Advantages: Once you have it, you wont know how you lived without it
Disadvantages: Cable is slightly too short

...the most out of the Logitech Quick Cam, you really need broadband. Standard dial up will result in a stop start video with the audio out of sync. Overall this web cam and built in microphone is good value for money providing you have broadband and you don't douse it in orange juice! P.s. if anyone has MSN and wants to chat, drop me a message in my guest book and I will get back to you :-) ... Read review

The cam was very quick to install and requires no technical knowledge whatsoever, in fact, if youre capable of reading this review then youll have no problems installing the camera! All you do is put the ... Read review

The Quick Cam Messenger is compatible with Windows 2000/ XP and also all major messaging applications including MSN, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, AOL etc etc. The Cam comes with HP PhotoSmart Software and also ...

Advantages: Compact, cheap
Disadvantages: (high speed internet advised)

...the earlier versions of the Logitech webcam range - at that time called the quick cam express. This was USB based and offered pretty good performance - but the highest quality setting was 320x240 and this was a bit grainy. I decided it was time for a bit of an upgrade and so out of habit, the first place I looked was the logitech range... The messenger is a very impressive unit for it's price - around £30 [a certain online bookstore's electronics ... Read review

Advantages: Easy set up and installation
Disadvantages: picture quality

Round white with a base that is stable. Installations and set up is easy. PICTURE QUALITY. Is average to poor.likes to have a lot of light when the light level gets low the picture can get grainy. When running this camera over the past couple of years it has locked up when using yahoo messenger (often) though it hasnt done it whilst using MSN, so it could be the way the yahoo messenger works. When focusing you have to do it incrementally as ... Read review

Advantages: Small, Simple to use, Cheap
Disadvantages: Quality could be better

...of use it typical of logitech (i only just reviewed my new logitech speakers which arrived 20 mins ago!) and the software it comes with is simple and very effective. When i say simple to use, i mean very simple, so simple in fact that if you can buy one off the internet, you easily have the skills to set it up! All you do it put the disk in, click setup, it installs drivers, you plug the camera in, set up the focus and microphone levels then restart ... Read review

Advantages: value for money, looks good, easy to use.
Disadvantages: need broadband for est results. small wire.

...and family. I was recommended Logitech by one of my gadget-freak friends. I chose this particular camera as I felt it was value for money and looked great - small and sleek looking. The frame rate is up to 30 frames per second, which is more than adequate for most users. I shopped around and eventually purchased a Logitech QuickCam Messenger from www.directfrom.com for £14.50. I paid £6 for next day delivery. The other options are Standard Delivery ... Read review

Advantages: Space-saving, Microphone intregated, Sleek
Disadvantages: Small Wire, Surroundings need to be exact

...the limit. I bought the Logitech Messenger Webcam at £30 from PC World. I read a lot of previews in magazines on how highly anticipated the product was and the sheer low price. I just couldn’t wait. The sleek and trendy design really attracted to my senses and shoving £30 at the till was eminent. Firstly, I was bewildered at the price tag, at such a low price with specifications as follows; • Video capture: up to 640 x 480 pixels • Still ... Read review

Advantages: Quite a good web cam
Disadvantages: Microphone not very good

My husbands family all live aboard, so we always use the internet to communicate with them, so I decided to buy a web cam so that they could see us as well as speak to us. THE LOOK This web cam is very small, the main part, which is white, is about the size of a golf ball; this part has the lens in the front. The 'ball' as it were, sits on a black base so that it does not roll around; the overall look is quite similar to that of most web cams. ... Read review

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Bad Quilt images.

Logitech Logitech is a company devoted to making Interface devices that makes things easer and more efficient for the user. They make some of the best quality and most reliable products on the market. But does the Logitech quickcam walk the walk. The Webcam and the Camera The camera unfortunately is not of Logitech’s usual quality and craftsmanship. The camera when being used is fussy and grainy. The other problem is the refresh rate of ...

Advantages: Cheap!
Disadvantages: Not great picture quality especially in low light

I purchased this camera about a week ago and have so far been very impressed. Bear in mind I paid about £17.00 for this item which is pretty reasonable considering this camera also has a stills facility and the ability to record video. Its easy to use and easy to install, just follow the instructions on the CD and it pretty much walks you through this installation. Having a teenage daughter inspired me to buy this (well pressured me actually) and ... Read review

Advantages: Very cheap and very easy to install.
Disadvantages: Takes time to get a constant good quality picture.

If you cannot afford the best cam out there then this will certanly suit your instant messaging needs. I picked one up a while ago and I found it well worth the money. Now. I have to say its the easiest thing to install. I use windows XP and the moment i plugged it in my USB slot it was detected and installed automatically in a matter of seconds. No need for the installation cd which i found to be very useful. (and yes its stable). The picture ... Read review
