Best picture, rubbish stand  |
I bought this web cam as my previous one did not work under low light conditions. This had the most fantastic picture with vivid colours. But, unfortunatly, you cant angle the stand. I could either display a picture of my forehead or my chin, great!Was sad to take it back, but now have the Logitech QuickCam Pro4000 which I dont think is anywhere near as good :(

The best I have ever used!  |
Ive had more webcams than RAM upgrades, and the Quickcam Pro 4000 is certainly the best yet. I read and re-read the reviews for several cams and decided upon this one because of what I had read regarding picture quality. I wasnt to be disappointed.Even in a darkened room with a background light, the quality is very good. But the real beauty of this versatile cam is the auto-zoom and the face following feature, a little unnerving at first, but it makes for excellent quality video-streaming. I have it sat on top of my flat screen LCD monitor, the included bendy-hook is most welcome, as flat surfaces are a premium on most work desks. The included software is adequate, and the ability to take video or still image, with a timer is also a boon. I havent installed the movie editor, as I dont want to make movies, but the basic camera manager is more than adequate for most needs. The only complaint I have, is that the picture quality is so high, warts and all is the only way to describe the effect. A great camera at a more than reasonable price for what you get. Logitech have done it again!

Buy the other one  |

The camera is very good itself, but the face tracking thing doesnt work very well, and the "professional" program has few features and doesnt work very well. My suggestion is: buy a Logitech Quickam Messenger. Cheaper, but same thing without the face tracking and crappy "pro" software.
