Advantages: Clear, good quality pictures Disadvantages: Poor instructions
My husband purchased the Logitech quickcam web for £59.99 from PC World and I was very dubious at first, I even covered it up when on the net just in case someone could see me. Sad I know but it made me nervous.
As I've got used to it I've been pleasantly surprised. You can take instant photos by simply pushing the button on top and as it has quite a long lead it's easy to move around. You can also make video's which don't have the slow motion effect ... ...can then be sent by email as attachments, great at the moment as my parents are in Canada and I was able to send a video of my daughters birthday party.
It comes complete with a built in mic so you don't need to buy separate equipment to have netmeetings. The video does seem to move slower when used this way though, with individual frames rather than a constant flow.
This could be because I'm not using it right, the instruction manual is very brief ...

Advantages: Good quality from a reliable company Disadvantages: Web base service is terrible
...reasons why we bought the Logitech Quickcam was for its looks. It looks pretty cool on the monitor - an eyeball staring at you. Another reason was its price. I am a believer in you only get what you pay for. All i wanted was a device that i could contact my friend on, and nothing much else (i have no intentions of having a webcam live in my house). The Quickcam provided just what i wanted (and i have purchased Logitech hardware before and was very ... ...follow the instructions provided. You MUST install the webcam software BEFORE you plug the webcam in. As long as you do this, you will have a fully working webcam within 10 mins. It really was easy - just install the software, plug in the webcam - test it out.
The picture quality isn't brilliant. I have seen better (and larger resolutions), but like i said, for personal use it was just fine.
We tried logitechs webcam connection service website. ...

Advantages: Easy to use, small, useful. Disadvantages: Needs a directory list of some sort with online users list
I have just purchased two logitech "QuickCam Web" cameras with the idea in mind to keep in touch with my son easily and cheaply. Installing the webcam was very easy. It has a USB interface and the drivers & software just loaded up straight away. The bundled software is good for making videos and stills off-line to email to friends, or to stick on a web site. But to use the webcam online you have to use MSN Netmeeting and MSN Messenger. This meant ... ...and create a microsoft passport. But once all this had been done, the actual ease of use to connect to another camera was good. The only fault i can find is that there are no directories listing online people who just want to chat - or not that i have found so far. All in all, a good product, but would be better if there was some way of seeing (or being able to connect) to an online directory listing other people who just want to chat.

Advantages: built in mic, relatively cheap now, easy to use Disadvantages: bad picture quality, slow
For anyone who just wants a simple webcamera that is pretty cost effective then the quickcam web would be a good option.
I got it a few years ago when it cost me about £55 but now ive seen it for about £25 in pc world so as cameras go its cheap enough. Its got a number of abilities, taking still pictures (you can use the button on top but be careful not to take a picture of your wrist, i prefer to just use the software and click the onscreen button) ... ...friends and family the world round as attachments. You can also use it as some sort of security device as it has motion capture built into the software, though personally i think this is more of a gimmic than a useful feature unless you want lots of pictures of your cat.
Due to the fact that it has a built in microphone you are all set up for video conferencing straight away. I personally use it to talk to my various friends around the world via ...

Advantages: Good design and easy setup Disadvantages: Not very good picture quality
The Logitech Quick Cam web is a good little camera and for the price you get what you pay for, i think we payed about £40 for ours.
The camera is a neet compact design and is well thought out, with its built in microphone, and snapshot button. It comes with two stands, one that can be used to plonk it on top of your CTR monitor (pictures) and one that allows you to clip it to you TFT monitor, i have used both of them and there are both good, the ... ...not have any any rubber feet to help it to grip onto things, the stand itself is bade of rubber but its not very sticky. The lense cover to good to stop the dust form getting onto the lens, and if it does its quite hard to clean out because its quite a way back into the camera.
The software is great, there is motion detection, and the cameara also has a low light mode which allos better viewing in them dark times. IT is possible to have a web confrances ...

Advantages: Password protection, privacy cover, games Disadvantages: None
The camera is very small and is very quick on USB. I bought the camera on its own not in the double pack. The program it uses is very quick and easy as there is everything in the title bar. It produces high quality pictures at many different sizes. It can be used for security as it has a motion detector and has the optional preference to have a password to stop the detection. If you dont want to be seen there is a privacy cover and to take snaps ...

Advantages: Small and Cute with High Resolution Disadvantages: None
Many of the Webcams on the market today look like they need a lot of work doing to them to make them look nice. And then I found this one. It looked good, and the price wasn't bad either. The specification of it rivals the very best webcams! It has USB connectivity which means it is very fast. Powered by the USB connection, you probably wont need another webcam for a very long time!
It comes with a lot of software too. From Yahoo messenger where ... ...the dame time, to the drivers it needs. These drivers are also constantly updated surprisingly by windows update, which is ideal, meaning that ou do not have to go hunting all over the manufacturers website looking to upgrade.
It also does not stick onto your monitor. It stands meaning you can move it round the room and use it in different places. Working with all operating sytems, this one anyone can buy, and very worthwhile too! ...

You should have one so that you can talk to somebody who is far from you.
i say cheap I mean that i don't need to buy camera to take photos and scanner to scan the photos into the computer. QuickCam Web camera does all these. The time and price of buying camera and scanner can then be saved. ...
