Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000

This product is user -friendly, ready to go out of the box. It comes with instructional software and takes up no desk space as it is designed to sit atop your PC. The images are clear and can be increased to full screen. I had an older version(QuickCam 4000) The "eyeball" was OK but imaging was very herky-jerky. This new version has more real time imaging (with just a bit of lag)and fun applications(avatars), which my 10 y.o. granddaughter is trying to teach me to use via long distance. I enjoy talking to and being able to see my grands and family, who recently relocated to North Carolina from Conn. I did not give it 5 stars because at times the image does freeze, but the audio continues, but it does straighten out quickly. I don't know if that is due to distance or interference. I do use it with Skype which is a very good free program & quite easy to use. I would check around for prices as I did find the best price($65) among the dealers on Amazon.

This is a great webcam camera with excellent resolution. There were no issues with installation. The camera is simply Flawless!

works well, easy to install, lots of little extras added. i use this for skype and conferncing with my German headquarters. works great. definitely a good product for cost.

I ordered this camera off the recommendation of a friend of mine. First things first, the quality on this camera is amazing. I have brought it directly to my face, and it focused perfectly on my eye, eyelashes extremely clear and visible. This camera's ability to work in low light is also wonderful. I have managed to take very clear pictures with the light of the laptop's screen being the only light source.

Now here's the kicker, and it's important to note. I've read some reviews on here about the frame rate not being optimal for video. This is not true. The blur motion of video recording on this webcam is a circumstance of low lighting. I believe it might be capable of running better without blur, but I believe the RightLight technology which makes such low light abilities slows motion capture. In the right lighting, there isn't really any blur motion, and the frame rate is sufficient for video capture. If there still is blur motion in great light conditions, perhaps the computer's running too many programs or something intensive. But ordinarily, it just depends on your lighting. I'm using this webcam on a Windows XP computer but I know it works just as well on Macs.

I recently did a stint at the New York Film Academy. In Manhattan they have a building off Union Square and one in the heart of SoHo. They have a video link up using the QuickCam Pro 9000 between the two campuses and you can see people walking around with 0 motion blur, and the school is a solely Mac establishment.

This webcam is nice but I have had some troubles with it disconnecting with Aim and i have the latest version. I have yet to contact technical support but i could not find any help for this on Logitechs website or on the help file...
