Not very sharp

For close ups, this camera is fine, but forget the zoom. Very out of focus, even after turning the focus ring six ways from Sunday. It just doesn't get sharp. Maybe 5-8 feet is the maximum distance. Outside of that it's too blurry. I also have the $28 Webcam NX and it has a much better picture for distance shots.

The focus ring took some work to get it free. The rubber ring seems to get stuck on the plastic camera body. I managed to get some plastic under it and finally got it to turn, although it still isn't very easy.

The "Face Tracking" consists of zooming in and out to find the person. There isn't any movement of the camera body. For that you have to go up to the next level of Logitec cameras.

Color is very good and there are plenty of automatic and manual settings for light, background, color etc.

Two bases are included; one for hanging onto the laptop and the other for flat surfaces. Both have rubber bases to keep them from slipping. The laptop one is very durable and flexible so you can bend it to fit the edge of the screen or other vertical flat surface. They just snap on so it's very easy to change from one to the other.

If only it were sharper it would be a really nice camera.

Nice picture, bad mechanical

I am happy with the picture quality of this web cam. However, the mechanical leaves a lot to be desired

With one day of using it, the camera head started flopping around. Looks like the spring this is supposed to be holding the head on to the base is very weak and after pointing the camera a few times, it became very loose and there is no way to tighten it or adjust it.

I thought I just had a bad one so I exchanged it. When I got the new one home, I was as careful as I can be. But within one week, the same thing happened. It is obviously a mechanical design flaw. The worse part is that the USB cable attached to the camera head is long and thick relatively to the camera. With the camera head being loose, the cable now controls which direction the carmea points to.

This makes the camera almost unusable.

novice is delighted

I am a novice web-cam user and I bought this one because of the good reviews here and was delighted. Though I can not offer any comparitive information, I can vouch for its simple set up and the miracle of being able to see and speak with someone via the internet.This cam has good visual and sound quality, I love it!!
