5 out of 5 stars Very pleasantly surprised   March 13, 2007

I bought this camera to replace a Logitech QuickCam Fusion. I'd been having problems with Skype, all of which seemed related to the Fusion.

This camera's image in significantly better than the Fusion's in my (not so great) office lighting. That's quite an accomplishment, considering the Fusion is a current product and sells for three times the price of this camera. I recommend it particularly for those who want to video-chat with their away-from-home kids. It's inexpensive enough to buy one for each.

I'm new to webcams and have found it both easy and enjoyable to use the VX1000. It installed quickly without disruption to my laptop, provides clear images, and decent audio quality. Perhaps users who are more tech minded might prefer something more elaborate, but this works well for me. Good price too.

Here's what I like about this camera:
1) Good clarity
2) Microsoft brand
3) Excellent price
4) Camera is integrated with Microsoft Instant Messenger.
5) Integrated microphone.
6) Manual focus ( I prefer manual over auto focus)

We bought one for ourselves and one for my parents who live out of state so they can see their grandkids. Ours installed fine, but my parents are still having difficulties. For some reason Internet Explorer doesn't want to work on their Windows based computer. They have been using Firefox because of the problem. This wouldn't be a problem, but the Lifecam is a Microsoft product and requires Explorer. Here we are a month after Christmas and we still haven't been able to use it so I can't give any more of a review.


We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
