I was looking to upgrade my web cam from my aging Microsoft 3000 and boy was I glad I found this little beauty.. What a web cam this is.

The first thing you notice is the quality, it’s very well made and the lens being Carl Zeiss you can’t go wrong.It may look an odd shape but who cares when you fire this baby up and see the stunning picture it gives, not only in recording but in web camming too. I use Windows 7 and setting up was a breeze and the software just as easy to use and what fun you can have with the Avatars and other tricks it can do.. setting this up is easy too,kids and adults alike have a great laugh in having a video mail and being spoken to by a Dinosaur..lol.

One thing you must be aware of is, it takes a fairly powerful computer to run it though for the best results,lesser mortals will suffer with jerkiness and stutter.. so check the required specs first… you have been warned.!!!. Anyone who does not get stunning results from this web cam (computer being good enough) are setting it up wrong and have no idea or should not own one in the first place. Once the software is installed the web cam just needs to be plugged in and away you go. There are several ways of recording in different sizes..640×480..to..960×720 in HD and altering the size again to 2MP and 1600×1200. There’s even a wide screen mode with several settings too. I will point out at this stage.. there are updates, but I would leave them off as I found the adjustments less and for some strange reason the quality went down..Odd one that…..Anyway..You get 6ft of cable which is handy if you want to show someone around the room, then there are all the settings to can play with.. Face tracking.. even for two people… zoom.. Auto focus… wide screen…Mic adjustment..etc etc..in fact you can just about alter whatever you need to suit your enviroment.It has whats called ‘RightLight’ technology and this works like a dream..you can switch it off if you prefer, but why when it does a splendid job of getting the correct lighting.. I have a light just above my keyboard and with the old web cam I was in total darkness so I had to switch the main lights on in the room just to see me… not with this one.. it’s has the ability to show skin tones and highlight the room with very little lighting at all and the detail is amazing.. If there’s a downside.. you have to look your best as it WILL show those wrinkles or that spot you might have..lol.

I have read other reviews on this web cam and the ones which are negative are not justified in my opinion.. most of the negs seems to resolve around not knowing or having the know how to use it… yet it’s not a difficult web cam to set up as I mentioned before..Shop around for a good deal and you won’t be dissapointed with this web cam … for me it’s the bees knees and gives a stunning performance..Get one while you can.

This was bought for my wifes Birthday, as her son works out in switzerland and in May goes to Ausie with his girlfriend.

She speaks to him at least twice a week and you almost forget its there as it works so well.

Please spend five minutes once you’ve loaded the software to set it up {a five year old could do it} and you’ll have no problems at all.

Super Product with the usuall Amazon A1 service.

Thanks Brian & Veric.
