Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Reviews

• Disappointing

  
  By A1B5PLK76QFL4O on 2007-12-22
  Very disappointing results from this camera. For about the same price the microsoft camera blows this away. Terrible video quality, horrible lag. the good reviews on this camera must be from people who have no comparison to a good one. Logtitech should remove this from there product line. Don't waste your money like I did.
  
  

• Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks is for the basic needs

  
  By AK7C9E51MQ86O on 2007-11-17
  I use this web camera with Dell Inspiron E1505 notebook. The quality of the picture is not the best, but it does its job: you can tell the features and shapes of the familiar things and people on the other side of the line. I use it to communicate with friends via Skype. Sometimes there is a stripe of undeveloped color that goes through the middle of the screen. I attribute it to the camera itself because I don't have anything like that happening on my other Logitech web cam that I use with my PC. I paid around $30 for QuickCam. Do not pay more for it.
  
  

• Great starter cam

  
  By A36AMZ1PBAG5RU on 2007-10-23
  I bought this Cam after installing an extensive videoconferencing suite in work so that I would link in via an IP link. From my home PC I loaded up the disk, plugged in the camera and was away. One of the easiest pieces of equipment to use. The software bundle gives you all the links to the main providers and so you can be yahooing or skypeing in minutes.
  
  The quality of the cam is obviously not the same as cams with an extra zero on the end but it is great for home use and gives you free video connectivity.
  
  Ease of use/installation 10/10, Value for money 10/10, Lens quality 7/10.
  
  It says Vista compliant on the box, but you will need to download a patch before plugging in the camera (I used it on XP).
  
  None of the main providers provide IP connection software, but it can be found on the net with a simple search.
  
  

• Excellent webcam

  
  By A287VIG5J2SQTX on 2007-12-31
  Excellent video and audio. Very convenient size. The only thing that I don't love about this webcam is the clamp. It's a bit awkward to clamp it to the top of the laptop monitor. Nevertheless, I recommend the QuickCam without reservation.

  Stay away from this puppy! Has not worked from day one and even though it says that it is compatible with WIN2000 and with YM and Skype, it keeps on crashing the system after a few moments and even after downloading the most recent firmware/drivers and software, refuses to work.
  
  Have tried contacting Logitech tech support and not a peep out of them. Might as well stick with a no-name brand and save your money!
  
  
• Very good Quickcam
  By A211PUYMU0ALWN on 2007-12-01
  I purchased this item a month ago. Installed easily worked right away. Its compact. Designed for Laptops. I would recommend this product.
  
  
• Excellent Webcam for Laptops
  By A3U0HU1Q2F3CR5 on 2008-04-15
  This is easy to install, no issues with installing to Windows XP (SP2), looks good and not that expensive. From what I have read, works easily with all instant messaging tools, I have sued with Windows Messenger and Skype. The clip for laptop is a strong one. Strongly recommend getting this one.

  This camera has a very bad picture, no matter how you adjust it, the picture is not clear. Ended up purchasing another Logitech quickcam that was more expensive, much better quality.
  
  
• Great Piece of Work
  By A3AO78TQCMXBO4 on 2007-09-14
  It is the most portable WebCam ever seen with great image quality without degrading the performance. THe sofware that comes with the cam is great and easy to install.
  
  
• Great from the start
  By ALX09FR6K949D on 2007-12-01
  Tiny little QuickCam worked great from the start- Easy to install and just the right size- Very pleased!!!
  
  
• Not too happy
  By A2H4R3DOVF10TI on 2008-03-29
  I use MSN everyday to video chat and thought that I should buy a decently priced web cam. Well, it turns out that my girlfriends $15 web cam does a better job then this one. I had to disable all of the automatic settings and manually configure it all myself to get a decent picture out of it. It overexposes everything!!!
  
  
• Extremely clear image and sound!
  By A3QCHANNNM56TY on 2008-06-06
  I love this camera! I am expecting my first baby and I bought this camera so I can communicate visually with my family in Europe. The clarity of the image and the sound is amazing! Even my sister noted that she sees me very very clearly (especially compared to her web cam). Also, it's very easy to attach it to your laptop and adjust it as needed. I love as well how compact and light it is. Great product - which reaffirms Logitech as one of my favorite brands!

  well,honeslty it could be much better for its price as the microphone doesnt work all the time
  
  
• Excellent webcam
  By A1H4IOEPP9MWYB on 2007-11-19
  Excellent product. The image is perfect, very clear. The webcam is very small and light, perfect for notebooks. I love it.
  
  
• works well; good value
  By A3IKXGSKBH1IJH on 2007-11-21
  This cam is fine for the price; you get clear pictures; fairly easy to clip to a notebook.
  
  
• Great camera.
  By A3EMVYHM3NG5U7 on 2007-08-31
  Good camera. Small, portable, easy to setup and use. Good color and quality in most lighting conditions.
  
  
• Works awesome for the price
  By A2907YOYVJLL54 on 2007-12-12
  This is a relatively cheap webcam for what you get. The software works well and the camera's picture and sound are good also. You experience some delay in picture time, but that's to be expected. Overall, great product for a great price.
  
  
• Works good!
  By A256HHFVCDWV3H on 2008-03-30
  Works good! Small size makes it easy to take it with you when traveling!
  The only negative -at least using it with small Dell notebook - seems to be the clip that does not secure camera to the edge of notebook very well!
  
