. If you want clearer sound quality, I would recommend purchasing a separate headset. Despite this drawback, this seems to be the best webcam I have seen yet and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Hello, before I begin, here are the 5 systems I tested this MS product on:1)(PC) Intel DUO 3.6GHz Extreme,3GB Ram, 500GB HD, Radeon HD2600, Snow Leopard.2)(LAPTOP) Intel Duo T2250, 2.5GB Ram, 320GB HD, Intel 945Grap, Windows7.3)(PC) Intel Dual core 2.6GHz, 2GB Ram, 320GB HD, NVIDIA 9400GT, Windows Vista.4)(PC)Intel Celeron 2.8 GHz, 3GB Ram, 80GB HD, NVIDIA 512MB, Windows XP PRO.5)(PC)AMD Turion X2 64, 8GB Ram, 1TB HD, Radeon 4890 HD 1080p, Windows7.In systems 1,2,3 and 5 the LifeCam Cinema performed well when sharing resources with Logitech Orbit HD, in both systems I ran 2 heavy data apps as well as 2 communication apps at the same time and they performed very well, the only thing I noticed is that, lifecam will take more than 50% of CPU resources unlike Logitech Orbit, that at the Highest video compression will only take no more than 30 to 33%, in low light Orbit is still the champion but cinema is more define even while darker, the highes HD is only 720p in LifeCam Cinema while Orbit can go as high as your Video card can support it, on a celeron system, is not a good idea to install the lifecam Cinema or even try to run it on any higher resolution than the one it allows you to run in, no more than two apps should be run and never try running two camera apps or the system will fail and crach, on windows Ultimate and Snow Leopard(apple), you will see warning signs on highest to the HD resolutions, only if you are sure your that your display hardware and drivers can handle the compression load use them, now, on high end system with lots of memory and HD display, make sure you setup your display resolution to the highes HD before you install the LifeCam, otherwise you will see the warning signs as well, on HD laptops you take full advantage of the Lifecam Cinema.On Windows XP PRO, you have to install and download the proper drivers, also, the HD resolution can only work if your display drivers can compress and hold high resolutions, in other words, don't espect to get HD video if your video card is standard and your memory is less than 3 GB of Ram, overall, the LifeCam is the 2nd true HD only this time made by Microsoft( I am NOT a microsoft hardware fan), the camera is only 720p HD and I am a 1080P HD guy, so, for now is a good product, I bet logitech will comeback with something better this one, lol, and I think you should not pay more than $80.00 for this product.

I recently purchased this camera because my new Thinkpad didn't have one built in. Annoying, but not strictly speaking relevant to this review.The 720p Lifecam is a snap to install on Windows 7 - essentially plug it in and in 20 seconds you have a functioning webcam. I primarily use it with Google's video chat, and it works well there. The only problem I have with it at all is that (especially in poor light), it can have difficulty deciding where to focus, and the exposure can continually ratchet up and down. I find it annoying while looking at it picture-in-picture, and I'm sure the people on the other end find it even more annoying.That said, it does give significantly better quality than the tiny webcams in most laptops or monitors. If you can find it for a reasonable price, it does improve the chatting experience (at least for the person on the other end).

I purchased this product to use for a web based talk show I host. I figured that the 720 HD Widescreen format would enhance the show. The best thing I can say about this device was that it didn't try and murder me like it did my computer. It appears that there is a known conflict with a Windows 7 64-bit machine. Microsoft does not tell you this. The device never worked right but when I installed an updated driver the machine started and then cycled off. This kept happening. Even "Ian," and "Pam" Microsoft's crack tech team couldn't help me resolve the issue. I kept telling them that they had to abandon the flow chart they were reading from and get me to an actual technician. Well I had to wipe my hard drive clean. On the bright side I did solve the problem. I went out and bought a Logitech Pro 9000.The one time I actually did get the device to work, it was out of focus and any movement only made it worse.I am usually a fan of Microsoft Products. They don't have all the bells and whistles of other products, but they usually work...especially on machines running Windows. They're usually pretty plug and play. This is going to make me seriously think about purchasing another Microsoft peripheral.

