Amazon.com Product Description:
Putting the power of Windows Live Messenger at your fingertips, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 takes instant messaging with family and friends to a new level of sight and sound by offering great video and crystal-clear audio with acoustic noise cancellation. Plus, you get advanced features, such as automatic face tracking software and low-light adjustment, so you feel like you're right there.



Get great video and crystal-clear audio during your Windows Live Messenger chats.


A universal attachment base fits on most monitors, including flat screens.
The Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 is optimized for Windows Live Messenger, which is used by the largest worldwide instant messenger community with over 200 million users. Three key features give you a superior Windows Live Experience. First, the Windows Live Call Button makes it easy to start a video call. Simply press the button to see who's online, and you're on your way to a video call. Second, with the LifeCam Dashboard you can access video effects and control your webcam from the Windows Live Messenger window. Lastly, with One-Touch Blogging, a single click allows you to upload to Windows Live Spaces, an "online scrapbook" that lets you easily post blogs, photo albums, and personal music lists.

The VX-3000's automatic face tracking software, which takes advantage of the camera's pan, tilt, and zoom controls, follows you so you don't disappear off-screen. Meanwhile, the camera automatically adjusts for low-light conditions for improved video quality, and a built-in unidirectional microphone with acoustic noise cancellation provides crystal-clear audio. Video effects give you a fun way to express yourself, and last but not least, the camera's universal attachment base fits on most monitors, including flat screens. Alternatively, the camera can sit directly on your desk.

Note that while the VX-3000 is optimized for use with Windows Live Messenger, Microsoft LifeCams also work with other instant messaging programs, such as Yahoo Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger.

If you want the next level of performance from your LifeCam, consider the Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000, which adds high definition video capabilities, a wide angle lens, a 3x digital zoom, and a high-speed USB connection. View a comparison of the LifeCam VX-3000 and VX-6000.

I ordered this item from Amazon on August 23, 2008. It's now September 27th and the projected ship date is October 6th. Amazon has been saying on the product page "Usually ships in 7 to 9 days", but lately, no indication of delays on product page. No matter how good it is, nothing is no better than nothing!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Satisfied
I am pretty satisfied with this camera, but it seems to adjust to different light levels in a less than ideal fashion.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - High quality, low price
Yup. That pretty much covers it.
I use it for Skype and it works brilliantly.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Web Cam
The web cams is alright, picture quality is good, and does what youd expect for the price . Feel that i should not have the microsoft one though, they always want to force you to only use microsoft products. Foreinstance the quick launch button on the cam only works with messanger, and its in such a position on the cam that you always keep pushing it, and then you get a warning message as i dont use messanger.
