Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech QuickCam Chat
Customer Review: Pretty good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
It's pretty good quality. Easy to set up and use, but you get what you pay for. The video quality is pretty good and it adjusts to my indoor lighting pretty well. Sometimes I have to shine some light on myself, but usually it's no different than when I'm doing homework. I don't really use the microphone because I already have one that is probably better. Hoever, I do have one issue. The focus on the camera is manual so you have to adjust it yourself. It's fine when you're just going to talk at the desk and usually just sit there, but if you want to move around and show things, it'll be a major pain, but I guess it's good for what you pay for.
Sometimes the light indicating that it is on will stay on all the time, but that's usually on start up. Once you open a program that would use the video like skype, it will turn off after you're done. All in all, good value and does just fine for video chatting, easy to clip onto the laptop, even if it isn't the most secure, but it's not like I move the laptop around everywhere while I'm talking.
Customer Review: Not that great
Summary: 3 Stars
I should do a video review using the cam, but you'd not be able to see me very well. This is not worth the money. Spend the extra and get the next step up. I bought this to chat with my daughter and some friends. It is grainy, and VERY slow... i look like I am moving in slow motion ALL the time. My daughter's webcam is fantastic! It is super clear and like watching TV. No lag time or anything. The webcam was easy to install, no issues with Skype (which is what I bought it for), and it works fine on my laptop. Bright light, such as sunlight, in front of you helps with clarity a bit. There is not any microphone, but does come with a mini headset of sorts. It has an earbud with a mic on the cord. I've not tried that as my laptop has a microphone. If you have the extra to spend, get the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. If not, and you are like me, this one will do the job, but don't expect it to be that great.Customer Review: Nice cheap webcam for a linux user
Summary: 4 Stars
As a linux user, I've all too often run into poor hardware support from vendors who only know of or support ms windows, so it was with some trepidation that I recently looked for a reasonably priced webcam. When I saw the logitech quickcam chat, I figured it was hard to go too far wrong for the price, but as it turns out, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it works fairly nicely, and it was surprisingly little fuss to set up.
I merely followed the instructions in the suse webcam wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Web_Cameras and I was up and running in a few minutes, chatting with kopete on a yahoo connection to a friend in another state.
I rate it at 4 stars only because the quality of the images is not as good as it could be - but for a cheap webcam it's perfectly acceptable.
Customer Review: uhmmmmmmmm okay wouldn't buy another one
Summary: 2 Stars
This was one of the worst cams I have ever purchased since learned my lesson going to save up for one of those digital handheld camcorders instead with better resolution and megapixels. This was aweful the picture was grainy horrible experience wouldn't buy another. I use them mostly to do my expotv product reviews this wasn't working for what I wanted it for. So I am saving up to someday get a aiptek digital handheld camcorder or one of those flip ones instead. this is okay maybe for yahoo messenger if that .I definitly like my Creative Live one better. My other logitech which was the quick cam im messenger or something the gray one my boyfriend gave me worked alot better had better resolution this one wouldn't recommend it get what you pay for kind of a thing .Customer Review: Great camera with a great price!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great camera for the price. Now don't buy this camera if you are looking for high-definition video from it. I have this camera just to be able to talk to family and friends out of state and out of the country. It is reliable and provides the video I need to be able to see and talk with the people in my life. You can't beat an under $20 camera with this quality. Don't forget about the reputation that Logitech has. I've been using their products for years and love every single one! This camera comes with software that has some great features like low-light adjustment, brightness, contrast, and color. If you need a great camera and a great price, Logitech Quick Cam Chat!