I purchased the LifeCam Cinema for use on my MacBook running 10.6.4. The camera is UVC compliant so it literally is just plug and play. Form factor is great, it's a tiny camera with a useful flexible stand. The camera stand is strong enough to support the camera on its own, or clip it to the top of your monitor.Unfortunately autofocus and brightness control are Windows specific drivers. Intending to use this in class as a digital projector, not having autofocus makes it impossible to use.QuickTime X immediately supports it, you just need to select it from the drop down options, and it records in full resolution which is fantastic. iChat, PhotoBooth and I believe Skype all default to 640 X 480 pixels (0.3Mp) per frame or pic meaning a HD webcam is basically useless in these cases. So if you're thinking of using this as a HD Webcam, save your money and opt for a standard webcam until HD is supported. Also Quicktime X is the only app 16:9 is supported as the rest default to 4:3. I'm sure updates are coming soon with so many HD webcams already out in the market.Questions? Comment them and I'll try and respond if I can help.

Out of the box, the first thing I noticed about this little camera was that there was a paper notice over the USB port warning users not to plug it in UNTIL they installed the hardware. As someone that has done a lot of end user support and repair, this is simply brilliant and will solve installation problems for what is probably the majority of folks.It took maybe 15 minutes to install and was very straight forward. It does prompt you for Windows Live components to be installed, and I found myself grumbling about that a bit - MS never stops trying to make things almost too easy, while in the process shoving their web products down your nose, do they?The user interface is extremely easy and I like it very much. It is ultra-intuitive. You can take pictures, record audio, or make short videos to share. The audio quality really had me impressed - I find it to be very clear and rich. The file size is nice too, for instance, I sent a video message to my dad that was a few minutes long, and it clocked in at 1,293kb - EASILY email-able without the end user having to add any compression!At first I wasn't so happy with the picture, but the settings tab let me lower the saturation - that's all it took in my case to make a much better picture, the default was too high here. Also I was able to zoom/pan/tilt the camera until the picture was JUST what I wanted it to be, and not the naked mannequin that I have in my background. :)It works with a variety of chat products, but it encourages you to use Windows Live. It works with Skype.I am not finding it to be resource intensive at all. I'm running it on an older computer with no problems, BUT this computer runs mainly MS products/software by design and I find that can really make a difference.The one thing I really don't LIKE about this webcam - is that I want a shutter. I want to be able to shutter it closed when I am not using it.

I purchased the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema from Amazon after receiving a gift certificate. After looking in stores Amazon offered the best price. The camera itself is well built it has an aluminum body and glass lens so it is sturdy. It's easy to mount on my flat panel monitor. Installation was easy however I recommend going to the Microsoft website for software updates and firmware updates. Image quality was outstanding and it performs extremely well in low light, this cam is head and shoulders above my old Logitech QuickCam Express but that's like comparing a KIA to a Mercedez. One thing I have learned is that most cameras will perform much better if you provide enough lighting so lighting is everything!!! On the down side make sure your computer is fast enough you should definitely have a dual core processor and plenty of RAM. I have an older computer so I was getting a lot of "Lifecam.exe has stopped working" messages but after I uninstalled the Microsoft software it seemed to have fixed the problem. In the end I purchased a Logitech C500 from Best Buy to see if the problem persisted. The Logitech software works well with Windows 7 which is funny because you figure Microsoft software should work well with Windows 7 but the Logitech software seems to have a lot less issues with the OS. I have also used the LifeCam Cinema with another newer laptop and I didn't have any of the above mentioned issues. Overall an excellent webcam just make sure you have a fast computer to match it up with.

Overall, for the price, there isn't a webcam out there that you can expect this quality. The 720p video is excellent and is at an excellent frame rate. I use it daily for video conferencing and have recorded lengthy (1+ hour) videos on it and the quality has been spectacular. There is an issue, that has been mentioned, which is its auto-focus. The odd thing is that the focus works amazing when you're moving, however if you sit still for a long time it seems to lose you in the background every once and while and will try to refocus until you move or it finds you (which usually doesn't take too long, nor does this happen extremely frequently.) Also, the corrective white balance can be off, but that is to be expected with these types of cameras. Overall, for the price the quality is amazing and can not be beat.

I purchased this item because I wanted a better quality webcam than the built-in one on my laptop. Built-in is so convenient, but the lighting in my room is not so good, and even with good light the quality wasn't anything to skype home about. With this webcam however, the picture seems to always be clear, even when in very poor lighting. I have had a little bit of a problem with the auto-focus in lower light ... sometimes even after it's focused it doesn't think it is, and refocuses. Aside from that the only problem I think I've had is that sometimes the connection speeds on skype aren't fast enough for high quality calling ... but I'm sure that the video quality is much better than the built in camera in any case.

