Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech QuickCam Chat
Customer Review: Surprising video quality for the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
My brother and I have video chatted over the past few months, but his frame rates were very low and the video pixelated. He has a cable modem, so speed isn't an issue. So it was quite a shock when we video chatted yesterday evening...his video was not only clear, but streaming nicely with full motion and the built-in mic picked up his voice clearly. The performance was annoyingly close to my expensive camcorder doing double-duty as a webcam! He isn't using bleeding-edge equipment either: A Pentium III E-Machines, with USB 1.0 ports. If this camera can put some life back into that old goat, then this webcam is pretty darn good.Customer Review: Worst Camera ever!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This camera is a waste of money. I got it because it says directly on the box that it works with Windows live messanger (dont know), AIM( cant find webcam setup), and Yahoo messanger.....WRONG! I got this webcam to chat with my brother on yahoo meassanger and it wont even connect with yahoo, i tryed the help that Yahoo suggested and nothing! Dont bother wasting your time on this even if you just want to make videos with it because unless you get perfect lighting the video is grainy as hell and often eather way too dark or way blown out!!! Crap crap crap....Im dead serious this is a waste of money!!!!Customer Review: Great Webcam for Linux
Summary: 5 Stars
This webcam isn't high resolution. Yes, it will not fair very well in low light and its images won't be cystal clear.
It is a webcam, so if I am going to be streaming video across the internet, I'd like it to get there before I go to bed, so small images are good.
It works perfectly with Linux. Just plug it in (which is more than I can say for Vista, which seems to think it matters which USB port I use...). It works great with Kopete (IM client), cheese and camorama (apps for video and images) and motion (motion detecting software)
Customer Review: Not up to par
Summary: 2 Stars
This one is just not up to par. I have a Logitech camera with built-in mic that is in the $50 range, and got this for my office. The room-light picture is far less competent, and the camera ghosted pretty badly. I've traded it in for one with a better picture, and am much happier.
I recommend, as temptimg as it is to save money, if you want to use a camera inside, for Sype-ing or something similar, that you got for a camera a bit more competent than this, even though it means spending a few more dollars.
Customer Review: Works with Linux
Summary: 3 Stars
I use Ubuntu operating system and I found it really hard to find a webcam compatible with Linux both on the Logitech website and in retail stores. Then I found this webcam on Amazon. It is cheap and it worked with Ubuntu as soon as I plugged it in, without even the need to install any software. I would rate the quality of the video as medium as the clarity is low and there is no adjustment to external light intensity. The frame rate is good and the speed of my connection is 10Mbps.
