Customer Reviews
Disappointed with the image sharpness.
This web cam retails for $79.95. With all the hype on the box, and at the Logitech website, I expected sharper images. Very disappointed so far. This is not the cheapest cam they make, either. Tried various settings, light adjustments on & off, etc.. My old Intel webCam worked much better, but they are not made any more, and drivers for Vista are not available. Maybe I'll get used to it. Followup: Sometimes the webcam doesn't start up after the computer has been turned on in the morning. I find that by aiming a flashlite into the lens, it starts right up. It's very sensitive to low light, in fact gives a better picture with it. I set it for 3 MP and seem to get a better picture. Maybe I was just hoping for a picture image as good as with a digital camera.
good but lack focus
This is my first webcam, so, I don't have any others to compare with. I do, however, have played with built in webcams from the newer mac books as well as PC laptops own by friends. The webcam is nicely built and mounts securely on top of my LCD monitor. I got it primarily to use video chat through skype. It works well for that application. Install went well. I downloaded directly from logitech and did not use included CD. My only con is that it does not focus well at all. I knew it is a manual focus webcam. I used a white background with letters focus method. I set the white background on the chair at the my sitting distance and turn the dial till I can read the letters on the white background. The letters were never clear no matter how slowly I "tune" the dial. This translates to slightly fuzzy picture on the other side. My experience with built in notebook cameras were opposite. The are sharp and clear all the time. I got a huge rebate on it, so it doesn't bother me. But, I am hunting for a auto focus model for the future.
Good value for the money
The Logitech QuickCam Communicate Deluxe is a good value for the money. Considering it's features and performance, I'd call it a mid-range web cam. It does a good job without costing a fortune.
The face recognition software does a pretty good job detecting the eyes-to-mouth region. It definitely doesn't have any sort of advanced visual recognition, because the software actually detects movements of the mouth, face direction, eyebrow movements, and so on. It doesn't recognize detailed mouth formations of speech sounds.
The camera has a built-in microphone, and the sound quality is quite good. It seems to filter out almost all of the normal background noises that you'd encounter in a room.
The software package contains a number of special effects capabilities, but most of them-- such as the ability to construct a personal avatar-- seem silly to me. To each his own, though...
Most importantly, the image quality is quite good. The software is good at handling low-light situations and movement.
This is most definitely not a studio-grade camera suitable for professional-quality video. But it's not priced like a high-end camera, either. It's a mid-range camera, and a good one.
I feel like I got what I paid for. I'm happy I bought it, and I'd do it again.