This camera provided me a remote view of my home 24/7 while we were away for several months. It operated very reliably (other webcams that have been given this task have failed repeatedly after days or weeks) and didn't need to be reset. I used Yawcam software with Windows XP to keep a streaming version of the video available, as well as a static shot every 30 seconds that was saved to the hard drive and uploaded to my Dropbox.The camera itself is even attractive, far more than the giant orbs or weird pancakes I've seen before. I didn't quite believe the "HD" quality, and of course you're not going to get the kind of images you'd get out of a REAL HD video camera, but it's miles better than Standard Definition. The autofocus works well and does a very good job of attaining sharp images, an absolute chore on manually-focused webcams. The camera was easy to mount with its articulating, bendable base. I clamped it somewhere sturdy and it held tight the whole time. The only annoyance was the bright blue LED on the front, which initially was reflected by the window the camera was aimed out of, though a piece of electrical tape remedied that pretty quickly.All in all, I'm glad to see USB webcams starting to reach pretty-darn-good quality and plan on putting a couple of these around my home for security as well as recording and sharing the beautiful view behind the house. (Particularly useful for days when I'm too busy to leave my computer long enough to look outside!)

Bought this hoping to step up from my laptop built in camera. Can't say i'm happy with it.Positive:* Looks good* With good lighting and right software/config the picture is goodNegative:* Pain to install, software is clumsy and slow* Doesn't work with Mac* HD in Skype is fiddly and unreliable (yes, i know it's a hack, but still, it's one of the primary uses for any webcam, so...)* Couldn't get HD video to work in messenger either* Low light performance is better than my old webcam, but still not good (there is a definite lag in low light conditions)Bottom line: if you are looking for an HD webcam that you can just plug in and get on with it - look elswhere. If you are an IT guy with time to spare and likes the challenge - then this one is right up your alley.

Straight from the box, jacked into USB with no software installed, it works in Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 perfectly, in 720p. I'm using it under Ubuntu - there it's simple plug-n-play, after plugging it in I just point capture software (Cheese, VLC, motion, etc) at /dev/video0 and it's working, 720p. With Win7 I just plugged it in and double-clicked on 'Lifecam Cinema' in 'Devices and Printers' or 'Computer'. (didn't try any video chat in Win7) Autofocus and auto-exposure are both handled entirely by the webcam, so far in a variety of test situations both have performed admirably.The included software I found annoying - it insists the dual-core atom system isn't sufficient for the three highest resolutions (up to 720p) but they work just fine outside that software. Granted the "add a silly hat|nose|mask" feature takes significant CPU, but I don't see myself wanting that - ever. Anyway as said I use it under Ubuntu, where everything I've tried so far has been quite happy and capable at 720p.Autofocus is a little irritating, if the cam thinks it needs to refocus it sometimes adjusts the focus all the way out (total blur) then snaps in to clear focus. And the webcam plays hell with the BIOS on my Intel D510MO motherboard - with this cam plugged in it takes 35 seconds from power-on for the bios splashscreen to appear, without the cam it's 4-5 seconds. That could be the fault of the BIOS, I've not booted any other system with it already plugged in, so I've not deducted any stars from my rating for this.Autofocus works as close as a few inches away - I was able to get a clear snapshot of my thumbprint. (I actually used it as an on-screen magnifier one night trying to read a fine-printed map)

The Microsoft LifeCam comes packed with some nice surprises. Its a given that more time is going to be spent on removing the camera from its packaging then the actual installation. The LifeCam is fitted with an expandable mounting base and a 6' USB cable. After popping in the software cd, the camera was up and running in a matter of a minutes.The much hyped Windows Live video calling network package with its special effects and avatars is probably an okay add on for some but not for us. Personally I find it too intrusive. Its not required to get the webcam up and running. Other chat networks work fine without it. It paired well with both Meebo and Google's G Chat without stalling or interruptions.The aluminum chassis is encased in a black & silver finish hard plastic body. The swivel head feature is a nice add on. Its 720p sensor pushes true HD video up to 30 frames per second. The glass optics are a good quality in house product. I was very impressed by the clarity and sharpness of image transmission. Auto focus was on point. In low light, this camera did better then I expected.The microphone located directly on top of the unit picks up even the faintest of whispers. The touch dial button is useless unless the Windows Live program is activated. A broadband connection is a given if this program is to function properly. It goes without saying that a fast system is required to achieve the higher resolutions. The five year old Windows XP juiced antique in the corner just isn't going to cut it.The LifeCam is packed with an attached 6' USB cable, software CD, and a three year limited product warranty. Overall for the price and features, I find the LifeCam to be a step up over some of the other products out there. Undoubtedly it delivers on the basics and more.

