Logitech Quickcam Messenger - a GOOD LOOKING cam

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

...I wanted a value for money, easy to use webcam. I use MSN quite a lot and wanted a webcam to allow video messaging. I also wanted to be able to make mini videos and email them to friends 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 = £2.00 Next Day Delivery = £6.00 Next Day Pre 10AM = £12.00 Next Day Pre 12PM = £10.00 Saturday Delivery = £17.00 My package arrived the next day, complete with a USB cable and software...

Logitech Quickcam Messenger Plus - Quality stuff

Advantages: Smooth video communication with decent quality picture at reasonable price
Disadvantages: Non particularly

...from someone, make sure you get the CD otherwise it would be a problem for installing the drivers. And same applies for the USB cable (cable you would require to connect with your PC) It comes with a built in microphone and a headset is included in it. It has a cool instant snapshot function which is my fav. and it lets you have your video full-screen and makes it a snap to attach videos and photos to email in simple clicks and its quality - tell me about it and works perfectly with MSN Messenger and AIM. One thing more - you would require broadband internet connection to get the optimum video quality of live face-to-face video quality. (Only good quality camera would not do the trick - you would require fast connection for instant video communications) So before buying it make sure you get all this and have your PC meets the min...

Review of Logitech Quickcam Messenger Plus

Logitech goes Boldy, Yet Cheap...

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

...It was about time that I realised how good a webcam could actually be. I was missing a lot though by chatting to my friends on Instant Messengers and not savouring the functions of it by taking it to 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 image capture: up to 640 x 480 pixels ? Frame rate: up to 30 frames per second (with recommended system) ? High-quality CMOS sensor, built-in microphone I was amazed especially...

Review of Logitech Quickcam Messenger

Its Logitech....its Good, what more can be said?!

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

...the picture quality is easily as good as i expected for the price, the simplicity 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 your computer. Thats it! Also, the software it comes with is extremely simple, just run the program and you get all kinds of options like record a video, take a picture (using the button on the program or the handy 'quick capture' button positioned on top of the unit) and even start a messenger program direct from...

Review of Logitech Quickcam Messenger

logitech a web cam without tech.

Advantages: Can record voice.
Disadvantages: May need to punch holes in firewall.

...This webcam is a piece of crap. Many of the complaints on this cam are having a very poor software support and much complaint for not working properly with yahoo messenger. However the Yahoo messenger will work on this one but the video will be very choppy if you are behind a firewall. If you are using a software firewall, enable port 5100. If you are using a broadband gateway or other type of router, you need to setup a either a virtual server or a port trigger. The port triggers are great if multiple computers on your network want to use the web cam. Just set up a trigger on port 5100 that opens 5100. If only you will use the camera, set up a Virtual Server that routes all traffic on port 5100 to your local IP address. One of its features is the ability of the camera to take still photos and record short video clips. You can...

Always There When i Am Needed

Advantages: Easy to Install
Disadvantages: None as yet

...I spend a lot of time on the road and don't always get chance t speak to my mates and see them as much as I woul like to so last weekend I invested in the Logitech Quick Cam Messenger. I wasn't looking for anything too over priced and just wanted something basic and once getting it home and installing it for the price I paid, it is everything that I need and more. 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 a disk to actually install the CAM, as with any software this is extemely user friendly and easy to install as it has a wizrd like most things and I didn;t come across any problems so is very user friendly. Once installed you are away, I personally use MSN most...

Review of Logitech Quickcam Messenger

Nice Webcam!!!

Advantages: Nicely Priced, Good image
Disadvantages: Nothing really

...Some of my friends already had webcams to use with MSN Messenger so not wanting to be left out I thought I'd buy one too. Doing my usual bargain hunting around the shops, I came across this Logitech QuickCam Messenger Webcam which was priced at £19.99 which seemed reasonable as the others were in excess of £30 which seemed steep to pay for one. After i bought it i opened it and the contents were as follows: The web camera itself, complete with the USB lead (which will work with either USB 1/2), a rubber stand, a CD and a brief but easy to follow installation manual. The camera itself is round shaped and as with almost all webcams, the front has the camera lens and the outer part of which is a focus ring. On top is a small button which you can use to capture a quick snapshot when you are running the QuickCapture software. There is...

Logitech X-230

Advantages: clear sound, very low noise
Disadvantages: remote control would be nice

...An easy, plug'n'play sound system in cute-looking body with great performance. I was looking for new speakers for my laptop but then I decided I wanted more than just speakers and started searching through the lists of 2.1 and 5.1 sound systems. Originally I was about to buy a 5.1, but I realized such a set wouldn't be smart for a laptop which I wanna carry around and have it now on my desk, then on my bed, then on the floor etc, for which a 5.1 felt too much of cables and mass. I'm happy about my decision since the Logitech X-230 has proven to live up to the expectations based on what they promise, the sound is clear, full and I find it great for both music, games or movies. The subwoofer bass is strong and full, perfectly satisfying for almost cinema movie experience. You can hear hardly any noise and the volume range is wide enough...

Review of Logitech X 230

cheap & cheerful

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: a few minor faults

...I was bough the logitech quickcam messenger for christmas and i believe it cost arounf the £50 mark from argos. Its slightly cheaper now and I know you can get them for around £30 brand new, not to mention much cheaper for used ones from Ebay. 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 accompanying disc into the drive and follow the instructions, a few clicks here and there and youre away! The camera can be used to broadcast live video, either via a website or through a messenger such as MSN. It can take photographs and record videos with sound. There is a focus ring on the camera which means you can adjust the focus and make the picture quality very clear indeed. I...