  
  
• Logitech Great Product
  By A2N5Z5E1B8HX7K on 2008-04-24
  I bought this quick cam last month and I love the ease of use that it provides. Its compact, has a great picture quality, has great audio and works well with Vista. Great product for laptops. The best quality is it's auto adjust to lighting. Low light or bright light the camera adjusts automatically. The only downside is that it has a manual focus. Logitech, in my experience, has always made a great product at a great value and this camera has proved to be a great buy!
  
  
• It gets the job done.
  By A1FK7AVOREKZXW on 2008-05-02
  I really like the size of this webcam and it clips perfectly okay onto my laptop (Dell Inspiron 6000). The angel it fits is just fine (it also tilt up and down to adjust) and the sound quality is really good! Of course, it's not crystal clear sharp surround sound system sound or high definition images, but I'll say it's worth it for the buck. At first, the image seemed blurry or too much white balance and I tried to adjust using the control on the program but didn't seem to help, then I played around a little and figured out the little ring around the lens actually move for you to help adjust the sharpness. After that I've got no problem. I'm sure it must've been mentioned in manual but I didn't read it since it's so easy to install and put in that I didn't bother.I like the fun filters too.
  
  
• very good product
  By AXCLH3ONASKZG on 2008-06-09
  This camera is very good, it is not too expenseive, the quality is great. I use it for skype (on Vista) and I even use the microphone in the webcam, you can choose the resolution and even at the max one, you can have a very good image. There are some fun effects, (but this is not the main asset!) and it fits well on the top of my laptop.
  The only bad point is the manual focus, that's for saying that the camera worth its price for sure, I recommand it for all the chats and VoIP!
  
  
• Average webcam
  By A1156AZEPL7UL9 on 2008-08-05
  The quality of this webcam isn't excellent or anything close to a digital camera image but it's not terrible or grainy. This also comes with a few fun video effects like old movie, blockhead (distorts your face), four squares (Andy Warhol-like effect), etc. It doesn't come with the effect where an image takes over your face and detects your mouth movements.
  
  One thing I don't like is that the colors aren't very "true". The pictures have this whiteness to it. It doesn't really affect the quality but everything just appears a little whiter. You can adjust your settings but it doesn't change that. If color isn't a problem and you're looking for something basic, this should be fine. I personally didn't feel like it was worth the price. I'd rather pay a little more for something better, or pay less if I'll be getting something average either way. Before buying this, I'd been using a much older Logitech webcam so I thought this would be an upgrade. It was more like a downgrade, however. It seemed like something that came out five to ten years ago when it was only last year.
  
  
• Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks great except for sound
  By AO7GZIISOAOHT on 2008-08-13
  I love everything about the Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks, except for the sound quality. It sounds really staticy. The size is great for laptop bags, the video quality is acceptable (manual focus though instead of automatic focus) Nice short cord. Fits well on laptop. But I returned it due to the sound quality not being optimal. Hard to talk to people over a webcam that emits static.
  
  
• Great cam for the price
  By A2L4K3FJBR54RW on 2008-06-04
  Great camera, takes a little while to get used to all the settings but no major complaints. My only warning and small negative feedback is that it doesn't work well with Vista. It may just be my computer, but it seems to interfere with the internet in some ways after a couple of days of use but again, THIS IS ONLY WITH VISTA. Overall though it's a great product and highly recommended.
  
  
• Great cam!
  By A16VM71BLBCMMK on 2008-06-15
  So far, I love this web cam. It's super compact, easy to install and use. The only thing that I don't really like is the clamp. On my notebook the monitor area is quite slick so its hard to get it to not slip, but once I get it in place it stays. The shipping was super fast as well. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase.
  
  
• Great camera with robust features at low price
  By A58F10T4OE58C on 2008-08-03
  After having a new baby, our friends and family started hounding us to buy a webcam. Being cash strapped (you know, new baby and all), I didn't want to spend a lot.
  Luckily I got way more than I paid for with this Logitech camera. The image is clear and not too grainy, and the effects are fun. It works quite well for video web chat. Don't expect megapixel clarity, but for what it is designed for, it works well.
  I installed it on both a Vista machine and XP machine without any problems. It is very refreshing to have drivers for the Vista OS and not have any ill effects from installing peripherals.
  Couldn't ask for much more.
  
  
• Good camera
  By A2FBF8QVKCW58S on 2008-08-15
  This is a good, serviceable camera with decent quality images -- much better than the Logitech QuickCam Chat, which I also purchased. I am returning the QuickCam Chat and keeping the Quickcam for Notebooks for my son.
  
  
• Beware of sotware
  By A2R9OD9O9VPYYP on 2008-09-03
  The camera picture quality is what you can expect for the price. It works well with Skype. It's the software that's been giving me issues and I had to go through extensive trouble installing/reinstalling the CD that it came with.
  If I had a second chance I probably wouldn't choose Logitech again.
  
  
• Cheap Price Equals Bad Quality
  By AL9IY14D75OK4 on 2008-09-24
  I am extremely disappointed and will return the item. The image is blurry and just all around bad compared to other webcams I've experienced. The audio cuts out constantly and, over half the time, doesn't work at all.

  Fantastic price, fantastic results. The best way to watch my grandson grow from 1000 miles away, and hear him too!
