Philips PCVC840K ToUcam Webcam

Advantages: Excellent image quality and sensitivity. Easy to set up and use.
Disadvantages: Slightly delicate case design.

...research I settled on the Philips ToUcam PCVC840K. If you are looking at buying one, be sure to check the precise model number as many others in the Philips ToUcam range use the cheap CMOS sensor, not the Sony ICX098 CCD. Installation: Not much to say here. Just like pretty much every other webcam. Insert CD, install software, plug in camera. Done. Unless of course you are a tinkerer, in which case you can actually modify the hardware and software ...
...amazing for the price. Because Philips didn't skimp on the most important part (the sensor chip), it gives exceptionally good quality colour images down to a very low light level indeed. The optics aren't going to compete with a full blown multi megapixel camera, but they are perfectly good. Focussing is manual, but in practise you don't need to adjust it much anyway. There has been some criticism about a low update rate. It's slightly slower than ...

Review of Philips ToUcam II Pro

Small but powerful!

Advantages: good photo quality, good features,
Disadvantages: Features randomly stop working for a while and the price

...can be downloaded from the logitech site. With this webcam, you can track your face and have it on different things. For example, a sock puppet. I tracked my face and it moved the sock puppets face which i thought was really clever! It runs on Microsoft XP and Vista.. I have windows vista and it runs really well. The camera goes from VGA to HD to even 8 megapixel photos. The 8 megapixel photos take longer to take and load but its worth it because ...
...zoom and track your face but for some reason, mine wont let me do that at the moment, so i am considering re-installing it to see if that helps. The videos great, its good quality and the sound is good too. You can use the microphone thats built in, for programs like windows live messenger too and for video calls and conferences because its good quality, so i would recommend this to a business person also. It also has "Right Light technology". I ...

Review of Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks for Business

what i thought off the microsft livecam

Advantages: it has very high picture quaity and has lots of arty effects
Disadvantages: its to expensive and is not worth what it is (my opinion)

i think the persific design is bad and can easly be improved with just a better stand and the basic shape.i think that you pay to much for the design were if it stopped tryng to be flash the price would go down and the market would grow. it also has a wide range off arty effects, not just normal colour changes but animations such as bouncing balls and moving animals. in my opinion it is good for taking pics ad chatting to your friends, but its not ...

Review of Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000

Can you see me?

Advantages: Good quality, cheap
Disadvantages: Have to download a seperate program for pictures

...through Argos and saw the Microsoft VX700. It was reasonable priced at £14.79p. So I decided to purchase this as it seemed cheap enough. In all honesty I did not expect it to be that great in quality considering the price and how much you can pay for other web cams. So I took the small box home and opened it up. The Cam was smaller than what I thought it would be, it’s the same size as my little finger, so on noticing this I automatically thought ...
...thing would live up to much expectations. The Cam is very easy to install you just plug it into the USB port and it installs all the software needed automatically, which was great no need to run any discs. It only took about 15 minutes for it to install all the software onto my pc. Also included in the pack was a set of headphones with a microphone attached. Which was good as it meant I did not have to spend even more money. So now for the test, ...

Review of Microsoft LifeCam VX-700

Nice camera for the user that doesn't need anything too fancy

Advantages: good computer software, easy to use and install, many functions for ease of use, stylish
Disadvantages: a bit too expensive, photo and video quality not the best, microphone needs to be improved to work

...webcam unit Personally, Logitech have done a fantastic job with the styling of the camera. It now however comes the time to discuss the key aspects of the webcam. There are several points here which I would like to discuss: * I bought this camera originally for its apparently easy to use and firm hold back clip for easy positioning on a laptop or monitor screen. However, I soon found that the clip is not as strong as Logitech may say it should ...
...simple and easy to use Logitech wizard to install firstly your camera hardware and then the actual computer software in easy to follow and easy to do steps. Now I will discuss the key aspects of the computer software with you. * Firstly there is the quick capture mode which is the first icon on your Logitech menu bar. The quick capture mode can take videos and capture photos of you or where ever you point the camera. This is a well designed mode ...
