lifecam vx 3000

It is an OK webcam. It provides decent quality and such, but the mic is not so great. The mic made me sound super low-pitched, which I am not. It took a bit of tweaking but once I was done, it was almost as clear as my logitech mic (which has almost unbeatable quality). It has a bit of background noise too, but it's nothing major.

The video quality is really good. If you set the res. to 800x600 and then set it to zoom in 2x, it will look very nice. It's an OK webcam for a great price. I would rather have paid for another HD webcam, but this is fine for someone who just needs it for skype and such.

The installation was the worst part of the webcam so far. I had some trouble installing it on windows 7. It didn't install properly and the installer directed me to a place to download an updated installer for win7. It wasn't too bad though.

It does go on and off when you open the webcam program. I guess it dedicates itself to one program at a time. So either you have it on skype or live or the program it comes with. Not all at once. I think there is a way to change this in the properties though.

All in all, if you have a budget, this is one of the best webcams you can get.