Overall, great picture quality; excellent mic pick-up; built well and mounts any screen with a wonderfully flexible mount.BUT - picture quality and functionality lacks compared to Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF Auto Focus System. I bought the Logitech QuickCam, the Microsoft Lifecam, and the Logitech c910 for use in a classroom for teacher observations and skype-calling. Guarentee you will be happier with the Logitech Orbit - it tracks your face, does motion-based recordings... much better.PS I hate giving reviews and have no time to do it - so you better listen to this one :)

I reviewed prevously ratings of this device before I decided to purchase. For the cost and the quality, I don't think I could have picked a better unit. My kids love it as well as their mother. The kids and I live in the northeast while their mother lives in the southeast. Other than transmission problems with the ISP's, the resolution and voice are fantastic. It's lightweight and conforms to any monitor or laptop with the flex-mount. I haven't used the extension cable I purchased with the unit but I'm interested to see how well the additional length affects the quality. Overall I have to give this unit high marks.

This is a great camera. Quality hardware and easy to use. I was positively surprised how easy the installation was. All I had to do was plugging in the camera and Windows handled it from there on. I never needed the driver CD. I can confirm that this camera works without flaws on Windows 7 (64bit). I mainly use it for Skype and this camera works in HD even overseas. I am very happy with this buy and recommend it to anyone else.

Having already installed MS LifeCam software from my previous MS Webcam, installation was uber-simple. Plug in, it works. Doesn't get any easier than that. Picture quality if great, and the auto focus feature is cool. Now I can put something up close for someone to see and it just focuses on it, take it away and it's back on me. Very happy with this cam.

Excellent camera. Plugged it in and it just worked, HD video out of the box experience. No setup needed for Skype, it was detected! Overall a great value for the money. Bought one for my mother after having mine for a week or so.

Probably an OK device if you can install it. But if you make a mistake installing it (plug in USB too soon) with Windows XP then you might as well buy something else because it won't install. Also, installation requires install of a lot of Microsoft Live bloatware you don't need.

I bought this web cam for my PC. I got it because it claimed to have 720p resolution. I haven't tried recording with this camera, but on Skype, the resolution didn't look so great. It may have been my internet connection, but it just really didn't look like I had hoped it would. I also didn't use the mic, so I can't say much for it, but I assume it would be a pretty typical run of the mill desktop mic. Good camera for the price though, I just wanted a bit more from the picture quality.

I've tried this on a Windows 7 system at work, and the image looks excellent - it worked right out of the box, plug and chug. I don't want to repeat what others have said about its general features and functions. Suffice it to say, it's not as good as a true HD camcorder, and has a bit of trouble adjusting to changing light conditions - you wouldn't want to try and make a movie with this - but it takes pretty decent pictures, and much better video than any webcam I've ever tried. It would work very well for video chatting and webcasting, though as others have noted you may have to do some tweaking for various programs like Skype.I'm writing this for those who, like me, work primarily on Macs and are looking for a higher quality alternative to the built in iSight camera. Sure this is advertised for Windows, but there's usually a workaround for most peripheral devices like this to work on most operating systems. In this case, I've tried to find one and can't (after an extensive search, and after trying several drivers I thought might work in lieu of a driver designed for this device). I think it's a shame that manufacturers of devices like this don't just create drivers so they'll work for everyone. This is recognized by and will work on a Mac, but automatic adjustments don't function properly without the software. The autofocus is funky, and video tends to be highly overexposed. I found that I can only really use this for taking pictures or iChat or video if I turn off the light in my office, but then things look a bit grainier than they should.Recommended for Windows users (note that you need a pretty powerful machine to take full advantage of this); Mac lovers need to look elsewhere.

My son in law, who is a videographer , talked me in to buying the lifecam and signing up for skype. I am so glad he did. The time we spend visiting with each other is so precious. The quality of the pictures on the screen is so good. the sound is so clear, we can reach out and touch each other. It's the next best thing to being there. I haven't reached my family on another continent yet but I am looking forward to doing that in the very near furure.
