Video Chat with the Logitech Quickcam Pro

Interested in video chatting? It’s a great way to keep in touch with friends who live far away, allowing you to have as close to a face to face conversation as you’re going to get on opposite sides of the country. In order to do so, you’re going to need a webcam.

The Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 Webcam is one of the better webcams out there. It’s got a great resolution, providing high quality stills and high definition video. It also has a face tracking feature, ensuring you stay in frame and in focus when it’s pointed at you. It can actually recognize where your face is and make adjustments on the fly. It can clip to the top of your laptop screen or rest on your monitor depending on your setup, and it connects to your computer via a USB port. It also has a built in microphone so you can make sure you’re always heard. So don’t rely on the boring old phone: upgrade to video chatting.

Nice site, lots of useful content, i have just given it a Digg. I have one of these cameras and while the QuickCam software isn't optimized for Macs, so you're left without the audio and video optimization technology and, less importantly, the goofy video effects and filters. But overall the camera offers a winning combination of stellar image quality, easy-to-use software, and a sturdy, stable stand. It gets my vote...

Truly one of the finest webcams...still...at a great price! See my review at Amazon (sells thru J&R). Basically, performance/resolution is limited by your internet connection speed. Unless you're using cable (or unlikely something better via a commercial method) VGA resolution is best (for DSL as well). Face tracking can be either great or annoying, depending on desires (if you don't mind the zooming/panning and don't care about showing other body parts). Autofocus and color/sound are all fantastic. BUY THIS OR ITS NOTEBOOK EQUIVALENT (9000 Pro for Notebooks, not necessary for a notebook or an LCD screen), IT'S WELL WORTH IT.
